Time restricted eating - skipping breakfast, other had success?
I had some success with avoiding kcal intake until midday. I appreciate this won't work for everyone but was great for me.Work can be quite stressful, I would walk past the biscuits and think no not until 12.30.

Rye bread - yep had the lot. Does anyone believe in carb addiction
I think this emphasises why I can’t have carbs. Freshly cooked rye bread - I ate the lot at breakfast. Oh the shame. It’s probably just greed but reminds me I’m better off not having carbs as I have no stop button. It was plain fresh cooked rye bread. I wonder if carbs do just overload the brain with feel good factors!

I fell off the wagon... emotional eating. Venting- sorry.
I think I’ve been fighting a viral infection and yesterday did ++ exercise. My mood today was flat and the carbs have been sneaking back in, but I have started really overeating again ;I’m too embarrassed to say what).

Has anyone else found weight from Christmas appeared a few weeks after?
I was amazed over the Christmas period I gained zero weight at the time. I overate. Today sudden weight gain, I haven’t been overeating or adjusted carb intake. My trousers all felt tighter. Do you think it’s true that weight gain can take a while to accumulate. I certainly haven’t been overeating over the past week or so.
