Thanks guys. Unfortunately my bad eating has nothing to do with being full or not. I can eat far past full, to the point of feeling like vomiting, then waiting for the vomit feeling to pass and keep on eating. As terrible as that is.
145.8 this morning. Stupid water weight.
Yesterday's Fitbit:
Steps: 13837
Floors: 122
Miles: 5.86
Calories: 2312
Yesterday's Deficit: -809
Last Week's Deficit: 1262 (probably a little off as monday's food intake was a guess and was likely higher)
After work started out bad eating wise. I was so craving my white chocolate peanut butter and couldn't resist it, and after I ate the little bit remaining of that (thank god I'm out of that!) it created cravings for more bad food. But I got it under control by 4pm (got off work before 3). I sat around for a while before cleaning my house (which had gotten a little messy over the weekend!) before a showing this evening. Finished up just in time before they came and headed out for a walk to get out of the house during the showing and to get my steps up. Me and my poodle enjoyed the walk. 2 hours, probably about 8km's, and 12,000 steps.
Just had a little watermelon at the end of the day and stayed under 1500 cals!
Cals eaten: 1483
Gonna start doing my fitbit stats the next day.

So can I, no trouble at all. But if I spend my (reduced) calories on snacks there is no way I´m getting all the nutrients I need, which a bad thing when I´m trying to lose weight and get fit at the same time! Beside which I find that the cravings get more bearable when I don´t eat between meals. But to each their own, good job getting out of that funk!

White chocolate peanut butter? Whaaat? No way should that even exist! Glad you came out of that funk too! No way could I have that in my home! Actually I wouldn't want it. *shudder* That is craazy!
C'mon Mystic. You can do this. Have one day without any processed food- only fresh fruit, veg & lean protein & you will be right xoxo Cate

Had the day off work today. Allowed myself to sleep in a bit. I then got up and went to the gym.
Been doing a bit of a longer warmup to get in more steps. 2 min warm up, 8 mins running, 5 min walking. Then weights
Squats 135lbs
Overhead Press 65lbs (was not able to complete all my reps for each set)
Deadlift 135lbs
My mom then asked if I could run with her. She has been wanting to get back into running, she used to do half marathons and such (and one full marathon). I drove over there and we went for a run. I outran her, and my doberman that's for sure! It felt a little good to outrun her so much even though she hasn't run in a long time, but because she used to be able to outrun me like crazy (on the odd occasion I tried to run). It was really warm outside too which didn't help, 28*C.
So my pace was a bit slower, I ran with my mom, until she walked, then I'd run a head then run back to her and such.
Distance: 5km
Time: 31:38
Pace: 6:18mins/km
Stayed at my mom's house for a while then headed home. On my way I stopped at the grocery store to pick up some stuff. I tried a new recipe today. It was ok, but not great. It called for cashews so I bought a package of them (9 bucks for a small container!) and now I don't know what to do with them because they are quite high in cal for very few! I will have to find another recipe to try them in or just try to carefully snack on them without overeating them.
After supper I walked over to the mall to get more steps in. I didn't really feel like going for a meaningless walk, but I had something I needed to exchange so that gave me a purpose. I also wandered around the mall for a bit, I wanted to buy a couple tank tops. I did buy 2 tops but they weren't really what I was originally looking for. I was gonna look at other stores but suddenly felt a bit unwell (maybe just not in the mood for shopping). As I left the mall I got a frozen yogurt as one of my snacks for the evening.
Ate well today and felt pretty in control. Hoping this continues. I actually did so much walking and exercise I could eat a bit more than I normally would have on a weekday. I like having the fitbit connected to my calorie counting site. It makes me want to do extra walks and such to burn a little more cals so I can eat a little more.

Great work girl, glad to hear you broke out of it today! I love cashews but I´ll typically just have 10-15 grams of them at a time (yes, I weigh them...). Great few crumbling over food, toasting and adding to fruit salad or using instead of other nuts in pesto-like mixtures.

THanks guys. Yes, when I'm in the right frame of mind I would weigh out and eat a single serving of cashews, it's when I'm not in a good frame of mind.

I felt really tired today. Maybe went to bed too late.
Work was ok. Because I was so exhausted I felt hungry and felt like my lunch wasn't enough at first, but dealt with it.
I initially was gonna go for a run but since I felt tired and since I knew I would be exercising on the weekend I decided that I would walk instead and take a rest day.
However because I have my fitbit synced to MFP I wanted to see my cals go up! So I not only went for one LONG walk, I went for another short one. Heck, a run would have been faster and easier (... in some senses anyway). But it was warm one today (34*C) so a run would have sucked unless I went on the treadmill.
I had some cravings today, but was able to fight them. I did have 1 m&m here and one cashew there, but not too bad and definitely better than binging!

My 8am dog didn't show up this morning and my next dog wasn't till 9 so I just walked around my shop to get some steps in. After work, feeling really exhausted, I sat on my toilet on my phone for quite a while, putting off going to the gym haha. But finally got up the gumption to go.
Did 15 min on the treadmill first, then did weights
Squats 140lbs (pretty much sqautting my body weight)
Bench Press 70lbs
Barbell Row 70lbs
2 full pull ups, 4 more reps of going as high as I can and holding it for 10 seconds.
I then went pee cause I felt like I NEEDED to go. I then go one to the treadmill and within 10 mins I felt like I NEEDED to pee again. Held out till I got to 2miles, before I stopped and went to pee again. Of course I didn't really need to, but my body decided I just must. I then got back on the treadmill. I meant to do 5km's (aka. 3.11 miles) but for some reason I decided to misread the treadmill and instead of going for 5km's I went for 5 miles! Whoops. Oh well, more steps and cal burn for me! Was on the treadmill for 45 mins. It was a great day to run inside on the treadmill today as it was 36*C when I left work! My shoes felt quite good today. I readjusted my laces (then readjusted them again on the treadmill as they were too loose initially) and that really helped. I think I was just tying them too tight for my big wide man feet. I'm not 100% sure yet on running outside with them, but I feel like one more pain free run and I would be willing to take that risk.
I then had my supper (have found a yummy chicken cashew pasta salad recipe to use my cashews in!). And then decided to take my dog for a short walk to get in even more steps!
I ended up burning so many cals I actually got to eat a bit more today! Yum for food!

Hi MysticRealm, I'm new to this however when I read your post, was shocked to read the similarities between your story and mine (although I am slightly heavier and I'm guessing perhaps a little older too). I have tried everything but find my ability to stick to anything diminishes with each attempt. I am now considering weight loss surgery and lipo although I need to fund it all myself as I am not 'big' enough to qualify under our health system. Anyway, I want to wish you all the best with your weight loss, I'm sure that with support and determination you will make it!

Got to sleep in a touch this morning. Was hoping that would give me some energy but it didn't. Blah. After I groomed the 3 dogs I had to groom today I groomed my poodle so now he smells lovely.I was feeling really hungry at work. I think maybe I've been eating a little too little for how much exercise I've been doing. My stomach was actually growling. Decided I would eat right up to my calorie allowance today.
Got home from work and had some chocolate as I have hardly had any lately. I then headed to the gym. Did 10 mins walking, then 30 mins running, then 10 mins walking. Total of 4 miles.
I then changed and headed out into the rain to walk probably 3 km's to the vietnamese restaurant down the street. Had supper and walked back.
I got back home and really wanted to eat some more. I kept getting up and getting 1 little piece of chocolate, sitting down, then getting home for another piece of chocolate. I ended up eating right around maintenance. I did walk 30 mins round and round my house to get a little more activity in. I should still be able to finish under calories if I am careful for the rest of the week. I have chinese food planned for tomorrow, but I'm going to make sure to not eat much the rest of the day, and try to be really careful on sunday.

Thanks, though I don't know if I would classify it as staying IN my calories, but at least it was maintenance and I SHOULD be able to stay in my weekly goal if I do ok tomorrow.

Woke up this morning and headed out for my long run in the rain. It rained so heavily for the first bit that the sleeves of my jacket collected little pools of water and when I would reach up to adjust my earphones the water would run down to my armpits. Luckily after km 4 or 5 it eased off and the rest of the run wasn't too bad except for a bit of wind at time. 16km's total. Don't have my phone out right now to give you pace or time info but I think it took around 1 hour 40 mins.
Showered and changed and went to my mom's house. Had lunch there and hung out for a bit, took the dogs for a good walk, before going to a travel agent as we are planning on going to New York at the end of September for vacation. Then my mom needed to do a bit of grocery shopping. We then went to a delicious chinese food place partially for my mom's bday and partially because I needed to get her out of the house so her surprise party guests could show up. After supper I needed to stall a bit more to not arrive home too early so went to the bookstore then had to make a stop off at my house. Got back to my mom's house and she was nice and surprised. Had a good time visiting. I did have a couple bites of the food but stayed pretty disciplined, I did have some cake, but chose one of the smaller pieces.
I really got to get to bed now because it's 11:30 and I have to be up at 7am for my 5km obstacle course race tomorrow. I will come around to diaries tomorrow (though I don't think many people posted on their's today as it looks like a ghost town in here so I don't feel too bad).
I only have a guesstimate of cals eaten today but it is
