This....I dress up daily for work. Switching into my "comfy" yet probably tacky, clothes is the first thing I do when I get home.

I'll check out that App. I wasn't sure what app to get. Good luck on your race!

Amazing and inspiring. Thank you!

I'm doing the workout program that is with the 21 day fix. It has a yoga day and a Pilates day and I enjoy them too! I enjoy the workouts and I for sure work hard with them. But I'm ready to add to that. I'll be sure to work lower body days around running days. That was great advice too! I'm sending friend request to you…

Didn't realize there were apps!!! YES we can!!! I may check this program out and start today! I'm ready!

That was my second question...do you guys still do this and do strength training. I want to my strength training routines too! Great advice!!! Thanks!!!

Somehow I just found this thread....and I like it! Dinner tonight in my household will be: -Pork Loin cooked this way: http://www.alwaystime4fitness.com/blog/slow-cooker-carnitas/ -Salad -roasted purple cabbage/onion/zucchini/cherry tomatoes

+10 for this exchange and understanding what some of us deal with +10000 for CBT and anti anxiety meds which have drastically helped with my binge eating

yummy!

No.

This is the definition that I use for binge eating: (From the DSM) 1. Eating, in a discrete period of time (e.g. within any 2-hour period), an amount of food that is definitely larger than what most individuals would eat in a similar period of time under similar circumstances. AND 2. A sense of lack of control over eating…

No, I'm not saying that couldn't be a cause. I'm simply saying there may be other causes that others have suggested as well. I thought your suggestion to make sure she wasn't under-eating was a great one. And I didn't rule anything out, as I don't think anyone else did, because I'm not personally assessing her or…

This! I like it!

I understand what you are saying but I feel that people, like myself, are just simply sharing their own personal journey and understanding of similar issues. There is no way at all through a forum post to truly assess what the real issues are. But she asked if anyone else had struggled with the same things, and those who…

I'm still unsure where anyone has actually said sugar detox and cutting out junk food. OP says she has problem with chocolate and certain sweet treats mainly. Can't she cut chocolate and still eat pasta if she wants to hit her calorie needs? ETA: Not saying anyone hasn't used the term, I just don't see it. ETA2: I also…

Shockingly Gambling is now listed in the DSM 5! But I get sidetracked. Yes I agree with you. But I do understand what some people really mean when they say addiction such as they have no control over it, obsess over it, and feel better when they get it. But I want people to understand, the same as you I'm sure, that there…

Yes there is a reason for these behaviors beyond just a habit. OP, you could very easily have a binge eating disorder. I encourage you to talk to someone about it!

Did someone use the word detox? I don't remember seeing that.

Me and this poster tend to disagree on some things....though I'm not saying he is wrong. He comes from a trainer/nutrition background and I come from a therapeutic and mental health background so it's natural we view things not so much different, but at different angles. There is no where in the DSM (what I use for…

And people who are not lean have stress and do not deal with emotional eating. But before I take anything you've posted out of context, are you saying that people don't self medicate (with food) emotional distress (high anxiety) as well? Things get so mixed up on these forums I like to be sure. ETA: Are you also saying…

This will more than likely start a HUGE thread of discussions/debate/fighting because some people believe moderation is the key and some believe that refraining is the key. All I can tell you is I completely understand! I will say that I am addicted to sugar but then there will be people say there is no such thing. So I'll…

I just copied and pasted this from her page. She just posted this: From a "For Today" newsletter from OA. This is good. Written by a gal from England. A list of things to say to yourself when you feel like bingeing! Here's the link if you want to read the whole newsletter, it's really good:…

Whether it be a physical issue, or a mental/emotional issue, if you are binge eating like this and unable to understand why, talk to a counselor and your doctor. I had similar habits and I tried to change them. Over the past two years I have been diagnosed with thyroid issues and some deficiencies which caused me to have…

Made me giggle!

I eat "mostly clean" too. Though that has a wide array of definitions by different people. I limit my serving of dairy to one a day which it typically a stick of cheese because I love it so much. However, I also am doing a whey protein shake with my breakfast and that is pretty much dairy too. But I don't consume more than…

I too use ground turkey pretty much all the time in place of beef. We've just started doing our hamburgers this way and they were a bit dry but I've gotten suggestions on this site to help with that. Ground turkey or ground chicken sausage is great too! But you can pretty much find all sorts of recipes online and on…

One more thing: femur bones. But the only ones that don't break apart or split are the ones we buy at a high end pet place. They aren't easy to find and I've bought some that just cracked into pieces. ETA: They are hollow and full of grossness that the dogs LOVE. Mine will spend hours licking out the inside and then…

Someone may already have these suggestions, I haven't read through them all. But one thing you can do with your kong is mix dry food, PB and a little water, stuff the kong and freeze it. It makes them work longer and tire out faster. Also a kong wobbler with food is great and it's indestructible. Also, if you can get…

OP you sneaky little bugger you! You created all this madness on purpose didn't you?! :smile:

I never even thought about this and it is so true for me! I do this!
