Everyone has a six pack... but you have to get rid of the flab on top and the only way to do this is do cardio

How far do you need to get your shoulders off the floor... just do what you can and soon you will be getting up farther, also think about trying other exercises such as a plank, great for your core with out causing stress on the neck.  People often pull on their necks to do sit ups instead of using their abs.  Think of placing tennis ball in between of chin and chest and keep looking up at the ceiling.

I always wonder why it is so hard.  Why can some people go through life and not obsess about food while the rest of us do?

4 days... no binge

I was close last night. I had a TERRIBLE AWFUL day at work and just wanted to eat and drink, but instead I went to bed!

Nice job allyferr! I am right there with you, I just made it past day 3.

Avl don't think of it as a binge. how many cookies did you have? 5,10,100! Lets say you had 10 cookies, chocolate and a pudding, well that was not a binge. It was more of a unhealthy meal.  I do believe that beating ourselves up over it does not help. I know it sucks and you feel gross and  upset with yourself, try remembering how you feel after a binge and maybe that will stop you next time.  You said your therapist told you to think of scenarios where you are happy and binge free, maybe thinking of how bad you feel after one will help too. Just a suggestion, I wish you luck.

avl... Thank you so much for sharing what you learned in therapy! It makes sense.

Yesterday was day one with out binging! Woo Hoo! I think that I started to because I was so low on calories, but then I stopped because I just don't want to feel this way anymore.  I don't want my stomach to hurt because i am to full, I want to loose this weight that I have gained, I want to feel good about myself again!

Good Luck today everyone!

I have been looking for a post like this and was going to make one myself.  I have recently come to terms with the fact the I have a problem with binging, so today is day one for me. I have a goal with how many calories I can have with and without exercise.  I know me and I need to see results to stick with it so this week will be low calories and then I will increase it. 

good luck to everyone, one day at a time!

Congrats sunshine! Keep it up it will only get easier!  I am joining you starting now!

I binged yesterday, did really well until i got off work, had fast food and then went home and ate cookies, and today I already ate 2700 calories by noon!  So no more today and I need to workout and then I will be good tomorrow.
