New day, same story. I bought a multi-pack of 4 bounty bars and ate a multi-pack of 4 bounty bars. I barely stopped for breath between each one.
Anyway I have changed my step counter as my last one was been ridiculously generous and giving me steps whilst I was sat in a chair. My new one has a start/stop function so I will only use it when I am actually exercise walking and not around the office or house.August target 300,000, More cycling so less days for steps this month.13/08 - 12,517 (5.44); Cycle 6.46

Busy day today. Lots of walking and I went swimming. I had my granddaughters most of the day and overnight so we moved a lot. I can’t go into the pool for 4 days as I have an ear infection. I popped by the doctors because I have been dizzy and my ear started paining. He wants me to start wear ear plugs in the pool to prevent another infection. This is my 2nd in 3 months. Last night I really had the urge to binge. I made myself a sandwich and did not continue eating. Had to edit this to add, when I closed my diary tonight my what you would weigh in 5 weeks was under 200 pounds for the first time. I know this is not accurate but it did make me happy.
Yesterday’s steps: 11,321
@TheMrWobbly those bounty bars are so good. Maybe you could just buy 1 bar at a time.
@LaurieWrobo awesome loss and you should be proud!
@iamworthy14 congrats on the loss!
@171lake congrats on the loss!5 -

Happy with this as the last week has been hectic as heck and I wasn't successful at meeting my goals for steps, workouts, calories...
I have a long weekend trip coming up then things should settle back to normal next week. Hopefully. 🙂
Congrats to everyone on their success!3 -

@TheMrWobbly, I totally understand the Bounty Bar situation. Several weeks ago, I bought 8 packs (16 half-pint tubs) of Chilly Cow ice cream. I had intended to stretch them out over a 3 week period, but NO, I ate them all in 6-7 days. This is such a learning process for me. Most people are either 'moderators' or 'abstainers'. Some people eat everything in moderation, however, other people must abstain from 'trigger' foods. Moderators feel stifled if told to eliminate certain foods from their diets. Abstainers feel uncomfortable with certain foods in their presence. We are what we are and I have learned that I am an abstainer. So for now, I abstain from certain foods. Will I need to do that forever? I don't know. But I am prepared to do so if that is the case. Today, I bought 1 pack of Chilly Cow ice cream for my grocery shopping treat. And I won't be at all surprised if I eat both 1/2 pint tubs today. Actually, I will plan that into my food diary and enjoy them both immensely!3

I looked for the excellent post I read recently about moderators versus abstainers, but cannot locate it. I did find this older definition:
* Moderators: find that occasional indulgence heightens their pleasure (while strengthening their resolve), and they get panicky at the thought of “never” getting or doing something.
*Abstainers: have trouble stopping something once they’ve started, but aren’t tempted by things that they’ve decided are off-limits (or are tempted less).3 -

Thanks @pjshawley I'll try and find more myself. I generally pass on things I know I will just eat, I think I knew I was going to eat them all - just decided I was going to. I was low on sleep, who knows - just a poor choice.1

This is an excellent explanation I hadn’t heard before but resonates with me. I’m an abstainer too - it is easier for me to draw a hard line putting something out of bounds than for me to have it in my house as a sometimes food, as I will overindulge.
I have done well these past 7 months having put everything “bad” out of bounds for most of it. Around my daughter’s birthday there were a few exceptions for cake, and a few times I’ve make healthier versions of peanut butter cups (70% dark chocolate, coconut oil, pure peanut butter, ground flax, sunflower seeds, almond) which i was doing a pretty good of moderating on, but it reintroduced chocolate to my household and when I was too busy to make the peanut butter cups I started having one or two pieces of chocolate... at first moderation was working after such a long break, but slowly it started to increase to 4 pieces, 6 pieces, 8 pieces... so now I’ve switched to Sweet William and another brand of sugar free chocolate which has fewer carbs so it does less damage, but i am not good at stopping at one serving size (2-3pieces)... the fall back into old patterns!2
