Suffering the Consequences of my first binge
 

Ended up having a full day of binging the day before my weigh in at the bariatrician's office. To be fair, I only ate off plan because my power went out due to some construction or whatever down the road. But I could have chosen to get healthier food than I did. And I could have chosen a single portion instead of bringing home enough leftovers to take a full day off of my diet. Since I was taking a strong Banaba leaf supplement that my doctor gave me it didn't dramatically affect the scale.

Unfortunately it knocked me out of ketosis and I'm having some serious carb cravings. -_- Fortunately I'm broke and don't have any more junk food in my house so I pretty much have to stick to the plan now but I'm still going insane. :dizzy::dizzy::dizzy:

I'm going to go exercise to distract myself when my gym opens. Does anyone have other methods for controlling their cravings?

I think your idea of going to the gym is a good one. I often will go for a walk, or otherwise occupy myself physically when I have cravings. Since I'm religious, I will sometimes simply promise God "I won't eat that today" and since I don't want to break a promise to God that pretty much keeps me in line. But cravings are the worst. Good luck!

I feel MUCH better after the swim, I think part of the problem was that I was incredibly bored but it's too hot outside for a hike.

don't let 1 meal, 1 day or 1 weekend derail you. If 80% of your meals are great you should see positive results. That's 8 or 9 meals a week if you slip up. Long term thought process has really helped me.
