Have you ever had this experience?

Yes.... at least 3 times now. I lose somewhere between 50-80 pounds in about 3-8 months, and then I go on a carb binge that doesn't stop until I've regained all the weight, plus 30.

Have you ever successfully overcome it to move on toward your goal?

Not yet... I'm still working on it. I am trying to do a U-Turn and change that carb-bender into a side trip instead of a destination.

What insights did you gain?

That I can make a decision in the blink of an eye to cheat. I can be in the right frame of mind, losing steadily, and then SMACK, I'm eating cookies.


Do you have suggestions to share with others? Not yet... I'm still in need of insight to my own emotions to understand why I have such an attachment to being 300 pounds!
