I have lost one pound in one day.... I guess it's not real but what happens at the beginning of a diet.
Possible reasons:
-water weight
-fat stored in the liver (it's about 1.5-2kg)
-#2 after some days
Yesterday evening I haven't stayed on track... I spent the afternoon crying and being sad. At dinner time I wasn't really hungry but ate anyway as a social moment with my partner.
I had tuna and tomatoes. Then the "overeating monster" arrived and I had about 70 grams salami and 4 dutch cookies (stroopwaffel). When I overeat as a substitute for emotional support it always ends up being food that remind me of people who love me. Salamiwas the kind my grandma gave me as a snack when I was a kid (I wasn't abig fan of sweets back then) and the dutch cookies reminded me of a good friend of mine I met in the Netherlands (it's lunch was 3 cookies of this kind).
After my practice of self kindness and self compassion, I won't judge myself. I'm a human being with feelings and emotions, and sometimes I still replace the need for emotional support by eating food without being hungry.
Have a good day you all :-)

the weight loss is encouraging nonetheless, Lizzie. Looks like you controlled the monster, and noted the emotional component that goes along with. Compassion is good. Very happy about that.

Thanks Hellen! I'm trying to write down what I feel when overeating. The good thing is that after writing that I moved away from the kitchen/living room and started sorting out clothes in my wardrobe. That helped me to change focus from eating to doing something else. I hope it will work again, controlling the monster!! :)
