OMG, I thought I was the only one who did this! For whatever reason, whenever I see a new low or get an unusually big drop, I get the subconscious urge to binge later that day and I have to actively fight it. I have no idea why this happens! Maybe it's connected to using food as a reward, but it happens literally every time!0 -
That's interesting! I've never experienced this! Good numbers motivate me to do more...it'd be fascinating to study the psychology behind this0

This is me too. I think I'm doing so well, so I can eat more or something. But... I think OMAD has cured me of this because I just eat whatever now as long as it's in my window. I think for me it's just a thing I do now - I don't eat in the day. I don't consider what I eat in my eating window to ever be a binge, even if it's not the best food or too much. I still do have some guilt around food - like last night I thought I'd eaten too much (and I really had), but I keep telling myself it's WAY less than I would have eaten in an entire day before, so who cares. I think giving myself permission to not be perfect is half the battle here. I only have the one rule - I don't eat in the day. And if that day needs to end at 3pm on a weekend or because I'm super hungry, it's no biggie. Hopefully the perfectionist thing hasn't just transferred to that one rule for me though!I don't think it really has, as I was pretty relaxed about my eating when I was in San Diego. I didn't eat in the day, but I did relax my window timing and how late it went!
Of course, it's only been about 5 months, so we'll see how I go...0 -
Sarah, that is an awesome mindset. It hasn't happened to me since beginning OMAD, but I also haven't been weighing daily for very long. I really like that perspective, and I hope this is my "cure," too!1

In one of Joe's recent videos he talked about having to be mad enough to stick to your plan. I think that is what happened to me and why I decided on a maintenance start date. I was mad about the ups and downs I have been doing and am determined to end that cycle and get to a point where I can maintain. No sabotage today. Had my OMAD and that was it.0

I am now below my Birthday Challenge ending weight and I must continue to move down from here.
Today is my last vegetarian day for the week. So I should have another loss tomorrow. I will take note to see how my meat eating affects my weight this weekend. Basic OMAD with a meaty meal only (no sabotaging, Tracey) .0 -
Go, girl! No sabotaging!!!!0

Every day a step closer. Great progress you're making.0
