stop binge-eating (read all 8 entries…)
A New Week Starts... 8 months ago

So once I came down from my sugar high… I had a great workout today, chicken salad for dinner. And a ton of trail mix. Not a binge per se – but way too much trail mix. I was very cognizant of what I was eating the entire time. When I binge its almost like an out-of-body experience.

But get this, I stopped eating. I just realized that my stomach is full, I don’t need to eat that many peanuts or dried pineapple in one sitting, so I put the lid on the trail mix and shoved in back in the pantry. While I ate more than I planned for today, I still think I took a step forward.

Hide that Easter candy everyone!! We can have a good week.

good job!

I was flipping through the channels last night and saw some show on mindless eating and the guy was trying to train people who overate not to try and limit those foods but to be concious of what they eat. He got them to take a mouthful, put the silverwear down and chew 20 times so you actually taste the food. Cause he said overeaters tend to not see/feel what they are doing when they eat let alone be able to hear the signal from their body that they are full. It was interesting because I too go through the that dont think just eat when I’m in binge mode. I think I’ll try eating slower today and putting my thought into my eating. Heres to a new week!
