Guest guest Posted March 20, 2000 Report Share Posted March 20, 2000 Yes , a sudden large weight gain is only water bloat just as a sudden large weight loss is only water loss cuz fat doesn't go on and off so quickly. As far as the binging, although you feel it was just emotional, maybe just maybe, your metabolism needed the extra fuel too, especially while adapting to this new menstrual cycle. Your metabolism has been supercharged since starting your weightloss and TB so don't fret about what you do on days that your will seems weaker. If you are usually making healthy food choices and exercising regular, what you eat on any one day (or three) isn't going to affect the big picture that much but fretting over the scale can ruin what could have been a perfectly good day too. Barb who defintely loses more on the scale by eating more and hasn't let the scale affect my attitude much during the 10 month plateau or else would have surely given up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2000 Report Share Posted March 20, 2000 , Congrats on losing that pound. You broke the 170 barrier....which means in no time you'll b working on that 160 barrier. For some reason I always get stuck at those...but it feels great to bust em. You know your eating the last few days might have had a purpose. When I don't feel well I eat MUCH more and I think its because my body needs more nourishment during those times. Remember in those bloated says to cut out excess sodium and caffine and drink extra water!!!! Yes, the water weight is only temporary, but if you feel bad about yourself during those times (which you shouldn't) then maybe you need to take some extra steps to avoid them. I'm going through that time right now <sigh> and yes I am eating much more than normal. Yesterday I had a PB & J for breakfast, Lunch was two slices of pizza (I did take all the meat, olives and some cheese off) and dinner was <;_(> a shared awesome blossom appetizer at Chili's (my favorite) a salad and ahalf a plate of lettuce wraps (I love those too) and a Calypso Cooler (another Fave) Then I also had a serving of pineapple and a whole package of sun dried tomatoes. I think probably the big unhealthy choices were the drink and the appetizer....but I had a large quantity of the healthy stuff while I was at it. We all do it...and I think there is a reason for eating more during those times. We just need to know not to continue the pattern after a few days.

I love those onion things at Chili's! Have you ever had the " guiltless chicken pita " ? OMG, it is soooooo good !!!! Anyway, what happened with me, it wasn't about hunger or needing more calories. It was 100% emotional. I had an outright binge, feeling miserable the whole time I was eating. I usually eat a pretty large amount of food and don't feel bad because I usually make healthy choices. You guys would have to hear what I ate Saturday to understand what kind of binges I have. I had just gotten off the phone with my dad. I told him that I had lost 75 pounds. He said, " Wow, now let's see you keep it off " . That really hurt me. (This is the same dad that when I told him I got 108% in one of my classes said, " Do you think it is because you are really smart or everyone else in the class is really dumb? " Ouch!) I had already been feeling insecure because of some things people had said to me as " jokes " . With the weight gain, people's jokes at work, and then my dad's remark, I lost it!! I ate 5 glazed donuts and a 4 pieces of pizza over a 2 hour period. I was not hungry. I don't know why I ate that way. But this is a pattern that I have followed my whole life. I would get upset, eat until I got sick, and then starve myself for days. I have gotten so much better this past year. In fact, I can't remember the last time I went on a binge like this. I forgot what my point was! Oh ya, I don't think my eating was my body needing more food. I think I am just plain mental! LOL! Wow, that was all really embarrassing to admit, especially the donut part! I just wanted you guys to see what one of my binges are. I'll quit rambling now =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My father is the same way. I know my grandmother has a big part to play in that. My goshthat woman is the biggest complainer (don't repeat that Romie). Maybe in his own way he is trying to compliment you. But nonetheless...next time somthing like that comes out of his mouth remember that he is incapable of giving a compliment at the right moment ans since he said whatever he said he must of tried to say one thus you deserve one...you don't deserve a reason to beat yourself up. What have you done over the last few years to deal with emotional binge eating in other circumstances? My thing now is to climb in the bath tub and then get into bed for a few hours if I can...or get a cheesy magazine. I still have some comfrot food though...my favorite being tuna salad sandwhich from an on campus store her (which is really out of the way now) a big thing of taffy (can't remmeber the brand...but yummy) and a Diet Dr. Pepper. After that I usually head to the vending machine for a twix bar or some chocolate gem donuts. Now I just cut out the trip to the vending machine and drink a diet canfields chocolate soda. Heres another idea....take the kids or just yourself to a movie. You can get a snakc but every thing is SO expensive you won't be able to get too much. Or you could always get online and vent immediatly to us..like I do with my MIL. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I pop in the 8 minute tape. Sometimes I have a good cry. Sometimes I read a book. It varies. Lately I have been pounding the heck out of my heavy bag!

So for the past 9 months, I have not had a car during the day! I have been totally stuck in the house! Our credit is the worst so financing a car is not an option. We are FINALLY buying my hubby a pick up truck in a few weeks. Thank God for tax returns!!!!!!! So soon, I will be able to get out during the day. I know that will help my emotional state!

It was basically not to worry too much about over eating because of hormonal changes, because there are equal days when you'll undereat, again because of our cycles so it'll balance out in the end. So, , it's partly natural anyway, and there's no need to feel bad about it. If I can find details I'll see about posting it, as I suspect it's in a magazine. BTW there are 2 very good UK magazines for healthy living one is Zest, and the other is the UK version of Shape (in my humble opinion is far better than the US version, because I used to get that too) between them they're a great source on information.

I am making progress, I > guess that is what matters =) , That is so true! I wish I could say you'll never have another binge...but I can't.....sometimes it just happens. What I can say, is that over time it happens less and less and because you are eating much healthier overall and because you allow youreself to actually eat and enjoy the things you want...the cravings aren't as strong and the tendency to overindulge is not as frequent! But, it will still happen on occasion....you will have moments where you revert back to that old way of thinking and you let your emotions dictate what goes into your mouth! We are human afterall, and after years of having this behavior seem " normal " to us...it is impossible to think that we will never fall back into our old habits! But, it does get easier and it will happen less often and you will come to realize that when it does happen it's not the end of the world and that the answer is not to starve yourself to make up for the binge...but to simply get back into your normal healthy eating habits. You start to understand that a few days of binging has no long term impact on your overall progress and you become less and less reliant on the scale as your only means of meausuring your success. When that happens (and it will) you will have no reason to beat yourself up because you ate too much for a couple of days....there will be nothing to make you feel bad...because the thing that used to make you so upset (the scale) has no power over the way you feel about yourself anymore!

I'm so glad to hear that you didn't let this setback throw you off track! That is one of the most important signs that you are in fact healing....that you were able to look at your behavior the past 3 days and say " you know what, it happened, there's nothing I can do about it now....so I'm just going to get right back on track " . You are definitely going to reach your goals because you continue to reach for them, even when things get tough and try to get in your way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2000 Report Share Posted March 20, 2000 Hi -Thanks for the great post. You not only helped , but you helped me. I haven't been able to get back into a healthy eating routine since my vacation. It's been along time since I've gone this long and yes, I always feel lethargic after eating poorly. I'm not sure what the right answer is for me, at least not at this moment. What's saving me from gaining a lot of weight, is all the exercising that I do. But, I can't deny that I've gained weight. I have and that is disappointing. I'll stop here, cause I'll start rambling. I just wanted to thank you for a post that was right on target.
