For some reason this week is difficult for me. I think it's because I have a weigh-in on Tuesday for the third round of my six-month Dietbet and I already knew I wasn't going to make it. I think maybe I'm giving up mentally and just physically (nutritionally? :P) as well. Gah! Need to pull myself out of this.
Pudding - dont focus on what others expect or measure you by. Sometimes we dont meet the goals even if we have made all the right choices. Dont let the negatives make the decisions for you. Stand fast, even if you dont reach that dietbet, you are still a winner and moving in the right direction. This forum has helped me back on track when the binge monster was beating me up. Know that you have support from people who have experienced the same frustrations as yourself.

I have went over my calories for the day, right now I am sitting at around 3,000. I know I don't burn that much so it's exceeded what my body needs.
I don't feel like I have lost control or experienced a binge today though (even though I'm over my calorie limit by a lot).
Causes of overeating:
I drank too much coffee. I slowed down on my intake for awhile and now my tolerance for caffeine is pretty low. It doesn't take much to leave me jittery and irritable.
When my caffeine intake exceeds what it should I have urges that feel kind of like a low sugar -- shakey, dizzy, fatigue, etc.
It makes me low in energy so I resort to food because it seems to give me a bit of energy back to help me get over the crash. I know I don't need the extra calories, and I probably shouldn't have drank 5 cups of coffee and three bags of black tea this morning.
I think it would benefit me to start limiting my caffeine intake - maybe allowing myself tea and if I have any coffee stick to a 6-8 oz cup and nothing more. I know that excess caffeine can trigger me to binge because once I overeat I feel guilty.

Hi All! I just found this group and would love to jump in for May. I've been doing pretty well, but I know we are only as good as the work we put into it.

mmm not sure if I can count today (its 10:30 in the evening) Found a box of choclates left over from Christmas and ate 7 of them before i managed to stop myself
didnt even taste good !). I drank 3 glasses of water and the sugar monster left my house after about 30 mins. Im going to call that a "win" over the binge. There was half a box left.

Welcome to the group Nice job on going 86+ days without a binge.
Thanks! and congrats for figuring out how caffeine triggers you. Interestingly, I am the opposite. Caffeine is a motivating factor for me. If I don't have caffeine and therefore get tired or cranky, I am much more likely to want to reach our for carby comforting foods.
We all work differently, it's interesting to see how different things trigger different people.
