So as some of you are aware, I've been having some binging issues these last few weeks. I'm pretty certain it's almost a delayed reaction to a very stressful end of 2010 and some problems with being bored...also maybe a little anxiety about this new phase of the journey.
Anyway, my binging is usually a big issue Friday and Saturday evenings. Well this Friday I dug in and didn't binge at all, and with my new strategy of eating cleaner foods and more food during the week it wasn't too difficult. The urge to binge was there, but managable with a little distraction.
Saturday I did really good all the way through my evening snack and then I'm not sure what happened, but a minor binge did occur. However, my choices about what I binged on were far superior and cleaner than normal. Mainly because I rid the house of most of my trigger foods. So progress there. My strategy with Friday's has been to "label" them as an "on plan" day and I'm thinking that it may be time to do the same with Saturday's, leaving Sunday's as my only free day. It sucks that I need so many rules, but I have serious control issues and if that's the way it has to be so be it. I'm not a naturally thin person, but I'm still going to be a thin person
So this week I'm planning to continue on the new path and see how things go. Unfortunately, there's a little family drama going on with my dad, but I'm just trying to let it go - this too shall pass and there is no reason to turn to food over anxiety too
