indefenceofsprouts wrote: »I am struggling today for the first time in a little while. Weight hasn't changed - weigh in day is tomorrow so I was hoping for a good day but I am SO hungry today. I haven't felt satisfied by any of my usual meals/snacks and have just eaten dinner at 3.45 because I was just so hungry. It's not looking good with the rest of the afternoon/evening to go. I'm not sure what's going on with me, maybe because it's time of the month but I have tried to go with it rather than fight it and end up in a binge. Just annoying when I hoped I still had a chance to lose for tomorrow.
BUT at the very beginning of the week I shot up 3lbs after a few meals out in a row and I managed to get that back down quickly by not panicking and just getting back into it, so I guess I'll count that as my win (and tbf not gaining tomorrow will be a win after those meals out).
A great win. No need to panic about your scale victory. That will come next week if not tomorrow. You had a great bounce back victory. Time of the month will happen. You are doing a balancing act right now and not falling. Wooohoooo3 -
As many of you know I will be having my 4th surgery tomorrow so I will say good morning bright and early and then I will not be on the rest of the day since I will be out of it ....I will check in on Saturday from my couch

We are in the same boat! I am so sorry you’re feeling this way. It’s so frustrating. You did great by not panicking and getting back to it. You might not see the numbers you want this week, but with your awesome attitude, that will change.
Very inspiring. We all go through this, you’re an example of how to not let get to you and carry on. Great job.

Sending love! I hope your surgery goes well and you can start to put this all behind you, so you can get outside with the kids and pups!

I think we all have days where our body wins over our willpower! I know I get them. The trick is to limit the damage! One day over eating is nothing in the bigger scheme of things. The trick is not to give up .... just get back to your eating plan x3 -

Really really struggling to lose anything now. I've decided to give up trying to reach my goal of 176lb (100lb loss). I'm settling at 94lb loss and moving to maintenance for a while!7 -
@lindamtuck2018
Hi Linda, please move me to maintenance for a few months.
Goal range 182lb to 188lb
Many thanks4 -

Ugh. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for your encouraging words, I'm not going to let you all down and spiral into a sulkfest, I can't deny I'm feeling a little bit sorry for myself, I just won't wallow.
Probably fair for a week with 3 meals out and yesterday's Great Day Of Endless Appetite that was. Onwards!5 -

I see so many wins here. You recognized what you need to do to prevent a binge. Working to lose those 3 pounds and knowing that’s a win is a win. You have compassion for yourself which I learned is a big part of dealing with binge eating.Huckleterrie wrote: »

Truthfully, I am a little disappointed. I really thought I would lose a bit more but I didn’t gain. The positive is I have been slowly losing since November when my weight hit 213. Baby steps! The second positive is I am making much better choices. I am eating more fruit and vegetables. Next step is to improve my weekend choices.
Have a fantastic Friday!6 -
