Can you avoid having those things in the house?

I don't keep them in. But go and get them to binge on!!!

I find chopping up an apple and eating that instead helps.


I now find apple more attractive than the bad things.


also, I find my fitbit motivational, and walking more will help, yet for me hardly feels like exercising.

I'd really recommend re-reading the book Calley and giving it a go. Four weeks of eating as it recommends and I'm sure you'd see the difference. Once you can start seeing the inches coming off your stomach and the weight coming off on the scales, it makes it so much easier to continue. I do eat carbs occasionally (currently making apple and pear crumble), but they are a treat. The rest of the time we eat really well with good, tasty, filling food, which doesn't make us fat. We do however eat dark chocolate every day, fish and chips on Friday night, and still enjoy a drink at the weekends.

Once you've set yourself going in the right direction, you only need to stick to the correct foods 80% of the time and you'll still be OK.

I have frozen mixed berries and try and eat them when I want something sweet.

Most of my meals are ok its the extras that are the problem. I tend to eat the same thing. Chicken breast with salad or steamed veggies and gravy, bacon and poached eggs a couple of times a week. I live on my own so can eat what I want when I want.

I need to knuckle down and sort this out now. As I really don't want to get any bigger than I am now. According to my scales this week I put on 5lbs. Thats an extra 17500 extra calories I did have a a couple of binges but not that amount.

Could you try writing down how you feel after you've binged? I'm presuming that you don't feel very positive about it at that point?

Perhaps the next time you feel the urge, re-reading how it makes you feel may reduce the temptation to do it?

Sorry, I'm no expert, just some thoughts.

It would be very hard to gain 5lbs of fat in one week - chances are a lot of that is water retention. Do you always weight yourself at the same time of day?

I know how it makes me feel emotionally and physically after a binge. Not very good but it does not stop me from doing it. Even though I know the next day I feel rubbish.

I do my best to weigh myself at the same time of day. After I have been to the loo.

So no idea why I have jumped so much on the scales in a week. I don't normally gain but did just have my period towards the tail of last week. So wonder if it was something to do with that.

of course it has just knocked my confidence and now think what the point in trying !!!!

Ahh yes that's probably what's caused it then, it's perfectly normal to gain a few pounds around that time. Weight yourself again in a week and I bet that 5lbs will have vanished - it's disappointing when the scales go up like that but your weight isn't always an accurate indicator of body fat.

I had another binge this morning and no need for it.

I am going to go to the Dr's as I think that I have an eating disorder as I binge even when I am have eaten and feel full.

I don't purge in anyway.

Need to get this sorted so I can lose weight. I can go weeks with out a binge then bam I binge every few days :eek:

Thanks to everyone for there help with this.
