I went on a eating binge.....

Hello All Really hoping that I am not the only one who has had this experience. Not that I want anyone else to feel this way but I hope if anyone out there has had these issues and over came them they will share the secret of thier victory. Had a great day yesterday stayed within my calorie, fat, carb, and protien guidlines...until about 9pm last night. Then I had four low fat graham crackers and a three tbls of peanut butter and a banna. Here is the worst part I was still craving more. I was not sick full or did I dump. Really no comparison to my old binges...but if you do the math of my snack last night ohhh baby that was alot. I have expolred my state of mind at the time... the only factors I can question are I was fighting my 7year old to go to bed for the 13th night in a row...fyi she has been grounded from her friends for 12 of those days for bedtime issues...and I am just about to start my ummm you know, monthly cycle... I will add for those of you who are just getting to know me I had RYN proximal and can eat most anything and never feel full. I am going to a nut on Monday with my fitday in hand and start my behavior modifacation therapy AGAIN on Tuesday It is amazing that I have lost 70lbs and I know my long term sucess depends on working out these issues. Thanks for letting my rant! Vicky

Vicky, Sounds like you are taking action on this matter! I wish you great success with the nut and behavior modification. This surgery does not rid us of our old eating behaviors, coping skills, and emotional issues. Those we have to work very hard to conquer. Good luck! Kathy

Vicky, You are not the only one who is fighting with themselves over head hunger. I know I am. It is a daily struggle. Most days I win, some I don't! Lori 384/260.5/168

Boy, if that's binging, then I'm in serious trouble... Seriously, not to belittle your experience, cuz trust me, I've been there, but... trust me, I've been there. Right before my period is really bad too. I get very antsy and just want to snack. Sometimes I head it off, sometimes I don't... I think, all things considered, you're doing great! Would have stopped at 4 low-fat grahams, a banana and some pb before? Would you have immediately stopped yourself to figure out what was causing it? Would you have immediately decided to start therapy again? All before WLS? Nahhh, I doubt it... I know it's hard to do but you have to cut yourself a LITTLE slack, if you don't you'll drive yourself bonkers!
