Yeah, that's why I've stopped checking his channel. It seems like Obesetobeast just does reaction videos now and Beatrice Caruso has pretty much been doing lip service to fitness for the last few months so a new channel will be nice.

It's often the same, of course. There's simply not THAT much attention-grabbing new stuff to say about the topic and you still need content so you have to either branch out into places where you're not an expert or you're going to be repeating yourself a lot. Or, you know, you can stir up trouble for views.

LaMa, sounds like our weekends had some similarity... I also binged on Saturday, but not today. So things are looking up for us both.
Let's not binge tomorrow.

Good for you LaMa, and a good plan for tomorrow!
No binge here today, to be honest I have not felt a very strong binge urge since my binge on Saturday... I do still feel guilty about that, maybe the reason. Anyway I'll take it. Even with my somewhat reduced calories I am not, for now, feeling the urge to eat a lot more. I could of course, but the urges are not bad.

That seems to me to be what matters most. Could not have been much of a binge if you were able to stay on your calorie track. Wish I could have said that on my binge days......

Hey LaMa, hope your day ended well.
No binge here, and again no strong urges. Its funny but now that I have binged it doesn't see quite so important that I fight it tooth and nail... Kind of at peace with things a bit. Not that binges are ever good, and I would be happy never to have another, but so far I am feeling ok about things. I guess three binges is not the end of the world. As I have often said its what you do today that matters, no what happened yesterday.

That is great!! Doesn't get any better than that!
Ha! If there is one thing I have never done well it's moderation!
No binge here today, but tonight I can feel the old urges. Found myself looking longingly at the jar that used to hold M&Ms and jelly beans, but now it has only dog treats, I did not have one!

Half a small binge today? Or maybe I should say I overate on dates (200g) but stopped short of a full-on binge. After that I didn't feel like eating the food I'd cooked so I had 6 corn cakes and 3 baby bel cheeses for dinner. Which... isn't great. Will try to do better tomorrow. Some teens blocked my kebab access again today (meaning I ended up only eating 2100 kcal) so I'll have it tomorrow. And lentil stew for dinner. Maybe. If no kebab is to be had tomorrow either I'll have lentil stew for lunch and pulled pork pitas for dinner.

May be too many calories to lose weight, but it does not sound like a binge. Not unless the corn cakes were huge...
No binge here today, but I have to admit that I am eating about 100 calories worth of pretzels as I write this. They are after posting my food. Not a binge, but no real good reason for it...
Let's not binge tomorrow.
All in all I was 300 kcal or so below maintenance, so that's ok. It just felt so uncontrolled and I don't like not being in control...
There were even more this time than last week! Then again Thursday's Donnerstag in German and many people think that's close enough to make it Dönertag...

Good for you LaMa, a good day. I like dried pineapple, but generally stay away from it, too much sugar, too many calories. Can you get it without added sugar? I sure that would help. So Döner in German is kebab? You probably know the story of the famous Donner Party in the US, they ended up resorting to cannibalism, a true story Donner Party - Wikipedia. Not the Donner you'd want to eat...
No binge here today, and no strong urges, a good day.

I never buy dried fruit with sugar added. Usually means it's a bit drier, tougher, and twice as expensive (cause sugar is heavy and cheap) but it still tastes nice. Less sweet, but also more complex.
Kind of? Here Döner Kebab is the greasy spit meat, sauce, and veggies, in a bun while Dürüm Kebab is the same meat, sauce, and veggies, wrapped in a wheat tortilla. But in Germany the bread is more of a flatbread, I don't think they have the wrap version, and it gets shortened to Döner while in Austria it's more of a smal loaf/giant bun and one gets shortened to Döner while the other becomes Dürüm and both are also Kebab (the way maki and nigiri are sushi). I had vaguely heard of the Donner party and given the reputation Döner Kebab had in the 1990s... it's a fitting association. Racist, of course: people said all kind of horrible things about the little shops that were taking over the more traditional snack places. Semen in the garlic sauce, cockroaches in the salad, mystery meat... Many people don't like change even if it tastes delicious and comes with a side of veggies.
