Nelly's diary ^^

Hello, out there, Nelly! :seeya: What's doing?
 
I'm at 80.5 kg :/
I can't help but eat like 2400 cal a day or so every few days (and thoses phases last 3-4 days). Been like this for the last two weeks. Don't know why :(
 
Maybe because you have a tendency to eat very low calories, the body sees that as a threat, and it fights back with more hunger and cravings. If that's the case being extra kind to yourself and working on relaxation might help.

Well, that's a bit gloomy for you - but it's not a huge gain, just back about where you were three weeks ago, I think? You're still in the 170s! :) Take it easy, and don't be discouraged.
What sort of food is it that you're turning to, when these 2400-calorie days hit? Maybe that could give a clue as to how to break the pattern?
 
Hey Nelly, good to hear from you.

You can do this, I know you can. Just keep after it and you'll be fine.

Do you have a plan now? A daily calorie goal? Do you track your food, that really has helped me.

Just keep on posting and working at it, you'll win.

Im really scared I won't be able to control it...I will eat ANYTHING and it's not out of hunger/sweet tooth or anything like that. I just need to keep eating and eating and eating. just need something in my mouth. Usually it's apple sauce, natural yogurt, microwave dishes, cheese, fruit, rice cakes, cucumbers, pasta, cereal, baby tomatoes, basically anything I have under hand. I really need help with this, It's fucking me up and it's happening every two-three days. It's making me really depressed and guilty all the time.

I know it's not that horrible, it's not like I gained a few kilos back. But still….

I'm going to try to eat a little more, like around 1200-1400 for now. Going to ask my parents to lock up all my food up again except what i'm going to eat during the day. Going to try to have two-three distinct meals and not eat in between. Going to try to drink a lot more water (always before eating). Will try to maybe not eat in front of a labtop/phone (I think it's related) and to try to take my time to eat so I can feel when I'm not hungry anymore plus learn how to eat slower. I always eat so fast. Plus let myself have a day every two weeks where I can have a cheat meal.

Going to eat like that for a week or two, time for this to be settled. Then I may lower it a little more. But I'll always keep a few days a week where I eat 1200-1400.
 
That all sounds like really good planning, Nelly. Good for you!
Yes, good idea not to try going too low in calories.
Locking up the food is one tactic - but it might make your parents feel like jailers! Could you instead just take yourself right away from the food - after breakfast, just head out the door for a long walk to the nearest park? (Or the second nearest, if the nearest one is too close!)
Yes, for sure about not eating while on the phone or the laptop - I have had too many packets of crackers disappear that way myself! It's a real trap! And for sure, too, about eating more slowly, and drinking water - it'll all help.
Best wishes for putting all these good plans into action - and here's to the next step on the scales showing more cheerful news! :)
 
Three days in, been eating good again. Even better actually. 500-1400-500. Have had urges, resisted them. Really just stems it seems from stress, feeling shit and wanting tasty food to munch on in front of my computer. It seems now. Made myself think whenever I wanted to eat something else.
Lost a few hundred grams back at 177.2
Need to lose two pounds to get back where I was before this binge thing
 
You'll get there! I'm banking on the three-day 170s Club team effort. :)

By the way - munching in front of the computer can be a trap - when your mind's distracted it's really easy to eat without even noticing - and then before you know it, there's the whole packet of [whatever] gone!
 
actually nvm I'm 174.6 :):)

I weighed myself at 3 am, now at 8 am I'm litterally a pound lighter lol. I verified this like 10 times. But yea it's true. Tomorrow I'm going to maybe even be at 173. At this rate I'll be in the 160's by the end of the week!!! I'm eating very very little since the binge that's why (mostly cos I'm so not hungry now at all lmaooo)
 
Goals for february:
-Sunday 16th : 172lbs/78 kg
-Wednesday 19th: 170lbs/77 kg :blush5: 60's & BMI of 25
-Sunday 23rd: 167lbs/76 kg
-Wednesday 26th: 165/75kg
-Sunday 30th: 163lbs/74kg :blush5: Healthy BMI (24.9)

If I stick to my diet I should be able to do this. I want to start march at a healthy weight!!
I'll edit if I do better or worse.

It's the 27th and I'm litterally at 176 pounds. gained a pound since the 15th. I'm at a two month long plateau because I'm starting to binge/starve again :((
I could have been almost at 70 now if I had stayed on track since jan....

Yeah, and I I had invested in Apple stock when it first came out I'd be a billionaire today, doesn't matter, we can't change the past. You can however change the future, and in the long run it will make little difference if it happened in February or March. Not sure I can do much about the stock thing.

Can you just not binge or starve today? It would be a great start.

Just the fact that you are posting here shows that you are working on things, that's progress girl.
 
Rob is right - and from now is the time, and from here is the place to start heading to your future!

I've just challenged a few minutes ago challenged you over on the 170s Club to join me in a three-day focus to lose a pound by Monday - but his challenge is even more precisely focused - just for one day (today!) not to binge, not to purge, not to starve - but to eat moderately, of really good nutritious food. :) Yes! You can do it! Go, Nelly! :hurray:
