That is a tuff one. I work at a college. For me it is really cheap to eat at the cafeterias on campus. They are basically all you can eat, like a buffet. There are lots of healthy options, but lots of junk, too. I am trying to overcome gluttoney and overeating, too. I always have to remind myself that I will be healtier and feel better if I eat healthy and moderate portions. When I don't eat right I feel guilty and I feel like a bloated whale. But my flesh wants the junk. For me it is a daily battle. Some day I hope to have conquered it. For now, it is all one choice at a time. Mindless eating is very detrimental. I have a healthy-eating buddy to join me for lunch, so that helps. We are accountability partners. My biggest problem is at night with TV/downtime snacking and avoiding the dessert at the cafeterias.
Keep up the good fight so you won't be living in regret later with excess pounds to lose and health issues. |

| Day one. Yesterday was a peanuts and cookie day. Still I weighed in with one pound lost. Weight is 205 lbs. I was feeling really fat, but when I put my jeans on they were comfy. So, that is a good sign. Been exercising pretty hard, so hopefully some inches are being lost, too. | |||

I have a hard time finding the time to keep up with counting calories, too. I keep telling myself to go for the fruits and veggies to fill on, and have only a moderate serving of protein or starches and fruit or nuts for a snack. I think it would really work, if I could make myself do it.
I have had a good food day today. Lunch was a bit large. My goal to day is to have my pre-workout snack and then not eat after I exercise. I, too, have a habit of eating when I get home, even if I am not hungry. It usually leads to a binge, too. |

Welcome estratt :-)
Me. Right. Like I can have peanut butter in the house. Puh-lease! So, looks like I will be throwing away 3/4 jar of peanut butter, after eating 1/4 of it with oats. Blew my calorie count out of the water. :-/ |

| I am back on day one, too. I didn't binge, but I did over eat. I think I will do better next week. The campus organic cafeteria will be open and I will get much more vegetables in my diet. Our garden has kinda played out, too. I usually have a lot of crunchy fresh veggies around. HOWEVER, it is Friday. I get to go home to the country today. I will check with hubby to see what he got from the garden. If I need to, I will go by the store and get some stuff. | |||

| Where is everybody? I am back on day one of no binging. Yesterday I was anxious all day long. Today is better. So, If I made it three days in a row once, I can do it again and for mor days. I joined the health club today. It is right across from where I work. I am going over there when I get off. I may slip in there on lunch hours and stuff too. We will see. Wish I were more excited. I am a bit self-conscioius ata 45 years old and 208 lbs. But getting started during before all the college students are here next week might get me over it. I just need to get in a groove or something. Hubby says I need to get out of the apartment sometimes for my sanity. I agree. So, I hope this helps. It is the university health club. I work at a college campus. | |||

| Today is day one of no binging or overeating. Yesterday was a constant battle and I ended up at almost 3000 calories. My focus needst to be on the three days of success and knowing that I can do it again. So, again, I am on day one. :-) | |||

I am overeating...grazing. I have already reached 2200 calories. Did not resist the vending machine. Usuall nuts will appease. Not this time.
I am going to play bingo tonight and planned ahead of time for a snack. No dinner planned, because I did plan on the snack at the bingo hall. Soooo, I figure I might tack on another 500 for a home-made slice of cake. I have been very anxious today. I bet I chewed a whole pack of gum on top of all the calories I have had. Probably PMS. |

Binge eating for me is eating uncontrollably. It is definitely like a drug where I just zone out and eat. I can binge on anything. I have binged on carrots and celery before. I just eat and eat until I feel bad or everything is gone. Like I said, I can binge on anything, and have, too. Even on things I wouldn't normally like or want. Last week's binge was a box of raisin bran. The one before that was the rest of of a loaf of bread (six slices) with butter. I only stopped because I ran out. Sometimes I go from one thing to another. I might start with popcorn, then pull out jar of peanut butter an polish it off, then have oats, etc. I might eat a whole box of protein bars. Sometimes not in one sitting. At holidays I might eat a whole pie or cake in a day, etc. I know that I can't keep sweets, breads, cereal or peanut butter in the house. I have had so many binges on so many different types of food.
Big triggers for me are being tired or overly hungry or moody (any mood). |

Hi helpless. It's a relief when the "stuff" is gone, isn't it. Usually, it is because I have polished it off, tho. :-|
A couple of times I have thrown stuff out. It is hard to do, tho. I have to choose the worst of two evils. For me, I think throwing it out is best, because in the heat of the moment, I am not going to think clearly about giving it a way. I am on day five of no binging. I did eat too much at dinner tho and was so uncomfortable afterwards. Lots of times after I overeat or binge I get very emotional and weepy. Had a quick cry last night. This is PMS week. So, if I hang in there it will only be by God's grace. But for me, anyday without binging and overeating is a gift from God. I have no strength outside of Him. |

When in denial, I like to think I am maintaining. Why maintian at 65lbs over, tho? Cuz, I get lazy and don't want to deny myself and I want to indulge my every emotion or lust for food. LOL!!! (It's good to laugh at yourself.) I dream of the day I am maintianing at 140 lbs rather than 208 lbs.
CC calculator recommends 1250 cals for me. No way. I am doing 1800 instead, since I maintain ata 2200. Goal may be slower getting here, but there will be less chance I will binge. |

How's everybody doing? Please post, good day or bad. We are in this together. This is one place we can be open about our eating challenges and victories.
I didn't binge last night, but could have. I let myself get way too hungry by dinner by skipping my snack. I almost did, but managed to snap out of a mindless beginning to put a halt to it. WHEW!!! |
