Are You a Binge Eater?
If you're inclined to binge, the most important thing to do for yourself is to examine the emotional reasons behind your problem. I know that processing such emotions is hard and takes time, but here are some good techniques to help you modify your behavior and combat binge eating in the future:

Banish binge foods from your environment. Don't buy or store stuff that you can binge on. After all, you can't eat what's not there.
Try taking up a hobby. Keep yourself occupied so that rather than medicating yourself with food, you'll distract yourself with something productive.
Decorate your fridge with stuff that motivates you. I have two pictures on mine: One is a photo of my cellulite, and the other is of Madonna. Let me tell ya, there is nothing that will turn you off to food like pictures of cottage cheese on your butt.
Call a friend. The next time you want to stuff your face, reach out for support and try talking through your feelings instead of anesthetizing them by bingeing.
Do something to screw up your binge. In other words, pamper yourself with something that's positive as opposed to self-destructive. Get a mani-pedi. Take a bubble bath. Go to the gym. There are many places to go and activities to take part in that'll also lead you away from food temptations.
Real work takes time, so it's good to have some techniques to fall back on when life gets the better of you! And remember: one day at a time. If you do end up in a binge, work out a little harder the next day. Every day is a new one. Got it, kids? Cool. Tomorrow's Tip: Sodium 101

Re: Roll Call 8/26

Well, I feel good- I got up at 6:30 today and worked out. And I had a nice surprise when I got on the scale- down 3 lbs so far! So, things are going well.

Present, on-track, and moving forward.

Walking my mile today was brutal as the heat and humidity is really high here today, but I made it. Kept thinking everything positive I could. Like, I no longer have to come in from my walk and immediately wash my thighs and put neosporin on where my thighs rub big sores.... cause, there's no more sores! Yippee!!

P.S. Colleenweenie, so you're still sore from your big hike this weekend? You go girl!

Re: Roll Call 8/26

Kudos to the exercisers! Kudos to the quitting smokers, yay! Kudos to those who get up, eat right and drink their water, YOOHOO!

I am so nice and relaxed. I made it to the gym, 30 minutes on the elliptical, (turns my legs to jelly) and 30 minutes swimming which was fabulous. I love to swim. Treated myself to the whirlpool, now home feeling very.. and very clean. Hungry, though, gotta go eat!

Re: Roll Call 8/26

I had a non-scale victory today! I tried on some size 14 capris that I had from a couple of years ago and I could actually zip them! Now, they were tight enough in the butt that I wouldn't wear them, but when I started this WOE early in July I couldn't even get the two sides together to button them, let alone get them zipped!

Hurray!
