Binge free but felt quite a strong trigger tonight

Hi everyone,

So tonight, I feel not hungry, I had a good dinner about 1-2 hours ago. Usually when I hit my half mark in losing weight this trigger happens. I don't feel bloated anymore and I have a tendency to miss the comfort of feeling extremely full.

There is not much food to choose from which I think is the only thing stopping me from binging tonight. There is no big food just small stuff that I know won't bloat me - like trail mixes. I can't really quite put a finger on what's going on. I am in control but at the same time I know there is something working against me mentally. I keep going to the kitchen to grab something and then I question - am I here because I am hungry or bored to nibble on another meal? I was going to make a bunch of veggies to nibble on and sure, it's healthy - but I am behaving binge-like.

Have any of you dealt with this before? Binge free and then when you see progress, you know there is wiggle room to revert back to it all.. hmm some support needed.

    I know this feeling and that wiggle room is a nightmare. I feel it every time I get near a goal and then sabotage my good work, even bargaining taht if I give it the dog then I cant eat it! No good advice here than the one and only thing that works for me don't have it in the house

    This happens to me. I think "oh you have been doing great" One binge wont hurt. You ran 4 miles today, you have the calories. It sucks. Lately I cannot go more than 1 week without binging.

    I will have to look it up but there is a label for this. this is very common, the binge urge is fighting too! It doesn't have to mean something. If you have been a long time binger sometimes a binge is just habit, it is ingrained in us. Keep resisting, you are going to be ok!
