well, i had a pretty good week. i had 5 good days, where i barely
c&s anything, and 2 bad days. thursday and sunday were the bad
days. yesterday, i just lost it, and gave in to temptation.

but, the other days where i did well, i felt so much better. i don't
know if i have lost any weight or not because i have pms and that
always messes with my weight.

i am going to do well again this week. i will post in another 7 days
and let you know how it goes. i am determined to quit this.

tinhair-do you think i ruined the whole week calorie-wise by
having 2 bad days?

if any of you feel that you c&s for emotional reasons, you may want
to look on amazon at a book called the end of diets. i am about
2/3 of the way through and it has really helped me realize that i
am not doing this out of hunger, i am doing it because i have a
hard time expressing my emotions. so... when i'm lonely, bored,
angry, etc, i just stuff it all down inside with food. also, the book
suggests breathing, meditation, and a few yoga moves to help get
your mind off food and on how you're actually feeling. i kind of
thought that was a little silly at first, but it helped me get through
Friday and Saturday binge-free...which for me, is amazing.

Okay-- if anyone else is trying to quit, I hope you're doing well.
Please post on here and give any advice you have!

Thanks!
