Nov. 11, 2018 Me: 8 The Binge: 3 DBF: 6, YEASS!!

November 2018 Me: 2 The binge: 3 DBF: 0 I'm going to kick the binge's a** today. Binge 🤛

Thanks y'all. I've been in a horrible cycle the last week. I'll eat within my cals all day and then freak out at night. I can't seem to stop. Grrrr.

I'm starting this today after having consecutively worse binges the last several days, culminating in eating like an animal at a Halloween party yesterday. My stomach is paying for it today. Ouch. Glad it's Nov. 1 and I can start over. Nov. 2018 Me: 0 The binge: 0 DBF: 0

One of the best quotes I ever heard, that keeps me going and maybe will help you too, is "there are 365 days in a year to be awesome. Even if you don't do so well on 65 of those days, that's still 300 days of being awesome." Put things into perspective for me because I have a tendency to be all or nothing.

You can do this girl!!

Sorry I just saw this. Lol. Wow! See, you are a fighter. I saw your progress pics and you have done so well! I applaud you! I probably have half the stuff you mentioned just never got officially diagnosed. It sucks for sure. Hoping that my new meds will even me out a little and I'll be able to focus on my health better.…

Forcing myself to start logging every single thing (honestly) during a binge (or writing it all down and logging it later) has helped me reign it in. Hard to do sometimes. Somehow me actually seeing it in writing triggers something in my brain. One time I logged around 10,000 calories in one day. Yikes. Don't know if you…

Thank you! I'll check that book out. Need all the help I can get. Think I'm going to reread Women, Food, and God again also. Amazing book if you haven't read it.

Yup for sure water weight. Probably too much sodium

Hey all. Saw your posts and had to butt my way in here lol. This is like my 500th time starting over and could really use some new friends. Haven't been seriously on here in a couple years and all the friends I used to have are long gone. The groups I was a member of are dead. I really want this to be my last time. I'm…

You can add me as a friend. I definitely could use the mutual support. This group seems awfully quiet.

A baked apple with cinnamon. Hell yes!

Mine started when I was little. Being made to eat everything on my plate even when I wasn't hungry. I was pretty thin though until second grade when I got my tonsils out. Third grade, I got a little chubby and my mother panicked. Put me on diet shakes (at age 8), forced me to do a children's exercise tape, restricted what…

I'm in St. Paul, Minnesota. It's like 2 degrees outside. Sigh.

Oh so many! The one that sticks out in my mind is AI. My husband still talks about the 20 bucks we wasted on it, what, 10 years ago?

By the way, it takes like 3500 calories to gain 1 pound.

Move on.

Add me! Add me! I'm finally back on track and could use more friends. :smile:

Chia seeds. Hurl!!! Forgot to mention cilantro and olives. Gagging just thinking about it.

I don't think you should feel the need to apologize either. She was just asking for it! I just had this scenario in my head that could be more effective than snapping, though, and no angry words would have to be said. Next time, after saying no the first and second and third times, or whatever, finally sigh and say "okay,…

Ugh. I just baked a pie, specifically so I could gnaw on it. I'd been doing FABULOUS with my eating up til today and not even feeling hungry or craving anything or even thinking about sugar. Then BAM. Today I was like a wild animal and I had no treats in the house so I actually scounged together the ingredients and BAKED A…

This convo is every man's dream. Hahahaha.

Hi! I had no intention on joining a group or anything else, but it's time for me to stop this nonsense. My name is Vanessa. I'm 38, married, and the mother of 3. I've had weight issues my whole life and then in 2012, I discovered MFP! I did great for about 6 months, lost 40 pounds, started running, got in GREAT shape! I…

Ooo! I have a goal! GET TO THE GYM! Do at least 35 minutes of cardio. I drove to the gym yesterday and my husband and I sat and drank coffee and I ended up running out of time to work out. The ultimate in procrastination. Jeez.

I'll join! I was on MFP back in 2012 and lost 40 pounds, started lifting weights, developed fibromyalgia from it, started feeling sorry for myself, and gained it all back. I've been adrift for over a year now. Time to knock this crap off! I ain't getting any younger here. :)

If I was even remotely interested in women, I totally would! You look like snow white. :)

Thank you so much for the encouragement Roda. :)
