Well, i’m here to report that i just caved in. For some reason i just needed to binge a little today. I wanted creamy foods and a lot of them. So, i want to add up my calories and see if there is any salvaging today.
Fiber1 cereal (160), skim milk (60), homemade tortilla pizza (320), 2 cups of coffee (10) with splenda and cream (20). Then the creamy binge: ambrosia (163), tapioca pudding (90), light cool whip (100) and a strawberry cottage chesse double (130). The little binge alone was 483. Today’s subtotal is 1053.
It’s not my worst binge by any means. I suppose as long as i do some exercise and just have a sandwich for dinner, i ought to be okay. I’m gonna have a few cups of coffee and i may even have a square of chocolate tonight. I have to admit, i am stressed that i let myself go off plan like that. I’m stuck with this image of myself with a stack of goodies and a spoon, bringing them into the living room and checking my email while i open package after package. I didn’t even walk back and forth to the fridge. I knew what i was doing, i just let myself go.
Update:
Well, i did it again. This time i really let go. And i knew it, i just let myself do it. It was liked i missed my old binging lifestyle, i was feeling nostalgic or something stupid and/or psychological.
I had a late meeting tonight, so i made my sandwich for the trip and ate it on the drive. Ham (45) and harvati (90) on low cal bread (70). I thought i was in control because on the way home i was craving everything. I passed Applebees i wanted steak, I passed Buffalo Wild Wings i wanted hot wings, I passed Long Johns and i wanted fish, I passed the Chinese place i wanted seafood rolls. I passed Dairy Queen i wanted a cheeseburger. Basically whatever was on their marquee sounded good to me. But, i made it home without stopping.
I came in and had my dark chocolate square (63) like i had planned. It wasn’t enough… and so the real binge begins. Let’s see: strawberry cottage cheese double (130), another square of dark chocolate (63) a grilled cheese with american (45) and cheddar cheese (80) on low cal bread (70) with butter (20), an orange (45), a serv of chips (160), and another strwberry cottage cheese double (130). So far, i seem done. Tho i admit i could go for another of those grilled cheeses. But my belly says i am done. The binge alone was 743.
Today’s totals: 2064 calories and 25 min wii fit cardio.




Good attitude. We need a treat every once in a while and what you did wasn’t bad at all!
January 21, 2009 @ 3:52 pmIt was a good attitude… Too bad it didn’t last all night.
January 21, 2009 @ 10:00 pmWait til you see my evening update.
You are just fine! At least you can admit when you’ve gone off course and now you can get right back on!!!
January 22, 2009 @ 7:46 amThanks so much for that comment. I agree. It’s awesome to be able to have other people sharing what they’re going through and how they are able to conquer it as well as offer support. It means a lot.
January 22, 2009 @ 2:41 pmWow!! Its amazing how I am feeling the exact same way you felt. all week I have been thinking of food. EVERYTHING sounded good. I finally caved yesterday and just had a full blown binge. (I too think i just needed it). You did good tho. I didn’t even track my binge. Im sure it was a few thousand calories if not more. I had chili, ice cream, starbucks, home made biscuits and gravy and home made french toast with sausage. yummy! I am totally back on track and feel much better mentally today. I think some times (not too often) but sometimes, we need to just let loose
