Ahhh Sunday. Can't binge - family's around. Good thing. Yesterday I stayed on my maintenance calories. I was out shopping and keeping occupied, so that helped. During the week, I am home alone while my husband is at work and kids are at school. That's where the need or the feeling of the need to eat comes in. I am logging my food intake on a calorie counter site and wrting here as much as I can, I think helps some to stay accountable. I just wish I didn't have this feeling in the back of my head all the time about obessessing about food. I never had it before I dropped the weight. I didn't think about food in this way. I always struggled with my weight and body image issuess, but not in an obsessive/eating disorder sort of way. It was more the typical American female. Less stressful, I think. Though I know for sure I am healthier 50 pounds lighter and exercising 5 days a week.Happy Sunday and I am about to put a smiely on my calendar becasue it's a sunny day and it's going to be a great day, with no binging! I almost forgot - it's my 18th wedding anniversary. I hope my husband doesn't buy me chocolates!

I did not binge yesterday - Horray! I did go over my manienance calorie intake a bit by eating too many of "good" things such as fruits and having several local/sugar free snacks. Those things add up and I tend to eat a lot of them so I don't feel deprived. But I didn't buy the popcorn and was even at the store and passed it by. I did think about it several times, but made it through. I'm hopeful on this new day and start of the weekend. I started with a good healthy breakfast and need to stay focused. I am going out to shop now - my second favorite thing!

Thanks for the comment/encouragement. It's nice to know people care and take the time to "Stop by!". I haven't done too well since my firts entry 8 days ago, but I did see the nutritionist yesterday and got some good ideas. Many of which I knew and many to reinforce what I need to do. I got rid of all the trigger foods and accessories that help me make/eat the trigger foods. I got tips on eating more balanced to keep my cravings in check and now have someone to go to in person to be accountable to. As usual, I am hopeful, though of course, skeptical. I am headed to the gym this am and one of things she told me was to eat something (a banana) before going. In otherwords not to skimp on food at the wrong places and times and then make up for it later. So even though I may not feel like eating at 5 am - my body needs something before a workout. I have to balance things out and stay on track throughout the day. She talked about 3 small meals and 3 snacks so i don't go too long between eating. I like that idea! Here's to another START and a good binge-free weekend.

So this is my start, my story. I don't really need to lose any weight, but lost quite a bit over the last year or so. 50 pounds. It started a terrible mess for me with food. Though food has always been an issue in some way or another throughout my life and family's life. But after losing this weight and obsessing about food and exercise, it has become all that I think about all day long. I am always "Hungry" and can always eat, despite I am a low weight with low BMI and only gain a few pounds and then lose it back with not binging a few days and exercising daily. I really only binge on low calorie food, but a lot of it so I don't feel good mentally or physically. It's gotten so crazy I can barely get anything done in my home or with my kids or with my homebased computer business. I am setting up an appt with a nutritionist and know I need professional help from a psychologist as well. I am so embarassed about this and don't feel comfortable talking to anyone about. I thought "Blogging" annonomously about it, might be a small step to help me and make me feel better. One of my biggest binge foods is plain airpopped popcorn - A whole jar a day!I am so happy before and during and feel so awful after and guilty after. I do this several times per week. I also eat "Tons" of fruit and vegis - to excess as well as low-cal/lo-fat snacks with a lot of nutrisweet, much more than anyone should eat each day. It may not be chips and chocolate but it is not healthy by any means and taking such a toll on me and my life. Yesterday, Halloween was not good. I felt deprived that I could not eat the candy everyone else was so I just kept munching on the popcorn, secretly of course. I bought pints of this very low cal yogurt and lots of local lollipops and just ate ALL day long.......It's a new day and a new month and I want so badly to conquer this thing. I don't know how long it will go on for. It really is new for me. It will prob take a professional and maybe some meds, but before that gets going, I had to vent.
