Oh I know that severe restriction leads to binging and weight gain, that's for sure. On both occasions that I decided to drastically cut calories (less than 1000 actual, less than 300 net), hoping for a quick weight loss, I failed miserably. What led me to frequently binge from December on, after several months of doing…

I haven't been here in a while and I really need to get back into the game this month. December wasn't kind to me and I let the binge beast win way too many times. Me: 2 The Binge: 2

Me: 16 The Binge: 11 I've been binge free for two days.

Me: 14 The Binge: 8 I am under a lot of stress these days, on top on the stress brought on by all the binging itself. Christmas is going to be tough this year... I feel lost and I have yet to get back the confidence I need to turn things around and stop this binge streak. My binges aren't small, either, so the physical…

Me: 13 The Binge: 7 I'm feeling hopeless and ashamed...

I've tried this recipe and liked it : http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2012/09/06/no-flour-black-bean-brownies/ It really helps that there is chocolate in there and not just cocoa powder (I used 70% chocolate). Oh and don't forget to get no salt added black beans!

Me: 10 The Binge: 5 Crepes - I see where you're coming from. My boyfriend works long hours and I spend a lot of time alone at home. It does make things difficult. And of course one binge often triggers a second one... But you can definitely turn things around this week.

Me: 9 The Binge: 5 I had a good day today. I am going to log calories again, at least for a week or so. I've had such a hard time staying on track so far this month, I need all the help I can get. Five is the most binges I've had in a single month since August, and it's only the 14th!

Me: 8 The Binge: 3 I didn't binge yesterday, so that's good. This morning however I stupidly decided to weigh myself. After my earlier binges this week, I am up 4 pounds. I know I am probably still holding on to some water weight, but it was still really hard to see that number on the scale. The idea that it takes one…

Oh, three months is definitely a lot, we know! I like what you said in this post and can certainly relate to it. Thank you for reminding us that this battle is worth fighting!

I'm glad you had a great day, and thank you for the positive vibes! I like that quote as well. I didn't beat the binge yesterday; I was in such a bad mindset. However, I am feeling absolutely determined to beat this thing today! There is no way I will let my worst habits get the better of me and ruin the last three weeks…

Hang in there! I had a pretty awful day yesterday myself. I understand the anger you feel; you can get strength out of that, and use it to make today a great day. I wish I could get riled up about my binge yesterday. As it stands, I sort of feel like giving up, which is completely absurd and irrational.

Two weeks without a binge is great! Congrats, Pudding :)

Me: 3 The Binge: 1 Had a pretty bad binge yesterday. Felt incredibly stupid when I went to bed last night, and not feeling so hot right now.
