Background: 6’3”, 350 pound man; down 30 pounds in a few months with CICO. Long way to go but the progress is exciting.
A few days ago, I took time away from work and went to a favorite relaxation spot. Getting away from home and my routine convinced me to “take a break,” and I returned to my old ways of indulging in binge eating. I can put away 2500+ calories in one sitting from Wendy’s or Burger King, and I did.
And you know what? It felt gross. I was physically uncomfortable. I actually felt satisfied with the meal after an appropriate amount of food (maybe a little too many calories given it was a bacon cheeseburger, but nothing totally destructive). I still finished the binge but I immediately regretted it.
At first, I was really upset with myself for allowing me to do that. But I think it actually can be used for good now - because I actually didn’t like it. And to get to 380 pounds like I had been, I was binging like that on a regular basis. But I really, truly, honestly think that I have the ability to say no when I get this kind of temptation again because this experience wasn’t actually enjoyable!
Anyone else been in a situation like this? Something were old habits popped up after some time in your healthier lifestyle, so you learned that you actually didn’t enjoy living that way any more?
