Thanks, this is usually the point where I sabotage and have a weight gain but this time I plan to stay the course and continue to lose.

You got this darling!

OMG, I thought I was the only one who did this! For whatever reason, whenever I see a new low or get an unusually big drop, I get the subconscious urge to binge later that day and I have to actively fight it. I have no idea why this happens! Maybe it's connected to using food as a reward, but it happens literally every time!

That's interesting! I've never experienced this! Good numbers motivate me to do more...it'd be fascinating to study the psychology behind this

It is very weird and incredibly counterproductive. I won't even be hungry and out of nowhere, my body (or mind, I guess) will literally scream for food. Serious, serious self-sabotage. That, the frustration of water fluctuations, and being depressed if I don't see a good loss (and subsequently binging because I'm upset) are the reasons why I don't like weighing daily. The scale can really put me on an emotional roller coaster.

This is me too. I think I'm doing so well, so I can eat more or something. But... I think OMAD has cured me of this because I just eat whatever now as long as it's in my window. I think for me it's just a thing I do now - I don't eat in the day. I don't consider what I eat in my eating window to ever be a binge, even if it's not the best food or too much. I still do have some guilt around food - like last night I thought I'd eaten too much (and I really had), but I keep telling myself it's WAY less than I would have eaten in an entire day before, so who cares. I think giving myself permission to not be perfect is half the battle here. I only have the one rule - I don't eat in the day. And if that day needs to end at 3pm on a weekend or because I'm super hungry, it's no biggie. Hopefully the perfectionist thing hasn't just transferred to that one rule for me though! I don't think it really has, as I was pretty relaxed about my eating when I was in San Diego. I didn't eat in the day, but I did relax my window timing and how late it went!

Of course, it's only been about 5 months, so we'll see how I go...

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh nice drop Tracey!

Go, girl! No sabotaging!!!!
