I realize this is not a significant loss but I do know what I did this week. I binged on sweets. Halloween candy. Here is the problem with that. My diet was sweets. I ate one meal and the rest of the day sweets. I am actually surprised I did not gain more. I weighed myself Monday and I was up 3 pounds.

I also know what triggered my binge. I was sick. I felt terrible. I did not feel like making shakes let alone drinking them. I did not feel like drinking a gallon of water. I did not feel like excercising. I did not care. I felt sick. So I made myself feel better for the one minute it took to eat a candy. Then I would look for more so I could bring that euphoria back. Terrible cycle. Yesterday I said enough is enough. I ended up eating sweets but not as many. I need to make the commitment to STOP and STOP now! In the past these cycles could last months with me gaining all of my weight back. It is like I crave the sweets now that I have had them. I NEED that comfy, good feeling from eating sweets. UGH!

On the bright note. What I have learned is I need HELP! And that is why I am seeing a therapist for binge eating disorder. I do not need to yell at myself for my behavior this week. I need to pat myself on the back for learning all I have about this eating disorder and getting the help I need to stop the cycle. We have 4 generations of binge eaters. My grandmother, my mother, me and my daughter. This disorder STOPS with my family. We are done!

And now for a new week!
