Great news!!
I hope you can avoid the slide. The way I avoid it is by not having the first bite of something like a cupcake, I find abstinence from that kind of thing a lot easier the moderation. But to each their own, hoping you can find the happy place.
Petal, thanks for your kind words, it helps me to see y'all succeed.
No binge here today, and no strong urges, it was a good day.
Let's not binge tomorrow.

No binge for me yesterday either and I noted that after I had my dinner I was happy to be done for the day . Hope we all have a binge free weekend.
Shannon I more or less have stopped baking sadly . I did make sweet scones a few weeks back and they were diverted to the freezer after we ate a few

LaMa, you're completely right about the last few bites... I did enjoy both cupcakes which I hate hours apart (one for testing purposes and one because cupcakes!), but when it was over I was almost underwhelmed lol I just hope the kids liked them 
Mindless eating is a bish and I try to either avoid it if possible or eat a set amount like a bag of popcorn or whatever. As long as it fits in the calories, it should be good... but don't listen to me... I'm like 500+ over today lol
Rob - I could have avoided eating the cupcakes, but I felt that I should at least test the batch before sending them off... I'm glad that I had a plan that I set yesterday which has taken some of the guilt out of the equation which I'm thrilled about! I'm hoping tomorrow will be a much cleaner day.
Petal - it sucks that you had to give up baking I understand why that is, but I'm only just starting out and I'm flipping lovin' it! Baking junk food isn't the wisest thing on the regular, esp if I am not able to share too much at the moment given COVID, so I am going to challenge myself to start looking at healthy recipes instead of just packing it in. I have been searching for something to be this passionate and excited about for years and this caught me by surprise hehe
In summation, as previously mentioned, I ate the 2 cupcakes which were ok - not great though - so I can put that in my "Nah" recipe folder along with the almost egg bread recipe lol The cookies I had put aside have been ransacked, so I took 3, but have not eaten them. Perhaps tomorrow or the next day - or maybe I'll donate them lol

A kind of trifecta, no real binges for LaMa, Petal, and Shannon, but a few calories more than ideal. Not a terrible thing. Always trying to improve is what counts.
No binge here yesterday, and with the birthday cake and all it was a bit of a struggle, but I made it. A good day in all.
Let's not binge today!

No real binge here today, either. I am feeling uncomfortably full from my pancake dinner though... Also a little disappointed with my choice of dinner, but considering I had a sweet tooth all day and didn't eat the cookies I stashed away, I'll call it a sort of win.
I'm definitely eating salad tomorrow. I can sense myself longing for the nutrients lol

LaMa and Shannon, not bingeing is important, even if you ate a bit more that ideal. Good for you both.
No binge here today, but this afternoon I had some pretty powerful cravings, I think it was my inactivity today. The weather was very cold and windy, I spent a lot of the day stoking my fire and trying to stay warm.

Good for you Petal and LaMa!!
No binge here today, but I did struggle, in the afternoon I felt hungry and craving, tried eating a snack. It did not help, I just had to tough it out. I do have a confession, we had a few donuts left over from the weekend, I took a bite of one for no good reason. Just one bite then I caught myself and threw then out. This is not the first bite of sweets I have had, a few bites of birthday cakes and a pie, but only things that were kind of special and I was trying to partake in the party a little. This was different I was alone and the donuts were just store bought junk food. Oh well, one small bite won't hurt me, but it did not feel right...

Agreed with Err!
No GOOD reason. But there was a reason, right? Could you say what it was?
Didn't binge today. Came close, but didn't. Was tired, cold, and kind of annoyed, and I do have a tendency to comfort eat rather than addressing my problems. Got an email from my lawyer (which never fails to make me anxious) and was frustrated because I couldn't come up with a fun project for Sis2's present as well, and neither of those helped.

Good for you LaMa, close but no binge is good news! Thanks to Err and LaMa, I know stopping was a good thing. And LaMa, the only reason for the bite was the usual binge reasons, I wanted it, irrationally. Fortunately I have been long enough without a binge to recognize what I was doing and stopped.
No binge here today, I did have a few urges, wanted to eat a lot in the afternoon, but nothing unmanageable.
