Topic: RE: How do you know when it's binge eating?
I'm not beating myself up so much as I'm fascinated by the behavior LOL
What I'm finding is that my attitude is entirely different in those moments. You're right, if it's not planned then, in my case, it is almost always binging. But there's a weird feel to it, almost a mild mania about getting this other (mistaken) stuff into my body. A strange dogged determination that is entirely beyond rational thought.
I can be standing at the cabinet, SAYING to myself, I want it but I'm not going to have it -- at the same time as I am shoveling bits and pieces of it into my mouth. I'm telling you, the part of me that's eating is NOT the part of me that's thinking!!!

Omigo****'s finally SATURDAY! Finally, finally, finally!
So . . ., today will be as low-carb as I can stand it LOL. Gonna give myself at least two full days back on induction before heading back to work Monday morning, and see if better planning for stressful possibilities can help me out!
So . . . post your plan for the day, or your final total, but we all wanna see what yer eatin' (and know, as always, what's eating you!)

0900 Saturday...
3 boiled eggs and 2 Ryvita with butter for breakfast - STUFFED!
3 or 4 all meat sausages for lunch
4 ozs cheese
2 Atkins bars
Grilled breast of lamb for dinner
Coffee and fruit teas
At the moment I need to carry some fast-acting carbohydrate with me as my blood sugars are quite low. I may have to see my doctor to reduce my diabetic medication again - YAY!!

Topic: RE: How do you know when it's binge eating?
I always know I'm about to do it because I plan my food and when I binge, it's not planned. So in a way it is planned because I have to think about it. Once the idea is in my head, I will continue to go back for more until my Sleevie hurts. I have only done this a couple of times since surgery. What I eat, and it may just be dinner, won't be the dense protein that I had planned. That leaves me room for more sliders.
I think that there is such an emotional component to binge eating. You're right, we can't do much damage because of our Pouch/Sleeve/Band but we can still do the emotional damage. For me, I feel bad about myself afterwards because it's not how I want to process/behave/react to my life/world etc.
Off the top, maybe it's a way to feel bad about ourselves because we are powerless to really be angry/sad/blah blah blah about what's really going on?
Lisa, is this something that happens often or once in awhile. I had my 2 ounce nut binge last weekend and I was able to let it go but I had to write about it, talk about it and make sure that it wasn't secret eating or I might keep doing it.
We're all human. Some people drink/gamble/shop/eat/abuse others etc. There's those times where we just want to escape and all those years of eating lead us back to our best escape friend.... food. Don't beat yourself up over it. Be forgiving and if you find it happening often, think about something like OA to help with the emotions behind the food.

I get yummy protein chips online. I think it's 14 carbs, 10 protein. I haven't had them since I started really low carb but I do like them. If I go to a movie, I'll take them rather than have the popcorn.
I had a great day today.
Yoga class, 3.5 mile walk with WLS buddies, and then a date tonight where we ate out but I did good. I was really pleased to order a 1/3 pound grilled burger with lettuce, no bun and nothing else but a sip of water afterwards. He asked if we should order something wicked like fries and I said no. Hah! I can do it. :)
4 oz steak
4 oz steak
protein pudding
1/3 lb hamburger patty with some lettuce
Calories - 870
Protein - 102
Carbs - 9

Oy Lisa, I can so relate on the kids. I had 4 of them (3 step) at the same time.
I would never have thought to use cabbage. You are brilliant and I'm going to try that sometime!
