/Unami,

Thank you both for your kind words and for understanding how significant 10

binge-free days really is!

I keep track of it on my calendar by highlighting the binge free day the morning

after. It is a good way to keep myself on track and if I do end up having a

binge, I can go back and see that I really have made progress and that I'm not

" always binging " though my negative self-talk tries to tell me otherwise.

Have a great day ladies!

Welcome , and congrats! I also know how HUGE it is to go binge-free. I

am just a few days away from being 9 months binge/purge free, which is when I

found IOWL! Haha, that's almost a gestational period! But maybe there's

something significant about that time period, because I feel like now I'm done

with " getting ready to be ready " to get rid of those pounds.

Thank you so much! And today makes 11! And congrats to you for 9 months...that

is AWESOME! I hope to say the same thing in 8 and a half months

This morning, I had this overwhelming fear of " messing up " because my negative

self-talk tells me that anytime I am on track, I will fail. I have to just

remember that they are just emotions and not real.

Thank you for that reminder!

I wanted to share that the exact thing you wrote about happened today. I overate

during lunch and usually at that point, I'm thinking " well, what the heck..might

as well have some ice-cream to top it off " ...but I kept thinking about

self-correcting and bringing myself back to balance. Once we got to the store,

instead of getting ice cream, I got some plain yogurt to calm my stomach and

still have that " dessert " aspect of my meal. This is exciting progress for me as

I'm sure you may understand. thank you again!

I got your email about being buddies but keep getting a delivery failure

message when I try to respond. This was the address I had on hand...

mndy616@....

Is this correct?

Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi ,

Sorry to butt in here but I don't remember seeing your introductory email

and I just wanted to say hi!

I discovered the podcasts and the group quite a while ago, but never really

got involved, never really listened to the podcasts enough to make a huge

difference, etc.. like you said, I just wasn't committed.

While it's been very helpful to me so far to communicate with the group, I

do think it would be really nice to talk with someone who's going through

all of the podcasts from the start. Let me know if you still need a buddy. I

hope it works out with , too!

Congratulations on ten binge-free days! I remember when one binge-free day

was a huge deal for me, and ten would have been unheard of. I still have

binge days and probably always will. The difference for me now is getting

back on track. Self-correcting, as calls it.

One binge does not mean the end of this. I have to tell myself that

sometimes still.

Hope to hear more from you!

I apologize for not responding sooner. My goal of going on the IOWL yahoo group

every week has fallen by the way side--already! Lol. Also, I am new to this

group and navigating yahoo groups in general, so I am getting familiar with the

message forum etc. I wasn't sure how to update my email address, because I

actually use a gmail account for email, I just had to sign in with a yahoo

email. Anyway, my email address is acboney@...

I look forward to hearing from you soon, sorry about the mix-up again!

I hope your week is going well!
