Another slip up! Had my first binge in 3 months the first week of Sept. Was good for a couple weeks, but probably stupidly started feeling "safe to add more carbs".
Not sure what caused the last binge, but Sun pm - Wed pm was one big binge
About 5K cals a day each of those days.
Decided Thurs am to restart by very basic, very low sugar/carb eating plan to ensure safe, binge free eating. I tend to follow this for 3 weeks, to mentally and physically detox. Day 2 and so far, so good.
I was amazed at how my body reacted. I hadnt weighed myself in the days before the binge, but I reasonably expect I weighed ~135, 137 max. By day 3 of the binge I weighed 149! More impressively by day 4 I weighed 158 (and looked 6mo pregnant). Day 5 I am down to 148. Guessing I will be down another several lbs tomorrow, still feel terribly bloated.
Just seems amazing and totally crazy my body could retain enough bloat to gain almost 20lbs in a matter of days. Sorry body, Im trying to be better.
