how to prevent binges / overeating 🤍
(reminder : these are things that work for me!!! some may not be suited for you :> )
1) i thought high restriction (1200-1300) would help prevent binges. it did not!
i was just maintaining / gaining because i never felt i was getting anywhere with my weight.
i may have been losing, but the impact of water weight fluctuations are harder to see when you’re not losing as much everyday, so i could never really tell.
i need to go ‘all in’ when it comes to restriction, so 0-800cals otherwise the day doesn’t feel ‘worth it’ and i’ll overeat, or have a maintenance day
and then you get into the cycle of having maintenance days EVERY day
(if high restriction is working for you please keep at it though, this is just subjective for me)
2) ‘i’ll exercise it off tomorrow’
ok, so some people can and will exercise off the excess calories! but it’s a LOT more effort that restricting for me.
i used to pace a lot to burn calories, but realistically 180ish cals for a 2 hour walk isn’t worth it for me.
plus it’s also very easy to start overeating everyday, saying you’ll exercise it off, and never actually burning the cals.
also i found the weight drops off quicker when i’m just restricting properly, which motivates me more.
(however if you manage to, srsly well done gosh, and ignore this)
3) SAVE UR CALS for later
i tend to get real hungry / my willpower fades at nighttime
so i save my calories for dinner and have it as late as possible
i find it easier to basically fast throughout the day (maybe have a few apricots / dates for blood sugar) and then have my meal later
PLUS having something carby before bed sends me to sleep, which helps with the anorexia insomnia
4) you’ll be sad either way BUT…
you’ll be miserable being hungry. you’ll be miserable after binging. but you won’t be miserable once you’ve lost the weight.
binging has only negatives whereas starving has the pro of being skinny.
