I decided I'm going to make myself a place here where I can put my stats, and then just link to the same ongoing post. For now this will just be days since last binge, and how well I'm doing with the regular pre-breakfast exercise. No weight numbers. I know that makes me seem chicken - well I
am 
- but that's not the reason. [No - that's not my current picture in my avatar - that's the way I looked before I started
binge eating in 2008 and regained the weight I'd lost in 2007. That's my
goal avvie.
]
I check my weight every morning because I see that's a common habit of long term
weight loss maintainers, but I know my scales are vague and inaccurate and I really just use it as a bit of a guide. I don't want to get hung up on the numbers and I know that once I start recording them, I will get hung up on them to some extent. I want to be handling the
binge eating a lot more reliably and have some specific reason to record them, before I start paying good attention to good scales again (if I ever do).
These are stats of the things I'm actually focusing on. I think recording binges will give me a bit more incentive to actively challenge binging behaviour when I feel like I want to binge. This is separate to the ongoing things I do to try and prevent myself from wanting to binge in the first place.
Also I think having a record will make it easier for me to be sure that the progress I believe I'm making is actually happening - that I am actually continuing to improve as far as this behaviour goes. If I put it here, I'm more likely to actually maintain the record.
