DBrew said: "Echo, you may not lose this week, but you can stop this problem from getting worse by getting ahold of yourself! You are more than just a mom! What are you gonna do when Rowan is all grown, huh? Do you have any interests? YOu need to find some. You could find out how to do some volunteer work in your community. You probably have too much time on your hands and boredom is leading to binges. Another way to prevent binge eating is to make sure you are full on healthy foods at all times. Then, you will not overindulge as much. You might eat one chocolate egg after lunch but not all of them. You might want to hide the chocolate while you are having a hard time controlling yourself. Stay positive, echo. You can do this! It takes strategy and time! Good luckl with the rest of the week. You have not failed. Giving up is failing. P. S. Sorry about his glass( we call them glasses here)."

Anyone here have any ideas? I think physical activity helps me. Emma... you are doing so well, hang in there... it's hard but you can do it! :th_dblthumb2: I found the following article about scales - you posted that question. I don't know if the article is of good quality and is valid. If it is not... people HELP! PLEASE! Article: Get Smart About Your Scale FREE DAILY FITNESS TIP By Jennifer Gruenemay, ACE-Certified, LifeScript Staff Writer Monday, April 16, 2007 Daily weigh-ins aren’t such a bad thing if they help you to recognize how your weight naturally fluctuates throughout the day. Your weight can change in response to everything from what you eat and drink to whether or not your bladder and bowels are empty. Putting these weight fluctuations into perspective can help you avoid freaking out the next time you step on the scale after eating dinner, only to find you’ve gained three pounds. Food and beverages obviously weigh something, so don’t be unhappily surprised when the scale shows it. You will not gain three pounds from eating three pounds of food and drink; many foods are partially indigestible, especially fruits, vegetables and whole grains, which will be excreted from the body. Water from the beverages you drink will also be either used to maintain fluid balance within the body or excreted as urine. The calories from the foods you do digest will either be burned for energy or put away in storage. Weight gain comes into play when food or calorie-laden beverages are eaten in excess, and the extra calories are stored in the body as fat. So what really counts are the number of calories you eat and not the number on the scale after you eat. Weigh yourself in the morning before you have anything to eat or drink and after you empty your bladder and bowels. This is your true weight, and the one you should be comparing your weight loss goals to."

Once you have worked out why you ate the egg, think of other things that you can do when you feel that way again. For example, when I am stressed I reach for salt and vingear potatoe crisps. I do not do that anymore, instead when I am stressed I go for a walk, drink water or simply turn the radio up very loud! I hope that helps.... has worked for me! Echoecho: You are learning to change your behviour. Learn from each exprience..... YOU ARE DOING WELL! DON'T GIVE UP!!!:th_dblthumb2: Walking is great exercise if you cannot afford the gym this week. Also, do you have a bike? Echoecho: please do NOT put yourself down! We like you here!! It's ONE exprience, just learn from it and NEVER give up! You will do this Echoecho and I know that I will be reading your success story in the near future! Chin up! It's just one day and I KNOW you can do anything you put your mind to! :th_coolio: Oh... how is your son?"

lakelady said: "Echo, don't despair! You've just started, you'll get the hang of it. What were the easter eggs doing in the kitchen??? Make it [I]VERY[/I] clear to everyone in your family that you are going to lose weight, and [I]ALL[/I] personal junk food (like those eggs) are to be kept in the family members own personal space, and not in family space, and that [I]ANYTHING[/I] found in family space will be immediately thrown out. When you spy something that tempts you, run toward it quick and stuff it down the garbage disposal before you have time to think. It does more good in the garbage than it does in you! It's not wasting food since it would actually do you harm to eat it, it's the same as throwing out poison in that case. I did this when I went on MY diet 9 years ago, and I had 2 teenagers and a 6 year old at home at the time. It didn't take everyone very long to figure out I was serious! I lost 100 pounds in 7 months!"
