Topic: RE: binge
Thank you. It just scares me to see the scale head up instead of down. I'm feeling better today. I've been off school for a couple of weeks and that has not helped. Classes start back up on Wed and I'll be gone 5 days a week, so that will help.
Thank you
Thank you

Have a great week, due to being stuck on a Tuesday to Saturday work week I will not be able to make a coffee for a while. Maybe this September thing will change.

The fact that you are recognizing it, confessing and posting here is a really good step! I agree with Coco, the only way I can stop from obsessing over some foods is to get them away from me--running water on them, throwing them in the garbage (and taking the garbage out of the house), feeding them to the dog, whatever it takes. Sometimes I need to leave the house and go do something that keeps my mind off of food. Sounds like you tried some of that.
Hang in there--you have conquered this before and you have the power to conquer it again! You can do it!!

Topic: Monday Morning Week 2 of our Fresh Start--weigh-in!
Good morning everyone! Hope you all had a good week.
I thought mine was pretty good, but it didn't show as much as I would have liked on the scale. At one point this week I was down below 140 lbs, but yesterday I ate popcorn and pizza while watching football--too much salt, I think.
I also ran 4 miles yesterday, but I guess I should have done more. We ran fast tho--best mile pace I've had in a training run EVER! When I uploaded the data from my Garmin I was floored, because I didn't feel that tired. (I was stiff later, that's for sure.) Goes to show that I need to push myself more during my training runs. I did run almost 15 miles last week, and did two elliptical and strength sessions too.
Here's the stats:
Starting weight: 298.4 lbs
Last week: 142.0 lbs
This week: 141.8
Loss of 0.2 lbs
Hopefully the exercise will pay off this week instead.

Hi! Gee, I don't know if I'll be any help. I'm still in the beginning of my nutritionist's visits in the second of six months before I even have surgery. I know I was struggling right off the bat. There was chocolate ice cream in the frig and I obsessed about it all day yesterday. I finally gave in last night and had a huge bowl with half and half on it. After I was all done, I realized what the answer was for me. Into the sink went the rest of the gallon. I ran it under ho****er till it all melted and went down the drain. Next, I threw all the chips and and dip in the trash. I used to think "out of sight" was out of mind. Not so! I feel better now and a whole lot wiser. Hope this helps! Coco

Well, off and on for the last few months I've had bingeing episodes, not too bad, but they have concerned me. Last night was the worst. I had a really BAD day and even worse night. I tried calling a friend, went for a walk, read a book, tried everything to not binge. It did not work. I ate until I dumped, rode out the dump, then ate more. The only thing that stopped it was 2 tylenol PMs to put me to sleep.
I need to be accountable. I've been saying that for a while, but haven't done my part. So, here I am doing my part - I'm confessing that my eating disorder is back with a vengeance. But the difference is, this time I have tools to help me and I am going to use them. I don't want to go back to who I was before.
Thanks for letting me vent and confess...

Topic: RE: Starting to Re-build Me
I had my breasts lifted and augmented back in May and I LOVE LOVE LOVE my breasts!
I always had man boobs before my WLS - pointed down and cone shaped :( I was so excited to actually have feminine breasts.
I also had my arms done - they were pretty hideous... Super happy with the results. My right arm scar is bigger than I had hoped, but we are taking some steps to get it to reduce a bit and it seems to be working.
Some initial photos are on my profile if you would like to see. I will take some 6 month shots and post those too. Best of luck to you!
p.s. My doctor was Robert Wilke from Edina Plastic Surgery and I LOVED him!

I will be there on Saturday, too!
Good to see your post, MM. I have missed seeing you!! Congrats on not gaining over the holidays, that's awesome.
I gained, but I have been inching back down. This morning I was finally back under my "freak-out" weight--just barely, only by 0.10 of a pound, but it still made me happy.
See you tomorrow, everyone!
