Hi, I just read some of the posts since I last wrote. I can identify with the hopelessness that I read about and I am happy to read some of the success stories too. Last Sunday, I committed to going for a walk after work (this is my prime binge time). I did it. I did not commit to anything else but I felt so good that I did not go and buy junk food. (By the way, I make sure that I have no money in my pockets when I go for a walk - it would be too tempting to stop in at the store.) I did not binge for 4 days in a row - what a success! I did eat some junk food on Friday night and last night (watching movies with my husband) but I am not going to beat myself up about it. All I have is today and I have planned my meals for today and I will do my best to eat those and nothing else. By the way, Overeaters Anonymous has also been helpful to me in the past - I learned alot of good habits there and received a lot of support - just a thought. Have a great binge-free day! Chantal

Hi, I'm still trying to find my way around this website and so I hope that I am posting this message in the right place... Anyway, as I indicated a couple of days, I committed to going for a walk after work on Monday and I did it. It was neat because I had not committed to anything else (like not eating junk food as I had gotten myself into the habit of doing every evening after work) so it was simple. I ended up not eating for the rest of the evening. That was a HUGE success! I went for a roller blade this morning and I am feeling very tired this evening so I am putting off the walk for this evening. I have not eaten anything since supper and I am in my pyjamas so off to bed I go. Another successful day. That's 2 in a row. Thanks for being out there and doing your best too. Your successes help me too. Chantal :)

Hi, I came to Korea in November 2006. I've recently gone back to a vegan diet (not easy at first given the mega-meat-eaters here) but I still struggle with the junk food binge after work. I work in an afternoon program so I don't get home until 9:10pm - which is a great time to go for a walk - so far, my cravings have won over and I have not gone for a walk. I have made a commitment to go tomorrow evening. Anyway, nice to know a fellow North American is on here too. I'm from Northern Ontario, Canada, by the way. Peace, Chantal

Hi, This is my first time here. I've read some of the posts and I can certainly identify. Over the years, my binging has progressively gotten worse. I've tried so many things. I've changed to a vegan diet a month ago (I've been vegan before but slipped back - it's a lot for health reasons but I stay motivated for ethical reasons...) Anyway, during the day I eat healthy well balanced meals but then in the evening, I binge on junk food. I'm living in Korea (and I am surrounded by mostly very slim Korean women - not like being in North America - shopping for clothes here is depressing!!!) and I work from 1pm to 9pm. I keep telling myself that I will go for a walk after work, which would also help me unwind, but I end up getting junk food at the corner store (right next door) and playing around on the computer or preparing material for school the next day. I will commit to going for a walk after work tomorrow evening, which is Monday and I will commit to coming back here and giving an update. It helps when I am accountable to someone. Talk to you tomorrow. Chantal
