Thanks everyone! I really don't want to go back up and that immense pressure is constant. I ended up binge eating yesterday (only confessing about half of it to my husband). It's behind me I guess and I worked my tail off at the gym this morning bc I felt so guilty.
Does our fat brain ever go away?!0 -
I think that (fat brain) depends on how much work we do on the mental side, but honestly, I'm inclined to believe that much like other addicts (I consider most of us in some form to be or have been food addicts), the impulse is always there, as that is the response we've conditions ourselves for a lifetime to respond to. However, I believe that the impulse can be dimmed to a very quiet voice in the back of our minds that is easily ignored after a time... But the underlying impulse, like a person wanting a drink or a smoke in response to a stressful situation, even a decade laterl, that underlying impulse will never completely go away. We just lessen it's control on us so that the binge-eating and or other food reactions happen less and less often over time. Banish that guilt, accept your choice, work your butt off at the gym, and move on!
