That sounds v wise! I have had issues with compulsive overeating/binge episodes in the past and logging them definitely helped me too :) I think compensating would probably throw me quickly back into the restrict/binge cycle I was in when I first tried to lose weight. That's a good idea actually! Definitely will be using…

That's a good way to look at it! Definitely think I'll stick w my method of continuing as normal the next day.

Yeah, I think compensating would just make me freak out.

Like others have said, it's totally possible, but I personally wasn't able to do it. I also ended up pretty nervous at the end of the day because I wasn't sure how many calories I had actually consumed even if I had tried to keep an eye on portion size.

Thank you all! This has really confirmed what I've been thinking about intuitive eating just not being for me.

Usually with either 75ml of unsweetened or original almond or soy milk with two sweetener tablets.

This thread has been so interesting to read. I thought I was the only one with issues with eating intuitively.

*but I just go over my calorie goal

Thank you! :) I think that an amazing idea. I didn't even think of doing that. I certainly will try to employ some positive thinking and maybe positive affirmations. I've tried setting smaller goals but I someone just go over my calorie goal anyway :/ I'm just gaining and gaining and ugh

I also should add - around the same time, I started a new year in school. It's been hard work and stressful and my final exams are in May. I'm thinking that all my willpower throughout the year has been drained by school and worrying, leaving nothing left to control my eating? Just a thought. Still no clue how to tackle…

Cool! I'll send you a friend request :)

This is really inspiring and helpful tips! I find that drinks fill me up a lot so I really should use them when I'm struggling. :smile:

What do you mean by this?
