I'm sorry to hear you're struggling Summer :( It sucks. Just an update...this week has been up and down. Currently WAY down. I've been trying to eat keto to stabilise my blood sugar and hopefully reduce my cravings and binges. Unfortunately I've had the most awful day today. Non stop eating all day, and I feel physically…

So the first day went well, didn't feel hungry at all. Today however has taken a bit of a nosedive...ended up eating some dark chocolate and a few too many nuts. However - I think I've learnt that I need to bulk my meals out a bit more with dark greens, and make sure I don't skimp on the protein (being mostly vegetarian…

Thanks for your responses PatchEFog and Leonidas_meet. I'm interested to give the l-glutamate and chromium a go, as I haven't tried either of those but I may see how the big drop in carbs affects my hunger first. Perhaps my hunger won't be triggered so much following keto properly? We'll see... I won't stress too much…

Sorry I haven't replied. Have been having a bad time with food. Not sure how to get out of this rut...My insides are hating me :(

Agh, thanks. I'm too ashamed to log any of my binge though :( I'm going to try and think of something good to do. I have a bit of an all or nothing approach which I need to work on. How are you doing today?

Oh cake. The plate idea is a good one, which in theory I attempt, but in practice, not so much. I'm gonna have to stop being so lazy with my intake. I just don't feel like cooking lately, and all the easy options are carb heavy. Do you have any quick go-to's when you can't be bothered cooking?

New here, but welcome Girlviernes. Good luck with your efforts - you seem to be going in the right direction :)

Thanks Girlveirnes. I haven't started off today too good....started binging after breakfast. My willpower is lacking today...

Thanks for the good vibes...I did slip up after dinner as it turned out. But I stopped before it got too ridiculous, and even though I feel disappointed and too full, I did WAY better than yesterday. Here's to a better day tomorrow... Hope you're riding out those dinner cravings. It's hard to get anything done when you're…

Thanks for the advice. I need to book a doctors appointment really... I don't feel that motivated at the moment though, haven't had much success with them in the past. I'll look up those books though, it's always good to read a new perspective on things :)

You can do it Jen :) How are things now? Does gum work for you? Sometimes it makes my stomach more unsettled so I want to eat more.... Drinking water is always a good plan though. Sometimes trying to do something active like a few stretches/squats/lunges re-energises me a bit and dampens the eating urge. Obviously at work…

Amazing! You're inspiring me today. After the worst binge ever yesterday, I've been doing really well. Was up late but had a normal lunch, and a couple of small snacks. Now planning a healthy dinner, a nice cup of tea and bed :) I hope I can make it one day binge free. It's been too damn long. I'm sure you can keep up your…

Eeeee! Way to go :) I recognise those superhuman feelings when you manage a binge free day. Awesome job x And life has a way of bringing you sheet cakes when all you wanted was dragons....
