Me: 21 Binge: 3 Those 3 days really rocked me hard, and I hate feeling like I ruined weeks of hard work. I'm not sure if it's helping or hurting to try to do fasting damage control either, but I'm not sure I really care. Past 2 days I've been under control (barely, and only because I feel like a walking water balloon), but…

Well, I had a good run... I'm still pretty proud of making it as long as I did. Now I just have to strive for a little longer next time. Things kind of fell apart this weekend in slow motion, but I'm already working on getting back on my feet. I won't say for tonight yet, but for the past few days that I haven't: As of…

Had to make an emergency run to the store for sugarfree gum but I managed to barely win this one >_< It's getting harder and harder, don't know how much longer I can last but I'm trying really hard! Me: 17 Binge: 0 This weekend is going to be brutal

Me: 15 Binge: 0 Halfway there!! So pumped, I really want to make it the whole month >_< Today was a super big risk day too. I was stuck in the lab from 10:15am until 4:45pm and barely got to eat. Started getting some very specific cravings. It was awful all the way until I got home but amazingly I got an email saying I was…

When I break 140 (hopefully in the next couple weeks!) I'm getting a sexy red/black lace dress that I can rock in Vegas this summer :3

Me: 14 Binge: 0 Today was an IF day, which it turns out makes it a lot easier to avoid the monster

Me: 12 Binge: 0 another close call at sister's birthday party. Managed to NOT eat any of her cake/ice cream and came home to a 60 calorie sugar-free fudge pop instead (which I thoroughly enjoyed) and a mug of peppermint tea. Drinking a glass of wine with dinner actually made it harder to resist the temptation, but I…

I'm hoping that it will get easier as it was promised to in the book. Maybe this will help me gain better control over my cravings too? I don't know, but I guess it's a good sign that I was able to resist! I'm going to keep trying and if it backfires then I'll know it's not for me. Honestly, I just want to drop this weight…

Since I've been seeing and hearing a lot of good things lately, I decided to try the intermittent fasting thing today. Fasted for 24 hours from dinner last night to dinner tonight and then had a bigger dinner than usual (500 calories). Tomorrow I'll eat fairly normally hopefully. It was definitely an interesting…

Forgot to check in last night again, had to clean the house top to bottom because we have a showing today. Hoping the house sells, that would be one less stress on me and one less reason to turn to bingeing! Luckily, I was far too busy cleaning to even think about food. I'll include today because all my meals are already…

Didn't report in yesterday, but it was alright Me: 8 Binge: 0 so far It's feeling imminent though... must stop the looming bingemonster >_<

Congrats to everyone who managed to conquer a Saturday! If you did quite pull out the win, no biggie, the weekend has 2 potential days for success :3 Me: 6 Binge: 0 Nervous for tomorrow though, because I weigh in on Monday and looming weigh-ins stress me out.

I love this. There need to be more parents like you today

I understand all too well the issues with medication. I also swore off them in high school, they made me feel foggy and light-headed and empty, and I'd rather feel full than empty. I'm starting therapy next week, myself, after years of trying to find a good counselor and failing and then more years of refusing to try…

Still strong and bolstered from the support yesterday, and tomorrow is going to be a good day! Me: 5 Binge: 0

Excellent! I too am very good at drinking water. I feel that I get dehydrated easily otherwise, especially since I love my diuretics (coffee and tea). I also make sure that I eat a good breakfast every morning :) This is very easy for me since 99 times out of 100 I wake up ravenous, so luckily I have those 2 things down…

It was a tough one, and thank you to everyone who was there to help me fight through. I'm very proud and happy to say: Me: 4 Binge: 0 :D

Thank you so so much everyone. Not even joking, your replies brought tears to my eyes and I NEVER cry. I think I made it past the choke-point and I should be ok for tonight :) You guys are seriously wonderful. I'm so glad I found you! Thank you again! <3<3 Love you guys and I'll be here for you all the next time you may…

Ordinarily I'd absolutely agree with you and I'd recommend the same exact thing to anyone else, but I'm scared to let myself have even that much... I'm a woman of extremes. I have an incredibly hard time moderating myself and I'm worried that if I let myself have just one treat that I'll go off on a tangent (it's happened…

4/3 Michelle: 3 Binge: 0

what really helps me sometimes is to chew on sugar-free gum. Trident and Orbit have some pretty yummy flavors... it's not quite the same but it can give you something to chew for a long time.

I'm also new and I'm glad you've had the courage to tell your story. I've done the exact same thing and it's great to know you're not alone, even if it is embarrassing and something you desperately want to change. The hardest part for me is that I still battle with feeling disgusting and uncomfortable afterwards and…

I'm new and I really want to hold out at least until mid-June when I'm going on a trip to Vegas with friends. I was slipping all through Feb and March and it's time to get control back. I'd like to learn to stop altogether, but I'm not going to worry about that just now. Baby steps! I'll start with April :) 4/2/13 Me: 2…

I'm moving as well! All the best to you, you can definitely do it :D Thanks for the support!

I feel your pain! I'm just about to leave college and I want to leave this extra weight behind so I can start fresh! Add me up :)

Cucumber chicken whole wheat pasta with carrots, scallions, celery, broccoli and tomatoes with a homemade avocado cream sauce Nom!

Thank you, and that might be part of it, you're right
