I have been doing awful. My back was hurting and the only exercise was my work on the farm Tuesday. Unfortunately I have eating so badly. My MIL is visiting and I have been eating like crap the last few days. I just know I have ruined all my hard work and made myself further behind. I am sorry to let you down team. I just…

Thanks Donna. I love Chicago, I live about 45 miles west of it though. So funny I don't go there much and I love close by.

I don't think she is doing it on purpose. I am not sure if a chat will work. I have been carefully saying things about my binge problems and how food is difficult for me. She said many times while here, "I didn't come here to diet". I keep explaining that I do not "Diet" and I do not believe in diets. Many times she goes…

I had a list of things to do if I feel a binge coming on. However I never used it. I see my therapist again Aug 15th. I had a horrible binge the other day (aug 7) and It was due to stress. There is a lot of junk food in my home that I do not usually buy (MIL bought it) so I have temptation everywhere! I am learning to…

I did exercise app review yesterday and today is book review: My book review: Lost and Found One Woman's Story of Losing Her Money and Finding Her Life by Gennen Roth This book relates her money problems to binge eating problems. I enjoyed the book and read it quickly. I would recommend any of her books. They are not just…

I am doing better. I lost 4 pounds since yesterday so some of the gain was water weight. A friend of mine thinks my MIL is bringing crap into the house to sabotage me. She has weight problems and just went off a diet and now gained some weight. Is that possible? Maybe she does not realize it? Or maybe my friend is wrong?…

It is a 17 day visit. I have until Aug 17th. It was TOO LONG! Today I am taking her fabric shopping. She wants me to teach her to sew a tote bag/purse. At least it does not involve food and I can keep my hands busy! I might get myself some fabric or a craft to complete just to stay away from the pantry. I am also going to…

Exercise App review. I only use a few exercise ones. One is my motoactiv, myfitness pal and endomondo. I also like my chipotle nutrition app. I can select my burrito bowl ingredients and know how many calories I am getting for each topping. It was on my old windows phone and now I have it on android.

He probably won't throw out the junk. It does make it hard on me though. Last night I overate. I did not have a binge but I ate too much. I am working so hard I don't want to ruin it just because we have a visitor here. Today I register the kids for School. It will be good cause I will be out of the house!

I 100% agree!!! I saw a new therapist last night. I sure hope this one works out. She was so good. She talked about the binge eating right away. Gave me some tips and had some very good points! I am seeing her again. She is helpful. Finally someone talks about the BED and not just my anxiety. My MIL is coming today for 2…

A doctor recommended meditation. I am going to give it a try. I have had a few better days lately. Today I see a new doctor so I may get some more ideas too. I am doing cabin cleaning since my MIL is coming to visit soon. I like chatting with all of you too!!

Yesterday I felt the addiction part. I ate one sweet item at lunch. I felt like I needed more sweet later on. I had to fight the urge to go eat everything that was sweet in the house. Luckily there wasn't much sweet here.

Prephred I also had some medication contribute to my weight gain. I swear that type of weight is very hard to lose! Thanks for sharing your experience!! spacecurly I have a hard time seeing how much I have lost. I was just thinking I might need to put my fat pics up right in front of my face. I need to look at them more…

Welcome! I started at 323 pounds and lost 100 before coming to MFP. It is very hard when you have a larger amount of weight to lose. I heard a good explanation on a podcast about BED that it may not be the amount of food but the feelings/emotions you have while doing it. There are some online assessments for eating…

Thanks so much. I really don't know what I would have done without you this week!! :flowerforyou: <> My doctor was away at an emergency and I saw her hubby. He recommended exercise and meditation. I have been exercising regularly for the last 2.5 years. That was a big help, exercise to stop binge eating. For someone that…

I am amazed at how for a long time I thought I had to starve or eat so much less to lose. It is nice I can eat a bit more and lose. thanks for sharing your info!!

Hello! Been a tough week for me. I have almost given up several times. I am doing Appreciating Nature day today. We are also doing some geocaching. You look for hidden items by other people. It will be our first time trying it. You use a GPS or your phone.

Hi everyone!! I have been having a horrible time lately. I see my therapist/doctor tomorrow. To anyone looking for help don't stop looking till you find someone good. I have had a hard time with Doctors/therapists. My doctor wants to try topomax next. I am very worried! I don't want any side effects from a drug. However I…
