I have to keep all forms of processed sugar out of my home or I will go on a massive binge. I've been known to break open a chocolate bomb just to eat the chocolate, or eat a whole bag of baking chocolate chips! 🤮 Yes, I have issues. Atm, I'm working on addressing this issue through therapy, but in my reality there is no…

Welcome smlalio66. I added you as a friend! I am 57 years old with about 20 pounds to lose.

Slow and steady wins the race! 3 pounds in a month is a great amount of weight loss imo!

Congratulations on your 3 months of sobriety!

Me too! If you kick my butt, I'll kick your's! LOL

Myjourneybeginshere...I could have wrote your post. I struggle with the same type of binge eating disorder. It's really ramped up during the holidays because there is so much food around. I too go to bed at night feeling absolutely guilty about how many calories I have consumed. Each morning I wake up eager and ready to…

I started working out twice a week and the scale went up 3 pounds. Today I am back down 3 pounds. Be patient and give your body time to adjust. Any little change can influence your body weight.

Welcome! Being overweight sucks too. Pick your poison! :wink:

Congratulations on your weight loss! I too lost 27 pounds doing IF. I also watched my carb intake and worked out in a fasted state. It was the first time in my life (56 years) I lost weight effortlessly!

And you are arguing that sugar isn't addictive?

Ninerbuff...If you can eat sugar everyday and not lose control thats awesome. In my case I can't have sugar because I am one of those people that can not control it. Once I start I can't stop. Not EVERYONE gets addicted to sugar, just like not EVERYONE becomes an alcoholic or binge drinker. Some are fine with moderation (…

Wikipedia is a reputable source for information? Lol

Congratulations!

I didn't listen to my own advice! :D I was up very early this morning and started reading older discussions of mine. This particular one struck me because I forgot that I even wrote it and my mindset seemed a lot better at that time when it came to weight loss. Unfortunately, shortly after posting this I went back to my…

As a former keto dieter who lost 20 pounds in 3 months, my advice to you would be not to worry about macros. Just lower your carb intake.

WOW! Looks like I started quite the controversy about sugar addiction on the debate forum. I think it is ridiculous that people take my post and dissect it like that to the point of an argument! This is the main reason I hate asking questions on these forums. Just like social media everyone overreacts and takes what I am…

Oh ya! I just posted about sugar cravings the other day too, so I hear you loud and clear! I struggle with after dinner sugar cravings and have decided to try Ann's strategy and use fruit for those times. Maybe worth a try. Wishing you all the best! 😊 Donna

Thank you for the reminder cmriverside! I know that when I started the keto diet I lost 7 pounds in the first week. Not fat loss, water loss! Still felt good though! 😉

I feel that I am binging because I've been so restrictive with my food (20 grams total carbs) that I have kinda started a eating disorder. I am sick and tired of eggs, meat and low carb veggies everyday. I have lost weight very quickley eating this way but I also feel very deprived. I am at the point where I'm realizing…

No counseling is hard to get into right now and I can't afford it.

My Carbs are from meat, dairy and veggies mainly. I was doing 20g total carbs a day.

Count me in! I need to take a break from the booze and the cravings for junk food that goes along with it! I would like to also kick anything processed out of my diet. Let's do this! :)

Thank you to the original poster and all the others for sharing! I can relate and I am so happy that I'm not alone in this journey! I am 55 years old and have weekend binge drank for almost forty years. I had a year break when I was pregnant but quickly fell back to my 20 beer weekend habit. The older I become the worse I…

That's inspiring @size102b ! Did you lose it with MFP or are you doing something else?

I have the exact same symptoms as you VioletRojo. I tried everything from diet and exercise to spending tons of money on nutritional supplements that really didn't make me feel any better. I started HRT last week on the advice of my doctor and I find that I am already getting some relief. There is nothing worse than…
