In the bi-polar forum, there is a daily check-in thread.
It is not so much of a "check-in" as it is a "here are my thoughts for
the day".

I am hoping that we can start one too.

I am proud of myself.
BF brought home a box of Drumsticks (ice cream), and I had an apple instead
That apple tasted like victory

I exercised yesterday and didn't over do it to try to compensate for my over-eating. Everything in moderation.

I walked today, about an hour's worth at a medium pace.

Bought salad and berries and I will eat the salad tonight and eat berries early in the week so nothing goes bad.

I have good intentions--I buy veggies and fruit but if I don't eat it right away--ugh!

That is the lesson that I need to learn

Everything in moderation

Ate a big salad as most of my dinner. Eating fruit for dessert.

Tastes like victory, I'll bet

Thanks so much.

I'm trying to remember the healthy things I actually like and try to re-incorporate those things back into my diet.

You just gave me an idea for a new thread!

[GALAXYGAL]

Hummm...eating a lot of healthy foods that may not necessarily be low-cal. I will work out tonight...I am going to do it right now!

[growlycat]

Had a salad for lunch but I need to get walking again. Hard to get exercise motivated with our heat wave!!

[Standup2me]

Doing okay today

[growlycat]

Only so-so for me. Too tired for a walk right now.

No bingeing, but not a lot of healthy going on either.

Apple is a huge victory!!!

I can't buy Drumsticks --so tempting!!

What I can do as a compromise is Mochi ice cream….Bite sized balls of ice cream wrapped in a sweet rice flour (resembles marshmallow)

Somehow one or two is enough for me and I can actually stop.
Mochi is in some supermarkets but especially in Asian specialty grocers.

Feeling fragile hope that i will be able to put a stop to my overeating as i am in the seventh day of eating healthy and in moderation. I know it will be worth it in the long run. Happy to have found this forum.

Going out tonight with the friends, for Chinese food.

I will do okay though, because I never binge in front of other people

I had my first weigh-in today and it was good news! I have completed one week of eating healthy and in moderation. So hope it is a permanent change!

Yay! Go you. Baby steps right. Baby steps will still get you where you are going

[springdweller]

This my first day on this site
so far it has been very eye opening

[Standup2me]

I ate so much, my stomach is fully distended.
I have that sort of food hangover feeling

Tomorrow I will get back to being in control

[breakmystride]

Rough day. I weigh more now than I did before my eating disorder, and it's really depressing me.

Welcome
This is a great place to be, with people who understand

I tried OA today but found it doesn't suit me. I don't seem to have patience for support groups all of a sudden. I didn't care for the two mental health groups i went to this week either.

Still firm in my resolve to eat healthy and in moderation but wary about what the scale will say tomorrow -- i haven't been restricting all that much this week. Oh well, things are still better if all i've succeeded in is eating in an orderly fashion.

[Standup2me]

I am trying to have healthy food in the house.

My goal for today is to clean a bunch of unhealthy food out of the
cupboards and give them to the foodbank.

My thought is "how can I eat two boxes of cheese Ritz crackers, if they are not in the
house?"

More good news on the scale this morning! Yay! I'm really pleased because i did not restrict that seriously this week. I had my favorites a couple times. This means that i don't have to suffer like a monk. My diet is sustainable.

Kudos to StandUp2me for all your hard work -- i'm sure you'll make a lot of people at the food bank and homeless shelter happy!

[Standup2me]

Argh...I ate 6 muffins (not the little ones), a bagel with cream cheese, half a loaf of cornbread and 3/4 of a meatloaf.

Tomorrow is another day.
