i binged last night again. i went to the engagement party and woof. it is a new day. i have a birthday dinner at my fams tonight (where i usually get out of control) i am going to try and prepare myself. this is a really hard time because i am trying to stop counting calories and im not sure sometimes if i am overeating or its a straight up bingefest. im going to gain weight if this behavior continues. i decided to give up binging for lent and replace it with prayer and meditation when i feel like doing it....maybe that will help. anywho. hope everyone has a good binge free day! lets be strong! ~Allison
Motivation	Is anyone giving up something for Lent???	Feb 10 2008 13:50 (UTC)	14
i was thinking of giving up an unhealthy food or something and then my preacher was saying that that is good and all but dont you think that God is more than that? He said give up something like a grudge against a friend....do something nice for them everyday (just an example). like most of you said, a sacrifice...or any soul damaging behavior. i battle with binge eating. really bad here lately, and it is soul damaging for sure. so i decided to give that up and after reading this maybe i will add something to it. like when i feel like binging, reading a devotion, praying, and meditating! sounds like a good idea. it will start today since i forgot i was giving it up over the weekend and ate like a cow :p so thanks you guys for the suggestions! Happy Lent!

i love this topic! this is my weakness and its very shameful. but im glad im not alone. i am feeling very down right now. i ALWAYS binge on the weekends, i eat very healthy during the week (but i dont deprive myself) and i always exercise. i did really good yesterday, which was friday. and i swore that i was going to do good the rest of the weekend. WELL that didnt happen. i went to my mom's house (i always binge when i go over there) and well, binged. i tried so hard. but its like i go into this fog and i cant see clearly. i can feel it coming over me. i tell myself, just a few crackers wont hurt, and then its over. we baked a cake, i ate the batter, the icing, cookies, icecream, pretzels...you name it, i ate it. i eat myself sick. im such a weirdo, i only eat the food if my mom walks out of the kitchen or something. i wont do it in front of anybody. its just really embarrassing. and after i do it, i get in the worst mood, very depressed. i just sit there and stare off into space and do a recap of all the food i just consumed and think about what i can do about it or think about how weak i am. and then i leave. i ran a lot this morning and was eating healthy until i went over there, now im like, why did i even try? that hour of cardio doesnt help me at all now. one positive thing i can say about today is that i left my mom's house in the WORST mood and i had all intentions of coming home and continuing the binge, but on the ride home, i had to do some major positive self talk to snap myself out of the "binge mode". so now i am upstairs, venting to the computer, feeling very full, but good about stopping myself from eating my entire house, or ordering a pizza. which is very hard. after reading all of the helpful posts on here, i do not feel so alone and i feel like maybe there is hope for tomorrow. i just want to go on with my day. i messed up- but it could have been worse. and i did practice a little bit of self control. so now maybe someone can help me out with a few ideas to not binge tomorrow night when i have to go to my mom's again for my brother's birthday dinner. where there will be all of the food in the world and the cake that we baked....so tomorrow isnt looking so hot!! help!
Motivation	three day binge	Feb 03 2008 16:26 (UTC)	3
thanks, i worked hard! thats why i dont want to lose it! yes its the down time that kills me...i try to allow myself to eat more on the weekends because i do so well during the week, but its like i cant handle eating just "a little bit more" i go all out and end up ruining my hard work during the weeek! if i fall off of the wagon just a little bit, im like OH WELL! might as well eat the WHOLE cake, you know? haha its so frustrating! i wish i could just eat when im hungry, stop when im full. but i cant. i have to count calories, and that is how i know when to stop. sounds bad huh? i am also a loner. i am so busy and always around people during the week, that when the weekend comes i isolate. in my house, with food. thanks for the advice, it feels good to know that i am not alone. whenever i am going through this, i feel like i am the only one going through it!

thanks :) well I mainly do cardio- i just got a gym membership. i was running/jogging about 4 miles almost everyday, but now i do 30 min on elliptical (sp?) and 30 min running on treadmill. i work out my arms and abs like 2-3 days a week. i need to do more strength training. i feel like i am eating too much too. i dont know if i have gained any since i started adding food...i refuse to get on the scale. haha. are you eating mainly healthy foods?
Weight Loss	am i going to gain weight??	Oct 24 2007 20:03 (UTC)
yeah i am eating a lot of carbs...i love carbs. haha if they are healthy, is it bad? i used to do the unhealthy low carb fad diets so i have it in my head that all carbs are bad and i am trying to get over that! and i eat a lot of fish and i get soy protein from veggie burgers and such...
