One wk at a time: 1
I've been having a lot of trouble with binge eating lately, and I just had one of my worst ones yet tonight. I'm a bit of a lonely and sad right now, and I think that's why I'm back to binge eating after improving so much earlier this summer.
Needless to say, I'm very disappointed in myself, and really need a swift kick in the pants to get me and keep me on track. I've gained back the few lbs that a lost and then some.
So to all you folks who have trouble with binge eating, snacking at night, or just staying on track, would anyone like to join me in taking this one week at a time?
I'm going to post here before bed every night. Hopefully the dread of having to confess "I binged again" will keep me from going overboard.
Tonight I binged around 2000+ cals and I'm 145. (
I gotten that high in a year.)
First off I LOVE you name SweatpantsSundays! I could live in sweatpants!
I literally just posted a topic in the same group-emotional with a very similar story...and we are about the same weight I am as of today 140....which is a gain of 4 from emotional eating falling from my total loss of 14 which just kills me all the work I put into getting those 14 off!
Please read my post so you are up to date on my story and YES I will try and help you by checking in with you once a day and e-mail me in your week moments.....this just might help me as well!
I have not been active for over a month, becasue of my depression and why today I finally got the nerve to come back to calorie count? I think all things happen for a reason and maybe we were to connect to help each other threw this.....HANG IN THERE!
If nothing else we KNOW we are not alone!
I am not very savvy, but I will try and make you a friend. And if your interested check in with me.
Hi thanks for the support! :)
I did well today and definitely ate less (protein packed, lightly dressed salad and some fruit) to "compensate" for the binge last night. I got a great workout at a soccer tournament all day too.
Currently chewing gum to ward off late night munchies.
How are you doing today?
Well so so....but now that I am going to be accountable with you this just might help. I was going to allow myself some nacho's my kids have out...but I will go have my home-made very low fat chicken soup instead!
I think this is a great idea....keep me posted!
The gum is good...I do that as well, also try sugurless hard candies....I have them in my purse at all times!
Check in soon!
Did you ward off the nachos?
I always see the sugarless candies, but I'm scared they taste funny so I never tried them. Perhaps I'll buy a pack next time I get groceries.
I did well all the way through dinner today and was craving something sweet after, so I had a small dessert (250 cals), but no binge. Hooray!
Yup, chewing gum again as I type.
Last night after I posted, I still had the munchies, and had a bowl of strawberries. But I promise not to snack or eat anymore after this post until breakfast tomorrow!
2 days down.
I like eating at night while I relax watching TV....so for me I keep a reserve on enough cal's to have light and/or sugarfree frozen yogurt or ice cream....it is my vise!
I have been successful to lose and eat this almost every night....I reserve atleat 200 cal's and watch your serving size....but it keeps me feeling deprieved.
And yes I stayed away from the Nacho's!
ooook. I binged this afternoon on ...anything and everything it seems. chicken, ice cream, skittles, ugh i felt and still feel gross.
I did some yoga and an hour of ballet.
I'm going to try to be super good tomorrow to offset today.
I'm at home living with my parents this summer, and the house is just packed with junk food! I might go grocery shopping tomorrow and buy some low-cal alternatives.
came home tonight starvingggg and promptly had one slice of bread and opened a bag of cut veggies that I am currently noshing on. =) hooray! crisis avoided.
Good job! Glad you are picking some good choices for snacking!
I have slowed down on the eating because I feel sorry for myself and I have drop a pd!
Keep it up!
grazed all day, but didnt binge!
But my workout made up for all the grazing, I think and hope. 
5 days down and only one binge. Pretty spectacular for me at this point. 2 more days until week 1 is over! Let's do it!
I'm glad you still sound VERY motivated and you are right you have to celebrate all accomplishments....so good for you on controlling the binge eating!
I am also holding on to control and making good choices! What is you form of excercise?
I am a big runner and I have a little 4 mile fun run this Sunday!
Have a great Monday!
ugh ok, I just booze binged actually... heh around 1000 Im estimating? (long island iced tea + a ton of carbs in attempt to sober up, yup, I'm a total lightweight)
I used to do long distance running, but I'm having trouble with shin splints recently.
I do the elliptical and weights when I go to the gym, I take lottts of dance classes, and do yoga on my own every once in a while, and of course run whenever I'm up for it! I love running...and dancing!
I love finding fellow runners. Good luck this weekend!
Yup, I'm definitely going to have to cut back tomorrow to make up for tonight...tsk tsk. I hope you're doing better than I am!

AH, I want in on this. I've binged straight for the last three days (my biggest binge ever, and that's saying a lot), but tomorrow (er, later today, technically) I will start anew. I am making a commitment to END MY BINGEING, or, well, we'll take it one day at a time.
So, I've planned out tomorrow, and let's hope I stick to my meal plan.
*crosses fingers*
Best of luck!
Quarter Turn - Well, you have made a great choice....not only stop binge eating, but figure out what to do instead of a binge. Get out of the kitchen and away from the TV....go out side or get on the computer and chat. Good luck I just lost the weight I gained on my last binge....and I am definitely trying to figure out how NOT to sabotage all my hard work of losing ever again.
quarterturn - welcome! Yes, stop the binge eating! I hate it, too. I find that the embarrassment and guilt factor of requiring myself to post my binge publicly keeps me in check too. (You don't have to though!) Anyways, post away, we're here to support you and kick this nasty habit.
I did well yesterday making up for Thursday night's partying. I did a tough workout and had salad for lunch and dinner.
I went out again last night, but didn't carb load afterward, so I'm okay on calories so far today.
5327 - congrats on losing that binge weight! I totally look up to you for that, I've never quite gotten there, unfortunately. Working on it! How are you doing lately? Out of curiosity, whats your calorie breakdown like per meal? I have trouble figuring out how to balance cutting back to lose weight and keeping myself satisfied so I don't binge.
Good luck everyone!
I try to stay at 400 or less per meal and eat a lot of fruits and veggies. I also have this creation of beans that I use a lot because it is protein and no fat....what it is a a version of beans and rice but I don't necessary put it over rice some times with pasta or toast. What I do is slow cook my favorite beans black and red in a crock pot for 10-12 hours with water and seasoning and little olive oil. Than I freeze it in small batches and have one pretty much all the time ready in my frig. I even put it over a salad...kinda like taco salad.
Don't forget I am reserving some cal's for my ritual of light/sugar free frozen yogurt/ice cream every night.
So typically, I am not all that hungry...it is just will power to make the right decision of what goes in my mouth.
Watch it with the partying....if that is with alcohol unfortunately it is twice as hard not to eat while you are drinking and I do think it makes it over all harder to lose weight.
You just can't have your cake and eat it too...theory.
yeah, half the time I go out and party, I come back and stuff myself with carbs :(
and the other half, I come back and just sleep it off. Regardless though, that alcohol sure brings a slew of calories.
I did pretty well for the past 2 days. I binged after lunch today though...and am going out for dinner tonight. I'm going to stop eating now, and work off as much as I can when my stomach settles.
So I guess this is starting on "week 2" and unfortunately it's a bad start for me. I'm telling myself that this is my ONLY binge of the week. No more.
