Weigh more today than last year

Chibea

Well, I went to the doc today for a chat about my medications and my exercise and, of course, she weighed me. Last year at this time I was on my second 10 day juice fast during which I lost one pound per day!! On each fast! Yeah, it was amazing. Trouble is that kind of weight loss doesn't really work for a binge eater like me because it sets up a feeling of deprivation that is a total trigger for me. You can't binge right after finishing a fast, because you would throw up. So, it took a while for me to get back into my usual eating patterns, but now I had all these pictures in my mind of all the foods i didn't get to eat and, of course, I had to eat every one of them to excess :ohwell:

Intermittent fasting is another tempting method that I know I cannot use. "Never let yourself get too hungry, angry, lonely, or tired" (from AA). That is what I need to remember.

I am sort of depressed by seeing the numbers, but I know that slow and steady is going to be the best for me...... And I'm only 5 pounds away and now I'm using a method that is my regular eating pattern, so I will never have to stop.
