I gave up sugar for Lent. It wasn't as hard as I thought. I actually liked not having to fit desserts in. Easter I will once again be able to eat sweets. I am soooo scared. I told my trainer that I think I am going to allow myself only 5 mins...because I am afraid it will make me sick. Guess we will see what happens. Wanted to tell you...instead of being down about what you ate...be happy for how long you DIDN'T eat it.
I've been cutting down and having success, but I had a binge last month of eating 800 calories worth of ice cream and some hardening chocolate topping. I stopped 'early' because it didn't taste as good as it used to.
I'm lucky - it used to be much more at half of the ice cream plus almost all of the topping bottle. (Maybe 2000?)

I could easily eat one of those sees chocolate butter eggs in 5 minutes. They are about 1000 kcal
I used to gorge constantly, on both sugary and non-sugary foods. It's embarrassing to admit how much I could shove down my throat.
Eating half a pizza or more? No problem. On my binge days, I could eat half a dozen donuts in the morning, then a junk food lunch (like spending $14 off the Taco Bell value menu ), chased down with a dozen cookies, then a full dinner. And a pint of my friends Ben and Jerry for dessert.
Sad thing is, I could very easily return to this behavior...

Ugh. I had a day like that last week. Big flippin' fail.
Yesterday I od'd on sugary treats at a party(
Mind you I had given up sugar a month ago. I justified it with thinking ' well everyone else is...'. Ugh! I am so disappointed in my lack of control
I have gorged myself on sugar more times than I want to admit to, LOL.
Add me to the group who is a sugar lover and a cheese lover. I could eat chocolate, cheese and cashews all day long. Or at least I could if I wasn't counting carbs or calories and didn't mind the bloat it would bring on the next day.

Happened to me a couple of times, once when my husband and kids ordered pizza I couldn't help myself and had 3 slices! Then again yesterday I had 3 cups of ice cream but it's because I've been craving it for a month. After I get my fill I feel guilty but than I decide I'll exercise for an extra 30 min tomorrow and it's probably good to surprise your body every once in a while. It's not the end of the world and keep moving forward!
During the week, I eat around 1200 calories, and then I have a cheat day to keep from plateauing. I eat around 2k calories on my cheat day and I eat whatever I want.
