Last night, after a week of eating carbs, I went to the store at 10pm thinking I need chocolate. I was so stuffed at the store nothing appealed but the carbs pulling me down so I bought a mac n' cheese pizza combo and ate it, even though I was completely full.

Today still had a lot of carbs, the 10 pm craving hits - I'm eating corn beef. There's hope for me yet!

Instead of laying in bed worrying all day. I've gotten up and make lists of things to do. Doing is good for depression and worry.

Bounced back up 😔 Had a busy day yesterday. Barely enough water. Today I'll bet pushing it down.

Nawchem, there is some research that states that when we binge it is our body trying to find "real nutrition". So it may not be as simple as, refined carbs eaten, insulin up, then when the insulin falls below the start point, we think we are hungry, even when we are full.

Tied with you girl.....can you say bacon !

LOL I want bacon!!! I thought about making some and thought, Nope that won't help with water retention and I really don't want to go back up over 200. So I'll be having fried pork chop again. Love me some chops 😁 and a salad. May sprinkle some bacon bits on it LOL

Hang in there, nawchem Push more water. Carbs retain water so the more you drink, the more you will release. You can do it!

I stayed the same....that's seems to be my specialty. I sit on the weight for days (or weeks) and finally get to a different number....and then repeat! But I'm in it for the long haul .

Haven't ever tried Bulletproof coffee and as much as Smullen and ScotiaGirl love it, I am not going there.... I don't have a gallbladder so too much fat is not good for me. But I will keep eating bacon!

I stayed the same. Interesting Scotia, when I'm LCing I go pretty hungry because I have minimal kitchen share. That leads to me eating everything in sight every week.

Momma Bear thanks for the encouragement.

Up a few more ounces. Was really hungry yesterday evening and started craving to have ground beef with taco seasoning, lots of Mexican cheese and sour cream. After obsessively thinking about it I wanted it more LOL so I had some. I knew I might go up cause of the salt and cheese but I put in my mind to prepare for it and it was a better choice than I have in the past. So it is what it is. It'll come back off.

Hey Susan, I hear you, might have been your body wanting a bit more protein and you mentioned to me you had a lot of water yesterday so your body was going to be looking for salt for sure. Planning is key. I too have a few things I "go to now" which are within keto, pecans and smoked Gouda, doesn't take a lot to "sooth the beast".LOL That and a decaf with cream and I can get to sleep when it eludes me. In fact that is what I ended up doing last night. For me it has to do with not eating enough during the day and my body demanding more fat and protein.

Augie!!!!
Look at you go girl!!!
Me, the same, exactly the same weight. So close to those 160's, this week....I am willing to wait but I would love to see them soon.
