So and so went ...Oh yeah, I hear it all the time... So and so went fill in the blank Zero Fat, vegan, WW and lost weight. Yay for them, I've tried all that and was a zit faced, obese middle aged food addict. Ughhhhhh.<br /><br />Glad you dropped snacking. The time restricted eating window is probably as important as my LCHF abstaining plan at this point. Once you stop binge eating , then recognizing a lapse is pretty easy- dealing with urges, not so much. But practice keeps even lapses very low risk for me. Not very often, and I get stopped. A good reminder the food addiction lives, but yet my fat wants to come back.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by Ali.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06454945489632370863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-10501402226814757782018-03-18T13:02:15.804-07:002018-03-18T13:02:15.804-07:00I think it's great that you are honest with yo...I think it's great that you are honest with yourself about your trigger/problematic foods. So many people are not. My last "binge" (mine was a real binge) was about eight weeks ago. And it was on crappy Wendy's fries and a fish sandwich.<br /><br />I've lost a few since I tightened my eating window and stopped snacking. But my health is still a big challenge, and I see the doctor on Wenesday. I'm prepared for bad news. That way I won't binge afterward.<br /><br />I was talking to one of my best friends who looks amazing at 43 and lifts heavy. He claims I'm obsessive about food and doesn't understand why I just don't do moderation. His sister lost a lot on a commmercial program, and she still looks a bit fluffy to me. Our culture is so used to overweight people that normal/fit people often look too thin to others. I'm hardly thin--more normal--and he doesn't understand my reliance on the scale, on my clothes, and on eating whole unprocessed foods. But I don't answer to hike I answer to myself. Onward, as you would say!Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17817568743485129053noreply@blogger.com
