Work is keeping me busy, no DS time at work - darn it! Work is going good though, almost 1 week down. So far so good. Glad tomorrow is Friday!
Jimmy is done with school - starts camp June 15th. He is supposed to go into school for an hour and 1/2 but with me working and Jim just getting home from midnights we decided to just keep him home. They will just mail his report card, that's all. He had a picnic at school today from 10-2 so a fun day for him on his last day!
I'm ok, haven't been eating the best and not sure why - all these cravings and not even that time of the month (bingeing? - yes). I did run the bike trail yesterday, approx. 3 miles.
Have to get my act together and find out what causes these binges. I do so good and then something triggers it.
I have to make dinner now so I will update more later and also catch up on everyone's journals. Sorry I haven't had a chance to get on.

Therapy will tell U why U binge..maybe its worth it to talk it out and pinpoint..no shame in it. Although I know U will bounce back and get on track:) U always do!!!

Glad the job is going well and everything is falling into place. Sometimes stress and being too busy do it for me, so maybe things will settle down in the no binges department once the routine is all fixed! Love you!

SO nice to hear from you! I have been bingeing myself lately. Horrible cravings. But I am fairly certain my situation is stress related. Maybe with all of the upheaval and changes in your life lately? I'm with ya! Old habits die hard it seems. Great job on the running though. You should be all set for your duathalon at the end of the month!
Maybe once you get back into a routine, you won't be craving the food so much? I hope that is all it is. Take care.

Nat (above) says therapy will tell you why you binge! I'm not a fan of therapy, and most of the time it's an unnecessary and expensive indulgence. HORMONES are a prime cause of binges in young and menopausal women! And we all succumb to the comfort food at times. Therapy has a way of complicating things that are quite simple. The only thing that will get thinner with a psychiatrist is your wallet!

The binging could be an emotional response to stress.
OR if you've been using sugar substitutes they can trigger an increased appetite.
Whatever it is the best thing to do is identify it, deal with it head on, and move on.
You can do this Kathy...I know you can. Life has been so chaotic and with the stress of job loss and uncertainty I can certainly see how food can become a source of comfort. I do it...I think each one of us here can relate to it.
Being on the "injured list" I know I went into an eating coma, just stuffing my face with whatever junk my hubby brought me to eat. I've been so depressed and angry about this knee thing because I WAS doing so well. So, definitely emotions can drag us down when we aren't feeling great about ourselves.
Hang in there, keep fighting for yourself and working towards those goals as best as you can. Eventually this will pass. Will it creep back up on you again is the question.
Take care of yourself Kathy, we love you and are cheering for you to succeed!

I am thrilled to hear that the job is good. That job switch alone would seem to be enough to make me binge. Never mind the people and work you left behind at the old place, just changing things is tough. I do not really handle new things well. I thrive on routine and consistency. I know you'll get through it! You are strong and always come through well!
Hope Jimmy has a great picnic!
Love you!

Food logs help.

I am so glad to hear how things are going! I know that when my routine gets messed up and I get stressed my eating gets bad...its really hard with kids and a job and life in general! Great job getting out running though...I think keeping up your exercise is the #1 important thing you can do...I know it makes me feel better and helps with the stress! I love you am so glad the new job is going well! ((hugs)))

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear about the binging struggle. I think maybe being thrown into a new routine? That's something that makes it hard for me. FOOD LOGS!! Like em said :). Write it then bite it. I'm so glad the job is going great! I hope Jimmy has a fun week at home and then off to camp! I love you Kathy, stay strong and keep making yourself a priority.

stay strong Kathy. You can do this. Try to figure out what is causing you to binge- job change? Routine change? New ppl? Stress at home? I wish you had more time to pop in here and post your food log and small journal. Even if you only have 10 mins, it would cool to see you on here staying involved. I know how hard it is Kathy. And I know how busy life is too. We will understand if you can't catch up with us as long as you are on here doing what YOU need to do. I love you Kathy. HUGS
