Well, it's not really day one. About two months ago was when i made the choice to say goodbye to binge eating and took a leap of faith. I knew i was binge eating because i wasn't eating enough on a regular basis, but taking that step of eating more when all i wanted to do was diet - was the hardest thing i have ever done.
Two months in, and a collegue says: "hey, have you lost weight?"
Sure enough when i got home i weighed myself and i had lost 5 kilograms! The ravenous uncontrollable hunger was gone, and i was feeling good. I had achieved this all by eating what i wanted, when i wanted it, and stopping when i was full.
AFter that 5 kilograms - i was keen for more, so i lost another 5 kilograms by starting another diet again. But because i had had that break before, the ravenous hunger didn't set in - at least not until recently.
So about 2 weeks ago, i took the second most difficult step of my life - i stopped dieting again, and started eating what i want again. At first it was hard, and i found i was still restricting - but recently i've been eating things i would have called "unhealthy": roast lamb, grilled bacon and poached eggs, toast with honey - etc etc etc - all things that i ignored when on a diet because i was afraid my weight would balloon.
It's been two weeks, and I'm still on 70 kilograms! The hunger is almost gone, but i still think i need more time on weight maintenance before i tackle weight loss again. I'm not ready to lose weight again just yet! Well, mentally i am - but physically i know my body needs time. And i'm strong in this resolve because i know that by doing this, i'm reducing the chance of ever going over 70 kilograms again!
Well, wish me luck, and wish me strength!
As always - if you have an questions about how to achieve this, feel free to comment or send me an email. I'm passionately devoted to helping anyone achieve a healthy relationship with food again, and avoid those starvation/binge periods that are destroying your body.
Love Nikki
