we're doing great
day 15 for me, 16 more till the end of the month. i weighed myself today and have lost about 8+ pounds since i stopped binging!!! this week is gonna be hard due to sooo much studying but if i managed the last two weeks i can manage the next two also.
So glad I found you! Hope you don't mind if I jump in. I do well during the week and when the weekends hit all **** breaks lose! Plus I just got so mad with my husband I went straight for the chocolate. When will this madness end?
day 6!
why is the the more days i stay on plan, the more nervous i get. its like i feel an impending binge is looming, even though i dont feel any desire to do so....i guess its the first time in a long time i have been OP and its scary (weird!)
also i find that i want to eat when im not hungry. if a few hours have passed without food, i tend to get up and go make food. like in my head its time. but if i step back and listen to my body, i can feel that im not hungry yet. habit that will pass?
Got through Day 7 yesterday but it was really hard. Had a larger dessert than planned, but savoured it and happily the scale is down some more today. It reminds me that I can eat more than I think and maintain due to the amount of exercise I do, it's the binging that causes the problem, so going to keep my focus on not binging and try to stop stressing over eating a little more than I would normally plan to sometimes, if it stops a binge then it's worth it.
Cathy, it ends when we end it. Eating is just something we love to do, a favorite past time. Other people fight smoking, drugs, sex, or gambling. This body of ours loves pleasure, and if we let it, it will get us in a lot of trouble.
And that's what this forum is about. We learn from each other how to say no.
Day 10 completed successfully yesterday which I'm really happy about. Ate half a protein bar after my PT session and that seemed to set me off with cravings for the rest of the day. Ended up having the other half an hour before dinner because I was so hungry and cravey, then after dinner I was very full, not uncomfortably full, but very full all the same. I would usually have had a snack last night while watching tv and the voice kept saying "oh, just have a little one" but I knew I wasn't hungry. Also after such a hard PT session and feeling very full I knew I'd see a gain on the scale today and didn't want to feel like an extra snack had caused the gain, so although it was hard I just said no to myself.
Yes, the scale is up today, but I've got a severe came of the DOMS and I'm proud I held strong yesterday, so I know it will come down again.
Onto Day 11. Everytime I make the right food choice, choosing the most pleasure over the longest time, I feel happier, healthier and stronger.
