Shygetslean's Journal, 18 September 2014

Binge eating is the worse! all the best! just don't be too hard on yourself, you will get there ....after all we are human and we will slip up once in a while ;) 

I'm the same can't open a choc or packet of chips and have a little must eat the whole thing if i open it. Good Luck Shygetslean , think if it wasn't for weekends i would have been at goal weight long ago. but as Fati say we just Human after all.. and we are trying to make a difference with our health and eating .  

I have this thing in my mind every time that I will reset on Monday and then I eat as if it's the last food in the world and Saige - me too. I can not have little by little and have it lying there daunting me, but I am training myself ! Bought a whole packet of liqourice twist / cables and still have one left since Tuesday - to me this is a record! Discipline is hard, but you can train to have it ! Step by Step we grow stronger and healthier !!  

And PS: Thanks for the support xx  

@Shygetslean ..You will see i was snaking away as well yesterday , didn't know popcorn will push up my cal intake so much , but ya it did , my colleague is that discipline type that same packet of popcorn she will eat over 3 days , nOt me that packet is up in like 15min maybe less. that's why i will rather not start eating something because i know i can't stop or keep for later. Well done on you for taking control i must really try .. but I'm also the type I will eat and just exercise hard. The only thing I did right so far is keeping this Lindt dark choc alive in my draw .. its been 3 weeks tomorrow , that's a world record for me only prob is if i open it... maybe i must try eating it over 18 days one piece a day. hahaha  

Yep I also learned recently that popcorn is not as guilt free as we thought - also a "Moderation" object it seems :) It's hard to exercise keeping things close by without munching into it too much , but I think once we broke that habit of just eating it cause its already open it will be easier , but it's hard to get to that point I am not going to lie ! Haha okay 18 days is a bit rough, but maybe start small and try to limit yourself to 1/2 and next time you try to make it a 1/4 ! And every time you will notice that you automatically stop once you have had enough ! It's a long road ... but atleast we took the first step so now it's just keeping 1 foot in front of the other !  

I propose rather than buying it, opening it and be tempted to eat the lot, not to buy it in the first place. It works for me, because I can also not only eat a little but at a time. 

I am the same!!! Lmao! That's why I prefer to have people around when I am opening something huge so we can share...I notice bying smaller, portion controls snacks helps me ...xxxx
