Good for you!
My lack of interest in food continues, LaMa you may be right perhaps something has given up on getting me to listen. Who knows. I've decided to go with it for a few days and not eat any more than I want. I will be careful not to starve, and more importantly not lead me to a binge, given my history anything usually leads me to binge. If it lasts more than a few days, or if I start feeling weak of slow I'll end it.
Let's not binge tomorrow.

I understand, and that is the way I was all my life up until a couple of weeks ago. I doubt this is a permanent change, and like most ever other thing I need to make sure it doesn't trigger a binge. It did not today. Oh, and no matter what I am eating I still love food, that hasn't gone away, and I certainly hope it doesn't.
I wrote in my diary about going back to the 1,000 calorie minimum, seems the rational thing to do.

Good for Petal and LaMa, no binge here either. LaMa, as you know, some chocolate ain't no binge.
Yes Petal, I think it is, and I think I actually feel a little better now. I just started eating a little more earlier in the day, that way I don't have the big deficit to try and make up in the evenings. I may not lose weight quite as fast, but it's better, and I think I will still be losing just fine. As you say Petal I am eating less than y'all even now. But I need to, I have more weight to lose than you. Just noticed that now some days, when the fog clears and I look real hard, I think I may be able to see some light at the end of the tunnel.
Lets not binge tomorrow.

To say I binged today wouldn't be quite correct but the effect is the same: over the course of the day I just kept grazing without wanting to think/thinking about it and it ended up being ~350g of sweets and two medium-sized bags of corn chips plus some cheese on top of a healthy breakfast and lunch. Prepped for tomorrow (as I did for today...) and will try to do better.

Thanks Petal, and you are probably right about not having much effect on the weight loss.
LaMa, what will you do tomorrow that will help? Got a plan?
I struggled again today with the not wanting to eat thing. I ended up forcing myself to eat a couple of snacks that I did not really want just to get over the 1,000 calories. I have decided to keep doing that if I have to, but I will make a more diligent effort tomorrow to eat more earlier in the day. I am still beside myself over this, never in my life have I had to force myself to eat anything, it's always come was too easily, way too easily. I am not sure I can say I home it lasts, some how the old me was more comfortable. Any way no binge here today.
Lets not binge tomorrow.

No binge here today, and I did better with how I distributed my eating, a bit more at meals, a bit less in evening snacks.
I have been feeling a bit impatient about weight loss, kind of a feeling of when is this ever going to end. I want to be at my goal right now. I know these feelings are irrational, I am doing fine, but they are real. I also know that this kind of thinking in past diets has lead me to binge. I kind of give up and think what the hell, if I can't lose it right now go ahead and eat. I have not gotten to that point, but have to be careful I don't. I keep reminding myself that doing this I actually feel better than I have in years, why would I want it to end? Doesn't always help though. Enough rambling.

Rob it will happen and it is happening for you al it quicker than you ever anticipated. I understand all your though processes . As I have had them all at points over all the years of trying to lose weight .
The only thing I haven’t had is the not wanting to eat and I would love that lol.
I struggled yesterday . I did a bit like you LaMa , grazing on and off . Mostly In the late afternoon . Thursday I ate just enough probably and because of stress aka tiredness yesterday it caught me up .
no binging but it could have been . I thought about it a lot.
I think I’m ok today
Hope everyone else is too

Well done Petal. Rob can you put your finger on what part of your goal you´re looking forward to/you can´t wait for? Anything you could make a start on already?
I binged. No way to make it sound better. I binged. And I´m sick of starting out every day with good intentions and proper plans and then throwing it all away for something that isn´t even that good. I don´t know why this is happening right now and that makes it hard for me to figure out how to stop it.

LaMa you are not alone . I struggled today too . I ate 3 healthy meals . But I wanted sweet stuff . I know for my it’s because I am tired and a bit fed up . Weather is totally horrific.
I ate about 5 of my Slim world supply of bars this eve . In the grand scheme of things it’s not too bad but I kind of feel on a slippy slope . The last one I had is actually horrible , a new flavour and it has Made me feel ill .
I am thinking if I only eat food I am totally allowed between now and Wednesday I could probably negate today’s and yesterday crap .
I’m going to totally resist tomorrow. Have too
Let’s do better tomorrow it’s the start of a new week .

Hey Petal, I have been down that slope too many times, I know what you are feeling now. I also know you are a strong woman, you can resist the slide, I know you can.
I don't know either, all I can tell you is what I do. When I can't figure out why I just don't do it. I am not sure we'll ever figure out all the whys, but we need to stop. I know such advice is easier to give than take, I have many more years doing what happened to you today than I want to think about. Can you just not binge tomorrow? I think you can.
If there is anything I, or anyone else here can do to help either of you please let us know. Here's a hand to help steady you!

No binge here today, and I did better with more meals and fewer snacks to get to my 1,000 calories. It wasn't too hard.
LaMa and Petal, have a better day today, that's and order! You seem like a couple of ladies who need a man to tell you what to do! Said in jest as he ducks...
Thank you Petal, its good to not feel alone in this.
No, as I said I think its irrational. When I think about I cannot think of anything I would rather be doing right now so far as eating goes. But sometimes the feeling, even though irrational, can be strong. Today was a bit better.
I don't really think I am, actually most of the time I am pretty happy with what I am doing. Its just an irrational yearning for something.
