    My goal is to stay under 1600 calories, allowing for a big meal, a movie night, an event, etc.

    Started Saturday, 6/15 -
    6/15 Day 1 under - 1600 calories [1187] :smiley:
    6/16 Day 2 under - 1600 calories [1299]
    6/17 Day 3 under - 1600 calories [1181]
    6/18 Day 4 under - 1600 calories [1201]
    6/19 Day 5 under - 1600 calories [1345]
    6/20 Day 6 under - 1600 calories [1196]
    6/21 Day 7 under - 1600 calories [1200]

    6/22 Day 8 1607 calories - I'm good with this.

    As I had a night snack after dinner, but I was able to stay in control, because I knew I had a limit! Phew! This challenge is awesome! Thanks!!

    6/23 Day 9 under - 1600 [1593]
    6/24 Day 10 under - 1600 [1208]
    6/25 Day 11 over -1600 [3073]
    Streak 10 days.
    I was not able to control the salt /bread craving. All failed to use self-talk and my strategies. I just caved. TOM. I was prepared with chocolate treats, but not salt. :( ugh. It's a new day!! Back on the horse. I can do this.

    6/26 Day 12 over - 1600 [????] Didn't track. My guess... 2500?
    Longest Streak: 10 days
    Current streak -2
    I'm going to finish the month strong with the next four days and those leading up to the 4th. Mental strength will win!


    6/27 Day 13 over -1600 [????]

    I needed some perspective so that I would stop beating myself up for the past few days of mess ups. 10/14 days is not too bad. Not great. I need to pull myself back up.

    6/29 Day 15 over -1600 [????]

    I'm feeling much better this morning. I can tell that TOM is over, the emotions and hormones are out of my body. I woke up "okay" even though yesterday was another bad day. Today feels new and fresh. aaaaaahhhhhh!

    6/30 Day 16 over -1600 [????]

    I was not able to control the salt /bread craving. All failed to use self-talk and my strategies. I just caved. TOM. I was prepared with chocolate treats, but not salt. :( ugh. It's a new day!! Back on the horse. I can do this.

    I think you could save yourself a lot of days of "????" if on other days you weren't eating so much below your target. It sounds like your body is tired of such low calories and it's making you very hungry, then you eat more on some days as your body tries to recoup the calories.

    Thanks I appreciate the "feed" back... lol pun intended. It's actually a "binge" thing at night that I can control 85% of the time. That's why this thread is helping me. I'm trying to figure out my triggers. I'm not at the point where I need to sustain my weight, I'm still on the losing process. I have my calories set at 2000 to allow for a binge. And my daily calorie goal is set at 1600 to allow for a cheat meal. But I try to stick to 1200-1400. When I binge it's not just one item, it snowballs into me eating everything in the kitchen!! :) And then the binging attitude lasts for several days until I can get it back in control.

    I will seriously consider your advice. Again thanks.

    I know things have been going well for you.
    Do you track when are binging?

    Ooh this looks like a great idea. My UCG is under 1800 kcal a day (though I have MFP set to maintenance at 2080 kcal currently). The last three days I have stayed under 1800 kcal-- Wed 1652; Thurs 1769; Fri 1617.

    Thanks for asking. No, I usually don't, that's what gets me into trouble. I just give up and don't track. THAT is the habit I need to break... being honest with myself, regardless of the consequences. Making myself be mindful.

    I was not able to control the salt /bread craving. All failed to use self-talk and my strategies. I just caved. TOM. I was prepared with chocolate treats, but not salt. :( ugh. It's a new day!! Back on the horse. I can do this.
