After a particularly bad few months of relapse, I'm finally back in control. I decided to take the step of giving up chocolate and fast food altogether, as they were my main binge-eating foods. Everything I had read about binge eating had said not to give up any particular food, as this can trigger binging. I tried to have controlled amounts of these foods and sometimes I would be OK, and other times it would make things worse. Almost as soon as I made the decision, it was like a switch had been flicked. I didn't get any cravings or urges and I've not been off plan since I made that decision two weeks ago. I've lost 11.5lbs of the weight that I gained back and hopefully I'll reach my target weight sometime around the middle of August. I'm going on holiday at the beginning of September so I really want to be at my target weight then.
I'm a bit apprehensive of what I'll be able to eat when I'm on holiday. There's no way I'll be able to stick to SW 100% but I'll have to do the best that I can, and choose the best options I have available. Rather than have a full fried breakfast (which you can do on SW, with some tweaks), I can have fruit and fat free yogurt. Plus we're going to Jamie Oliver's Fifteen for my birthday which, as far as I'm aware, is a set menu. I'll just have to make sure I have plenty of exercise (as there's a swimming pool and a beach this shouldn't be too difficult).
Hopefully I'm back on track now, only time will tell.
