tatiana - how'd you do with the cake? it is so true that the thoughts come first and the feelings usually too. it is wonderful how you really were honest with yourself and us about the cake. the binges do have a way of trying to make a comeback - but you are strong - let us know how you did!

as for me, i am moving towards kicking the binges out again. my strategy this past year was to change the night time eating habits little by little. so again i will do that. tonight and tomorrow night i will only eat veggies if i find myself hungry at night. i will GO TO SLEEP with my husband - when i stay up late on my own i will eat. when i don't sleep i then eat more that night and the next day as i ward of fatigue. then i will give myself a break on Wed and Thurs nights and eat whatever snacks feel ok those nights. I will still work towards going to sleep early. I am not making that a have to for those 2 nights. Friday night will be crazy as it's the night before we move - i'm sure i
ll be up late packing - not time to binge.

as for daytimes, that hasn't been quite as bad or as binge-y. i've been busy during my son's naps. i will watch what and how much i eat though as i am back into the binge way of eating - eating past full, eating quickly, and eating whatever i damn well please ( i say it like that because it comes with an entitled, rebellious voice).

i am going to start slowly and little by little. Big grand changes just don't work for me - sets me up to fail.

i'll check here a but more this week until the move - not sure how long til the computer will be up again after that.
