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

Weight-Loss
Rob ihave heard of a new food twice now in one week , banana blossom . Justcos you mentioned you like new and exotic . I know nothing about it though .

It's true about SW I know nothing much about the maintenance program. It's a well kept secret . I know I'm maintaining but I'm prob eating a bit more than the loss program recommends.
 
I saw a video about banana blossom as a fake meat last week. It comes in a can and while it has little nutritional value its fibrous texture apparently makes it meatlike. The guys I saw made fish and chips with it.

Made a kind of banana blossom thing once. We had bananas in our yard in Florida and a Thai woman visited and told us how. They were a lot of work, but interesting. Never did it again though. Why is the SW maintenance program secret? That seems odd.

No binge here today and no strong urges, except to eat peaches rather than protein dust...

Let's not binge tomorrow.
 
Don't like the sound of that banana blossom much . Thought it was going to be a nice banana fruity thing .

No binging thankfully. Still need to eat a bit less though
 
Not binging is the main thing for me. Tbh I´m so used to binging my portions of normal food are often too low. At least that´s how it often seems. And then I get terribly hungry and binge-prone. Did well today though.

My bingeing expertise is pretty much limited to my own experience (which is extensive). And my opinion is that eating larger portions of food is a lot better than bingeing. Managing regular healthy eating is easier than binges. Good that you did well today!
 
I think that's mostly true. To avoid the binge-starve-binge cycle. The next meal can be lighter but you should try to get back to a normal rhythm.
 
I agree with Petal and you LaMa, once done a binge should be considered past and not allowed to interrupt good eating. Bingeing and starving doesn't help one get back on track.

No binge yesterday, but I did have a time in the afternoon when I was tempted, so I mowed the lawn. I am just living with managing the cravings for now, probably always will be.

Let's not binge today.
 
Let's not binge indeed. I have to think about what I can do today, every day, to make this one day work for me instead of against me. Taking a leaf from your book there.
 
I want to biiiinge... So much. I´m tired but otherwise quite happy. (Nap didn´t happen because life.) Not particularly overwhelmed, anxious, or stressed. Not at all hungry. I just really want to sit on the couch and stuff my face with calorie-dense pleasure food. And if I do I know I´ll feel bad about it afterwards. So why? Why can´t I think of a single thing I´d want to eat properly and instead have chocolate, icecream, and chips bouncing around in my head? I had one serving of icecream again already, by the way. Maybe I should go out and get some more fruit. I have some grapes in the fridge and they looked great when I bought them but they´re SO SOUR. Disappointing fruit is a thing that makes me want to kick things. I dunno, my brain is being weird. Maybe because it´s suddenly hot again where the past couple of days were so pleasant. Next week should be good again though.
 
Ended up having two large handfuls of green leaves topped with half a portion of sushi rice, half a packet of tempeh (sliced, dry-fried, then tossed in a bit of soy sauce and garlic), mango, basil, a couple of crushed&toasted cashews, and a dusting of red pepper flakes. Very yummy and I can repeat the process tomorrow. Hoping the desire to binge will diminish if I keep looking for satisfying things I can eat in normal amounts.
 
My vacation is about to end. So I’ll be coming back to this club for accountability. I haven’t been b/p for the entire time I was here.

Tomorrow is our last day. I’ve been giving in to temptations. Every night at the campfire I had one piece of s’mores. And a glass of watermelon wine the past couple of days.

Nothing to bad. Just a lot of indulgence.

Hey Vic, that is what matters, a lot more than a few s'mores and watermelon wine! You should be happy about that, I think you probably are.

LaMa, sounds like you are doing well, defeating the urges yesterday was an accomplishment, good for you! Hope today ends well for you.

No binge here yesterday, but I did think about it. The idea of a celebration meal for having hit (just touched really) the 160 mark kept coming to mind. But then I though what would be the purpose, doubt I would really enjoy it, not afterwards anyway, and it would not set a good precedence. So I resisted so far anyway, but the idea of beer and pizza (unlimited, not just a little) or something like it is still rattling round my brain.

Let's not binge tomorrow.
 
I try to remind myself that while the feeling of abundance a binge gives is nice the actual taste and physical enjoyment of the food/drink goes down drastically after the first few bites when you´re not actually hungry. Is there anything you haven´t had in a long while which might be a nice treat in a sensible portion?
