Yesterday was soooo bad i was stressing out big time about my exams which started today and.. i had the biggest binge ever..okay well not ever ive had worse before but it was huuuge- a family size bag dorritos, pringles, 3 packets chips, 15 chocolate biscuits, 4 bits of caramel shortcake, 2 jam donuts and probably other stuff ive forgotten. i had managed not to binge for over 3 weeks and then i was left in the house myself for an hour and i went completely crazy for the rest of the day =[. I weighed myself last night and it said 174 (3lbs OVER my starting weight) and considering i was 163 yday morning i gained 11lbs in ONE day!! i know some of that weight would be all the food that was in my stomach hadnt digested yet cos i was really bloated so im going to put myself back at my starting weight and i have vowed to NOT weigh myself for about 2 months because i get realy obsessed with the scales like weighing myself 10 times a day and if it doesnt change i get really anxious and end up bingeing (like yday). Anyways it was real tempting to not eat anything today to make up for yday but ive decided that nope im doing this properly which means 3 meals a day so heres today- EXERCISE 40 mins on eliptical (burned 1000cals) BFAST- porridge m/w 2% milk = 160 cals, LUNCH- brown turkey salad roll =350, dinner- bowl homemade soup + chicken, potatoes, carrots and broccoli = 1000? so in total 1600 cals max. Anyone else have problems with bingeing?
Reply from Lucee, Age 16 - 01/29/08 - IP#: 78.144.160.xxx yeah i do realise that its a theoretical calorie burn and not an actual one so not as much as 1000 but ive been doing it 7 times per week and eating on average 1600cals per day and ive been losing 2-3lbs per week so its all good. and thats on the highest resistance obv if i did it on a low resistance for 40 mins i wouldnt burn anywhere near that. its just like a target for me i get on and say im not getting off till it goes to 1000 and it helpes motivate me so i dont really mind if its a bit less.
Reply from Kristen, Age 16 - 01/28/08 - IP#: 76.88.226.xxx Dont mean to be a downer but forty minutes on the eliptical cannot burn 1000 calories. Dont look at the calories burned because often times its not correst. The only reason im telling ya this is because if your thinking your burning 1000 calories and your really only burning 400-500, thats a big gap. Keep up the good work though and dont worry about the binge, just move on and know that its a lifestlye change not a diet.
