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

Weight-Loss
I have done whole pigs, and it usually takes me about 18 hours. I think slower is better, the result is more tender. A mammoth would probably take a few days, I await the call!
 
A whole pig is not that much smaller than a cow; it mostly has shorter legs. Here only half-grown pigs get roasted whole. Good thing it's dinnertime because I'm getting hungry just thinking of the smell!
 
Thank you for your support guys! I really should have checked in earlier today to read your suggestions. On the bright side, I would qualify today as more of an overeating day than a binge-y day. I had a whole extra meal in the morning, but I was able to stop when it was done... I then made myself lunch and had dinner. I'm trying to stay present in the moment and take things minute by minute, meal by meal. I'll take the win that is at the very least 2 binges less than yesterday and a heck of a lot better than the 2? days beforehand.. I gotta say, I agree with you all in that brain fog is very real!
 
Good for you Blue, no binge is good. Hope you enjoyed the chocolate.

Shannon, an overeating day is much better than a binge day. Now it will be easier for you to get back on track!

LaMa, I think the pigs I have barbecued were probably half grown, not huge, but not real small. Looking forward to your call on the mammoth, have to figure out the best sauce for one.

No binge here today, and no great temptations, but I think I may be burning out a bit on the high peach diet. Oh well, it will run its course soon enough.

Let's not binge tomorrow.
 
Great to hear you're all doing well! Rob, what kind of sauce would you normally have with game? I'm thinking perhaps something with juniper berries.
 
Great news! No binge AND no overeating today! :rofl:

It took a moment, but it felt great to finally have a "normal" day by my standards again. No bloat, no discomfort, no guilt nor shame, just smiles! hehe It's more complicated than that I suppose. I took the day moment by moment and just naturally decided to do things that were constructive and otherwise good for me. I'm managing my expectations for tomorrow, but mostly I'm just happy about my success today :D

I hope you're all doing well, too!
 
Hey Shannon, that is great news! As Petal says, one day at a time now.

Petal, a wave and no binge, really good to hear from you!!

LaMa, something with juniper berries sounds good. I usually prefer the mustard based bbq sauces, but for an extinct elephant one might have to be more creative. Apparently we would not be the first, and reports of taste are limited, but not real good. Might need something strong. What Happens to Meat When You Freeze It for 35,000 Years

No binge here yesterday, it was a good day. Still trying to figure out how to transition from my dieting diet to more normal food for maintenance. The peaches will be gone soon, and have a vacation planned starting next week, that might be a good time to start the change.

Let's not binge today.
 
Thanks again you guys! I'm so grateful for this thread. I honestly feel like I was able to let it all out without any judgement. So much gratitude to you all! Today went well again, hooray! One meal at a time, one day at a time :)
 
Glad it was helpful, Shannon. We're all in the same boat here so practicing being kind to others is practicing being kind to yourself.
I binged yesterday but I'm blaming pms and hitting the ground running again.
 
Great news Shannon, just great! Never fear judgement here, not for eating anyway. You will never do anything worse than we have (some of us anyway), that makes it pretty hard for us to judge you. And what good would it do? None for us or you either.

Good for you Petal, the only good binge is one that doesn't happen!

Sorry to hear it LaMa, hope today goes better, and you are right we are all in the same boat. Its a funny boat, lots of people in it, but it can be hard to see them sometimes, and can feel lonely. The forum helps us know we are not alone.

No binge here yesterday and no strong urges, but I always feel at least small twinges of wanting more food. Without vigilance I know another binge is always around the corner, never less than 5 minutes a way... Weak forces acting over a long time can be powerful.

Let's not binge today!
 
I'm facing some serious frustration and road blocks at the moment, but I'm not feeling the uncontrollable urge to eat today. I'm hopeful that I can get through the remainder of the day with dinner and a small snack of needed.
 
Good for you Petal! Not bingeing is great! Hope you made it through the day alright Shannon.

No binge here yesterday, but my evening "snack" kind of felt like one. I total up my calories and macronutrients before the snack to see where I am and what I can have. Last night I was lower than usual so I had a kind of double snack, a peach and two yogurts with the chocolate protein supplement. A big snack, but it got me to my just under 1,600 calories for the day.

Let's not binge tomorrow!
 
Rob I think your eating more to maintain your calories .thats definitely not binging .
Yesterday was a good day for me. Felt like I really wanted something before bed but I had a small slice of ham . Did the job .
