I enjoyed it too but I became too preoccupied with food and the numbers. My day would be ruined if I went over etc

Binge eating in my understanding is a biological response to starvation or aggressive calorie restriction. The human body is made for survival, it's like when you hold your breath, the urge to breath is just so strong it's no longer under your control and your body overrides you; similarly binges are the body's way to get…

I I didn't find weighing and logging hard at all, but the obsession with food was getting to me.. I was planning my next meal whilst still eating one meal, I couldn't even decide what to eat for breakfast because I had to overthink the macros etc my food is pretty much the same since my break from logging but I'm not just…

A little update everyone! It will be a week tomorrow since I stopped logging. Still weighing myself daily first thing in the mornings, and maintaining according to happy scale. I've become so much more aware of when I am physically hungry and when I am full. I am not snacking as per usaul; I don't know why this is but I…

Excellent advise thank you :)

Yes maybe try not logging during the week or incoparate the walking during the weekend? I havnt weighed or logged my food for the past 2 days ( Saturday and Sunday) so onto day 3, if i see a gain I will start logging immediately. Not logging has made me more aware of hunger and fullness plus I'm scared of eating my child's…

Spot on

Thanks everyone

Wishing you the best too.. Maintenance definitely brings its own challenges which no one tells you about!

This is my fear, I don't want to start gaining because I know how hard it is to lose

Thank you for your input . Great point about it being more about the consistency than the accuracy. I sweat out everything, every cherry tomato, raspberry and lettuce has to be accounted. I rarely have urges to overeat but i always feel the need to use up my calories even if I'm not hungry because I might be hungry…

it is a relief to to have someone who understands the unhealthy feeling of obsessing. I wonder whether it's the case with every diet plan? I'll take your advice and do it gradually. I think I'll trial this Saturday and see how it affects the scales..thanks a lot xx

Adding you now

Thank you so much!! Very helpful

Thank you everyone, so the 1900 is without exercise? I will eat back my exercise calories and see what happens at next weigh in.
