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

Weight-Loss
No binge, no real urge. Hungry now, but it's time for bed and I don't sleep well with a full stomach. A bit like with alcohol: I'll fall asleep very easily but then wake up after an hour or two and have trouble staying asleep.
 
Thanks LaMa, and I am trying some substitutes, today coffee and low cal hot chocolate. I have a similar reaction to alcohol, puts me to sleep but can make sleeping through the night harder.

No binge here today, I have been trying to eat a little more earlier in the day, not sure that's helping much.

Let's not binge tomorrow.
 
I'm trying... Overdid it a little on the dried fruit today and I could just keep going. If I had salty snacks within reach right now they would allll go down.
 
Made it. I guess my body just wanted a counterweight to the sweet fruit. And it'll get it - for breakfast tomorrow.
 
Good for you LaMa!! Making it is good. I found some frozen mango today and ate some. It was pretty good, only problem was some of the pieces were probably not ripe and quite hard and tasteless, even after thawing. I don't know mangos very well, they did not grow in north Florida where I lived, so I was not close to fresh and we had enough local fresh fruit year round to keep my interest.

No binge here today, and until tonight no strong urges, though I did get pretty hungry before lunch. Tonight after my snack I sure wanted to keep eating, but managed to resist, its mostly past now and I should be asleep in a few minutes.

Let's not binge tomorrow.
 
Thanks Cate and Rob :)

That sounds kind of gross. You'd think they'd be happy to process the too-ripe-to-transport mangos.
Well done resisting the urges today!

I'm going to try to be more sensible about the dried fruit today and have mostly fresh instead. I woke up hungry several times during the night so I'm guessing it wasn't just the change in taste I was after yesterday.
 
Hi LaMa and Rob sorry I have been MIA . I have probably been dipping in a few things now that I shouldn't mainly because it's xmas . However I have my plan to keep weight maintained for Jan 4 . Daughter and I are doing a little detox today and our food is planned for the next few days . Fingers crossed .

You are both doing fantastic. Keep up the good work
 
Thanks Petal. Fingers crossed your plan will work! Doing it together with your daughter should be a bit of extra motivation.
Not sure if this is the best place to post this but the doctor mentions appetite problems a couple of times so I thought of you Rob. (Please ignore the clickbaity title.) Looks like you´re far from the only one. I guess it´s like the difference between just being itchy and the kind of itchiness I (used to?) get with my eczema. My hands still get dry and/or itchy but right now it´s easy to follow your dad´s advice of "just don´t scratch" whereas before I´d get heart palpitations and blotchy vision if I tried to ignore the scratch cues.
 
Hey LaMa, good no binge and not even urges! You continue to do well. Thanks for the video, there were a number of things I could relate to. Like his advocacy for lots of veggies, just what I have been doing. I ate more mango today, thanks again for that idea.

Good to see you here Petal, and maintaining through the holidays sounds like a very reasonable goal. Hope come January 4 you are happy, I believe you probably will be!

No binge here today, and no terrible urges. It was a good day.

Let's not binge tomorrow!
 
Hungry all day today so I ate an extra meal. 600-700 extra calories but all pretty healthy and no binging.
 
Good for you LaMa, not bingeing is what matters. I had the opposite problem, did not eat enough and had to eat more evening snack than usual. I think I need to start eating more at breakfast and lunch and less in the evenings.

No binge today, and no strong urges, I seemed to have no trouble resisting all the Christmas goodies.

:) Now where have I heard that before... :p Habits are often hard to break though, especially when they give you a feeling of safety, so it´s normal for it to take a while.

You got me, I know I keep saying it, as you say habits are hard to break but I keep thinking I ought to...

Tonight we had the grandkids et al back for leftover Christmas dinner, I was struggling a bit to avoid over eating and sure felt the urge to. Without the Christmas present opening to distract it was kind of hard. I ended up leaving the room for a while, that seemed to do the trick. No binge!

Let's not binge tomorrow.
 
I know that problem... I don't even like nutella that much but the longer we all sit around the table the more it calls my name...
 
Well, today wasn´t great. I mean: it was a pleasant day but I kept grazing. Would´ve been a lot worse if I´d had the same amount of food in sweets and chips but still probably 800 kcal or so over maintenance.
 
LaMa, sorry your day wasn't great, but it does sound like you didn't binge. Grazing like that won't help with the weight loss, but it should not do the damage of a binge.

I still had a big evening snack, but I ate dinner later and the snack earlier than usual, so maybe I should just call it a big dinner. A kind of progress, I guess... Got me thinking maybe I could skip breakfast and just call this IF. Anyway, no binge and no more temptation than usual.

You could try and see if it works for you. Worst thing that can happen is that it doesn't and you go back to what you're doing now. Would be great if it did reduce your appetite.
 
No binge today and not particularly tempted. Digestion still a bit off. It's odd that I'm always tempted to graze when my stomach's unhappy.
 
Good for you LaMa, for me being sick or an upset stomach never was a deterrent to bingeing. As I have said I have an iron stomach, I am not sure I have ever vomited as an adult, just doesn't happen. I can stuff the worst of an unhappy stomach. Not a skill to be proud of...

Today was a good day, I had no real binge urges. I am still eating the big evening snack but have started doing it earlier, more like a big after dinner desert. I did my PT and Salsa after the snack, I think that feels better.
