Good for you LaMa, doing well today is what its all about!

I am happy to see you doing better Petal, we all have better and worse days. Here's to you having mostly better!

First off, I am now craving peaches. I don't think I've had one in 2 years or more which seems like all sorts of wrong. 26 litres is an impressive amount of wine! Do you have a peach tree farm or grove? (I'm not sure of the right terminology here) Lastly, I hope your sense of guilt will begin to fade when once you accept that you're eating more because you've transitioned into maintenance and it's important for your long term health

Sorry for starting your cravings! But peaches are good food, better to crave peaches than a lot of things. We actually got over 60 liters of wine from last year's peach crop, the 26 was just the last batch. We have a small peach orchard, or at least that is what I call it. Just 104 trees, we have a farmer who takes care of it and in good years he sells most of the peaches. The rent is just all the peaches we can eat. Last year we had a bumper crop, and prices were down so the farmer could not sell many, we ended up processing over a ton, dried, frozen, juiced and the wine. We still have a whole lot of last year's peach juice in the freezer. This year we had a late freeze and got very few peaches, not enough for the farmer to bother with so we are eating most of them, no wine or juice this year. We are drying and freezing some though, too many for us to eat.

Yes, I am hoping the guilty feelings will subside, I think it is just a matter of time, and staying on course.

Your mimosa and sticky bun doesn't sound like a binge, I think you are ok on that front.

Sorry to hear that Blue, hopefully you don't purge. Tomorrow is a new day, can you do it without bingeing?

No binge here today, and I was pretty busy so did not thing about it much.

Let's not binge tomorrow!
 
No binge today, and no strong temptations. However my eating still feels like too much. I am eating a lot of peaches, but trying to balance it. When you have lots of ripe juicy peaches it would seem a sin not to be eating them.

Let's not binge tomorrow.
 
i don't know about sins but it would feel like a waste. Enjoy it while it lasts. Your eating will probably feel like too much for a good while - at least until you stabilize somewhere. And that's probably stressful, but it's also normal at this point.
 
I feel I have been dicing about with falling off track. However I don’t feel great after last night meal. It was nice but the meat was not good . It’s reminded me though how well I feel when I eat good fresh produce and steer clear of crap food . Feel like I need a bit of a detox today lots of fruit and salads I think . And a meat free day . well done on not binging lama and Rob .
Bluehat and Shannon hope all is good
 
very painful tummy
there isnt any other way to make it stop
but BP( the P part)
id rather not puke
so fasting for a few days will help
my longest is 5 days straight
trying not to binge tonight
 
Binged last night and this afternoon.
Got into a bad argument with a loved one yesterday evening.
I'm not exactly angry at myself, but I'm not thrilled about it either.

I suppose I'm disappointed in myself because I had posted on my diary that I was proud of myself for keeping my diet in check after going through something emotional earlier in the day.

I just ate dinner which was steak and steamed broccoli. Here's hoping I can get through the rest of today without another binge. I'll worry about tomorrow when tomorrow comes.
 
Hey LaMa, good that you were able to control the binge urge! Close is ok, I am close all the time, its reality that matters. And I am pretty sure wasting peaches is a sin, if it's not it should be.

Same for you Petal, in the end you did not binge and that is what really matters!

Hey Blue, sorry to hear about your tummy, that does not sound pleasant. 5 day is a long time to fast, have you asked a doctor about it? Stay safe!

Shannon, I am sorry to hear it, but its past now focus on tomorrow, its what matters. You can get through one day, tomorrow without bingeing I know you can, you have before you can do it again!

No binge here, but despite feeling physically full I still have the urge to eat more and continue eating after a meal. I guess one thing I have learned is my bingeing and binge urges are not really connected to hunger or the need for food. It's something else.

Let's not binge tomorrow.
 
Lol LaMa. I have not heard that one . Binging is not really about hunger Rob for me it was an emotional response to anger or tiredness or upset or anything really . It fills a void too . What I try to focus on now if I feel like binging is the pain I will have after , the indigestion and the horrible energy dip I will get .
Shannon sorry you had an argument and Bluehat feel better . Try to eat , 5 days fasting sounds unhealthy
 
Today was a tough one. I really wanted to go out and drag home the caloric equivalent of a woolly mammoth. Kind of can´t believe I made it :eek: But I did and now it´s late enough that the urge is gone. I can´t tell you what a relief it is to finally relax.
 
Cut it up and prep the different parts in different ways, I think. You´d probably need a crane to barbecue a whole mammoth! I´m assuming they were wiry buggers so soups and stews would be the way to go.
 
Another 2-3 binges today. I can't remember what I ate around lunch time... it's all a daze :S That being said, I'm starting to feel somewhat more in control now and I hope I can start veering back unto course tomorrow. These past couple of days have been a real kick to the teeth, but it's only temporary and I will succeed! I'm already starting to think more positively. I avoided putting any added pressure on myself today because I think that's what triggered me in the first place. I'll try to be kind yet firm with myself tomorrow. I think I can handle it :)
 
Binging gives me brain fog. That, combined with not really wanting to know, often makes it hard for me to remember exactly what I had.
 
Shannon hope today is a better day . Just think one meal at a time .
I too fought urges yesterday. I was driving home alone from visits and every filling station or town I passed through I wanted to stop for sweets or icecream. But I made it home without stopping.
 
Hey Shannon, today is what matters, or the rest of today. Do as Petal suggests don't binge one meal at a time or one hour or one minute, whatever it takes. You can do this! The past is dead and gone, its the future, the very near future that matters. It's all you can control. LaMa is right, for me anyway, a binge does give me a brain fog. Time to shake that fog off and move on!

Good that you made it past the urges LaMa, hope today is going as well for you. I think the bbq would work, you find the mammoth and I'll find the equipment! Cooked slowly enough it might be edible.

Good for you Petal, I can relate to the filling station thing, I used to do station to station binges... I still think about it from time to time. Interesting you use that word, its more an old southern colloquialism here, and pronounced "fillin" station. Not much used these days, and not at all in Utah.

No binge here yesterday, but I did give some thought to how many peaches I am eating, lots of carbs and keeps me quite full.

Let's not binge today!
 
Funny, I was thinking about whole roasted cattle when I wrote that. A suckling pig takes, what, 4 hours or so? A bull 24. So how long would a mammoth need? Next time I come across one I promise I'll send it to you :p
