I give up. Not really, but...
I had a horrible day with the food today. I'm to the point where I don't know what to do anymore. I don't get more than a couple days binge-free then I "forget" and give in to urges to eat binge food. I just can't moderate the food at all. Moderation doesn't even cross my mind when I'm acting on urges - I find myself…

Supplements for sugar cravings?
Have any of you ever tried vitamins or supplements for sugar cravings? I've heard that chromium picolinate helps suppress them so I googled and read about different supplements for cravings. Even just a multivitamin and vitamin B...I ran out of vitamins and haven't taken them in a while and I wonder if they help. I get…

June thread
Just thought I'd start a new thread for June. And, ok, I'm bored. :smile: Where is everyone? How are you all doing? For me, so far so good, for the last few days but I'm not counting them because it seems to mess me up. Any new commitments for the new month? I've committed to completing my diary no matter what....sometimes…

Stuck in Diet Mode
So it occurred to me earlier as I was answering a friend that I should take some of my own advice. I just realized I have been stuck in this diet mentality which goes hand in hand with my BED...I think my restriction really is causing my binges and I've been having a lot lately. (I'm a bit of a slow learner sometimes.) I…

What would you do?
So tomorrow here at work we are having a pot luck lunch...I guess for Cinco de Mayo. I love pot lucks and hate them at the same time because usually for me they are an all-afternoon bingefest, as they leave the food out for hours. I was excited and going to participate but now I am re-thinking it...I may actually take the…

Want to keep eating...
Lately I want to keep eating after I'm done with my meals, specifically lunch and sometimes dinner. I don't think I'm the only one right? What do you do when this happens? Please don't say brush your teeth, lol! And I blew it today. Intense cravings for chocolate. Ugh!! They're hard to fight when your co-worker's candy jar…

Why, why, WHY???/
Hi Friends, I was doing so well for a few days but today and yesterday were really bad. I ate a bunch of cookies yesterday and feel kinda ill from eating too much chocolate today. I thought today would be fairly easy because I felt so full and gross last night from the cookie binge. Even this morning when I woke up the…

I feel guilty
When I don't work out. I work out 6-7 days a week and if I take a day off it's usually Sunday. I just cannot seem to get motivated to exercise today but I feel guilty and lazy if I don't. I can't be the only one that feels like this, or am I? I've heard and read it's good to take a day off from exercise. Right? What do you…

Is yoga a good workout?
I work out 6-7 days a week in the morning. I didn't feel that good this morning and I was sore from yesterday so I decided to do yoga, which I normally don't do. When I do do it, I feel like "it's not a real workout" and feel guilty and lazy for not working out hardcore. I barely burn any calories doing it but I did feel…

Fitness Test for Polar HRM - v02 Max
I re-took the fitness test on my polar HRM about a week ago because I hadn't taken it since I got it in January and I know I'm in better shape now. According to the manual, my results said I went from "very good" to "elite"! However, now the calorie burn is much higher than before I redid it - does v02 setting have that…

Calories Burned-Really?
How do people burn 1000+ calories in one workout? Is it a super-long, super-intense workout? Even on my hardest and longest workout days, the MOST I burn is maybe 600 (and I use a HRM). I understand the smaller you are the less you burn and I am small...but, that seems REALLY high to me. Like, does the elliptical really…
