Weight-Loss No binge, no purge - one day at at time.

Weight-Loss
Vic I am always in awe that your binges seem to be reasonably healthy . I wonder should you eat a bigger meal during the day . I have doubled my lunch by eating soup . It’s very filling while low in calories.
Did good yesterday. Really pleased .

glad we all keeping a tab on this .
 
All the cravings today but I really want to get back in control lest I overeat all through my vacation (always a risk anyway). I. DID. NOT. BINGE! (Read in Captain Picard´s voice, specifically the way he said "THERE. ARE. FOUR. LIGHTS!")
 
Aw I like it Lama . I did not binge either !

although still 2 hours before bed but I don’t have any cravings . Feel satisfied again today

Today I’m fasting for the entire day. If I can... it’s about 130 and I’m not hungry.

Good all around! Vic, I hope the rest of your day went well.

LaMa, I liked the clip, even out of context its pretty easy to see that the four lights were pretty important to the Captain.

I did not binge today!

I have been thinking about where I am with bingeing. I am amazed that I have now gone a little over 5 months without bingeing, not something that has come naturally or easily. I think the hardest thing is not fighting off the sever cravings, those are limited in time and I have been able just to tough it out. What worries me more is that I always have some thought of eating more at a lower intensity level. Its always there, so long as I am awake anyway, and as I have said I've had a few binge nightmares, so sometimes when I am asleep too. Some times it is that weaker but persistent force that is most difficult to resist. For example the other day I was working in the yard, it was cold and then started to rain. I probably stayed out too long and got a bit chilled. When I went in I had this urge to eat something warm, and I know the urge was to eat a lot of something warm. I had a cup of coffee and that helped, but just didn't give me the same kind of satisfaction. Some times in dreams I envision it is as being in an infinite whirlpool, always being sucked into the center. When the water gets high its a fight, but then after the fight the water is always there, even if slower and less powerful pulling me into the vortex. I can't sit down or really rest, its always there. Hope this make some sense to y'all.

Lets not binge tomorrow!

I agree with that. And most if not all no-binge advice is geared towards those short-burst, severe cravings. In your case I do have some hope the slow-burn food... obsession (?) will get better once you´re back on a normal amount of daily calories. I remember a cartoon I used to read as a kid about a very average family where at one point the mother goes on a diet. All she does is read recipes and think about food. In the last panel her husband is looking at her in a rather horrified way while she says (insert happy-but-blank-eyed stare): "Did you know some animals eat their own kids?"
 
Rob I understand what you are saying . I think about food a lot and I’m always thinking of my next meal. It never goes away. But I put a lot of thought and effort into my food now. I try to make it nice and interesting. I recall my mom doing the cottage cheese diet. She lost so so much weight Quick but it piled back on super quick. I think you are approaching your weight loss in a great manner , slow steady and everything within reason. No binge in 5 months . You are mending so many bad habits . I think we all are .
 
I remember my mom doing a bread diet - where every other day she´d eat nothing but dry bread. That´s the only diet she was ever openly on though. I know both my parents have struggled with their weight at times but when we were younger they took care we wouldn´t notice.
I did not binge today. Consider my cravings restrained like poor half-Elsa.
 
Good for you Vic, I hope today went as well for you!

Thanks Petal, you put it very well I am trying to mend many bad habits. No perfection here, but progress. I have done diets like your Mother's, not cottage cheese but very low calorie, without much attention paid to nutrition. I did succeed in losing weight, some times pretty quickly, but it always came back, just a quickly.

Good for you LaMa, another no binge day, it has to make you feel better. Your mother's nothing but dry bread diet doesn't sound fun or sustainable. I can't recall one, but I am sure I've binged on dry bread.

Thanks for cheerleading Amy, it helps.

No binge here today, and I was less tempted than many days, I was fine.

Let's not binge tomorrow.
 
Rob I too have tried various quick fix diets but I love my food so I never stick to them . Also before every new fad diet I would start off with a binge the day before thinking the magic diet was going to be the cure . Who knew eating properly and well would both let me lose some weight and also still enjoy my food .
A good day yesterday again . Plenty of proper wholesome nutritional food . Do feel a little bloated today but hopefully that will pass as day goes by .
Well done Rob and Vic and Lama on no binges . And thanks for support Amy .
Happy Wednesday everyone .
 
Thanks for linking me this thread on my diary @alligatorob This really hits home reading the wiki article you posted.

I didn't binge today so taking this like everyone has said one day at a time :)

I don´t think I tried (m)any fad diets but man do I know the "I start dieting tomorrow so let´s make today count" mind-set.
Welcome to the party, Stu, and well done not binging today.
I didn´t binge today either, although I was very cravy after dinner and I actually had a box of Raffaello coconut balls in my bag. Present from a lovely client. Will take them with me on vacation with the goal of never eating more than two a day, preferably less.
 
Welcome Hibana . Or Stu I think ? nice forum here .
lama I tried a few fad diets in my time .
good idea on the rafellos . I love them .

Weigh might would be my weak night as I feel I can get away with some junk food but not going down that road tonight .
 
Good for you Petal, you have done real well.

Stu and LaMa, how did you do?

I didn't binge either, and the temptations were not too bad. At dinner I sat not 5 feet from this great looking desert table, and an 8 year old boy sat next to me with a huge piece of chocolate cake with orange (pumpkin colored icing) and I was not tempted to get any myself, it felt good. I will all days went so well.

Lets not binge tomorrow!
 
No binge today, I feel good.

Good for you LaMa, I know you will be tempted at your conference, but I also know you can do it!

Petal, I trust your weekend with company is going well.

Stu, check back in with us, hope all is well with you.

Vic, hope all is well with you.

Number 1 goal: No binge tomorrow!
 
No binge for me yesterday although I did have one scoop of ice cream but it was not a binge.
No binging today as I would never binge in front of people. Also I had to tell everyone I was dieting as it was obvious to them all I had lost weight. One of them going to join me now !!
Well done to you LaMa and Rob . We shall do again today .
