OUCH! I got what I deserved on the scale this morning. Yesterday was a day of indulgences - a whole bag of popcorn with about 3 Tbsp. of melted butter on it, 6 Pepperidge Farm Classic Collection cookies, cashews on my Cheesy Chicken Risotto, croutons (100 cal!) on my salad, a Tbsp. of butter on my Dave's Thin Killer 21 Grain & Seed Bread. There might have been other things, too, but those are the "extra" things, some of which I never recorded yesterday.
I was off to a pretty good start today. Didn't have anything from Breakfast at 6am until about 10am (a long stretch for me). After a big salad for lunch (with Ranch dressing), my husband brought out those Pepperidge Farm Cookies, and I joined him in having one serving (3 cookies for 130 calories). I shouldn't have done that.
Hopefully, I'll continue eating less frequently for the remainder of the day. Also praying scales will be back down tomorrow. Almost a two-pound gain in one day has got to be some water retention or unmoved bowel contents, right? It can't ALL be the popcorn and cookies, and butter and stuff, can it?
Cooked two small heads of cabbage yesterday (because they didn't have any big ones!). That makes a good go-to for something filling to eat for relatively few calories. It probably has MORE calories than I'm reporting though, even though I weigh it, because even though I select "with fat added in cooking," I doubt that they're figuring in a whole stick of butter, which is what I put in the "Buttered Cabbage."
I'm a little bit discouraged with myself. Though I'm doing better today than yesterday, I'm still not where I want to be and need to be in the areas of self-control and eating in moderation. I often still feel like I want to eat ALL day, and sometimes I give in to that. I've still got a chance to keep my calories down if I can really exercise some discernment in what I select for dinner tonight.
I cancelled my Physical Therapy for tomorrow, and I haven't been doing any of the knee exercise at home, because my knees have been hurting (and feeling "tight") as soon as I wake up in the morning. My goal with it was to be able to climb the stairs to go down the big slides with my grand daughter (10). I've only got 10 days until we leave, and my knees won't be there - so my goal now is just to keep them from hurting as much as possible so I don't inflame them BEFORE I go.
Ooops. Gotta go. Have a video psyche appointment coming up in a few minutes, followed by my phone call Bible Study discussion right after that.
OK, that's my life today. There's always tomorrow (but I'm not giving up on the rest of today!)

I find it to be this way after pulling away from extras for a period of time. This is the time when I think I can eat outside but all is does is take me back in the direction I came from. This is my struggle and what I have to keep watching and not give up. And what's with the popcorn. I see some say stay away from it. Yet it suppose to be a better choice. then we you add butter. some encourage it(butter that is ). what am I missing here? I love popcorn lol. it true. Hang on in there Debbie.

What I've been doing is having a delicious snack each day if I want but I plan for it and only eat what I've allotted for. Example--I had 4 cupcakes left last week. I planned on one each night. The second night I wanted to eat another one (or even all 3) that night. In the past I might justify it by saying 'go ahead, that way they are out of the house and you won't have to worry about them'. Instead I only ate the one and the others one at a time each evening per the plan. I ended up having a good week and even lost a little. It's hard to change my old way of thinking, but also very rewarding when I'm able to. Keep your trip front and center in your mind, it's a wonderful reward for all your hard work and you deserve to have a great time!

I know it's difficult! Hang in there!
I used to struggle with full-on binge eating disorder, and *almost* developed a worse eating disorder that I'm usually not so open about. Thankfully, the worse ED only lasted a few months so technically didn't even have it, because it wasn't long enough. Now, I don't even eat meat other than fish, and eat "hippie" food--not even just a healthy version of a standard American diet, but a step further with a focus on mostly plants!
If I can go that far in the other direction in just one year, you can make big changes, too. I do still eat more sugar than I should, though.

Edit: Not a year. 18 months. I got ahead of myself. Sorry!

You are very honest and clearly still are invested given your post. Keep going. There is only this moment in which to act. Let the past go. I know you want your knees to feel better, so you will get there bit by bit.

Fasting shuts down your appetite. Adjusting to eating again is tricky. For me carbs trigger binging. - and there's no such thing as a 'serving' of Pepperidge Farm, so I just don't let them in the house anymore.

I tell myself “Begin Again”!!! Each day is a new start a new beginning.

If you could full on fast for 50+ days you can devise a plan that will work for you, that you can live with for life. For me personally, having the goodies available and in the house with the knowledge that I can eat them guilt free as long as I track them first, all but eliminates my cravings for them. If I eliminate the goodies or make them off limits then I crave them until I full on binge!! I know I'm probably the exception to the rule, but I had to come up with a solution that both allowed me to get/stay healthy and hubs to have his goodies (which I buy and serve him)! You Can Do Anything You Set Your Mind To!!!

Maybe just cut down a little bit without making yourself feel deprived? A stick of butter adds 821 calories to your healthy cabbage, so maybe just use half of a stick? Still good but not so heavy on calories.
