I've been very very slack with my diary, mainly because I've had a bad couple of weeks and haven't felt inclined to really work it through here.
Still, I'm back.
I've been on and off and on and off for three weeks now. Ill either manage 100% days or flipping awful days. Started Monday this week on a 100% day and gave up by lunchtime yesterday.
However, I woke up this morning feeling absolutely dreadful with what felt like a massive hangover. Googled 'carb hangover' and it appears my cambridge days followed by carb binges are hugely destructive and bad for my body. Apparently the body is triggered by excessive carb intake to produce a load of excess insulin to process the sugar which is followed by a horrible slump which results in an uncontrollable urge to keep binging.
I am a horrendous binge eater, which I've always blamed on my emotions, but it appears I'm faced with both physical and emotional urges I find hard to manage.
Obviously that's why I don't ever crave a binge when I'm 100% into plan. So I'm making a huge conscious effort from today to give myself the opportunity to get back on track.
My wedding will obviously not be carb free, but after that I'm going to come back and go onto cambridge again to allow myself some headspace to work out how I'm going to manage my binges in future, because I really don't want to be stuck in a cycle of cambridge one day, followed by a binge, followed by cambridge, as I'm making my life really hard.
I'm seeing today as a good day.
