my day started normally, tracking calories, weighed in the morning - my weight has been stuck on the same number for around 4/5 days. i know that’s normal, but it was still bumming me out.
i ate within my calories all day, my tdee is around 1550- i tend to aim around 1200/1300 (some days i eat a lot less, i eat until i am full).
i think that bummed out feeling got the best of me tonight. i’d had my dinner, and decided to end the night with a cereal bar and yogurt. but i was hungry. i wanted something indulgent. i ate 6 of my favourite sweets (percy pigs - if you’re from the uk, you will know the wonder that is a percy pig). i was within my calories still. but i didn’t stop. i made a sandwich. i ate 5 more sweets.
i decided that i gave up for the night, i had 20 sweets left - i was going to eat them and if that didn’t satiate me i would eat anything else i wanted.
i had the 20 sweets next to me. i ate 7 more. i realised i was full. that i didn’t want anymore. usually when i’m in a binging mindset, i don’t care if i am full i will eat, and eat, and eat.
tonight i didnt. i took those 13 sweets out of my calorie count (as i had full intentions of polishing them all off), and i put the candy away.
i still feel guilt for giving into the binge, it’s been well over a month since i binged last. but i stopped, i noticed the feeling of fullness - and stopped.
my count for the day ended up being around 1900. it’s not a number i like, but i’m trying to learn to be okay with it. tomorrow is a new day, and i will continue to eat as i have been prior to today. i think i’m proud of myself, but guilt is a hard emotion to let go off.
