   ive had a rough week and once again turned to food. I hate it. I look and feel bigger than ever before. But the only way Im going to get better is by working out. I have to stop complaining and realize that Im not going to lose ten pounds in a week. I have to aim for something realistic. I am going to try extra hard. Im going to try and count my calories and keep up with my physical activity. I am going to give myself four months to get where i want to be. I really need your guys help to keep me motivated. So here i go...attempt #703 (not realisticly) . . . help me out guys =)

   dont focus so much on dieting, just focus on what emotins or stress is making you binge . When you feel like you're going to binge then go for a walk and definetly get out of your temptation zone. Trust me dieting makes you focus on food, and when you screw up your diet it makes you all the more susceptible to binging

   hey good job on restarting. I'm at a point where I've binged so much that I have gained back everything that I worked so hard to loose. It's so frustrating and probably is one of the most challenging period of my life. You are a motivation for me! Keep going, hopefully when I see you post that you lost some weight and gained control of your eating again, I might find the courage and strength to restart.

   You know, you shouldn't set yourself a time limit. That puts you under pressure. It's better to try living healthy and not think about calories that much.
   You know, in the past I used to have a journal where I wrote down what I ate and how much I exercised and I would always write the calories down too. Still I binged at least once a week.
   Then I started another journal and still wrote down what I ate but insted of calories I'd write my emotions beside the food. I'm also trying to stp counting calories and I only exercise when I feel like it. And it helped! The more you think about calories and weight and reaching a goal the more likely you'll binge. Life is long! It wouldn't hurt to lose the pounds in 1 or 2 month more, would it?
   Just don't think about it too much, live healthy, exercise a bit and you'll make it!

   Hi

   I know where you are coming from. I am 60 pounds over the top healthy weight I should be, so I know the struggle between wanting to be in control of the eating and lose the weight.

   I have come to the realisation that I have to stop dieting to lose weight. I have lost 1 pound each week for the last 3 weeks which I know is not huge amounts, but I have not dieted at all during that time, and I have lost it by having a better control over my binging, I know that my food intake when I am not binging is generally ok and this has proved it. But I have also worked out that the minute I start restricting calories and having a regime in place that I can fail (ie go over) I set myself up to binge when it goes wrong.

   You can do this
