Managed to get through the day & it wasn't a struggle. Weighed in I'm now at 13 stone 11 & in really disgusted with that. I think it was the shock I needed. Forced myself to the gym as there are no classes & burned 400 cals. Also took the dog & the kids for a walk to the local park.

Hi, just read through your diary & wanted to wish you wel on your journey. I also struggle with binges, so I alot of sympathy for you esp as you've had such a hard time lately. I also admire how you never give up & always pick yourself up again despite all the setbacks.

Tuesday was on plan 15 syns used made a big veg quiche was yum. Yesterday went out with gran & kids for lunch at a chippy & then cake & coffee later although its all of plan I'm not dwelling on it I enjoyed it and if I've deprived myself I would ended binging later. I am looking to been back at work/school to get some routine.
I think a lot of the binges lately are boredom with the same food so at least once a week I'm going to try a new recipe. I quite fancy trying the Big Mac in a bowl this week.

Hi Kel. You are def doing the right thing by not dwelling on it. It's healthy to go out for a treat now & then, enjoy off plan food, & not feel guilty. This is something I really struggle with. Last night I went out & had a big meal including a dessert & a couple of fruity cocktails - all planned, yet still when I got home I shoved 1/3rd of a family sized choc bar down my throat! It was a struggle not to eat the whole thing! I have no idea why I did (& keep doing!) this. I didn't enjoy it as I was really full & felt guilty & ashamed as I was doing it, it's like some kind of compulsion. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one with this battle though. I don't think I will ever stop completely but I do feel that coming on here & reading about other peoples experiences helps give me a bit more strength!
Hope you have a good day. It's lovely & sunny here

I'm exactly the same cant just treat myself like any normal person if I do I then ended up raiding the cupboards to eat for the sake of eating.
When I started this diary I was all like I'm gonna beat this but I don't think I'll ever stop. I can
Be good for ages then bam I have waves of binging and not been able to stop & that's where I am at the minute
Right now I'm focusing on the binges been few and far between.
Do you follow sw?

Yes, I've just started with SW. I was doing 5:2, where you eat normally on 5 days &have 500kcal on the other 2. The problem for me was that my 'normal' often involved binges! So I thought if I followed SW on my eating days then it would give me some structure & I wouldn't think 'oh it's fine to eat rubbish / overeat 5 days a week as the diet says you don't need to restrict on these days'! So far it seems to be working better, but it's still early days.
How's your day going?

I have friends who do 5.2 with success but I've not tried it. I'd have the same problem. I control binges better as you can eat more.
I'm not up to much just pottering around getting ready for the kids back at school
How's your day xx

Ah, is it next week they go back? Can't believe how quickly the summer's gone!
My day was pretty dull as was just in the office & didn't go out in the eve so had an early night. On the positive, I kept to my fast day allowance of 500kcal although I was very close to finishing off the chocolate from Thurs & having some wine (hence the early night, lol).
Today will also be not too exciting as got no plans. But that's OK as I'm not at work
Might just go & sit outside for a bit as looks like it'll be another nice day today.X
