  • @PetitClapotis, @Moxie42, @hillmike56 Thanks! It's encouraging.
  • Hope you are feeling better today.
  • So last week I went a little overboard on 5 of 7 days. That sounds bad. But I'm actually quite proud of myself. In the past I wouldn't have eaten healthy on any of those days. I would have looked at the calendar and saw that I had 3 baseball games, was meeting my daughter's boyfriend's parents for the first time and was…
  • OMG. I am going through a similar thing right now. I will have our place in the city (it's sort of a vacation home away from home) to myself for several days next week. I love the place. But being left alone there is a huge trigger for me. I like your idea of meal planning. As my husband likes to point out, there IS a…
  • Me:8 B:3 DBF:0 Oops. I did manage to stop myself quite a bit sooner than usual, so there's that.
  • Thanks @KnitOrMiss and @brittdee88 for the advice. I will take that into consideration. However, like @Moxie42 the thought makes me nervous because I tend to have my worst binges when I'm NOT counting. It's like if I don't count it, it doesn't count.

I was thinking that a good goal for me this time around would be to try to stay on track with my calorie goals on more days per week than I binged. This might be just the way to hold me accountable. Mind if I try this with you?…
  • If it has calories, yes. If it doesn't, like salt and some mustards, no. If I had a problem that required monitoring my sodium or other micronutrients, I would start counting everything. Hopefully, I will never have to do that or I'd go nuts.
  • I allow myself one "cheat" day a week where I don't count calories. It helps me stay on track the rest of the week and keeps me from going crazy. Besides sometimes just wanting to enjoy some food or beer that I usually think of as off limits, I just find it nice to take a break from the tedium of measuring and weighing…
  • Thank you. This morning I thought "I should go for a walk today." Your post gave me the shove I needed to actually get out the door. I walked for about an hour and an half! I was nicer out than I expected,so figured I'd better enjoy it now while I have the chance. The colors were really beautiful, especially the reds on…
