To weigh less than my sister - 10 lb goal. I'm doing 10 lbs at a time and took me a year to lose 30 lbs. I'd like to speed up and do this in less than 2 months.

I'm still here. Still listening to Big Bang and watching Korean dramas. I love the focus on exercise in the Korean culture. Currently watching Go Back Couple and Revolutionary Love :) Silly relaxing stories to de stress so I won't be looking for food comfort. I'd still love to find a KDrama community on here. Did you watch…

I'm in! Lily, I'm very motivated after having several months of steady, healthy weight loss. I just raised my goal a little so I can get to a personal goal by Christmas. Merry Christmas to me! My weakness right now is organization of my meals and planning ahead so I'm currently researching muffin pan breakfasts and other…

Talking to myself to keep this on top of the conversation. Dancing to Big Bang's "Bang, Bang, Bang" for my exercise tonight!!

The most important thing I have learned on here is to not let my perfectionism or expectations derail my commitments. With that, I feel that I no longer binge! I do graze excessively, true enough. It's no longer the same self-abusive rage and guilt filled stuffing of my past. I want to let everyone in this group know how…

Me: 0 Binge: 7

Blah... horrible beginning for August. No major binges, but just steady, mini binges all day. Feel awful :( Me: 0 :cry: Binge: 6

Me: 18 Binge: 13 This has been a really difficult month for me with my eating habits....I come home from work and binge almost every night. I decide every night after I enter my food in my diary that tomorrow will be different, but I end up doing the same thing...I really thought I was over this pattern.. Tomorrow starts a…

Me: 18 Binge: 8

The last time I posted on here I was commenting on how difficult it is for me to keep my eating in order now that I have started working full time again. I am continuing to struggle with that. I got my lunches under control and am making good healthy filling lunches, but I still have overwhelming binge urges when I get out…

July 17 Me:10 Binge: 7 Can I start this month over?????

July 10 Me: 8 Binge: 2 Already worse than last month. Need sleep.

I love the term "my natural weight" !! Thanks DucksandOrang for that :) I am also trying to get back to a healthy mental state around eating. One of the biggest predictors of my state is the amount of veggies I eat in a day. Lately zero. .. today lots of fruit, and that is good, but its the bulky, fiber and nutrient filled…

Me: 5 :drinker: Binge: 1

Not a great start... Me: 3 Binge: 1 My non binge days have not been good either. I'm not being honest in my logging because I don't want to hear the comments about how someone would not have made that choice...no kidding, I wouldn't have either...ya know??? So overtired. Better days are coming :)

I started working and my eating just is all over the place. Every day I come home famished and can't seem to make myself wait until I can prepare something healthy. So I grab anything or eat fast food before I get home :( My calories aren't awful, but the healthiness of my food has gotten really bad. I've had 3 binges in…

Me: 15 The Binge: 1 Haven't lost any weight this month, though, because I've been pushing the limit of "normal overeating" regularly. So...tomorrow I go back to my old, careful eating on most days. Perhaps a planned 'cheat', but no daily grazing on sweets....

Me: 8 Binge: 1

This thread is a perfect example of the reason my diary is only open to my friends....there are way too many people on MFP who are not here to support others, but only on here to criticize and disrespect other people. I just choose not to spend my time dealing with that mess. The open diary is a great tool for me in my…

Me: 4 Binge: 1 Not enough calories to satisfy my criteria for a binge...but 1400 calories in one sitting of eating junk compulsively....sure felt like a binge. Feel like I am slipping and sliding....

Not exactly this... Obviously you know all this, which is why you are on here reaching out for help. THAT is action on your part!! Give yourself a pat on the back for taking the first step and just keep taking the steps toward your goal. :drinker: Trying to lose the weight that you recently lost is one of the most…

I have to tell you all that if I don't come on here and read your comments on a regular basis, I get very mindless about eating. Just reading this one page has really centered me a lot!! Being able to talk about it helps so much, it actually shocks me what a difference it makes in my level of hope and determination…

Me: 25 Binge: 2 I've been adding sweets lately and am eating over my goal because of them. Often the sweets lead to binge behavior for me, so I really want to stop that and also to get back to my 5 fruits and veggies per day since that seems to keep me on an even keel with cravings.

Me: 19 Binge: 2

Me: 18 Binge: 2 Doing okay. Not eating very well, which puts me close to foods that can trigger me. I need to get more organized about my food. In particular, I need to be eating more fruits and veggies and less quick and salty and fatty foods.

Me too. I find it's sneaky though, like I get numb subconsciously first, then I eat because my logical alert mind it not functioning. Getting on here and logging as I eat sometimes helps. Not always. And I'm not always willing to stop and do it.

Me: 15 Binge: 1 :grumble: I was doing great, and then I lost 2 pounds....binge time. If I keep it to only one day, I will feel like I am making progress. I need to get to the root of my feelings about losing weight!!!!

Me: 14 Binge: 0 Some rocky times going in and out of the kitchen over and over again, but not finding the food that would make me feel better, so I get water and go back t what I was doing, but pretty soon I'm back in the kitchen looking around...still haven't found "the food" that will make me feel good....

I sure can see the difference!!! Lost a pound from your face :). That is so inspiring and I give you credit for sticking with it through the hard times - that's what it takes:drinker:

I can definitely see it!!! Great work!!! You really look wonderful already, can't wait for your next group of pics!!!!
