Every day is another chance to start over again! Plan every bite of food for each day the day before. Right it down in a daybook or whatever that you take with you, then check each food you eat off the list as though eating it is a success-- because it is! Also, build in to each day some tiny treat--a Hershey's kiss, that you get at the end of the day after you've followed the menu you created for that day.

I would like to suggest something for you that helped me with binge eating. I started a journal in a spiral notebook. Nothing fancy. I would write down everything I ate then wrote about my emotions that day. after about a week I analyzed it to see where and what was happening to make me binge. Knowing is always the first step. I know this site is supposed to do this very thing but I found writing in my own hand and then going back to read it a week later really sank home for me. I was able to make healthy choices, like getting involved in a dance club on days I found I was bored and made plans with my friends and family during the times I would be feeling down and out. Hope this helps. Don't give up. I'll let ya borrow my personal motto: "Adapt and overcome". LOL well good luck, friend me if you want help or someone to talk to.

WoW. that sounds like me...in since April when i joined this i've gained 10 lbs and i'm not at my goal weight...so that means i'm 10 lbs in addition to the 20! ugh. well, i've rejoined Jenny Craig, but i haven't been very active. I know my body, so there are a few things i have to do so let's work on this together.
