    @pezhed Yes, those darn ads! “Free” fruit, zero points for fruits and most vegetables - BOING - those mottos caused a 30# regain of the 58 I had lost before them. My leader constantly insisting that “no one gets fat from eating bananas!” I’m not a banana fan but fresh pineapple and watermelon sure DID make me fat! SOOO much sugar!!! Natural sugar is just as bad as processed sugar.

    No one got fat from eating grapes ect but the sugar though natural will make you crave more sugar. I do love my fruit but bananas are a no no but when I pair it I eat plain yogurt or and eggs.

    @JbeanR0212 - As I was going through the posts after my previous note, “change forever” jumped out at me again and I remembered a night long ago. A friend and I joined a program at our local hospital. It was called “Slim for Life” and I have never forgotten a remark by the hospital’s registered dietitian the first night. “You can NEVER eat cake again.” I’m surprised any of us returned for the next class. If I had a loss during those weeks, I do not remember it.

    I have found what works for me (low carb) and know from tracking what will set me back and how to recover after I “binge.” My binges are no longer eating a 1/2# Hershey bar but maybe a cookie or two.

    And that relates to the Mary Pickford quote. I always get up but sometimes it takes a bit longer. 😁

    @quiltingjaine I admire your pure honesty and delight in your sense of humor. I have struggled with real true binging in the past. I mean thinking about the masses of sugar and sodium I had put in front of myself in those moments now makes me nauseous. Just imagine your kitchen table loaded full of junk food and going to town, that was me. That’s why I can’t over restrict myself anymore or buy into the “cheat day” mentality ever again. Our bodies all have their own quirks and our brains too. There isn’t any one size fits all plan. That’s why tracking and pages like this are so powerful. I again am so thankful for you! I love carbs but I also push my body hard so what works for me is cycling them (high carb, low protein, low fat + intense cardio / low carb, high protein, high fat (healthy ones) + light cardio/strength / repeat). I’m not a cake lover but I have to allow controlled cravings. On that note as a banana lover I will say - um 🙋‍♀️ This gal right here got fat eating them 😉. And maybe drinking too much OJ while at it.

    Hi I'm Lynn!
    Joining 2 days late, sorry! Just need to kickstart and follow through without feeling overwhelmed and 10 days at a time seems like a great way to do it!
    I'm 62 years old.
    7/18 207.2 💧 64 oz
    7/19 207.8 💧 64 oz - oops wrong way! Nausea yesterday - ate bread! 😳
    7/20 206.8 💧 64 oz - so happy to not have snacked today and kept to my plan!
    7/21 205.9 💧 64 oz
    7/22 204.8 💧 64 oz Egg foo young; limited (1/3 c) gravy & rice & still at calorie goal!!
    7/23 206.2 💧34 oz so much lack of self control!! Struggling to forgive myself and do better 1 day at a time-tomorrow will be up
    More

    @lynnhudzik2019 give yourself some grace! You are only human and every step in the right direction, no matter how small adds up to big results. Don’t push yourself too hard, it’ll just spin & burn you out. You got this! Tomorrow is a new day. Big big hugs for ya’.

    SW: 154.6
    Day/Weight/Comment
    7/16: 154.6, I'v gained past my initial weight in Feb 2022 of 145 . I'm changing diet and it's known to gain before losing when becoming fat adapted. I plan to start seeing fat loss in August
    7/17: 154.6, I forgot to weigh before eating this morning. Happy I'm still the same weight Hopefully I have reached my peak of weight gain. Body is adapting to higher fat diet
    7/18: 154.2, I forgot to weigh myself before eating. Surprisingly I still recorded a loss! I think I'm finally going to start trending down
    7/19: 153.4, Still need to workout today
    7/20: 154.0, I ate alot of bacon yesterday which probably caused me to retain water. Nice observation to watch the amount of bacon
    7/21: 154.0, I forgot to weigh myself before eating again!🙃 I'm still out of town so not in routine right now. I most likely would of had a recorded loss today. I weighed myself right after eating when I remembered lol :)
    7/22: Traveled yesterday, wasn’t able to weigh in
    7/23: 153.4, so happy my body is finally fat adapted. I’m ready to lose weight. Hoping I can get to 151.6 by the end of this challenge :)

    64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 193 ( my 125th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.

    Goal this round is just to lose, I want my Commonwealth Volunteer uniform to feel a little less “snug” ! (First shift is Wednesday !! ) No binges, keep within calories & macros.
    Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Before that I need to do supermarket shopping & catch up with housework, will also try to get a walk in.
    7/25

    KEEP SAFE EVERYONE :). Keep calm – Covid is still out there despite lifting of practically all restrictions, take care, remain vigilant we're still in this together!

    @quiltingjaine I admire your pure honesty and delight in your sense of humor. I have struggled with real true binging in the past. I mean thinking about the masses of sugar and sodium I had put in front of myself in those moments now makes me nauseous. Just imagine your kitchen table loaded full of junk food and going to town, that was me. That’s why I can’t over restrict myself anymore or buy into the “cheat day” mentality ever again.

And maybe drinking too much OJ while at it.

    I too am guilty of being a binger, it seems that once I go off track I can't stop, even when I have cleared the house of all the chocolate/cakes/biscuits that I like, I crave even more and have even been known to eat dark chocolate bought for DH that I really don't like!!!! And I will keep on until there is physically no more room in my stomach for anymore, then I feel extremely sick, bloated, uncomfortable & can never sleep that night. So you would think that I would learn from this? But like any addict, the addiction craving at times just takes over!! :(. I find that not eating them at all does for me mostly stop me binging, however, if I am really in control I can on rare occasions weigh out a limited amount of e.g.chocolate, logging it, eating it slowly & mindfully. I really wish that I could do this all the time!! I wonder if hypnosis would help? Has anyone tried it?
