I binged today :( It was terrible.. my roomie ordered dominoes... I ATE so much.. a total of 2300 calories today. Horrible. Thankfully I only ate 300/340 Monday and Tuesday and 900 on Wed. (my boyfriend and I were celebrating his finishing writing a grant that was driving him nuts and had sushi...) I WILL ONLY EAT 300-450 calories until next wed. Then I can have 700 when I next see my bf. I should still lose atleast 1.5 lbs this week.. but UGH this sucks. Stupid stupid stupid. I knew I'd feel this way afterwards... WHY do I DO this.. So gross. :(
On the upside I seem to be getting myself together mentally to get back to working on life.. I've just been floating around in helpless limbo for the past few weeks. Back to work.. and MAJOR RESTRICTING...
Oh btw.. a side note.. I know smokers have smaller appetites.. and nicotine increases the metabolism. I would NEVER start smoking to lose weight.. the health detriments are NOT worth it.. but possibly taking small doses of nicotine after meals in the form of lozenges.. that may have some weight loss benefits? I wonder.. But then I've heard smokers gain weight once they stop smoking (personally I think this is because of their oral fixation, and needing to replace their former addiction with a distraction.. not because their metabolism slows back down alone. If they ate exactly the same amount, or less than they did while they smoked they probably would not gain.. I wonder if I should try.. or ask my doctor about this?)
i wouldn't suggest it, i mean i don't know much about the lozenges, but i smoke so that only works in the beginning. i still binge even if i try to smoke a cigarette to get my mind off it. but yeah the weight gain is def a oral fixation thing or people replace their stress relief with food, so it's a matter of personal discipline. and smokers tend to have more body fat. i should really quit but i know i don't really want to.
