      Was it a full moon? I overate too. All food on my program but I usually finish eating around 7 or so and last night I was still hungry and needed something so I had a 2oz burger and some peanut butter.

      Definitely eating too much this week but still no binges. Not great but not awful.

      Why do I feel like everyone around me can tell the difference in how I look/act when I have a healthy eating day vs when I have a binge?

      No one has said anything but I don't feel like seeing people on binge days. I feel like I look 100x heavier.

      I know what you mean, I feel the same way! I know in my brain that there's no way I can actually look different, worst case scenario I could look a little puffy from a lot of salt/water retention. But I feel like I must look like 80-100 pounds heavier and I feel like people judge me for it.

      I totally get that, too. It's a horrible feeling.

      Tomorrow is going to be hard. It's my Oma's burial (she died a month ago) and celebration of life. Lunch out with my family after that and it will be an emotional day. Cue my usual binge habit to cope. I am prepared to go over and have comfort food (wine!) but have to stay strong and not binge.

      @Pudding1980 hope it'll be ok for you today, stay strong you can do it, but don't be too demanding to yourself,
      I send you lots of positive vibes.

      I hear that! I am house hunting - The market is so tight here...I just put an offer on a 3rd place last night...(beat out by other bids on 2 other homes within a month). I woke making a mental list of all the immediate expenses at this 3rd place... And I work with homeless veterans - I have clients literally sleeping in dumpsters and under bridges...and am so aware of my privilege to even have these stressors of trying to purchase a house.. overwhelmed already at 6 am on Saturday. Ha!
      Also woke hungry...ugh...stress... working through it again today, I hope!!

      For Friday the 7th:

      That's great that you can recognize the difference. :) Some people can't, and it leads to a whole lot of guilt. It's only a binge when you feel like you can't stop.

      So happy to have found this Group and this thread's 'tracking' aspect appeals to me.
      After having lost almost 90 lbs. over the past 18 months, I'm really struggling with maintenance. It's like I know how to lose weight but I don't know how to maintain it.
      Determined to keep trying though!
