No picture today! I have plenty to use but I couldn't quite make up my mind.
I had my appointment with my dietician today and, even though I've lost more weight, I left with three new goals. I'm hoping I can keep to them for the next two weeks until I see her again. I believe they are achievable. Well, I know two of them are.
They consist of:
1. Eat 2 times per day.
2. Use distraction techniques for at least 1 hour after eating.
3. Stop taking diet pills.
I know I can do numbers 1 and 2 as I have achieved them before. Eating twice a day isn't an issue. It doesn't matter how small the portion sizes are, just as long as I eat twice a day. The distraction techniques are designed so that I don't make myself vomit after eating a meal. After an hour the urge is significantly lower than it would've been just after eating but I have a lot of distractions I can use to achieve this. At the moment I'm limiting my vomiting only to when I've binged.
As to the diet pills? Well. They've become a problem. I'm taking more than recommended and can't seem to stop myself doing it. I'm hoping that I can at least cut down the amount I'm taking. Even if I don't stop, lowering the amount would be progress in regards to stopping them. I'm just worried about whether my body starts getting used to having diet pills to help it work in weight loss and then when I stop it'll start putting on weight because the diet pills have been taken away. I won't know until I get to that point.
You ever started eating normally and found your urge to binge gets a heck of a lot stronger and more frequent? That's my worry. I don't care if I start eating more during the day, it's the binges that bother me. It scares me so much that it forces me to cut down my caloric intake even more than normal so that my urge to binge isn't so strong. Ever been in that position? What did you do? Did you wait it out and put up with it until it normalised?
Much love.
