Thanks, NoSnacker, Amy, and Sinnie! I'll definitely take into account your advice and book recc! I had a GREEN day yesterday and oh it felt so good. It's amazing even in the morning (now) how much better I feel and just clear-headed. Nothing too different yesterday other than no bingey foods in the ...

Well 2 things: 1) SO proud you "got the hell out of the kitchen"! Hooray! You could have kept on keeping on and have felt worse. 2) I totally get the being annoyed about feeling better after eating. What is that!? It de-stresses me, takes my mind off things, and calms my nerves. I guess we need to l...

I could have written that post myself. I so often let a little fail trail into a crazy weekend. And the staying up all night due to discomfort/disappointment is all too familiar. I think it helps to see things as a small incident and not as a huge fail. If we think too much into the weekend or into ...

Hi! I'm intrigued by your negative qualification and have read thru a few posts! Thanks for the inspiration in keeping your fails small and just that...moving right along.

I'm so lucky to have found such great support. I was thinking today while at the park with some friends how they take a nibb...

Hi motorin! I really enjoyed reading your last few posts re: bingeing and your mods. I relate so much to isolation eating. Just yesterday I found myself taking job in escaping and sneaking food. That is my biggest weakness. I can eat with others and not have the same affect as my binges. Since I don...

I'm just confused as to why I couldn't be satisfied yesterday! Though my tummy was full! Yes having c...

I'm going N compliant because, really, every day has seemed like an "S" lately and that's no good. T...

I don't know what came over me today. I felt insatiable and just so completely unsatisfied. I ate an insane amount. Not so much early in the day, but so much later. After I had company over, they took home the ice cream, but I was jone-sing for something to munch on while I did the dishes. It's like...

Great wisdom and insight, again, oolala. Welcome back we have missed you! I think your S days' rules are very reasonable. I know I do better with a little structure. As long as there are no actual rules as to WHAT I can eat, specifically, just quantity, I think I would feel lots less deprived. Good ...

And unlike you, I have a hard time listening to my body and knowing that hungry/full switch. Something to work on, for sure. I thi...

Thanks Sinnie & Amy. True friends indeed! Just had to report on a "success" for me! I'm not really taking "S" days, just doing N days and a possible treat here and there if it comes my way. So today, I had usual oats, went on a long run, a family bike ride, and to my son's tee ball game. Afterwards,...

Great post, oolala. I concur completely. I would like to think it will just get easier for me and often not in my life, but will have to be hyper-aware of my triggers. I like how looking back to last year, 5 years ago, 10 years ago, if you are better off, that is considered the right road. In this b...

Good day. Definitely a "failure" with No-S standards but I kind of need to do what's best for me. I'm not straying from No-S, but simply remembering what I know to be true for myself. My happiest times with food and eating were when I identified all "ED" behaviors, and personified "ED" and kicked HI...

I agree Sinnie. I understand how it is to want their help, but also to push them away once they help. Maybe it would help to see someone? I know I have seen my fair share of people, but that was over 10 years ago. I don't think it would hurt me to re-visit that. I too stand in awe of the WHY. Why la...
