^this. Your post wouldn't motivate anyone that was having a difficult time. Anyone who is failing in their diet already knows he needs to have more self-control. All you basically said is that you are a loser, you are whining like a loser and until quit acting like a loser you are going to fail. Wow Tony Robbins move over…

I would read this and take it from there. It's the best! You aren't going to lose the weight overnight with this approach, but you will lose weight and keep it off. I have been exactly where you are and if you need a friend I will be there for you. Friend me if you want!…

^this is fantastic. :D Makes me so happy for you. Heather: 25 Binge: 1

Sooooo proud of you too. It's little accomplishments like that that can really make you stronger. So awesome.

You look great! The happy smile on your face made me tear up. I'm so happy for you.

This in the past has been a HUGE one for me as far as binges. When I would get out my routine and eat "bad" foods with friends/Boyfriend I would see it as "screwing up" my day. My all or nothing mentality would kick in and I thought since I already failed by eating the "wrong" foods might as well keep eating and start over…

Thank you for posting this quote and thanks for the encouragement too! Heather: 24 Binge: 1

Seriously, this is so awesome.

Wow this is awesome. Great job!

I read one of his books (not the newest one, but the one about "Skinny Rules") and he said across the board all women should eat 1200/day. So when I started on here and they (MFP) recommended 1200 I didn't see a problem with it. But when I started to hang around the message boards and listen to some posts--aka In Place of…

Heather: 23 Binge: 1 This the first time-THE FIRST TIME- in my adult life that I have eaten "normally" for this many days. I truly believe it's b/c I'm eating at a normal daily calorie intake (1600) and no food is "good" or "bad" or off limits. I mean how simple a solution for me is this and yet I never was able to grasp…

I think this was a great idea to start with these last two days. It's not about being perfect, but focusing on the positives. I'm proud of you for getting back on track. That's awesome!

I'm glad you're here. :happy:

I'd urge anyone having binge eating problems to join the Binge-Eating Support Group here on MFP. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/726-binge-eating-support-group You can meet a lot of great people that are going through the same things you are. No judgment, just support and help. You won't regret it. :)

I completely agree.

This sounds like something I would do. At least it wasn't all weekend long which makes me very proud of you. It's a new week and you can look forward to hubby coming home. Yay! :)))) Heather: 21 Binge: 1

^^^whoa, this! She put it perfectly.

If anyone is interested there's a group "Binge Eating Support Group" here on MFP. Anyone can join! There is a monthly challenge to log in daily and report if you binged that day or not. It's an excellent way to stay accountable and also reward yourself when you succeed in overcoming binge urges and emotional eating. There…

^^^this right here is so awesome! I completely agree. Thanks for sharing this. I mean I've always thought about things in terms of change your circumstances or change how you think about them, but what you've said gives me something else to ponder about. I'm good at dwelling and obsessing on things. lol Anyway I'm all…

Pretty amazing.

Wow, definitely been there. Great job!

So fantastic! Keep up the hard work. You are awesome.

Robb, be really proud of yourself for losing all that weight. You are awesome. As for the attention, I know that feeling. Sometimes the backhanded compliments are so much worse than hearing nothing at all. And sometimes the well meaning praise is annoying too. I've learned to just accept it all as positive and realize you…

It is a lot of work preparing and cooking everything not to mention buying all the crazy things that aren't available at your local supermarket. I didn't enjoy how specific and precise you had to be about your water intake, when you drink it, and all the other variables that are at play that make it VERY difficult at times…

I had to tear up from your accomplishments. I'm so happy for you!
