6 Binge-Free Days
Hi everyone,
I just needed to post that I have gone 6 full days without a binge and am doing well on day 7 -- sounds like a commercial that's running on TV right now !!!
It has taken me literally months to figure out the causes for my binges, and while emotional eating is a HUGE component, that is easier for me to manage then the binging that seemed to happen for no reason.
So, I started reading and reading and reading and trying variations in my diet to figure out what my triggers are that lead to a binge.
And the result is ...... sweet foods that do not contain protein trigger binges.
I usually have a protein bar or protein shake for snacks and I do not have binge issues with those.
The problem is if I eat something like a Skinny Cow, a meal replacement bar or one of the 100 calorie packs of snacks, within 10 minutes I am inhaling whatever I can find in the kitchen.
The lesson for me is that when I have a snack, it has to have at least 5 grams of protein for me to not go into binge mode.
I am interested to hear what others have experienced as well !!!
