LaMa I thought you were doing a crotchet for sister with animals on ?

That's what I was considering but it'd be very expected and I couldn't get excited about it. Instead I may do a 2D version of the same thing. Easier (and much cheaper!) to put through the mail as well. Plus it's something I've never tried.
 
Did not binge today. Was a tiny bit tempted to eat the second half of that chocolate bar after work but I wouldn't have had time to sit down with it properly so I didn't.
 
Congrats Petal and LaMa, no binge is a good binge!!

No binge here today, though I continue to have a bit of a struggle to stop eating once started. I have been eating a lot of veggies, thinking that would help, but I am not sure it does.

Lets not binge tomorrow!

How's the slow eating coming along? Putting your fork down between bites and all that?
 
I agree with Petal, no binges, well done! LaMa, for me it is much easier to control calories without the binges, hope it is for you also. And thanks for the slow eating reminder, I did try to do that today, but am not always good about it.

No binge here today, but I did struggle in the afternoon, got very cravey before dinner. Had a pear and managed to hold it off.

Let's not binge tomorrow!
 
Not 9 am - yet and I am hungry, or think I am already. I had a good breakfast just an hour and a half ago... It seems like I am feeling this way more and more... Writing and not biting right now.
 
I bit instead of writing. Don´t be like me. I feel awful. Your body may be rebelling because you lowered your calories after surgery.
 
Thanks LaMa, sorry you bit, hope it was not too much. I don't know if it was my body rebelling or all in my head, I think it is more likely in my head. Having trouble separating real hunger or the need for food from cravings right now...

I did not binge, and at the end of the day my calories were on track, but I don't feel real good about it. I craved more food all day long, I tried eating large helpings of kale and squash, big volume low calorie things. It did not seem to help a lot, but felt kind of binge like. And I am chewing a lot of sugar free gum again, just need to stick something in my mouth. I am trying to give up diet soft drinks and did well at that today, just one. I had to just tough it out for a lot of the day, no fun. I am feeling a bit sorry for myself I guess, I no longer have the reinforcement of losing weight. That was a powerful reinforcement and I have found no replacement. Kind of feel at lose ends a bit... Oh well enough moaning, time to go to bed.

I'm sorry yesterday was such a struggle for you but great job beating the urge. I just gave in like a whiny wimp. Had around 300g of chips, 250 g of Mars bars and 250 g of Twix. So... it was a bad one. I wish I could say I'd learned something from it. But maybe I can learn something from your example.
 
Rob I think sugar free gum chewing wants you to eat tbh . It’s the sweeteners in it make you crave food .
I have been toying around with my food recently and going for more full fat real food and I feel better for it .

Lama hope today is a better day . I love twix and Mars bars . Especially from the fridge.
 
Sorry you struggled LaMa, hopefully today was better. Petal, I like the idea of eating more full fat foods, I have made the change from low fat store bought yogurt to my homemade using whole, full fat, milk. I know my fat consumption is low, I probably get too many calories from carbs, mostly fruit and veggies though, not bread or pasta. Still looking for that ideal diet I guess.

No binge here today, I did have some urges but was able to find ways to distract myself from them. Better than yesterday, guess that is good.

Let's not binge tomorrow.
 
Glad you struggled less. I panicked thinking about sugarfree November and stuffed myself with all the sweets I could find. Not feeling as dread-filled today so cautiously optimistic for the month.
 
I think your yoghurt Rob is really good for you . Keep it up . Maybe a little cream or butter in your cooking might be a good fat .
LaMa hope today continued to be ok for you
 
Thanks Petal. I did quite well today. For some reason I´m hungry again (almost 9 pm) even though I definitely ate enough but all in all it was very doable today.
 
Good for you LaMa, a "quite well" is great news! And eating enough has rarely kept me from feeling hungry, or wanting to eat anyway.

I did not binge today, but I did eat a lot of squash, not many calories but a lot of food. It felt a bit binge like. The mind is a funny thing, I think mine wants me to envision what I am doing as bingeing and then rationalize the once started a binge can always be expanded beyond veggies. Even after eating a whole lot of squash, I wanted more. Fortunately I did not eat more. Guess I will always have to fight off the binge...

How much is a "whole lot" of squash for you, by the way? Just so´s I can have a picture of what you mean.

Here is a picture of the HubbardIMG_1958 (002).jpg squash I ate (not all of it) yesterday. I ate a cup and a half for lunch and 3 cups for dinner, that's about 2 kg total. A lot of bulk, but not a whole lot of calories, a couple of hundred maybe.

No binge today, and no strong urges, it was a better day.
