well this has been a good week..i have allowed myself to have what i want and have not had any binges...last night i really wanted tomato soup and grilled cheese...i knew it would bring my fat up more than I would like in a normal day but what the heck i still had it and it was wonderful and I didn't eat anything after dinner because I was so happy that I ate what I wanted. I also have been allowing myself to eat some sweets each day...I thought I would go overboard and never stop but not the case...sometimes i allow for the Healthy choice fudge bar and don't even eat one. I also notice my calories for the week have stayed in place close to 1500 and my fat, protein and carb ratio is much better...25,25,50 so I hope that I can stay on track this weekend...bf wants to go to a bbq place and the the cheesecake place with friends on Sat. I plan on eating bbq turkey breast, a few bites of a side dish and a few bites of bf's cheese cake...that way I get to eat everything...but in moderation.
hope you all have a good weekend. |

| Wow I was just reading some of the entries, welcome to all new to BA, I have not read here for a couple days, been very busy and then lost it this afternoon, really over did it, so now I am feeling terrible, weak and just angry with myself for not taking control. I had almost made it 2 weeks without a binge too, if I had made today and tomorrow. Ok I know start again, so tomorrow is day 1. I can do it with your support. Don't give up and I will try not to also. Thanks all and good luck | ||

the last week or so has been just terrible for me.. binging like every single day. bleh. it might be half the reason i'm sick now. but i've done sooo much better today!!
Fat - 18.4% Protein - 31.9% Carbohydrates - 49.8% yesssss. i'm proud. i might have a little something like jello or soy ice cream or toast before i go to sleep (i have to eat before i can sleep. don't know why.) but that's pretty much it for the day. here's hoping i'll be able to pull this off again tomorrow. and the day after that.. and the day after that... =] |

Hi to all the newcomers!! I have added y'all to my friends list.
skinnysomeday, I had to laugh, because of your 'handle.' See, my big brother has called me Skinny or Skin all my life because from a very young age I fought to control my weight. Anyway, the nickname stuck. I never mind hearing it either. ;-) cjsaygee - I wish I could claim 16.7. I am at 29! Keep up your hard work. What is you BMI goal? Sus, Thanks for 'friending' me. I am so happy you found the link, too. :-D amyhappy - I hear you, girl!!! The best place to start is to log everything. This is so you get real with yourself and realize how much you are eating. I am not yet binge-free. Now I average about one a week. But, I make myself log it, so I am honest with myself. After getting the hang of that, plan, plan, plan meals and snacks. Make them healthy and satisfying. Other priorities, good sleep and exercise!!!....I had to make myself stop the starving part and just start eating a normal balanced meal on the next mealtime. Doing these things reduced my binging from daily out-of-control episodes, to more like once a week. Plus, they are much smaller binges and usually result because I let myself get too hungry, or I am emotional, or tired or a combo of these. Also, doing these things helped me to handle my problems better. Sleep, exercise and nutrition are all great stress relievers and help me think more clearly. |

Hey! Just seeing if anyone is interested in talking about personal struggles with compulsive eating or binge eating. I have struggled with eating problems (actually anorexic in high school as a result of domestic struggles). I have basically been up and down with my eating patterns... I used to weigh 120 in 10-11th grade (I am 5'8'')...Then I went to college... finally started eating more foods and gained enough to be at a healthy weight. There was a time in the winter of my sophomore year in college that I got all the way up to 162!!! I never dreamed I would ever weight that much.. Then I kind of got back down to approximately 140-145 ish. Two years later and I am sitting at about 150. My ultimate goal is to weigh 135-140. I have tried SOO many things to lose weight..from 1000 calorie mode, reading books on emotional eating etc, to food logs, pre packing my food, food diary, low fat, sugar free foods etc. I've tried it all, but the one thing I cannot do is to control my eating... well thats just it! It's just that easy haha. Don't eat extra and you won't gain, eat even less and you will loose! Seems so easy and yet my friends, fiance, and family think it is so easy to lose weight. ARGH! haha this sucks. anyways back to my little story... I did great on calorie count at 1200 calories my first week, lost two pounds and it went great... but as everyone else always says, I fell off the wagon. I just can't seem to control what I put into my mouth. I either do really good and log every single bite I eat, and the next day I decide I'd rather take a bite of EVERYTHING in my cubbard (including a few scoops of my light ice cream). ANYWAYS definitely am dragging this out..but want to see if anyone else experiences the same situation with compulsive eating. I eat when I'm bored, happy, sad, stressed, anxious, or anything.. Maybe I should try some duct tape? No just kidding, but hopefully someone may be able to relate to me and my struggles. I work out for an hour and a half every day (running, biking, eliptical, and upper and lower body: lifting weights.) I do 45 mins of cardio each day and spend the rest of my time doing weights and ab work. I am a pro at working out but I sure cannot control my eating. All of my foods are low fat low cal, light, sugar free, ya know all that stuff. The worst time I have is when I am at work, when I have access to absolutely any food that I want.. sucks and it is hard to resist. Anyways, I would GREATLY appreciate any feed back or anyone who is interested in talking about this topic. I am looking for people who experience the same situation, and who would like to check in daily or just simply talk about how we are doing (if we had a good day, a bad day, just basically someone to talk with) Thanks for your time!! Elli |

| Hi you all! It's Friday night thank goodness. I am so tired . Went out to dinner did alot better than I thought. I LEFT FOOD AND BROUGHT HOME A BOX. For acouple hours I kept thinking it was a waste because I left food and didn't eat everything . I now realize it was okay, it was alot of food and I didn't have to eat everything. It's a new mind set I'm working on. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend , it's suppost to sleet here tomorrow. It was suppost to wait till monday for my long awaited snow day. Good night all.

so hey everyone- its friday night and i basically re-started my calorie count because i was kinda stopped for a week.. now i believe i'm ready to start again.. so its 9:50 pm and I will not be eating any more tonight. I will start fresh tomorrow morning and i hope all goes well... specially since i will be wearing a wedding dress in september :). i would like to lose 15 lbs by then... Good Luck everyone and let me know if I can help in any way....
i'm assuming most ppl just write little things in here to kind of keep themselves on track.. basically notes of how their day went. i'd really like to talk to a couple ppl frequently.. and kind of keep up with how they are doing. it is more personable to have a "cal count buddy" than to just write in this big forum. anyone interested in any sort of cal count buddy? let me know if u are! Have a great night! ~ Elli~ |

I had a good evening with family celebrating a birthday at red lobster and then braums for ice cream. I had a horrible evening eating what i should have and eating way too much of the things I shouldn't have. I went with a mind set of what I wanted....salad, grilled fish or salman, steamed vegetables, maybe one cheesy biscuit. when we got there, my two daughter in laws ordered a fancy drink, and I thought one might not hurt....and there it started. I ended up with two raspberry daquiries, two biscuits, salad, salman with pasta in creamy garlic sauce (the waiter suggested it is wonderful...and it was), and then on to braums for ice cream. They had a special two dips for the price of one. Why oh why did I get two?!!!? Summation, I ate over 4000 calories yesterday and put myself back several days. AAARRRGGHH. Sniff, pick myself back up and get going again. |

Sus, You are on the right track. Focus on your great time. Just start back on your plan with the next meal.
It's not what we do on the special occasions. It is what we do in between those special ocassions that are our downfall. If we have a healthy lifestyle on a daily basis, the special occasions won't do any harm, except for a day-after of 'food hangover.' Our body is a temple... :-) |

I know I need to get on the tred mill, I know I need to use the weights, I know but I always seem to talk myself out of it, think I will start on Monday....well I am gonna try to start on Monday, get on that tred mill for a while anyway, even 5 min will at least be a start. I will I hope I will, ok I will. | ||

| i have struggled with BED for a long time but just didn't realize it until reading this thread. tonight i ate 7 doughnuts. 7. i have this crazy compulsion that makes me feel like i have to eat all of something- like a whole carton of ice cream, a whole box of fudgesicles in order to make it go away. i can't just throw it away or stop. i am not overweight, but i know this is very unhealthy. i go through periods of binging, sometimes purging. and then i will just stop eating. it doesn't happen all the time, but when it does it makes me feel terrible and fat and a failure. | ||
