Today is the first day of the rest of my life !!!

I have been crazy for the whole month of Dec . !! I have gained 5 1/2 pounds !! I've been eating sugar sooooooooooooo much !! One bite on Dec. 3 and I'm like a drunk, I can't stop !! I was only 19 pounds from goal and now I'm 24 1/2 !! Today my binge is over !! I have had my protien drink and I plan to exercise for at least 30 minutes today and I plan to post what I eat on Fitday. Also I will post on this board what I'm doing so I will be accountable to someone. Anyone care to join me and we can help each other. Tonight I will post what I have done today. Judy

Judy - I've been on my own mini sugar binge as well, but thankfully I do dump so I've been a little less than wild with total abandon lately. Still, even though I dump I cannot believe that I have thrown caution to the wind as I did on a couple occasions and eat despite knowing I'd be so sick later. Ugh. How does one use a tool that they can ignore until they have to pay the piper????? Yikes! I am doing my normal up and down 2-3 lbs so I am not freaking over this, but I would like to LOSE something this month. We'll see. As for exercise, well, I have a feeling I am going to have to look for a different venue for my exercise as my last stint has turned somewhat sour. Dina

I'm there with you! Gotta do this! How stupid is it to keep eating on the edge after all we have been through? Today I did well with my hamburger soup, but did not do my protein shake. (And I added in corn bread and got hot flashes from it!! ) Even with that, it was the best eating day I have had in a while. Tomorrow will be better. Joy

Hamburger Soup? Is there anyplace I can find this recipe? do you have a link to a special recipe site? That would be great..........THANKS!

Judy, How did you do yesterday? I'll join you in your re-dedication to getting those last pounds off. I didn't do too bad over Christmas, but could have done better. I want to be at goal by March so I need to kick it in gear. Yesterday I was at the gym and did aerobics for an hour. After that, I did another 20 minutes of crunches and leg lifts. I ate a little bag of Cheese Nips yesterday so I didn't do so well on the carbs. After the gym last night, I went to the store and stocked up on high protein food so today is a new day and I'm going to start out right. Connie

So how are you all doing? I did good until dinner last night, when I decided to eat cornbread with my hamburger soup! I did not go into a full dump, but got the hot flashes and that familiar yucky feeling. Today I have been good. Protein shake for breakfast. Cheese and SF hot chocolate for lunch. Hamburger soup now (without the cornbread!). My eating schedule is off, but my food choices are much better. I'm thinking of making some deviled eggs... Joy
