please fellow CC's..help keep me on track starting NOW!

okay,

just binged....

i am not a binging type... its bad

i have been for 2 months now thooo and i have decided this is not who i am

tomorrow is going to be a brand new day.

please ask me tomorrow if i binged so i can tell you the truth.

i do no want to binge tomorrow

i hope i dont

wish me good luck.

and please check up on me! 

Did you eat enough today...what was your binge...if you just tell yourself that you can stop now, it will save you trouble later:)

noo thats my problem!

i binge like amlost every night and then eat very little during the day,

i know i need to stop this i just need the motivation,

thats why i joined this group!

and my binges are terrible,

like 3000 caloires,

but i also eat like 500 calories per day

this is stupid of me,

stupid stupid stupid.

tomorrow is a new day and i will post how i did tomorrow,

thanks!

Well, if you really don't like to eat much breakfast or lunch...why not work up to it?  Start out with some fruit (sweet tooth will be partially tamed), have a solid protein source (cottage cheese is a satisfying food), etc.  Portion out your food and then only take out what you need.  Sometimes, leaving the containers of what you ate out could help you see that you are more than full and prevent further bingeing...good luck:)

okay so i cant tell if im doing well or not..

but i know its an improvement

so yesterday

i had a yogurt for breakfeast

then an apple an hour later

then i didnt have time for lunch so i grabbed an apple and some veggies and a chamomille tea latte

then as i was walking by a vender i saw chocolate covered almonds and i had to have them so i did. i wuldnt consider that a binge but its still bad

then i came home had a tuna salad 

then i had a hot chocolate because i thought it would satisfy and chocolate cravings

and thne i was uplate working on an essay so i had a 90 cal granola bar

like i just dont know if thats good or not???

can you tell me if that sounds decent,?

i know its better then my 3000 nightly binges but its still not good.

mabye im improving?

I think you are on the right track! keep it up.

I eat oatmeal in the mornings for breakfast at 7am and that sticks with me until 10am then I will have a piece of fruit or a granola bar or maybe a protein bar or fiber one bar. at 11:30am I will take a brisk walk then at noon or 12:30 I eat a huge garden salad with lettuce/ spinach/ red cabbage/ cucumbers/ tomatoes/ mushrooms/ peas/ carrots/ broccoli/ avocado/ radish/ peppers all served on 1/2 slice of wheat pita bread with balsamic vinegar. at 2:30pm I take another brisk walk and at 3:30pm I will have some fruit. I go home at 4:30pm and make dinner usually deer meat or chicken or salmon with potato and a huge helping of steamed veggies. I drink nothing but water all day about 10 glasses.

it helps to plan a week a head on what you want to eat everyday and buy your groceries from that list. I try not to shop with out a list, and stick with what is on my list. My husband is good at keeping me on track with this...sometimes its a bit frustrating but once I get home I am thankful for it...so is the checkbook! ha ha

I find that the more protein I eat the less I am hungary and excersising makes me feel good about myself for the day! Fiber is also very important and I am still working on that but found that I like kashi go lean cereal with some fresh fruit once a week instead of my oatmeal.

Good luck!

Hi Suzy,

Sorry to hear you are struggling with bingeing.  The thing that struck me most about your post was that you referred to food as "bad".  Food is neither good or bad, it is a necessary part of life.  Try not to stress too much about it.  Eat when you are hungry, stop before your are full and try to eat food that is good for you.  An occasional treat may help you stay away from the binges.  You sound like a smart girl and I know you can get control of this behavior.  I will be back tomorrow to ask how you did.  Good luck.

Hi Suzy,

How did yesterday go? I do hope you are feeling fine and able to start this morning out on a good foot. Remember eat breakfast and try to plan your days meals. Keep it up we know its hard but we can do this!

The best of luck to you! ~hth

Thank you so much for checking up on me,

but the reason i haven't posted anything in a couple days is because i have been trying to avoid this. i binged again and im really upset.

i was good for two days only, then at night i felt like a binge and i just did it, 

then the next night again,

tonight i have a party and i have new fat in places i never knew i could have,

im still "small" but im not the way i use to be and im upset and scared that i will get bigger,

today i have bearly eaten anything, and i will not binge tonight, 

tomorrow i will go back to healthy eating

and you said " i seem like a smart girl" and the thing is.. i am, and i know this is bad its just so hard to control.

thanks for your help

hopefully starting tomoorw i can get back on track.

but i honestly think i gained 10 pounds in 1 week

because my binges were so big almost 5000 calories and i had probably 4 this week, plus smaller ones.

is that possible?

this HAS to stop!

Suzysmith1~ How was your party? did it all go smoothly? I hope your weekend went well and that you are getting a handle on your night binges. You can always send a message for support on those hard to deal with days! cc is great with all the support. Good luck to you on the rest of your week and I wish you all the best! ~hth

I'm going through the same thing as you.  I only started binging about 2 months ago.  I have some days where I eat a ton of food, and then days where I hardly eat to make up for it.  I consider the last two days binge days.  I have no idea how much I ate, but I ate things like whole loaves of bread, 6 muffins, chocolate chips and dried cranberries by the handful, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter and jam straight from the jars, crackers and cream cheese, apples, bananas, oranges, almonds, potatoes, and probably more.  I still feel kind of gross today, and I feel like I must have gained weight so I am afraid to face the scale.  But I am trying to eat normally, no restricting!  So far I had two cups of tea, an apple, a small bowl of yogurt with some honey, and one thin slice of homemade cinnamon raisin bread.  I wanted to go back for more bread, but I didn't.  I have to remember that I am the one in control, not the food or my emotions or anything else.  It's up to me to stop this.
