Thanks! Jennifer - I think you misunderstood my comment on CNC. I planned on going for a run but since it was raining, chose to do a bootcamp class instead. I may still try to go for a run later tonight or just do a longer one tomorrow. I am training for a half marathon, so I have to cover a certain mileage per week in order to be ready for the race. No worries - I listen to my body when it tells me I need a break. That's actually why I didn't do my run right after bootcamp. Lisa, I’m glad you found something that’s working for you!! :)

Seriously, chill out! I know overexercising seems endemic in the blog world, but you don't have to do it! Just read your post on Carrots n Cake when you mentioned boot camp and then running.

What I find helpful is to really pay attention to my emotions and stress triggers - address what am I'm really hungry for. Let myself have what I'm craving, but if it seems kinda out of control, stop and ask myself what's really going on. Then address that.

I tend to be much more satisfied when I eat slower and take smaller bites--chewying instead of just swallowing.

I had a lot going on and was binging non stop so I just stopped about a week or so ago and have been eating what i want. The result for me has been little to no snacknig since i've been having bigger meals, and no urge to binge because i've been eating what i want. I also feel so much happier not binging which has helped not want to binge also. I've also avoided the scale for the first time ever. So I hope this keeps working for me! I know if I don't binge I'll lose weight. Oh and I've been eating one indulgent sweet a day and not feeling guilty. I think i'm just over the diet mentality. it's too much work! i'm trying to just go with it. I’ve have had this debate recently too about calorie counting.

Not too sweet, just a touch of sweetness. I really love that they are in single serving packets and you actually get a lot of cookies/packet. Delicious! :) Oh, I buy them at WF.
