I definitely am a binge eating disorder person, with occasional periods of control, but often starving in between. Not good, not good. At least I take my vitamins.

I am in. I am learning about the brain and how it affect changing. I am counting on this information on this for help.

Hi expecta, are you going to continue this log, or do you want to close it down due to minimal participation? All is well.

Still sticky but i am making adjustments. Aparently our reticular activating system (part of our limbic system - the lymbic system controls mood) sends warnings of danger to our amygdala part of our brain if we try to change something, which it always interprets as dangerous. The limbic system thinks any change is…

Oh my gosh, here I still am in NYC probably 10 pounds heavier. I should have kept logging on. Well, now I am participating in a self help program learning how the brain resists change.

welcome to anyone new who finds this posting

Here I am now in NYC without my kitchen appliances I depend on for my special standby snacks. I am making do with celery, which doesn;t mess up there kitchen or leave crumbs anywhere. Adjustments adjustments

Well I am getting to know my 5 year old grandson. Quite a bit of stricky footwork here, bio mom, bio mom's sister, bio dad, bio dad's fiance. I am jumping through so many hoops. Any advice?

hi i like wht you wrote about fitness ruining so much progress. Excuse the spelling. hurt finger

Yes, I also feel that. I dropped off this board for a while = busy binging. Anger - what to do with it?

When that happens to me I truthfully actually was not clear how tight my clothes were in the beginning, or that I was avoiding wearing some of them.

I have friends who are fine but claim disability while camping, being on computer, organizing gardening parties, drinking, getting free housing, etc. They also spend time coaching others how to do this, and what to say. No kidding. I have worked for 50 years myself, so this gets old

ignore my binging the last two weeks.

never heard of dill pickle seasoning. I might like it.

5 days was a pretty good accomplishme nt. Doing this has really given me an objective perspective, if not a solution. THat has to be good,

Well I made it five days then crash and binge. Trying to recover now

You have the right person here to answer that question. First, freeze an ice cube tray full of skim milk. Now put 4 tablespoons of Hershey's cocoa (not the beverage kind, the old fashioned non sweet kind) in a food processor. Sprinkle with stevia or some artificial sweetener. Add 2 tablespoons of milk or leftover coffee.…

Nice logic ANN

Hi expecta. I ended up bitchy at the person, I think. So I am going to be more assertive UP FRONT, to avoid being bitchy afterwards. I tried that today, and I think that is better

Oh, I now understand. I must say I agree with you. Yes, I was talking to you - I misunderstood the context.

What is the plan for at your sister's, if there is one? Are you a closet binger or a group binger? I think there might be different strategies for each, but I am not sure. Anyway, I'll be thinkin a ya.

Made it through day 4 with only overeating macaroni and cheese, which is not a binge, but a temporary adolescent "if I see it I will eat it" regression. My husband bought it at the deli, ate a tiny big and left it open on the counter. Adolescent regression. Anyhow, it was not a binge, which is a whole different animal,…

What would get you logging again? Are you logging in your mind because you know your food intakes very well?

Just about made it through day 3. Still watching my neice, and not wanting to demonstrate immaturity out with food. I believe I shall make a green drink because tomorrow may be busy and that would be a comfort to have on hand. Then perhaps an apple snack and sleep. I did not have 4 meals today, and I do feel hungry. But, I…

Ditto at ;65. My x husband could see if he wanted, but lo and behold he is not interested so I do not anticipate hearing whatever his reaction would be. Ha!!

Today is June 13, and if I make it through that is 3 days. Kind of an up and down day with someone I hired. I don't like conflict, I am learning to be assertive rather than accepting and then regretful.

So let's see, this would be Day 2. Four meals today, but no binging. As I watch my 16 year old neice who is visiting first want "this" then "that" it makes me think maybe my binging is similar in maturity to a 16 year old being wishy washy.

cool. How nice to have a sister. And to take your daughter on her first flight!

Hi All, what is up? Anybody ?

Maybe we should get together and really figure out some solution to binge eating. Something easy as 1 2 3
