Monday Entry:
current 4 day running average: 2290 for the past 4 days. still a bit high. tomorrow i *need* a different breakfast. sick of the ices/coffee. especially when i need to sit around for some of the morning, and think about my hunger...not good.
hungry, not great day. i woke up with a painful knee - i could hardly bend it back at all. and stairs, well, not good... i didn't even want to go to school, but i did. i don't want to take off any more "sit around" days. i'd rather take the day to do something fun while summer is here.

saturday night:
1200 cal today. lots of exercise, sorta. outdoors. beach, etc.
time between this binge and last is about 9 days. (this is for my own record). total calories extra i've had since my return from vacation: around 5500. total calories i could have lost since vacation: again, around 5500. No progress bc of my binging. Otherwise, I could have managed over 1.5 pounds lost. Although my weight is over 133, it is due to bloating. I MUST move foward.
saturday morning edit:
breakfast: marino chocolate italian ice, coffee: 150.
i woke up twice throughout the night to pee. it looked cloudy and absolutely disgusting. full of all the garbage i ingested. probably full of sugar that my body could not handle.
i am "embarassed" to say that I messed up again. a bit angry at myself for actually giving into a binge and skipping a party i planned to go to. upset that i worked REALLY hard to lose weight this week, would have been around 1.5 pounds, too. I now have one month till September. I will not give myself a weight goal, but, I can still think about what I may be capable of. I have been binging all summer and I am not content with it. I am upset that I cannot manage my behaviors yet. too bad i didn't get a call from the psychologist yet to make an appointment. they're overbooked.
about 30 days left till September. My 27th bday is 9/9/09. hmm...that is 39 days. I can lose an average of 5 pounds by then. yeah, it doesn't sound like much, but that is what's feasable. and not just a lofty dream.
i feel like crying. but of course i won't. it's just spilled milk. I am not happy with my weight right now. I was thinking by 27, like 25..and 26...that i would have my weight managed. but no, my weight will not be "under control" by my birthday. It'll be in the upper 120s, hopefully lower than 130 if I stay dedicated.
Last summer, late August, I was in my lower 120s. So I'm behind. But why I am looking backwards. That's one of my habits. Always looking at past successes, rather than working for new ones.
I am looking foward to a nice Saturday today. Last night was horrible. I even ate some brownie mix, that i didn't even prepare correctly. ugh.
My stomach is bloated, my body is worn to the core. At almost 26 years old, 9 years of binging is wreaking havic to my body. I cannot handle it as well as I once did. I don't want to end up in the hospital one day like the patients I do Xrays on.
I am working on it. Boy is this a difficult process. Binging is not an easy habit to break. All I can say is this weekend will be enjoyable, therefore no reason to binge. yesterday was a wash. but i guess i need to move on from yesterday.
so there. most of next week is "recovery" from last night's high calories. after that, next 3 weeks of August will be weightloss weeks. Next week i'm also back to school, the classroom. i could cry about that one. too bad we didn't get one more month of hands on only, before testing begins again. leave it to my teachers to start again one month early. blah.
+++++++++++++++++++++++
shiiiiiiit. i binged. blah. my old habits are far from gone. 5,000 cal. this means a gain of one pound (in one day!). i will NOT focus on eating really low tomorrow, but just on eating for that day. one day at a time...
instead of going out tonight, i'm staying home, bloated, tired, really full. tomorrow i'll be at the beach, and going out tomorrow night. i exhausted myself and overdid it today on lack of eating, or eating the wrong things, and i overate just now...
reason for overeating: lonely (parents are out of the house this weekend which makes me usually binge more when i'm alone in private), being tired, stressed, too many plans. exhausted.

i'm sooo stupid for overeating the past few days bc weightloss took some determination while i was away. i ate right bc i wanted to. and it worked really well. i prob did lose at one point 5 lbs in just 10 days! and i've put a couple back on! careless on my part. so now i need to make MUCH bigger efforts. i promise myself continued success with my weightloss. it means watching calories. keeping them LOW. and walking/exercising much, much more. i am now able to exercise for longer periods of time without a problem....especially walking. i can do it for 6 miles no problem as long as it's not only on concrete...
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 5 lbs to go!
Any fun plans for the weekend? Doing something you enjoy and can relax???

Are you keeping a food journal? It may help you figure out your triggers by questioning your choices as you're making them....... I think finding your "triggers" are your key to success - but hey, that's just an observation - I'm not a guru or anything & I don't claim to have the answers (I'm still searching myself). I just know that I had to figure out some of my triggers (notice I say "some" becus I've still got "some" to figure out) before I started making any significant progress.
Overall, you're doing a great job and should be pleased with yourself and how far you have come. If you must judge your success, try to look at how far you've come - not how far you "think" you have left to go.........

I think you (your body, that is) are still recovering from your vacation. That's part of the fatigue. If it's really humid by you, that could be another reason. Humidity wipes out any ounce of energy I might have. I'm guessing though it's mostly from the travel. PLUS, keep in mind that digestion takes a lot of body energy. When you consume a lot of food and then go to bed, your body needs to work very hard to digest all of that food instead of resting.
Travel, change of climate, eating too much ... maybe you're getting sick?
Rest up, I hope you feel better soon :-(

hollybelle on 08/04/2009:
Good morning, sunshine! Congratulations on the good day!
grumpy on 08/04/2009:
Thanks for the compliments, HOP! I don't know, i just feel like I am losing control again. I will definitely work on that today and all this week. Congrats on the recent loss. xoxo
Donkey on 08/04/2009:
Thanks for the words of support on my blog. It's funny because we're at different points in our lives, yet we are walking a very similar path. I know a few women who have overcome binge-eating by allowing themselves to eat more during the day, throughout the day, in a more balanced fashion. As a younger woman, you can still do this and lose weight. I know you do that thing with averages, but perhaps you might consider something like 1800-2200 calories a day and see what happens.
halley on 08/04/2009:
I think Donkey may have a good point about eating more during the day. Sounds like you need to rest your knee.
