Hi,
I've been on Ideal Protein since 1/18/13 and I've lost about 40-ish lbs. I started at 229, and am now at ~184. For the passed month-month and a half, I haven't been able to resist the urge to cheat and have been compulsively eating. As you all know, IP isn't cheap; so I don't know how to stop this vicious cycle of me losing weight, only to gain it or to stay at the same weight.
I've had enough of this, and it's beginning to tear my family apart. Please advise the best way possible, be blunt, be crude, whatever. I need to change myself.
Looking back, I've felt it was easier to diet while I was at school, taking classes in University. Now, with the summer, although I am still taking a few classes, I have a lot more downtime, and have found myself looking through the house for food to binge on (Ugh, I hate that word). At the end of each week, I feel like complete crap, and tell myself that I will not cheat anymore... Only to cheat again-- compulsively.
I know anything I say is just an excuse, and there shouldn't be any excuses when it comes to your health.
Please advise me, or tell me what has worked for you.
Thank you,
Laura
