Just finished a binge

I was on a pretty good streak, too.

I'm having a hard time, because I'm recovering from surgery, and therefore my lifestyle is incredibly sedentary. But the last couple of days I've been pretty miserable and, as usual, used food to literally swallow it all down.

One of my co-workers brought in doughnuts, and I've had probably three so far today, and I had a nice big order of Pad Thai for dinner. Last night I indulged in several heaping teaspoons of peanut butter and two of my (delicious) homemade chocolate chip cookies.

I know it's not that much on the binging scale, but considering how much I just sit around, it really makes a difference.

I'm just griping... thanks for giving me a forum to vent.

Get back on your "good streak" tomorrow and you'll be fine.  Just think of how many miles you have to walk/run to burn 3 doughnuts and it may serve as some incentive to only eat one! :)  It usually works for me.  Vent away today and do something about it tomorrow.  I "indulge" often, but most of the time I'm still eating only maintenance cals and I get back to my deficits asap.  I'm down 25 pounds since January and am almost at my goal.  Exercise helps me more than anything. 

mmmmmmmmmmm donutssss....

I know how you feel. I am also recovering from surgery (hip). I am stuck in the house for 6 weeks at the minimum. I am trying so hard not to over eat. Husband will not let me smoke. I can not even drive. So, I feel you pain.

Venting

i just binged a little while ago :(

ugh!

jaguars1- I'm recovering from hip surgery, as well. Mind if I ask what your's was for?

I wasn't stuck in the house, per say, but I could do so little that most of the time I didn't want to move from my bed, anyway. I think it's so much easier to eat healthy, and generally be healthy, when you're able to do everything you can to be healthy. I don't like half-assing it.

Seems like posting here is the next step for people right after binging.

But it kind of gets old to me... everybody has excuses or reasons. Binging = eating food you know you shouldn't be eating if you want to reach your goals.

I felt like crap today; social anxiety still ruining my life, almost got in an accident because I was nervous while driving, haven't even tried to apply for a job, looming college orientation, and general displeasure with my living arrangement. My sister offered me some pizza from dominos. I really wanted to eat that pizza, but I turned her down, refilled my half gallon of water, did my cardio, and ate my spinach and eggs. I still feel like crap, but I made progress today towards completing one goal. And that's all you can do. Everyone knows they shouldn't be binging while they're binging.
