I was just wondering how tall you are? I used to be the exact same way, its crazy. I started all this at 139 and right away I got down to 134. I did so well during the school week, never more than 500 cals and then the weekends came. Normally I could hold out until like 3ish or so or even until dinner, then I would binge. I was always so mad at myself every monday and I hated it. I'm not sure what I did other than promise myself to try harder the following weekend. Find something that will motivate you. It can be done. One thing that I found that helped me was I promised myself that I wouldn't ever binge again. If you are a persone that generally can keep promises with other people, try this and be totally serious with yourself.
On saturday I weighed myself (now that I am in college and living in the dorms, I don't have a scale...i went home this past weekend) and I was 122.5! I was so happy , that is the lowest I have been in about 5 months.
Try getting the junk food out of your house, buy good food, so if you do binge then it is on like carrots, grapes, celery, plums, etc..thats what I like to eat a lot of. So even in you blow it just remember that you will be able to do better next time.
My AIM sn is doglover90298 if you or anyone else that reads that wants to IM me then we can talk!
take care
becky
