body dysmorphia - sadly it just sometimes goes hand-in-hand with major weight loss......it can take a loooooong time for the mind to catch up to the body...if it helps any, a full year after I'd lost all my weight I felt "fake skinny"...like someone (who'd never seen me at any other size) would randomly comment on my size (like "you're tiny, you can sqeeze in between) and I'd think "they just don't realize I'm really fat" (yea, bizzarro)...or how about every single night for months I'd have to put on what I was planning to wear to work the next day because I had the idea that I was so big nothing in my closet was going to fit cause I'd look at the clothes and they didn't seem to bear any relationship to my "actual" body size.....eventually, mercifully, the mind catches up . Anyway chica, big doesn't equal ugly, and skinny doesn't equal pretty. Pretty equals pretty. You happen to be physically pretty (and I wouldn't say it if I didn't believe it cause I hate when people go around saying "ohhhh you're soooooo pretty" when it's not true but they wanna be nice). Now you're pretty at a larger size, one day you'll be equally pretty at a smaller size.

| Well put, suenos. I somehow have an issue with never seeing myself as fat as I was (or am getting to be again) and somehow rationalizing that I look "OK" when overweight- but I also had the same issue when I lost the weight (last time around) and could not see myself as thin then either. I think logically I knew I was thin, I mean I had size 6 and 8 pants and I didn't have to try on 17 things before I could leave the house every day, but somehow I would still be looking for lumps and bumps, yet when I was a 22, I could just throw on a tent and somehow think I looked OK... the mind is a funny thing~

Thank you Suenos and mj, it helps so much to know I'm not the only one who struggles with this. Sometimes I feel like just giving up because my weight loss doesn't seem real to me and why do something if I can't tell the difference? But it is worth doing, I know that, it just makes it harder sometimes.
Thanks to everyone who stops by my diary, I really appreciate the support!
Getting back into the swing of things has been hard this time. Everything seems to be suffering at the moment, my eating habits, my house work, my sleep schedule. I don't know why I'm so down and out, but it's starting to get real old. I don't like life spiraling out of control and taking whichsoever course it chooses. I like to be the one in the drivers seat. Why am I letting it happen? No worries, it's not so bad as this post seems, but it is disconcerting. I feel like the lost person I was before. And it's not a good feeling. I go home with every intention of being a good girl and eating right, only to find my hand in the cookie jar five minutes later. Then I look at it and think, "how did that get there." It's like I'm blindly searching for comfort and finding it in food. But I don't know why I need that comfort so badly right now. Okay, well, I kind of do. Let's be honest. The holidays were rough for me; I'm still not at ideal weight, I saw a lot of people I haven't seen in a long time, who make me feel unproportionate and unworthy and there was good food everywhere staring me down. I didn't actually do bad until after Christmas, and it was like one big explosion! Now I have to pick up the peices.
Today is a new day. Baby steps, I'll get back to where I need to be.

| Seems like the holidays bring out emotional eating in a lot of us, in addition to the fact that good food is EVERYWHERE. I mean, why would someone give a 2 lb box of chocolates? This is the only time of year where it's OK to have food out all the time, to gorge oneself. It will get easier now that the holidays are past... for your sake and mine! Babysteps, girl, babysteps.

| Just a suggestion that worked really, really well for me (I did it for nearly a year)...my horrible nightly food choice had been ice cream...everynight I'd come home from work and head for the pint of Ben and Jerry's....then I when I went "sugar free" I discovered that a blender of fat-free yogurt+crushed almonds or walnuts + ff/sf pudding mix of any flavor + berries + skim milk + crushed ice made an incredibly delicious and satisfing, low calorie substitution and I could come home and "induge" without feeling "guilty" cause, other than the small amount of fake suger in the ff/sf pudding mix, it was nothing unhealthy and the whole giant bowl (which I usually couldn't even finish) was under 200 cals....I don't know why, but after about a year I just lost my taste/desire for it and it slowly went away as a nightly thing. So, maybe you could find a low cal but satisfying snack you could trade for your nightly cookies?

ThinGirl, I can relate to you on so many levels.
Glad to hear you say that it IS worth doing, because you are so very worth it. It's easy to get caught up in the semantics of it all, but in the end, you are undergoing a life-changing event.
I, too, have felt like the person I used to be, lately. However, we are NOT those people. They are outdated little icons that have been thrown in the Recycle Bin. Maybe it's time for us to go in the Recycle Bin and remove them for GOOD. 
Just the mere fact that we have come this far speaks volumes. Be proud of what you have accomplished, because it's a biggie, more than many people would have the willpower to succeed at. Just step back, take a deep breath, and relish in your great successes thus far. This is a big journey, and like so many journeys, you have to acknowledge where you have been to reach your destination.
Good luck, and I know you can do it!!!

mj- You're so right, it's like the holidays unleashed this binging monster. Hopefully now that they're over things will start to look up.
Suenos- I love icecream! Of course that's why I try not to eat it! But for under 200 calories a bowl I might just have to try your low cal version. It's very true that I crave sweets in the evening. It's like a reward after my long day. Maybe giving in just a little, with a low cal alternative will help.
Nick- Thank you so much. I read your post and did sit back and take a deep breath. I NEED to do that more often. I'm tense and worried all the time, one of the many reasons I binge so much. I really just need to relax!
Things I should do that might help and definently won't hurt me.
drink more water!
get more sleep!
organize!
eat more fruits and veggies!

| Uggghhhh, you are much stronger than me if you can eat a low cal alternative and have it satisfy you. In fact, I know for myself I just need to stay away from sweets, and most especially in the evening~ Good luck getting things back in control and moving forward. I'll be right there with you so we can get rid of those old icons and pick sexy new ones!

So I think I want to try and re-visit some of the tools that helped me back in the day. Its not that I find myself back at square one, but that Im bingeing a lot again, and that's what started me on this weight loss journey in the first place.
What did I do, must rack my brain!
First and foremost my biggest obstacle has always been nighttime eating, that is my trigger point. It's like all of the stress of the day builds up and I pop! There goes the diet plan out the window. In the begining when I first started fighting this, I would say, okay, wait until tomorrow, just hold off one night, and the thing you're craving you can have it then. And I would plan to have it. But by the time I woke up the craving would be gone, and the urge to binge and I would either not eat it at all or have a very small portion.
I used slimfast shakes because they do seem to curb hunger, and if I couldn't think of a good meal that was fast and I could easily control the portion they were a good option
Sugar free candy, gum and fruit were my best friends. I was armed with these all the time!
Babysteps. More babysteps and a lot more babysteps. I have to remember this doesn't happen over night. And if I push myself it doesn't help. My goal should first and always foremost be to not binge, weight loss should always come second. Being in control of my eating habits is the big issue.

Thanks for the reminders of what works. I was doing lots of those things when I lost quite a lot of weight- especially gum and sugar free mints, not to mention brushing my teeth and putting my retainers in (I'm 3, but had braces as an adult haha). I never do those things anymore, but will have to put them back in my arsenal.
I am also a late night binger. One thing I did before, and I am going to do now, is add back a "free" dinner and dessert night on weigh-in night (gives me 6 days to take care of any damage hehe). That way, if I am craving something, I know I can have it Friday night. Tonight is ice cream I think haha! I don't think I will ever conquer the "Binge Monster" but I can certainly keep trying~

mj if we can't conquer we'll control right? For the most part anyway . Honestly a few months ago I was doing so good I thought I had said goodbye to binges forever, but now I think it's something I'll always have to work at, and know is lurking waiting to spring when I least expect it.
So today I started a juice/protien shake/soup fast. Last night I made some horrible decisions that made me feel not so awesome and now I'm trying to re-set my system to normal (and feeling healthy). So far so good, I really think I'll start this as a weekly thing. I feel great and I'm not having a lot of cravings.

One thing that helps me reset after a binge (or series of binges!) is to eat very high protein, low carb menus for a few days. Lots of eggs or eggbeaters, tuna salad, lean protein and salads. I do agree with your statement- we will have to learn to control vs. conquer. It's when I get lulled into a false sense of security that I start to slide and allow the behavior back in.
Last night was my "free" night which I am going to incorporate into each week, and you would think it was actually entitled "free for all" so don't beat yourself up too bad about your bad choices, you have company~ Good luck with your fast and hopefully it will set things back on the right track for you.

| OK, thin, I came over to bug you... I was reading up on some of the general discussions, and in one I saw that you commented about always being cold, and in another that you had thinning hair. Someone suggested a doc visit. I wondered if you ever got your thyroid checked out? I had symptoms like that, and went to an endocrinologist. My problem didn't show in the regular screenings, but the specialist ran all these other tests and pinpointed the exact hormone that was low. My issue was from a major surgery, so they just monitored me to make sure my hormones leveled themselves out. As soon as they did, all symptoms disappeared... no more comeover, no more extra sweaters, no more scratchy dry skin~

mj- you may be onto something. Thyroid problems run in my family. But I've always had a hard time getting a doctor to investigate further than the run-of-the-mill tests. And those always come back normal.
I'm very bloated today. I've been on a juice soup fast and my canned soup salt is catching up with me. I feel it in my fingers. So now that I'm not fasting anymore my diet will be as follows
low sodium
high fruit/veggie
high protien
low carb
Okay, so that's not very specific but that's my guidelines
I feel like I need to be more accountable, I stopped keeping really good track of what I'm eating. Today isn't shaping up wonderful food wise, but here goes...
high fiber cereal with whole milk 210
coffee x 2 200 (no sugar so this might be a high estimate)
half turkey sandwich 250
-plans for the rest of the day....
1 cup grapes 105
slimfast 180
2nd half sandwich 250
salad with avacado 200
For an estimated total of: 1395

| Thin, your diet sounds exactly like mine haha. No real name for it, but I avoid the carbs from refined whites like breads, pastas, and I steer clear of rice and potatoes a lot too. Just makes me crave more and eat bad stuff!

 I'm hungry because I'm bored
Not much more to say than that. I'm at work until six and then I'm picking up take-n-bake. But I'm not having any!!! Later this evening my sister is coming over to watch movies, so of course everyone wants pizza. I'm making a big salad, so hopefully that will cut down on my cravings. I hate to do this to myself, but people so rarely come over to my house. I think I'm going to use an old trick. If tomorrow morning I'm still craving pizza I can have a piece. But I have to wait until then. Sometimes that works. I have plenty of sugar-free candy at home to keep my mouth busy. I might need to buy some gum.
My half sandwich didn't fill me up so I'm off to guzzle some water cheers!!

| Good luck with the pizza! I rarely order it because it would be so hard to have it in the house and not eat it. I don't have any problem when I make it at home for everyone to eat haha because mine can't compare to takeout pizza. I did the big salad trick myself tonight, and added some blue cheese crumbles which really hit the spot. Usually I load on the blue cheese dressing, but using the crumbles and some balsamic vinagrette gave me a great taste for less calories... I actually thought YUM about salad haha~

mj- that sounds really good, I just happen to have some blue cheese crumbles at home because my husband loves them on crackers. I'll have to try them out.
Okay the hungry monster went away. Which just confirms that I wasn't really hungry it was just in my head. But it feels like my tummy saying it's hungry and that's so confusing!!! One more hour to go and I'm going nuts with boredom. I just want to go home and NOT eat pizza!!!

| My weigh in day is Friday too. I think we are on the same plan, as I binged on Monday and then have eaten healthy and within calorie range since. Let's make it to Friday and to a loss together!!! We can do this, I know we can. See, now I am motivated to get off the computer and exercise~

11th bad
12th good
13th good
14th bad (bout 500 cal binge)
15th good
Not a great pattern, but I'm working on it. I can't deny it, my weight really is 194. My weigh in is supposed to be tomorrow, but might as well be today. It's very depressing. That's alright though. I'm gonna start being like the hulk... days without incident ( 1 ) and counting.

days without incident ( 1 1/2 ) and counting
I stayed up way too late last night, and then finally took something to help me sleep. I woke up late and really drowsy but I finally made up for some lost sleep during the week.
I've finally gotten out of my comfortable spot. One of the reasons I've been not as motivated diet wise is because I've been more comfortable with my weight. Yes I don't feel so huge anymore, but I was looking at some photos and I'm not at the weight I want to be. My body isn't quite there yet. I'm okay with that, in fact it's a good thing because this weight loss journey is far from over.
I haven't mentioned this before very much, but getting more male attention is kind of disconcerting. At first I thought it would be fun for men to notice me, and now I realize it's not such a good thing. Midge mentioned something about wanting to be fat to hide in her diary awhile back and I'm really feeling that right now. I'm concerned. I'm in yellow alert stage right now, mild concern. My biggest fear is that it might escalate...

I thought I'd do a calorie update to this point because it is the planned end of the day for me, I need to go to sleep much earlier tonight.
coffee 100
cereal and milk 300
banana&peanut butter 230
tomato soup 300
coffee 100
yogurt 100
salad 300
total 1430
I really think the first three days after coming off a binge are the hardest, I'm almost done with day two so that's good, but the bad news is that I think day three is the hardest, if you refer to a couple posts back I'm good for two days then binge and repeat. So maybe a little extra awareness will help me. Day three, be extra careful avoid binge at all costs!

days without incident ( 2 3/4 ) and counting
So I'm still avoiding the binge, I had a moment earlier, but it wasn't too bad and passed quickly. I'm doing very well tonight. I went higher than I wanted to calorie wise, but I'm okay with that because at least I didn't binge.
omelet 375
coffee 100
homemade nachos (very small portion) 250
yogurt with oatmeal 210
couple bites waffles 250
coffee 100
salad 300
coffee 100
total 1685
So third day goes well. Hopefully tomorrow does too. Calories will hopefully go as follows 1400 and 1600 every other day. That gives me a 500 or 700 calorie deficit depending on the day.

I realized today that I still feel really fat and I really do want to lose more weight.
I forgot to start my juice/soup fast today so I'll just skip this week and do next week.
cereal 300
blueberries 43
coffee 100
steak 300
asparagus 15
coffee 100
858 in so far that leaves 542 for dinner and a snack for a total of 1400 for the day.
Sounds good to me!

| I am hoping that you keep adding to your "days without incidents" count. I too seem to go two or three days and then binge, then back into the cycle. It's like I have only so much resolve. The day after a binge is OK because I feel guilty, the day after that is kind of my first good day, then right back into it. I always feel better counting the good days. Once I did nearly 3 weeks of positive, healthy eating! Oh, to get back to those days~ But the thing is, as long as we keep trying, we will get there.

This is turning into the fight against binge journal instead of weightloss...
So for the total calories today:
cherries 40
strawberries 25
coffee 100

So the 500 didn't go quite so well, but not so bad either. No binge, and right now that's what counts to me!
calories...
593 homemade nachos (this was a little much, but a nice treat, something to keep me happy so that I don't binge :)
100 coffee
Total cals for the day 1761
Much higher than intended, but still okay. Tomorrow I'll shoot for 1300 to try and compensate a little for the indulgence :)
mj- lets motivate eachother! I'm so tired of this binge cycle and the bloat that follows!

| OK, let's do it! The bloat is definitely an issue. I mean, I know I didn't eat enough calories to gain 3-4 lbs like the scale says, but when I eat all that #%@&! and get all bloated and mess with my digestive system... arghhhhh! Anyway, glad you made it through another day. I personally would much rather work on balancing a few extra calories in a day than undoing one of my binges!!!

I can almost comfortably wear my new scrubs, they are just a little snug. I wore them once but they were snug enough that I felt uncomfortable. I think at 185 they'll fit perfect! I'm almost there, doing really good on the binge front.
I think one of the reasons I was bingeing so often was because I was eating too little.
calories today
cereal 300
coffee 100
soup 350
cottage cheese 100
coffee 100
bluberries 43
strawberries 25
salad 300
yogurt 100
total 1418
I wanted to go lower today, but I realized that put me at risk for a binge, so I'll deal with a couple extra calories instead of a binge.

I'm through 3 days and starting day 4. We can totally do this! I think the idea of a few extra calories is better than a binge. If I eat an extra 100-200 in a day, it would take me like 10 days to match a binge...

I don't know why but yesterday was an unhappy day for me. I've been really emotional and introverted lately. Not sure why...
I'm reading twilight and that's helping occupying my free time, I'm too entertained to eat. It's a cute little book. I'm almost through though, and I've only had it for two days. I'm in the middle of watching a movie but it's been paused most of the day.
I slept in this morning for a very long time. I felt like I could just keep sleeping forever. I'm not sure about this but I have a theory that when I don't have to wake up early I sleep in to make up for all the missed hours of sleep during my work week. Because honestly I usually only get about 5 hours a night.
I weigh 193 as of yesterday.

Okay so last night was a little higher than usual, my cals for the day were about 1650 but the day before they were just a little over 1300.
Today I'm wearing a floor length skirt to a formal dinner. I'm very very nervous! Wish me luck!

My night went very well, and for once I didn't feel like the fattest girl in the room. Although I was very self conscious.
I was dressed very nicely, better than most, and it felt good. Unfortunantly most of the young wives didn't show up. But that's probably better, because my night might not have gone so well.
My calories were high for the day estimated between 1600-1800. It wouldn't have been so bad except I had a few too many tortilla chips tonight with 7 layer dip. Not a binge perhaps, but a little over the top.

So lets update since I haven't visited in a few days.
The 25th was almost an incident and my calories were almost 2500 but I didn't completly lose control. I'm not sure if I should count this?
The 26th was about 1200 calories, intentionally low because of my high day.
Tonight I'm nauseaus. I'm at about 800 calories and I'm not hungry. I haven't felt well all day. I'm really depressed. Stuff is not right in my little world right now. I really can't let myself get like this!
So I'm not sure if this is day ( 11 ) and counting or day ( 2 ) but it doesn't really matter, as long as I'm good (mostly )

I haven't eaten a whole lot today, my calorie count is only 850 so far (and that is actually guestimating on the high side)
I weigh 191!!!
woo hoo
anyway, I'm waiting for my friend to get off work so I can go hang out at her house.

my calories only came to 1150 for yesterday. And it wasn't on purpose, I just wasn't hungry. I woke up kind of hungry today though, and I vaguely remember a dream about taco bell. Which is really weird because I haven't had taco bell in longer than I can remember, but somebody did mention it at work yesterday and I wonder if that triggered it.
I'm so cold, I think it's from eating too little last night.

Hi Once, I've only just caught up but your struggle with the Binge is really relevant to me right now, and your recent string of success is motivating to me. Just wanted to let you know.  I am making today my Day 1.

Last night I went out with some friends. I'd just like to say that going out and looking good are fun things to do, but I am never going out again. I just had the worst night. And someone smashed into the side of my car.
Calorie count for yesterday was 1680.

| I see that you are back on track! I wish I could say the same for myself. I was keeping up with you on the binge-free mission for a while, then I went on a bender...so back on the wagon for me and I will try to keep it clean~ I see you are losing again, and it sounds like you really have your focus. That's awesome, I hope it rubs off on me! Sorry to hear about your car, that is really a bummer. Was it hit and run or did the person give you insurance info, etc?

Mj!!! long time no see, I was missing you! It was hit and run, I noticed it when I got home, no one had left a note or anything.
Weight today 190, for some reason I'm disappointed though, I guess I was hoping for more, but what am I complaining about? A pound is a pound!
My stomache still hurts. I still feel like I'm sick. Everyone at work is convinced it's to do with my thyroid. Whatever it is, I hope it ends soon because I don't know how much more I can take!

Once, I don't know what happened but I wasn't getting those little e-mails that tell me there's activity on a diary... so I was like hey, where the heck is once... and then when I checked I saw that I was the one who was absent, not you!
190 is awesome, so close to the 180's you will definitely see them next week! That is an awesome accomplishment! Sorry about your car, it really sucks. I don't know how people can do that, I would feel sooooooo guilty!
