Glad you found us!! I can tell from reading your intro that you will find many kindred spirits here :ohwell: Yes, forgive yourself! I think that is such an important part of recovering from this! I love this group because the people on here forgive me when I can't forgive myself, and I think that has really made all the…

Here we go!! Love seeing all the zeros by everyone's Binge :) Now to keep it at zero!! I'm feeling good about this. No Easter sweets at all and now no binges. I am learning the hard way, but I am learning. Me: 1 Binge: 0

Me: 25 The Binge: 6 Final. I'm really happy with this month! I went through a bad stretch after Valentines with all that candy around and finally got back to steady healthy eating about two weeks ago. The big blessing is that I didn't eat all the Easter crap that was around because I really don't want to go through that…

Wonderful transition!!! You look so much healthier and stronger and just fantastic!!!!!!!! I'd love to see an updated picture of your face - you had changed a lot already in the October pic :) Beautiful!

Hi everyone :) Welcome Carly! Two topics discussed above caught my attention: One: Control. I am one of the people who react to too much control with mindless rebellion. It's true in my personal life and definitely in my eating. In fact, my success since I started on MFP is probably because of the freedom I have to eat…

Me: 23 Binge: 6 Rough night last night. Ate a bit extra, but couldn't find anything in the house to go wild with :) 11 days binge free:drinker:

Thank you all soooo much!! You all look so good and so much happier and comfortable with your bodies. I am inspired and really shocked at all of the amazing transformations on here. I hope you all continue to be successful until you reach your goals :drinker:

You didn't by any chance take Cipro or any other antibiotics in that family last year did you? They cause tendon inflammation adn damage in some users. Your symptoms sound a lot like a friend of mine who reacted badly to them. She is having symptoms related to that drug which she took years ago!! Google antibiotics and…

I really like this goal...! For sure this is a problem for me, too. I can't have one binge and go right back to my healthy eating, No, I have to continue struggling to get back to equilibrium for sometimes weeks!! I really do fear the binge monster, because once it's got me I really can't get away easily. I don't always…

Me: 20:drinker: Binge: 6:angry: I actually lost some weight this week..it's been a long binge cycle and I am only losing weight that I recently gained. Still, I am better off than I would be if I wasn't on here struggling with the Monster. One of my big triggers is lack of sleep and I have been working really hard on that…

What you posted really got me interested to try to figure out why I so love to get alone with lots of food... I do associate fun times with food and I realized today that when my son is feeling down, I want to get him a favorite food to make him feel better....not a good thing to be teaching my child. I know I overeat to…

Beautiful. Thanks!

Me: 17 :heart: Binge: 6 Four days binge free. Hoping for the best. Just do your best everyone and be kind to yourselves!

Me: 15 Binge: 6 I really didn't recover from the chaos of Spring break for days! I feel like I am in a boat called Healthy Eating moving along calmly and all is well unless the environment gets turbulent and then I fall out of the boat. It takes a while for me to swim back and get into the boat and then the boat has to…

Very interesting information!! I just went to Wikipedia to check out Leptin, and it certainly has a powerful impact on hunger, weight gain and metabolic rate. I also went to this website: http://www.wellnessresources.com/weight/articles/the_five_rules_of_the_leptin_diet/ Definitely adding some of this to my eating plan.…

@ escapepod and stunningalmon, I have the same issue with finishing all the left overs!! It's not like I ever did not have enough to eat or anything, I just hate to throw away food! I'm going to try the Tupperware idea. Usually it"s a small amount that I could eat for a snack at some point...:embarassed: Still trying to…

That is funny!!!! Unfortunately, I find that at my age- 59, and after having surgery, if I drink all that water I wet myself:laugh: Well, it's probably not funny, but have to laugh at myself. It is true for me that if I under drink by very much, I will overeat for some reason....probably craving fluids, but not smart…

Thanks to both of you for the ideas and the focus on solutions. I am not binging, but am eating enough to gain weight every week for the past two. I don't have that awful feeling that comes from the binge and I don't feel stuffed, but I am way over on my calories.It's like a drawn out binge that never gets so bad that it…

Late night eater here. I think it's related to a lack of sleep for me. I feel like sleeping, but I don't for some unknown reason. I overeat of get sleepy. I can do three things to get to sleep: I can overeat, I can have an orgasm, or I can take a tranquilizer/anti anxiety pill. If I wake up after getting to sleep, I often…

I was in OA for years and it worked very well for a while. I had to go to meetings 1 or 2 times everyday and I ended up socializing with other OA members almost exclusively. Very similar to recovery in AA.. I got down past my goal and maintained as long as I stayed in the close knit group. I don't like the mantra they say…
-
I won't go into details, but I have done the same, except I only threw up once and I broke all the blood vessels on my eyelids and looked crazy the next day so that was no longer an option. The depression...I just want to say that the people on here have kept me from going there in spite of my behavior and I hope you open…

I just noticed that there are over a thousand members of this group!! And I wonder where they all are now. I hope they recovered from this pattern of eating, but I fear that many have given up. That is not an option for any of us, right?:angry: I am so glad to have all of you around me:flowerforyou:

Hi Diane! It's so good to see you writing on here. We all have so much in common that I get a lot of support from this discussion page. I am so impressed with your weight loss. You may be struggling now, but you have been doing great for a long time! I am just a few months in here, and I am already struggling a lot, so…

Me: 14 Binge: 3 Today was the first easy day in a long time :)

Me: 13 :drinker: the binge: 3:mad: Not binging, but not sticking to my plan either. steady overeating is not a binge, but it's not where I want to be. I'm tracking my sleep.. I really need to get that under control, I think, before the rest will come together. :yawn:

I can only say what I need to hear - It' about progress, not perfection! The fact that you came on here and shared is a great step! Being able to see what you are doing and why is another step toward your success! Reading what other MFP people are doing to handle the problem is another great step! No matter how bad you…

I remember babysitting for the first time and spending the whole time going through their cupboards looking for food. They said I could eat anything I could find, so I took that as a license to pig out. I ate a whole bad of sweets once..their reaction was to make sure there was a bag every time I babysat - an 8 oz bag!…

Wonderful!!! You look great!!! You worked hard and stayed with it and it shows:drinker:
