That is interesting, and it seems LaMa has had a similar experience. Wish I could say the same, from time to time I have taken small bites of things I stopped eating, they still taste too good to me. To be honest though I don't really have any specific binge trigger foods, or maybe I should say everything can be a trigger food for me. No matter what I eat there is still that little voice deep down inside that wants me to keep eating.

No binge here today and the urges were not bad. Guess I almost never have a day without some feeling that I should eat more, but those feelings are, on average, getting less.

Let's not binge tomorrow.

That alone is huge. Miracles are for stories only but hard work can get you almost as far and it's at least as satisfying.
I did not binge yesterday and don't see it happening today.
 
Same here a good day yesterday and hopefully again today .
I am eating very healthy and mindfully . Long may it continue .
well done Rob and LaMa . It’s great motivation to post here tbh

I agree, such a helpful thread.
Didn't binge but I did deviate from my plan. Had crackers with cold meat and pickles for dinner instead of pumpkin soup. Just because. No, that's not right. I'm here to get things right about my feelings. I had three people cancel appointments for this week (none of it to do with us) which stressed Secretary and I got infected. Said I'd go home early, which I wanted to anyway, then she just changed my plan to have me come in late tomorrow as well - without asking me - so I felt attacked. Of course when I pointed out the change she pretended that wasn't at all what she'd meant and it was of course up to me... Yeah, sure. Anyway: I'm glad it didn't turn into a fight but just bringing it up involved psyching myself up a bit and then afterwards I felt drained and I didn't want to be sensible. Still: sensible enough to not binge.
 
No binge here today, if anything I under ate. I find it hard to eat when I don't feel hungry.

Absolutely, it helps me to be able to talk about bingeing and related issues with people who understand what I am talking about. Y'all are great!

Good for you LaMa, sounds plenty good enough to me!

Let's not binge tomorrow.
 
Lama hope your day at work was better today . No binging here either . Feel pretty focused at the moment .
hope you all staying binge free
 
No binge today. I did eat 40g of caramel&brownie-filled chocolate. Gave away 20g and have another 40g left for another day.
 
I had veggie chips today since I was craving chips. Something salty. So not too bad. No binging today. No purging. But it is still early. Last night I feel as if I did overeat with the sweet potato fries. It’s getting so bad that I’m microwaving the fries so I can eat them quicker. So today I ended up throwing it away. Tonight I have nothing except salad stuff that’s quick to eat. I do have a lot of frozen meats that I can’t microwave.
 
Vic, LaMa, Petal, good for y'all, that is great. LaMa, giving caramel&brownie-filled chocolate must have been hard, but you did it. Vic, throwing away the fries must likewise have been hard, but you did it. Petal, your focus is impressive.

I did not binge today, and I did give up half of a kind of Japanese noodle salad thing. I wanted it but something inside said I had eaten enough and I listened. After it was gone it felt good.

Lets not binge tomorrow.

If that something inside was a satiety cue that's excellent. I just hope it wasn't guilt for eating something that might be unhealthy.

Microwaved fries sound so gross! Probably a good thing you got rid of them if they cause you to lose control.
 
I have not binged today or yesterday. Feeling determined at the moment . Have a lovely homemade lasagne In the oven now and I ate a raw carrot while preparing the food . Lunch was not satisfying so I am hungry . It would be so easy to binge really if one wanted too . The shops are so full of all the crap I used to love . This is definitely my first time ever in maybe 30 years that at this point I have not eaten sweets , chocolates , mince pies just because they are so readily available. I would hide tins of sweets in my room and eat all my favourites then discard the rest when I would feel sick or guilty or both . Easy do when they are 4 or 5 Euro a box . I am happy that I don’t have the urge to do that today .

I do feel guilty about stuff that expensive but I guess that says more about our candy prices than about us. 400g (the massive box, 48 pieces?) of Toffifee is 5.99 at the moment I think, up from 5.00 a couple of years ago, and it's definitely reduced my intake.

I was hungry last night. Not the roaring: I need to eat now or I'll scream but the slow-burn: Food please, I'll take anything you've got just please don't starve me until breakfast. Please? Food? Please? Took my time to figure out if it was hungry or just cravings and ended up eating more (fruit). May just have been hormones, but some extra fruit won't do them any harm either. No binge, even though it started well before closing time. Having a satisfying homecooked meal may have helped with that.

I do need to be careful to keep my calories up over the weekend if I want to avoid binging. Maybe I'll track more closely again and make sure I reach at least 2500 kcal. Pretty sure I often go under during the week and that makes me want to overcompensate on weekends.
I could potentially go up to 2800 on weekend days if I feel like it: that would likely see me gain a tiny bit but even with three consecutive days of it the excess wouldn't come near what I'd eat on a binge. On the other hand: if the weather's nice I'm going hiking and then all my calculations are up in the air.

I had to look up what was in a tub of the sweets I'm talking about so perhsps anything from 70 to 85 chocolates. So they are cheap enough here at 4 to 5 euro. Celebrations I would have eaten a lot of ( Mars twix maltesers)

I'm guessing LaMa my calorie intake is anything from 1100 to 1600 on any given day. Right now I can't even imagine wanting 2800 cals . But my life is pretty sedentary right now ( which I am working on again ) whereas you walk everywhere, hike , and have a physically demanding job . Make sure you do satisfy yourself then hopefully no binge urges.

Me no binge and no urge yesterday.

I do think about food a lot though. Too much probably .
 
No binge yesterday, that's good news for me.

Got home late last night and slept in a bit this morning, not much time and I am still tired. Will catch up later.

Let's not binge today.

That's normal when you're in a caloric deficit so don't worry about it. You're doing so well!

Excellent! I hope you can get some rest today.

On my way home. Not too hungry so I think sushi with fruit for dessert will do but who knows what can happen before closing time.
 
I did :drool5: So good. With pickles and a green salad on the side because veg. Ample portions of everything with half a pomegranate for dessert and... I´m hungry again. It´s past 8 pm so I don´t want to eat anymore but I could really do with another 300 kcal or so. I´m really starting to see why I´ve been binging on the weekends: apparently I´m not getting my calories in during the week when I eat proper meals. Even though I feel like I´m eating a lot. So...

Me neither, unless I eat unhealthy stuff. But I have to if I don´t get up to 2500 on weekdays or the binge demons come visit. I´ll bulk up tomorrow´s breakfast with (even) more nuts for a start.
 
Lama would you make and eat granola bars . I have the best keto recipe for them . They are packed with nuts . I personally limit myself as still would be considered off plan for me but they are great for a snack when out and get hungry.
