March 14: Me: 11, Binge: 3 Thinking the time change and resulting trouble sleeping may have contributed to the 3/13 binge- I'm very much a creature of routine and I felt "off" all day Sunday. Down 7 lbs from 2/14 thanks to appetite suppressants + diet + exercise.

March 13 Me: 10, Binge: 3

March 10-12: Me: 10, Binge: 2 Had a couple large meals this weekend, but planned for them.

March 9 Me: 7 Binge: 2

March 7: Me- 6, Binge- 1 March 8: Me- 6, Binge- 2. Completely off the rails, multiple b/p cycles. My appetite suppressant isn't working, I need something that 100% kills my desire to eat.

March 6: Me: 5 Binge: 1

March 3: Me- 3, Binge- 0. March 4: Me- 4, Binge- 0. March 5: Me- 4, Binge- 1. Got really, really frustrated with the scuba class I'm taking and ended up bailing on one of the confined water sessions. I was hungry, but made some less than stellar choices for lunch out of stress/anger. Definitely some binge behavior there.

March 2 Me: 2 Binge: 0 Even with surprise shark week, I managed to have A (as in one serving only) treat to deal with cravings. Pretty damn proud of myself ATM.

Yeah, I've noticed that there are days that I do really, really well and others where I'm right back to destructive behavior. There may be some other medication-related things going on, but I don't know how closely that would be related. I'll give the 2x/day a try starting next week.

March 1 Me: 1 Binge: 0

I've been on it for nearly three weeks now, but have only done the 1/day. How bad is the switch from week 1 to week 2? I'm terrified of doubling dosages, but have not had the appetite suppressant effects I need from the week 1 dose. I am acting on fewer urges to eat compulsively, but I am still having issues with obsessing…

My doctor recently put me on Contrave for compulsive eating/binge eating and I saw an improvement nearly overnight. I'm not able to be on stimulant medications due to anxiety issues, and it's helped so far with controlling the urges- the mindfulness tricks/tracking intake/upping calories didn't help, and now it feels like…

Today I'm proud of myself for finally realizing that this is an issue that's affecting my life and that I need to get it under control. I want to be happy and healthy, not anxious to the point of panic over food and exercise on a daily basis. Today, I joined this group as a way to figure out coping strategies, learn from…

Another who quit by switching to vaping here! Pack to a pack and a half a day for 10+ years. Decided to give it a try and picked up a kit, and found I wanted to wean myself off cigarettes after about a week and a half. Had one relapse day since October 30th, 2013 (was craving them as part of PMS, WTF?) and have no desire…

I'm looking at doing one in 2015 and am really intimidated about where to start. Would love any advice/encouragement/friends!

Started vaping. Accidentally quit smoking cigarettes. I'm totally serious.

Being the child of a likely borderline or narcissistic mother (b**** was CRAZY), I'd definitely say that there was influence on my body image and how I related to food. The "junk" meals (frozen dinners, box dinners, etc.) that I cooked for myself at 8 while waiting on her to get home from work- sure, the best she could do…

Was working on 225 when I had SI joint issues. (5'7", 142 lbs.) Would like to be able to deadlift again, period- ortho doc says it's not suggested. Would like to get it into the 300 range in '14.

Knives, my cast iron pan, and a shot glass. :)
