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

Weight-Loss
Did not b/p yesterday or today. I think I overate at lunch today.

Will do better tomorrow!!!
 
Hey Vic and LaMa, good to see you doing well. Vic, I agree with LaMa eating to fullness is not at all a binge. LaMa, I am happy to see you doing so well!

No binges for me, but yesterday I did eat a little more than I planned. For dinner I had a Cuban sandwich, my plan when I got it was to only eat half, but I gave in and ate it all. It pushed my calories up to about 1,400 for the day, not bad but a little more than I have been eating. Not a binge, but it was eating I did not plan or need. I have to be careful.

Let's not binge tomorrow!
 
You do have to be careful, and may have to be for life, but I'm glad you enjoyed that sandwich. Slippery slopes are really only a problem when you're wearing leather soles as an old man so unfit you need two hands to lift a water glass.. Which clearly has nothing to do with you.

Ate well today.
 
Thanks LaMa, I got a kick out of that. Maybe something I have to look forward to! Good for you eating well!

No binge here today, and no slippery slopes. We will see what tommorrow brings.

Let's not binge tomorrow!
 
I have to say Vic that even when I lost weight successfully - I used to have plates full of food... I was never into the nouvelle cuisine idea of a couple of items on a plate being a meal. A feeling of fulness is not a sign of over-eating - it can be good at putting you off high calorie nibbles which can be where the biggest dangers lie.

Well done for having good days.

My day was good too.
No treats and I avoided the curry pitfalls by putting lots of veg in and not bothering with rice or bread. We had a good sized plateful which actually was quite low on the calories and healthy.
 
I overdid it on chocolate and chips today. Felt more than a little sick. But at least I didn´t finish the entire bag of chips and when my stomach started growling around dinner time (despite my stomach still feeling bad) I had a large salad to at least get some nutrition in.
 
Hey Omega, good to see you here and I am happy you are doing well, the veggies in the curry sound like a great idea. LaMa it sounds like you could have done worse, you stopped short of a real binge and had a big salad, not terrible.

No binge here, I was too busy to eat enough and did not seem to want a lot when I did finally get dinner.

Let's not binge tomorrow.
 
I´d say the amount of chocolate I ate + the timing (right after lunch) made it a binge but I´m still glad I stopped myself instead of making it worse. I guess it was a combination of period problems and lingering nervousness about going to work this morning. That last one´s getting easier with time though.

What is making you feel nervous to go to work?

Have you seen a doctor for your period problems?

I have generalized anxiety. Work is new. It´s getting better but it´ll be a while before it stops triggering my anxiety.
About the period problems: I´ve been having periods for almost 30 years and I´ve seen many doctors during that time. The only thing they have to offer for menstrual trouble is hormonal birth control, which for many women has a whole slew of side effects. In fact the help with menstrual trouble IS a side effect, if a positive one. I´m confident all that will change in the next 20-40 years but for now many period problems are not medically solvable. You just have to grin and bear it.
 
Good for you today LaMa, maybe we can call yesterday a mini-binge?

No binge here, and no real temptations. I did have 3 beers, but they were Coors Light, which I believe is pretty weak beer. Still the most I have had in one day in over a year.

Let's not binge tomorrow.

In the past, have you had times where you were able to resist binging due to anxiety?
 
I binged today. Just for comfort on a day of feeling all wrong. Didn't eat until I was sick, even though I had more chocolate available. I guess that's a small mercy?
 
Thank goodness for small mercies LaMa! Tomorrow is another day.

No binge here, but I felt a bit of a slippery slope at dinner. The fish came with 3 hush puppies, not good for you. I decided to try one bite, and then ate the whole thing. It took some real will power not to eat the other two. The battle never ends...

Let's not binge tomorrow.
 
Good job, Rob!

No b/p for me yesterday and today. I wasn’t really tempted since I’ve been busy. Yesterday I did overeat a little. Today was better. I hope it reflects in the scale tomorrow.

I hope I do better tomorrow!
 
I had to look up hush puppies as food. I had no idea. G wears Hush Puppy brand slippers :)
I read the no binge/purge thread every day, but don't normally comment. I really do think that eating something in moderation & mindfully, especially if it is delicious & if you are hungry is not binging. My interpretation may be different from everyone else's though. I don't see that eating sufficient food when you are hungry is binging unless you actually over-eat, past the satiation point. I understand the stuffing your face trying to mask your feelings or trying to eat your pain & have done that in the past, so I do get it. Getting food into perspective & finding the right balance is important for all of us I think. I know misplacing food's role in life is how I became overweight in the first place. Just my ramblings for the day. Ignore them if you wish xo
