Bletch, I am coming here because I am feeling tempted to binge! But I WILL stay strong. I am working from home and I have just grazed for the past 20 mins and I am cutting myself off now.
my personal trainer said something that i hadn't thought of: "You have overcome a huge stereotype that you put on yourself- Kim is now a fit strong woman who is teaching others the same-well done!!" I hadn't realised it that way...but i guess if you go from 320lbs to 178 and start teaching classes, it is almost like "biggest loser" ...
*pointing* That! Right there! "Almost like TBL!?!?!?!?!?!" Sweetie, you are one of those people that they would FEATURE because you did it all at home! Look at how far you've come! You're amazing! You're very inspirational to those of us who are still at the beginning of their journeys. For sure!!
Day 42 here and loving it! Every new day is a gift and I am really appreciating it!
I hate two small bags of baked Doritos today! That is a small binge, but not something I really wanted to eat at all. I should have had one, but had two. I now have to calculate how many points that gives me.
I just binged on like 3 handfuls of dry roasted peanuts and had a cup of coffee and it's 3:40am.. oi. I'm worried that I will gain now, but I guess that wouldn't be so bad right about now since I've been at plateau for like 2 weeks. Is it healthy to eat anything I want one day to jumpstart my metabolism again?
BethC don't beat yourself coz of that, because getting up again is what successful people do!
60lbs to go, that's awesome! Congrats!
Jojo, both ups and downs are part of the way, just keep going and you're going to make it!
JellyBean, great job on those 80lbs gone!
My humble opinion is that you should eat at your maintenance level or slightly above it, but still try to stay away from too much processed food. Just because they are quickly addictive. Try to increase protein intake. If you need some lenience do have a piece of cake, some chocolate or whatever is your favourite but don't over do it.
Ladies, stay strong! For me personaly, weekend is always tougher than week days, but I planned out this one and I still have that begginer determination.
I made a 3FC blog and it is interesting to blog and it helps my accountability
I'm on day 3 and two pounds lighter then my official SW

so i just enjoyed three wonderful cookies... i decided i had the room in my calories today to enjoy them... i am doing my best not to feel guilty... i work hard every day and i didnt eat anything else or binge... i decided to eat them, and i savored them ... nothing wrong with that ... right??? then why do i feel guilty? and of course, now i want more!!! deep breath... move on... big hugs to all you ladies who are overcoming this binge monster!
Day 17- We went to the farmer's market, of course all the food smelled so good and made me hungry. I found 1 container of mixed fresh fruit at this one stand for $1.50, that's what I ate. But then I saw candy, I had to get the blackberry candy corn & cherry jelly slices. I ate 10 candy corn & 5 cherry slices, when I got home I wanted to keep going, I ate 1 mini three musketeer mint, 3 hershey kisses & 2 servings of Nutella. I considered that my dinner and that was it. I don't consider it a binge, I wasn't out of control & ended up having 2000 calories for the day.
Thanks Hotchild! Good luck on the blog. I find writing so healing, and it is good to keep progress by a blog! I'll have a look!
happytobe and fruitlady, congrats on keeping within your calorie requirements. I know the guilty feeling, Kim!

I said 'no' to a donut today. I was offered a free donut from Tim Hortons at work. I said no..that was a big step considering I love donuts!
