OMG... this time I gained 12 lbs on my latest "binge". What is wrong with me? Why can't I learn moderation...why does it take ridiculous weight gains to make me get back on track! I think one issue is that when I'm bingeing, I don't weigh (I think it's called "denial"). Gotta keep weighing every week...aggghhhhh!
maybe its time to make mini goal rewards? Don't get a pedicure for the next 5 lbs.... 15 get a facial? I agree you have to weigh in rather you like it or not. It is the only thing that keeps me on track..... I have not been able to maintain on my own.... that weekly way in in a reality check for me did I do good or do I have to try hearder. Can you team up with somone to help you stop the "binge"..... I have to ask my boyfriend when we go to the extra yummy place to seriosuly just stop me by asking you full yet? It at first made me feel strage but now it makes me think oh I am. Good luck you got this just keep moving forward every pound gain back is a lesson learned an opportunity to revaluate what you are going . I know you got it in you just keep moving forward - BooEve123

I definitely agree that I need to set mini goals... and instead of weekly weigh-ins, I'm going to start weighing EVERY day. I know that the "experts" don't suggest that, but I think my brain needs to see the number! - msdizmaui 518.9 #223 1:17PM
At least you cought yourself before you gained back 50 pounds. I know the "don't want to weigh in because I'm not going to like the number" mentality. Get it together before you've gained back 50 pounds! You can do it!!! - Mrs.mouse

I know, right... I was thinking the same thing. If my binges go on for 2 or so months, the 50 lbs would be right back! Scary! - msdizmaui 518.9 #223 1:18PM
I know the feeling! I've been under stress and working a lot that I binge too! We can do it! - NingyMouse

:( Sorry to hear it MDM... I think maybe the hardest thing about that is the mental berating we give ourselves when we feel like we've taken such a step backwards. Being the pessimist I am, I have to constantly remind myself positive thoughts yield positive results; so, next time just tell yourself it is good that you stopped the cycle, and you are worth all the effort you put into your health! - Duchess73
