Day 90
Have been exercising again today to take my mind off not eating bad food - don't know what's wrong with me lately
Oh well, as long the binge-y thoughts just stay as an urge rather than an action then that'll do me for now.
Thought for the day:
"The road to gaining weight is paved with good intentions."

Hey Serena, i think the fact that you acknowledge the urge and accept and live with it is a big part of overcoming, (can you tell i've been reading Gillian Riley!)
Have a fab day hun!

Hi Serena
Sorry I have no words of wisdom on the binging front, I'm still battling myself with this, but just wanted to give you a :hug99:
I read so many books on the subject when my binging returned after losing my weight that my mind got somewhat addled with all the information. In the end I stopped reading the books as I realised that everyone has different binge triggers ndwhat one author thought another author thought differently. I then just listened to myself, I write a diary and now know when my binge times are likely, with me it's down to stress, tiredness and too much caffeine. I've found a cognitive behavioural therapist in Canterbury that specialises in people with eating/weight problems and am at the moment in the process of trying to get a referral through the NHS, although if this fails I'll see him as a private patient.
I also know that a lot of my problems are that I analyse too much, and although I dont feel as bad about my binges as I did, I still feel guilty about having them, as to me it's still not what 'normal' people do.

Serena you are now living your new life, well this is how I see it in your diary. Except 1 thing........ I know you have become fixated, as we do when we reach goal, about food. However you know how to keep it off and perhaps it's time to think a little less about trying so hard and just keep doing the active things and making the right choices about food that you have been.
Perhaps it's all the thinking that may have contributed a little to your bingey thoughts the other day.
You are a beautiful lady who has reached for the stars and is now riding one! Wink!

Day 91
Today is day 91 since I first reached my healthy BMI, i.e. exactly 3 months. Big deal you might think, but believe me it's three months longer at a healthy weight than I have ever, ever been in my entire life so it's quite an achievement for me!!
I said a few days ago that I was thinking of ending my diary and it's niggled at me ever since. It's because I felt I was focussing too much on food/diets when really I should be just enjoying living slim instead of letting it be such a major part of my day.
So...this will be my last daily diary entry. I don't think I've done too badly overall - a couple of minor blips since I first started CD back in September 08 is ok I think.
Will still post in my diary occasionally - I just think taking the obligation off myself to have to do it every day will help me to relax a little.
I'll continue to lurk and post elsewhere on Minimins though...not quite ready to let that go just yet!
Final thought for the day:
"You owe it to yourself to see it through."

You have done fantastically well, wow - just look at you! Gorgeous, stunning and beautiful are all understatements. You look AMAZING.
You should be so so proud of yourself honey - WELL DONE.

I agree.....will miss reading your daily diary but wholeheartedly understand your decision and reasons behind it. Glad you will still be hovering though! xx

Serena, will SO miss your musings but purely from a selfish viewpoint... there has been so much to learn from your honesty and your fantastic attitude. I am glad you will still lurk around... have said it before but will say it again, I cannot thank you enough for the wise words always at the right time, the great example, the inspiration. I think you are right... but still, it's sad, makes me think of one of those wildlife films where something is released back into the wild and you want it to stay but know it can't. (Free Serena!!!!)
So, biggest of big hugs, and good luck, although I know very well that luck has nothing to do with it! You will be fine, and I am so proud of you. And by the way, love the new pic... never thought white could be a 'slimming' colour, but oh boy it can... when you are slim to start with!
Hugs & xxxx

Serena's title didn't fit
Love your new pic babe. Understand your decission, I myself haven't really been posting a lot on the forum and it does somehow make me less obsessive about food because I don't feel like I have to justify everything to people on here.. Silly perhaps but.. mehh!
Will harrass you still so don't think you've gotten rid of me missy!
Big hugs xx

Hey Serena :wavey: Umm. Finishing your diary :copon:
Hah. do understand though. I found it really hard to know what to talk about on mine Didn't want to keep talking about how I was doing (or not doing ). Twas fine for a while, but after a few months, yawn, yawn
Hope you'll still join me on my Anything Goes Diary. Don't have to read the research foody/brain bits if it's doesn't feel right at the moment. After all it's an Anything Goes Diary.

I could have wrote this post as it is exactly how I am feeling. My brain has been screaming out for a few months now for me to just stop and go back to what's easy and that is eating like I used to. I have to fight myself everyday to try to carry on as I should. The outcome you ask? Staying around the same weight for the last few months. I am thinking going back to SS when school is out.

All the best to you Serena. As a newcomer to this section, I'm especially sad to see you go but it's good to take a step away sometimes, and I look forward to reading your updates whenever you do pop in.
