HOW?
I'm STILL trying to stop this insane eating patern. I've not gone a sizr
larger but clothingis fitting more snug. How does one get back to the BETTER eating? Remember, I can do almost no exercise. The battle has become harder. glo |

What was insane about your eating pattern?

BCJ asked: what is wrong with my eating patern?
Well I just eat way too much but I never feel satisfied. I can't seem to get to healthy eating. I've lost over 100 lbs about 20 years ago with a gain of maybe 14 lbs. I can't turn it around and I can get little exercise as I'm with ms. I go to a sedendary job three days a week. I just seem to binge & I can't stop this. glo |

My guess on uncontrolled appetite is that either you were previously calorie
restricted, and the body is compensating, or there is a nutritional deficit, and the body is trying to correct the deficit. It is also possible that high carbs can exacerbate the effect.

The battle has become harder. glo Glo, First step is you need to start tracking your intake again. Set asside your food requirement for the day and be sure to have plenty of food, keep it high protein and cut down on the sugary carbs and empty calories. For me, the first 2 weeks are the worst, but by the 3 week I've settled into a groove and can do ok with food. Maybe you are similar. I'd suggest you just get back to the eating pattern that has been successful for you in the past. Be sure to not under eat. Make plenty of healthy food available. Don't try to cut your calories too far. Get back on track and past the first couple weeks then make small changes after that (like limit calories a bit more). The key is to get past the craving stage. Once you get past your cravings stage your body will readjust. |

I'm on SB YES! But I get cravings and than I give in. I'm starting over
again on EVERY Sun . Winter blues make it tough to stick to my plan. I get this panic feeling very often. glo |

Remember, I can do almost no exercise. The battle has become harder. glo I don't know about you but I often find myself slipping back into old habits that cause weight gain. Things such as too much snacking between meals, larger portions, not keeping properly hydrated, too many carbs and not enough vegetables and fruits, etc. When this happens I make a conscious effort to start journaling again. Just putting it down on paper or using Fitday seems to get the eating under control again. I also make it a point to keep some low calorie foods available for snacking. Good luck on getting back on track. Beverly |

"Gloria" wrote in message ... I did cut back too far ! I get carried away and than I binge again. Thanks for a great post!! glo that's what I thought. :-) ya know, one thing that has worked for me is when I'm really struggling with getting back on track then I'll find the way of eating that works (for you, SB) but instead of trying to cut the calories back to a "weight loss" mode, I'll try to eat at maintenance level, but stick to on plan foods only. After a week or so, once the hard part of craving junk has passed, then I'll start cutting back on food. That is how I made it to week 3 this time. Those first 2 were really hard, as I did have my moments where I wanted junk. I also found at those times - to post here really helped. Yeah, so people commented I was being too obsessive. But here I'm at week 3 and I'm back into my groove. Good luck. You know you can do it! You've done it before. You just have to find your groove. |

After a week or so, once the hard part of craving junk has passed, then I'll start cutting back on food. This is what I'm planning to try if I fall off the wagon again - which I'm not showing signs of at the moment, but it has always happened at some point before so I need to consider it. I badly need to break free of my "all or nothing" thinking, and if I fall I'm going to try eating at maintenance level until I'm ready to carry on. It would be so much better than going from 1500 calories one day to 4000 or 5000 the next, and then having to start again with a lot of regained weight to lose. janice |
