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

Weight-Loss
Good for you Petal, no binge is a good thing.
Sidewalk we say path
Trashcan we say bin
Didn't know the path one, is that Irish or UK also? From TV and movies y'all probably know most of our language quirks, will try a couple you might not.

Rarer than hen's teeth, something that is quite uncommon. My grandparents and parents said it, me not so much.

Hamaknocker a word used to describe something remarkable, usually a person on an animal. When looking at kids playing wildly you might say "look at those little hamaknockers" or when seeing a particularly large alligator, "look at that hamaknocker". I believe this one is very limited, the only place I ever heard it was in a small part of North Florida, the part I used to live in. I didn't learn it growing up, but do now use it occasionally.

I did not binge today, and was not very tempted. I stayed very busy, which helps.

Lets not binge tomorrow.
 
No binge here today. For the past couple of weeks my urges have definitely dropped, which is good. But the last time I said that they came back, so I will be careful.

Lets not binge tomorrow.
 
Rob they are Uk terms as well as Irish. Have head of the hen teeth expression except it's more like " it's like pulling a hens teeth" .

I never heard of hamakocker but I like it .

We call lots of things yokes . Like if my husband wanted the remote control he might say " pass me that yoke "

I was very tired yesterday and definitely had binge urges . I didn't binge again however because I had nothing much to binge on.

I'm pleased you have no urges at the moment .
 
Good for you Petal, and not having temptation in the house is smart.
" pass me that yoke "
Thanks, that's new to me, not sure it would work here, nobody would know what I was talking about. How about calling giving birth dominoing? Like when referring to a pregnant woman "it appears that lady is about to domino". My grandparents used it a lot, and my father from time to time, I don't so much and here in Utah no one would understand, it's quite regional.

No binge here today, and no strong urges, hope that lasts. I am headed to Phoenix tomorrow and will be meeting old friends for dinner, it will be a challenge, they like really upscale places and lots of food. But are good people I can probably explain, and when they see me I think they will know I am dieting.

Lets not binge tomorrow.
 
No binge yesterday, and did fine with friends at dinner. Went to a nice Mexican place. It did take some concentration to limit what I ate, if I had not been thinking about it I would have cleaned the plate I am sure. But after eating about half of what was served I just picked the plate up and put it out of reach. I was being driven to eat more by habit than craving.

Lets not binge today.
 
No binge today, I was in Phoenix until about 3 and then flew home. Things in Phoenix were hectic and I didn't get much to eat, I did think about a big dinner meal to catch up, but decided not and just ate normally. Leaving me short for the day. Not exactly a craving but kind of like one.

Let's not binge tomorrow.
 
Hi Rob sorry I not been here last couple of days but kudos to you . Well done . no binging here either .
no binge Thursday
 
sorry I not been here last couple of days
Hey Petal, it is always nice to see you here, but you have nothing to be sorry for, you didn't binge, and that's what really matters. You are doing great!

No binge here today and no sever cravings, but I have one of my binge nightmares last night. It has me thinking about things, and reminded me that even though I have been without bingeing for almost 9 months now I could easily fall off that wagon anytime. And maybe when I have been without strong cravings for a while and I get over confident is a high risk time. Diligence one day at a time.

Lets not binge tomorrow.
 
No binge today, actually the opposite problem, I am having trouble getting interested enough in eating to get to my 1,000 calorie minimum. Didn't make it today, but I am close. As I sit here posting I feel quite full, not the least bit interested in eating anything more. I just don't trust my instincts with respect to food, I know things could change very quickly. It may sound strange but I worry that this will cause me to let my guard down leading to higher binge risk. Oh, well I should just be happy that I did not binge today and not stress over things.

Lets not binge tomorrow.
 
No binge here today, but in the afternoon I was tempted. I managed to control it, and in the end probably ate too little as the result.

I had days like that and they´d often end with me being so hungry I overate by quite a bit. Talking about not trusting your instincts: I´m back. I binged yesterday but I´m going to take good care of my body today.
 
Well done Rob on not giving in. LaMa I don't feel saying " nice to see you back " fits here but a big welcome and I'm sure it wasn't a huge binge.

Struggled last night and I know tired and anxiety the cause. Really no one size fits all.

Interesting Rob I find the days I don't eat enough I'm starving the day after. But I give in and eat. I never do hungry well.
 
Me neither. But then the days after I binge I usually struggle as well, so... I binged today :banghead: I actually considered logging on and writing here instead of stuffing myself but I didnae wanna. Because I really wanted to gorge myself on rich foods. Trying again tomorrow. Here´s something: if tomorrow I really want to repeat today´s food intake I first have to come on here and write about it. After that I won´t be angry at myself if I do it, but I HAVE to process my thoughts and feelings first. See if anything comes up.
 
Well I think you writing after about it is good sign . Can I suggest you don’t shop tomorrow maybe . Or have you a stock at home . Write don’t bite maybe again .
I didn’t binge today but I did have a few extra things I should not have . Nothing too major but I know it’s tiredness .
Soeaking of which it’s bed time here . :sleeping:
 
No binge here today, it was another of those days I had to struggle to eat enough. Something I am still amazed about, but I know it probably can't be depended on to last.
I´m back. I binged yesterday
LaMa much as I enjoy your posts, like Petal I will resist saying good to see you back here. And I also agree with Petal, this one was probably less than your old binges. Now you just need to figure out how to make it a one of.
I find the days I don't eat enough I'm starving the day after
I used to be like that, but of late I am the opposite, it seems the less I eat the less I want. A very strange feeling to me. As I said before I don't trust my eating desires or lack of them much. I don't do hungry well either, that's why I eat a lot of snacks. And Petal eating a few things not on your plan is not a binge, it sounds to me more like a manageable behavior, I know you'll do fine tomorrow.

That's a great idea, and if you do that I will be happy to see you back!

Let's not binge tomorrow.
 
Thanks Petal and Rob.

That must be SO convenient for now! In the grand scheme of things I do find it a bit worrying. As if your body has given up on getting you to listen. I hope you´ll be able to reverse that in a healthy way once you´re at goal :grouphug:
 
9:15 am. Just ate a big, delicious breakfast (wholegrain bread, feta, veggies, and a ton of fruit) and already I´m feeling the urge to go to the grocery store and get chocolate. Which is so annoying! I´ll be drinking more water for now, see if that helps. Will probably be back here later.
 
LaMa keep your wallet locked up !!
Good breakfast , it sounds nice .
you can stick this out . It’s hard when your mindset wants chocolate .
 
LaMa keep your wallet locked up !!
:D That would´ve been excellent but I needed to go grocery shopping anyway. By now I´ve decided the reason for my weekend binging really was my feeling deprived (plus I´m awfully cold for some reason) so today is "eat whatever you like as long as the amounts are reasonable".
