Well i guess i jinked myself. This morning I was excited because I was seeing results. And now i've completey gorged myself and i feel the urge to eat more! Its not even that i'm hungry, I ate a very satisfying dinner of veggies and meat and felt more than full when I was done eating, and now 20 minutes later i've compulsively eating gram crackers, weight watchers desert, and a pria bar and feel like i could go for more. its not even that i feel like it, i;ve got this itching kind of feeling in my hands and arms thats almost telling me to do it. I"m very frustrated because I feel like I'm always one step forward 2 steps back w/ my weight loss.
 
I understand completely! I spent the entire summer binging one day and the next day being on a perfect diet! So I never got anywhere and now after all that fighting with myself, I eat alot, about 2500 cals a day and keep gaining, obviously.

Don't give in!! You do not want this to happen to you!!
 
and its hard going through this too because i beat myself up so much emotionally and i hate myself for doing it because i can't stick to a simple diet.
 
I truly believe that, while a lot of our society's weight problems are our own dang fault, a lot of it is society itself. We are in constant conflict with our surrounding environment when it comes to food and activity. Healthy salad or that tasty cheeseburger on that billboard? Take the stairs that are sort of hard to even find, or the elevator that's right in front of our faces? you get the idea.

My point is, our minds are full of mental images when it comes to food. That is very powerful and hard to overcome. I believe some binge eating can be a result of that mental conflict.

Another thought - if your total daily intake is less than it needs to be, even if you don't feel that hungry, your body may be. I, myself, have had similar experiences where at the end of the day, I didn't feel hungry, but felt like I could eat everything in the house, and had to force myself not to. When I checked over what I was eating, it wasn't enough. When I uppped my cals to where they needed to be, it went away (and I lost more weight!:D )
