Hi Liz and Crystal!!!
I am so sorry I never responded - I had no idea there were any responses on my thread
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
Very happy to hear from both of you
I wanted to update a bit on how I'm doing. I was struggling with binging and just couldn't consistently get back on track. Then I tried something else. I call it "3 meals of anything".
It goes exactly like it sounds. I can eat whatever I want in three meals. The reason I thought of this is because once I start eating something I shouldn't, I start to binge knowing it's forbidden and can't have. So, I told myself, stop eating now, you can have this if you want in the morning. It worked!!! I'm binge free since the weekend.
Weight is 117 lbs as of this morning! Woohoo! So happy I'm finally doing something *I think* will work.
Maybe I'll track to show you what I mean:
Breakfast: eggo choc chip waffle spread w/ pb; some grapes and a ff yogurt (2 cups decaf w/ milk too).
Lunch: cheesy polenta with taco beef strips. An apple. Usually I have dessert, like a timbit and coffee, but I'm sooo busy at work and can't leave today
I'm thinking of this for dinner: barley & meatball soup, maybe a small beef taco, and steel cuts oats with chocolate chips YUM
***UPDATE: So dinner had to wait a couple hours later than normal but it didnt even bother me b/c I knew I had stuff to look forward to. I had a glass of almond milk to tide me over.
Dinner was at my mom's - delicious pork chops, potatoes and salad...and my sister made me BROWNIES. I'd be lying if I said I didn't have quite a bit! Sorta picked at it -- which usually this scenario would send me into binge fever when I got home, especially b/c I had quite a few stresses today. But I feel GREAT, honestly, better than I've felt in a long while...and no desire to binge. Did I write that?
Thanks for stopping by here ladies <3
