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

Weight-Loss
Well done taking your mind off the urge and making it till bedtime! Reasonable urges for me are the kind of "I could eat more but it's ok" you can distract yourself from with a glass of water.
 
No binge and no desire to.
 
Good for you LaMa!

No binge here, but I did eat a lot of food and kind of had a bigger than planned lunch. Struggled a little with it, but in the end my calories were fine.

Let's not binge tomorrow!
 
Didn't binge. Haven't binged for 6 weeks or so. This may be the first time that not binging hasn't been accompanied by a growing feeling of pressure and dread. For the first time I don't feel like a blow-out binge to make up for time lost is unavoidable. Not saying it'll never happen anymore but it doesn't hang over me like a dark cloud all the time.

That is great LaMa, a real accomplishment. What's changed? What are you doing differently?

No binge for me yesterday and no strong urges. Still trying to eat a bit more without feeling like I am bingeing. I was 154 this morning, things are good.

I am posting this kind of late, but lets not binge the rest of today!

What does "kind of" mean here?

Missed this earlier, it was about 650 calories, I am usually between 300 and 400.

No binge here today, but I struggled. I have been trying to include some more "normal" food in my diet, the last few days I have been eating "aussie bites" a kind of small cookie made with whole wheat flower, fruit, and grains. Today I ate more than I should have and sure wanted more, maybe I need to go back to the no sweets thing... I also found myself taking a bite of something I had in the refrigerator tonight, it was just one bite, but done without thinking and I sure wanted more. Urge fighting today has not been much fun.

Lets not binge tomorrow!
 
That's great LaMa! I guess I gave up solitary sweet eating when I started this diet in 2019, and it helped me also.

Yesterday was a bit of a struggle, I wanted to eat all day. I find myself kind of obsessing over the food I do eat, even craving the big veggie meals and wanting them more and more. So long as I don't give in I guess that's going to have to be manageable...

Didn't binge but I ate a bigger dinner than necessary (lack of planning/ideas) and had 100 g or so of dried mango.
 
Good for you LaMa, not bingeing is the most important thing! The never losing fat cells thing is interesting, I have been fat, overweight, since my first baby pictures I guess those fat cells have been with me a long time...

No binge here yesterday, and though I did feel some urges they were less, things were a bit better.

Let's not binge today!
 
Good for you LaMa, you really are doing well. I will have to look for some dried mango, sounds good. And yeah, the urges do suck, but not so much as giving into them.

No binge here today, but I did struggle a bit at mid-day. Ended up eating more calories than usual, but was not too hungry at dinner time so was able to end on track with my calories.

Let's not binge tomorrow.
 
I love my dried mango, especially when it's still just that little bit chewy. It's basically like eating fruit gummies with fiber. Frozen is even better, and easier to stop eating, but I can only get that over summer here.
Would you say that the timing of your cravings is changing?
 
Will start looking for mango, frozen or dried. Oh, my urges can strike at any and every time, so they are always changing.

No binge today, and less urge than some days.

Let's not binge tomorrow!
 
No binge today and no real strong urges. I have been thinking about it though and am a bit concerned that I am substituting diet soft drinks and lots of veggies for my old binge foods, and kind of bingeing on them. Still struggling with the question of if those are good coping mechanisms or something of a problem in and of themselves. As LaMa pointed out last time I raised this they are certainly better than obesity, maybe I should just get used to it... Don't know.

Let's not binge tomorrow.
 
You could try making even better substitutes, at least for the soda: homemade unsweetened drinks, hot or cold. Or you could ask for your doctor's opinion? Or set yourself a limit, only to be crossed on "bad" days.
