almost binged tonight - thought about it and then thought about having to fess up here and decided it wasn't worth it - since i don't want to do it really and i don't want to have done it when i report in tomorrow. moving stressors, long day, tired, a little mis-communication with the hubby and a wild kid. just got a glass of fizzy lemony water with loads of ice. if i feel hungry after that i'm breaking into the watermelon. i can always stand to eat more fruit.

Last night went well....managed to have a snack without going overboard.

Congrats Debbie on holding off.....this thread with accountability certainly helps me stay in control. I feel like I gotta answer to more than just myself.....which is the best part of the binge secret being out there.....I can't hide it anymore!

Hoping for a great day today....with some extra exercise in it!

How is everyone else doing???

I did it!!!!! Woo hoo! The lemony drink was it!!!!

Sarah, great news on no binge. Is it your third day? I am sure the weight will go down fast now with no binges.

Debbie, the power of accountability and honesty. It's working.

Tina, how are you?

Dara, welcome back. Sorry for your struggles with weight but I am glad you are seeing a specialist. Something is off... you need to check it.

No binge for me and I am going to a boot camp in a few minutes. But my weight is still climbing up - what's up with that? 155.5 pounds. I will wait one more day before I change my ticker because it could be the aftermath of flying so much and not sleeping.

Ok, yesterday went a little better... I ate dinner... no snack after or anything, so I was pretty happy with that. I helped my mom last night and it was sweltering (sp?) hot in her house... and I was up on a ladder working on her ceiling fan... I'm sure it was hotter up there so when I got home, I just laid in bed with the fan on HI and played a little cell-phone poker, then went to sleep at a reasonable hour.

Today's plan... eat 3 "normal" meals, no binges (goes without saying ) If real physical hunger attacks between meals... 12 almonds and another water and if it's after dinner, a Fiber One bar and another water. Also, today my son has PT for his back (blog from mid June...) and I exercise there... benefit of going to a private PT... they have good liability insurance and let me play with all their toys! So, I'll get some exercise too.

Tatiana: Maybe your gain is muscle? I know you've been training.

Sarah:

Debbie: LOL, the fizzy water always helps me too... I buy plain (I try to steer clear of artificial sweetners and stuff) and put in a squeeze of lime... I love lime!

Dara: Wow, you are going through a rough spot! Hopefully, with a couple days to regroup, your bod will regulate the flight, extra salt, and hormones... I'll be thinking about you!

Jennifer: hehe, I sent you a PM before I read your post... Welcome, you're a brave chic to post here... good for you... a step toward moving forward after a hard childhood... I can relate with the mixed messages... after being fed for one meal the equivalent of what I cook for myself and 2 teenage boys, I heard that I was fat... well, duh... here's an idea, quit making me eat!

I can remember so many nights before I learned the "secrets" to getting all that food down, I'd be sitting at the table for hours, then wake up in my bed... I guess when I fell asleep face first in the food, I was allowed to leave the table... it's a wonder that I didn't just wake up at the table and still have to finish! But as social pressures (I wanted to go play with my friends) mounted, I learned to get it all down, and it's such a slow process unlearning that... still, no matter how much is on my plate (or what it is... even something I don't like) I can eat it all... I serve myself small portions... I can go back for more, but if I start with a bigger portion, I won't stop when I get "not hungry".

Well... here's to day 3!

My thoughts exactly...I think you may be putting on some muscle Tatiana~~!!!!
Ya 3rd night no binge for me...I am going for a record here! Tonight I am not even having a snack at night because I already know I will be at the top of my calorie intake after supper. A snack may trigger something because it has been hard but even with the struggle I am managing!

Congrats Debbie on a binge free night! I may try that lemon water...green tea has been helping me so far....keep me in your thoughts tonight.....I will be alone....actually not....i have you guys so I'll be back if it gets back...thanks for the reminder Tatiana about what I had said about doing just that!!

Thanks everyone for the support! Way to go Sarah and Tina on last night. Tatiana thanks for getting and keeping this going! Your body may be readjusting - check in with your trainer and see what she thinks, yes?
Jennifer - glad you are here, too!

Today may be tougher - bad sleep last night and already eating more than i like. Tonight was going to be an ok to eat and watch tv night - now i will place a clear limit on that so it doesn't lead to a binge. One bowl of popcorn plus loads of water with either lime, lemon or strawberries I did make a good choice about lunch - i chose to come home and eat rather than go to an Indian Buffet - sanctioned binging and my favorite food! I've been wanting it for awhile but am waiting til we move and need to eat out a few days. Also, knew taht the mood wouldn't fit - i'd be eating too too much!

thanks again all!

So far so good today for me . . .although my worst time is evening. I've had a slimfast, a sandwhich and dinner and lots of water. Hopefully that will be all for today, except maybe a piece of fruit later or something. *sigh* wish me luck

Hey all! I hope everyone had a good night! I managed pretty good. Did have a snack but managed to stay within calorie range.
My biggest problem this week has been squeezing in the exercise....ugh! I move ALL day long so I haven't been sitting around but I mean cardio etc....I should be able to get a DVD in this afternoon...supposed to storm here so maybe set the girls up with a craft...put the boys to bed and get at er!!
4 nights no binge.....going for 5 tonight!!

Sarah:

sorry I didn't leave you your message... I was just scrolling throught the posts to get to the new one and read mine... sarah: blank.... lol, I guess I should proofread! I'll catch you today!
