@koekjeshater oh I don't purge after...its just an intense binge on food...I could eat and eat forever

@koekjeshater they are not as frequent as they use to be..usually very rare now...but life has been pretty stressful lately that I find myself just wanting to eat..because it makes me feel better at the time. Thanks for the support! :)

@koekjeshater I have frequent binges..hard to break such a horrible habit.

so for the past few weeks I've been having MULTIPLE binges..nothing like they use to be, but still out of control, eating late at night (Last night was bad but only because I knew it was the end I had to end on a good night with some Ben and Jerry). But what I realized is why I was binging. One of the most diffcult things I've come across since losing the weight (now I have 10 pounds to drop AGAIN) is dating. How the hell do you meet men? I've graduated from college, I work mostly with women, and can't stand the idea of meeting a guy at a bar. So I tried the online thing..met one guy..of course it didn't go anywhere. But all these guys want is just a one night stand or sex!! WHAT THE HELL???????? Thats NOT what I want, not what I need...so I talk to all these losers and just eat...its my new avoidance to get out of meeting and talking to these douchebags I eat. If I eat I'll be fat and then they won't want to talk to me anymore. Does that make sense?? I just can't handle talking to another moron!! And then to make matters worse this gross ex-boyfriend of a co worker (both much older like in their 60's) called on the phone and was being gross asking if I would sleep with him blah blah blah. What the hell is wrong with men?? Like I didn't lose weight just to find a boyfriend...but I didn't think it would be this awful of an expirence....I wonder if I was happier when I was fat and no one bothered me at all???

@knitkids999 I think losing it at a slow pace is fine..I hate to say it but this really is a lifestyle change, wether we want to admit it or not..I know I have to do this for the rest of my life :( So take your time, enjoy it!

@knitkids999 SURE! It was amazing! I ran it 3 1/2 minutes faster than my last one! How is everything going with you??

I'm running a 10K on Monday but my eating has been out of control...need to get back into it so I can run this damn race!! Words of encouragement would be nice!! :)

@dajero1 ME TOOO...me and a jar of peanut butter...and its done. Last Sunday night I was just standing over it all I could focus on was spoon to mouth...not good. You'll gain control again..one day at a time! Today is brand new!! I'm trying to myself to the gym right now...trying to make some excuses but I know should go!

whats going on??

quick go for a walk

YAY! Thats awesome!!

I always slip. We're human..I slipped tonight taking random nibbles while making lunch for tomorrow...and I ate more than 2 bites of these delicious brownies. At least I know I'm putting in half the crap I was putting in my body before. Tomorrow will always be better!!!

yeah losing the weight is easier than trying to maintain..I'm dealing with this 3 pound battle!

I probably shouldn't be eating so many..at first it was because I was getting heartburn when I was running...now its because they taste so delicious...I need to keep my mouth going or I feel like I'll crack and start eating. I need to lay off of them and the sugar free gum! Something I'm trying to work on! I may try today with no tums!

ALWAYS eat breakfast..even if its a little something..just to get you going!! Eat an energy bar (larabars are delicious)! Anything, and you will see the weight come off! :)

@ I thought I was doing that...slowly started eating more calories to maintain my weight...but that turned into an excuse that it would be okay to eat more. Its just this horrible cycle that I need to break!

@dajero1 I'll be your buddy!

good luck!! I'm trying to get back on track too!

For about a month I've been stuck in this rut. I hit my target weight down 70 plus pounds...ever since July I've gained 4 pounds...I know I'm snacking more and not tracking what I eat...but still what am I doing wrong??? I exercise EVERYDAY run at least 4-6 miles...I'm just frustrated with life at the moment. Starting FRESH tomorrow

@fillychick96 I'll try it! Thanks for the tip :)
