Today I'm proud of myself for maintaining self control while eating at a restaurant that would normally lead to a binge. I made healthy choices, ate in moderation, drank only water, and came home with leftovers (which are still in the fridge three hours after returning home). I also had one serving of a treat today and…

I'm the same as you and the others who commented. It's like being an alcohokic who can't even take one sip of alcohol. I do the same and just don't eat it except in my coffee. I know if I have even one bite I am done for. What I do is have a cup if coffee in morning and afternoon along with healthy, high protein meals. The…

You are not alone. That was the biggest comfort for me when I found this board. Keep with the counseling, it's amazing that you took that huge step! Do you have a friend you could call when you feel like starting to binge?? I am going through the same thing:got weight off, binge, over-exercise, but the weight is creeping…

Sounds like a great plan! Enjoy! My two and four year olds are my loves, but they are the number one reason for my binges. I brush my teeth immediately after dinner which keeps me from bingeing 99% of the time. It feels like so much more work to rebrush, especially after wrestling two kiddos to bed!!

For me, if I can just break the cycle/habit for a day or two, it feels easier to stop the prolonged binges. http://m.allrecipes.com/recipes/84/healthy-recipes This is my favorite site for recipes. Also, one of my "tricks" is to make soup. 2 cups water with 2-3teaspoons of chicken bouillon. I add in carrots, celery, onions,…

That is wonderfully insightful and the fact that you are an introspective person who can "get real" with yourself is wonderful!! Finances and binge eating both require so many "little" steps that make up the whole. I just recently found out that binge eating is a disorder some people suffer from. I have gotten into a…

Whew!! That is awesome! Stopping is the hardest thing- great job :)

Yay!! Keep up the great work :)

Yay!! Congrats!! Keep up the great work :)

Today I'm proud of myself for stopping a binge right at the beginning. I started it with a few bites and stopped! That is a huge step for me, I usually can't stop when I'm in the moment of stress. I also stayed within my calorie allowance and even though I had a VERY stressful day, I have stayed binge free since the…

You can do it! And your cheat day (but without bingeing is a great strategy)! I am at a low right now, but I have marked my calendar and am striving for 8 weeks binge free.

I felt myself breath a sigh of relief reading your post. Just knowing someone felt the same as I do is comforting. We're in the similar boats. Great life, great hubby, young kiddos, but the urge to binge is so strong. It hits me mostly in the late afternoon when the exhaustion of being home with kiddos, their bickering,…

Thank you for you post. I just realized that my binge eating and emotional eating is a real thing. I've always used food to comfort but only in the past few months has it become a real issue. I know my triggers I just can't seem to stop. It is a comfort to know others are battling this too. I am sometimes able to pull…
