Battled Binge & Won (This Time)
Accountability: Day 6
My days normally start off without much temptation. As I have said before, I am not a “morning” person. I’m groggy and grumpy and do best when I can wake on my own terms. I don’t need a big breakfast everyday and am content with cereal. I drink LOTS of hot tea…love it.
Lunch time went ok…but soon after, it hit! I wanted FOOOOOOOOOOOD! Lots of bad stuff. I wanted comfort. I realized I was feeling antsy, angry & hurt, to mention a few. Those emotions combined with the time of day did not mix well. I had a granola bar (counted the points), then had an apple with a little peanut butter…hey, at least I got a fruit in with that one 
Still the pull to PIG OUT was overwhelming. So, I came on here until dinner and then after dinner and long boring story short, I did not binge! I absolutly could have made better food picks, but again I stayed under my points by 2.5 for the day. If I would have eaten more after dinner I feel like i would have lost control, so I just stopped there.
I don’t know about any of you guys, but there are times I could go without eating, EASIER than eating and stopping. I can also eat less food easier than eating the amount I need to. When I eat less, I dont lose. Go figure!
I did get my walking in last night and pushed a little too hard. I woke this morning with a sore ankle/foot. I think today I will stick to some floor scrubbing and try some reverse crunches.
My official weigh in is tomorrow, altho I weigh in for my team today. Its down, not quite where I wanted. Recovered what came back last week. Hoping for a little better in the morning.
Have a great Saturday…enjoy it whether it involves relaxing or fun activity

I am so happy that you didn’t binge.
I know what you are talking about with the food. I too have a hard time to read the right amount. Most at the time I don’t eat enough but then I had days where I couldn’t stop eating. Wasn’t hungry or so just couldn’t stop to chewing something. Since I started here I am doing really good, but there are definitly days where I struggle. Together we can stay strong! You just keep fighting those binges - I know you can! It’s hard but seeing the goal coming closer is what makes it a bit easier for me. You are strong!
Oh no…I just wrote a reply and it’s not here? Where did it go? Hopefully it will show up sooner than later! If not I just wrote that I know what you mean with the eating not enough or to much. Having the same problems. I am proud of you for fighting the binge and winning! You keep fighting and stay strong!
Okay I give up. Now two of my replys are gone???????????????????????? Who is stealing them? Give them back!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, you keep fighting and stay strong! You can do it!
Wow, i see the last reply shows up. Well, I hope who ever took the other two bring them back and they will show up soon
You know how I felt yesterday, it sucked~ but we made it. I agree, it’s like a snowball rolling down a hill, once you start to eat it’s out of control. WE MADE IT WE MADE IT! Hope today is better for the both of us….
Glad to hear you won the battle against the binge!
girl, I am sooo very proud of you..you did it..won a battle against a binge!!! I also understand the deal with sometimes its easier just not to touch food..I have done that too. At certain times its whatever works my girl.
Hang in there girl!! Much love-Debbie
I’m so proud of you Debbie! Great job on not binging my friend. Keep it up ok!
You did better than me! VERY proud of you!
Debbie, that’s what it’s all about, taking one day at a time, and oftentimes, one meal at a time! You said something that struck a chord with me—when you said that sometimes it’s easier to NOT EAT than to give in and lose control! Well, those aren’t your exact words, but the gist of what you said! Anyway, this reminded me of back in the day when I was a wild child—I would always know when I had reached my limit (we’re talking alcoholic beverages here), I always knew that if I had that ONE drink it would be over for me—and I would end up as drunk as a skunk and hating life the next morning!! No guilt, but a vicious hangover—know what I mean?
Well in dieting terms this equates to eating that little extra something which you know will only lead to a full on binge and like the hangover, the next day or maybe even a few hours later, you feel like poop because you did something you knew you shouldn’t do and did it anyway!!
I don’t know how I found the relation between your statement and the drinking in my youth, but I TOTALLY understood what you said!! LOL!!
Anyway, I am glad you didn’t indulge—every victory should be praised and celebrated! So, today, I congratulate you and I am doing the happy dance for you!! Kudos to you girlfriend!
I totally relate, Debbie! One of my top binge triggers is being “full”. I’ve been trying to be very careful to not get there because I don’t have as much control over the other (being tired), so I control what I can.
Proud of you for recognizing that you were just a bite from binge, and regardless that you had points left, you chose not to use that as an excuse to start something that would snowball out of control.
AWESOME MOVE, CHIC!
