There are many things in life that you can't control but eating isn't one of them. Stop with the binging and be proud of yourself. You are stronger then the cravings. 

Now that that's over with, get back on track. We're here for you. 

Weekends are hard, aren't they? I find getting through them without going off track to be my biggest challenge. 

I'm so sorry you're going through this. just try and keep yourself distracted. I know for me it helps to not be alone.  

You're definitely going through a big change....it's OK to let that affect you dear, life is hard...but I PROMISE you will be 100% very soon....unfortunately you just have to be patient...HUGS!!! 

In those moments when you're feeling down or in a weird place, take your frustrations to the gym and sweat them away. I have found exercise to be a wonderful stress release or pick-me-up, depending on what I need at the time. You can get through this...and, we are here to listen and offer a shoulder to lean or cry on. You got this! 

These weren't cravings. I repulsively ate til I couldn't anymore... I encompassed myself in the very catalyst that brought me to where I am... I'm really hurting right now... I believe I've rid of the habit of using food as comfort because I wasn't eating to be happy, I was eating to feel worse. Mission accomplished...  

I get exactly what you mean...I do the same thing, I can't stop myself...when I'm upset, that's all I want to be...to the fullest extent... 

Forget about what already happened. You can't be dwelling on that stuff. It's another day so go for it.  

That's my tendency, too. I like to eat because it gives me something to do. Stress always makes it worse.  

Grab a walk instead of the bag of chip... its amazing how you feel after.... lifts your spirit.  

I think we've all been there, at one time or another, the thing is to get past it, you can't allow yourself to dwell on it. Let the past be the past, and move on to a better future.

It is so easy to do! We support you! "Today is the first day of the rest of your life"! Or right now is the beginning of your diet! :) 

Well said Ann.  

Baby steps, don't try to do everything all at one time. Make a small change each week until your not missing what you've changed then on to the next change. Good luck.
