hubby and I are going on a 5:30 walk tomorow, and then at night going to climb the rock near the house and watch the sun set.
I love how our romance involves exercise HA HA HA HA.

ha ha you onto the smoothie too lol, yum yum!!!
i love prawns, and they are so low in fat and cals, awesome food. I wrap some in foil, with some spices, and then stick in oven, frypan, or bbq. mix up some cous cous, the flavored box, and for 400cals, you get a MASSIVE meal.
I have never had prawn pizza.... hmmm, but now you got MY mouth watering HA HA HA.
I had some binges lately, but I am not feeling guilty. I am telling myself, its life, and i am living life. enjoying life, and not going to stop eating what i want. I confirm with myself I have lost weight, and I am loosing weight, and I can enjoy these foods if I want. my weakness lately, oreos.... and as always the marshmallows. 1/2 to 3/4 a packet in ONE hot choccie LOL

A peach
70g sultanas
6 chocolate buttons
vienna almonds (almonds covered in toffee, not sure how many but alot!)
2 scoops fatblaster chocolate shake powder and skim milk
forme yoghurt
Be natural bar
apple fruit bar
Now I'm suffering from some horrible angst after this.
My eating was fine today. For breakfast I had two pieces of soy and linseed toast with cheese and peanut butter, also some sultanas and black coffee. For lunch I had another two pieces of cheese, can of chicken soup and a large apple. And now I ended up with this horrible binge. I feel far from finished! I wish I was a bottomless pit, with unlimited stomach holding power, so I could just eat and eat and eat and eat and not feel vaguely full! I wish I could eat and eat and eat and eat and that the calories didn't count.
This sucks!

I really think you need to give the gabriel method a read - it deals with the underlying issues of why you binge/emotional eat and have a nifty little hypno cd that you listen to as you doze off at night! You can eat whatever you want on the program (after a while you literally crave only good food!!) it is just a matter of eating the "better" things first... check out your local library you wont be upset you did![]()
I have come from 92kgs. Now I am sitting on 69kgs at the moment but I am comfortable at 66kgs so I am just eating good food, getting a little walking in, lots of water.... and living my life! not obsessing over it anymore .. best of luck to you xxx

I think you biggest hurdle steph, would not be eating the foods that are bumping the calories over you limit, but coming to peace with the guilt you feel afterwards, as the guilt is holding you back.
if you feel ok with the food you ate, and feel if it was a bad day, that you can just move forward, then i think the binges will become less and less often and less big.
the other weekend I had a binge which i mentally though whoa that was soooo big, and dh is like what, no way, that was tiny. I used to have the bottemless bit stomach, which somehow doesnt exist anymore. I cant even eat a whole pack of timtams, and even the lolly snakes yesterday, was only half the pack, so about 8 snakes. and 2 mini milkyways. and i felt whoa, sugar overload.
do you drink green tea at all? I find it helps alot to balance sugar levels and make me crave less, and when i do eat it, i cant eat as much as I used to.
hang in there, its a tough time for you, and I do believe we go thru high and low motivation periods as well. but if we just ride the ride during the low periods instead of giving up, then we end up maintaining, rather than gaining everything back.
