For me it is about not letting the little nibbles in as that is where the blown it attitude creeps in and although it has been a while since I had a full blown all out binge, Xmas has had it's testing times and I am totally seeing and HATNG how much my emotions are linked to my screwed up food attitude.......
Thanks Kellie for thinking up this..... another great way to support one another to our ultimate health! Physically but mentally too. OL ladies rock!!!

There's nothing wrong with having a nibble here and there...its fun tasting things! They key is knowing that its OK to nibble...it doesnt mean you've 'screwed up' and you should just binge, that is just another example of the 'all or nothing' thinking that many of us have. I know that is something I struggle with...if you can have a nibble or even a peice of something WITHOUT it turning in a binge, then that is HUGE success!!!!

Can we PLEASE keep this challenge going for another week? I am new to this site but struggled a lot in the past with anorexia/bulimia. I am now at home with a new born and my husband is back at work which means I am also home alone by myself with the refrigerator. Though we have all clean foods here, it is still tempting to binge on peanut butter and flax bread. I haven't had a full out binge since November but the temptation is always there and I still over eat around lunch time.

Hi! I am so happy you are here!!!
We all understand these struggles as we all have gone or go thru them in some capacity...
You will find the group here to be SO supportive especially in this time that you are getting zero sleep and tired and stressed (good stress, but stress nonetheless)
Start a journal and keep posting. There is ALWAYS someone listening and ready to support or advise or just listen (read)!
Like I mentioned before, set out an eating plan, post it and we can help. Make sure you are eating protein at every meal and frequently enough to not let those hungries creep up on you!!
Can't wait to follow along on this journey with you!!
Jaclyn- Fit Mom's right sometimes it's just pent-up frustration that causes you to lose it and take it out on the refridgerator! I find writing stuff out tends to get rid of the aggro or upset without having to view my keypad through the bottom of my peanut butter jar...just vent on here works wonders
I have my refeed this weekend.
I am so excited but at the same time totally scared.
My biggest trigger for binging is dieting. Dieting makes think that I will never taste good food ever again and I have to stuff it all in my face until I litterally feel like throwning up.
I keep saying that this time is going to be different...and then in the throws of brownie passion I polish off the whole tray plus half a tub of ice cream..and then peanutbutter out of the jar...ugghh...disgusting and not good for me...but it is like I shut off my brain during the eating.
And it feels sooooo good while I am doing it, that I never stop myself. But as soon as the last bite has been taken I am riddled with guilt.
I deserve this refeed. I am taking this refeed. I am allowed 4500 calories...eeek! I will not go over that.
Even with that big number, I am scared.
That is a big re-feed...I'm jealous Do you keep your refeeds clean? I think if you get 4500 CLEAN cals then it will be easier to avoid binging...Even though I can/have binged on clean foods
That is a significant amount of calories to work with, I think you will be successful!

it is huge.
But in the past when I eat junk food all day I log 4500 plus some.
So my goal is to keep it pretty clean. I do want to have some chocolate and the bf and I are either going to get cheesy pasta for dinner or pizza. But, it's not the one or two treats I am worried about, it's the not being able to stop.
I am going to try to cut it off before it even starts, and buy ONE brownie...not 2 boxes of them. And nothing but clean carbs...no junk in the house!
