Formerly Food Addicted #7 - Arrrrggggghhhhh!


Arrrggghhhh! Well it is Weigh in Wednesday and I am so frustrated. I’m not at all surprised by the scale, but still frustrated. That’s the thing about binge eating. You can have an awesome week with no binging, and the weight starts to fall off. But, if it is followed by a binge week, your progress is erased in an instant. That is what happened in the past week.

Below you will find a food log from a few days - have I ever told you how much I despise food logs? But they provide useful information. I had a couple good days, followed by several binge days. I define good days as days that I stayed away from refined sugar and flour. The "good" days are by no means perfect. I also did the painful work of writing down what was eaten during binges - at least most of it.

Day 1 
Breakfast - chicken andouille sausage; protein shake (protein powder mixed with water)
Lunch - "steakhouse buffalo burger" (whole foods); broccoli with mixed peppers
Dinner - 6 meatballs in marinara sauce

Day 2
Breakfast - Chicken andouille sausage, 2 eggs with feta cheese crumbles cooked in coconut oil
Lunch - Meatballs in marinara; broccoli with peppers; large fries
Dinner - 3 slices of bacon and 3 strawberries - not hungry, but didn't want to go to gym on empty stomach
Post work out snack - 2 slices bacon

Day 3 (got up at 1a.m. to drive to 2 1/2 hours to be with my mom who became ill; I consider this a day of stress eating and overeating,  but it wasn't a full blown binge.)
4 miniature 3 musteers
4 cream filled cookies
Sausage egg and cheese muffin from burger king
Krispy Kreme apple pie (individual size)
Box of Nerds candy  (Large 6 oz box)
Turkey and cheese sandwich
2 cheese coneys (6 in each) and chili cheese fries
3 more cream filled cookies
Pineapples

Day 4
Breakfast - 3 slices bacon
Snack- 1/2 chicken  breast
Lunch - 4 large strawberries ; walnuts & almonds (100 calorie pack)
Dinner - Calamari salad

Day 5 (Binge day)
Breakfast - 4 slices of bacon
Lunch- 10 nuggets and fries from McDonald's, snickers ice cream bar
Binge: large cold stone ice cream with cookie dough, individual apple pie, box of jolly rancher chews, two small pizzas from Donatos, bag of chips, 4 ocean spray cranberry juices,  fries

Day 6 (Binge Day)
Didn’t record breakfast or lunch Day ended with a binge
2 large donuts; 8 donut holes, 2 cookies, frozen breakfast sandwich, piada sandwich,  3 orders of loaded fries from White castle

Day 7 (Binge Day)
Breakfast/lunch - 6 Jimmy Dean breakfast croissant sandwiches, 2 bananas
Dinner/Binge: 2 orders loaded fries, 2 sliders, oreo ice cream sandwich, "texas smoked sausage" sandwich, cheese roll up (Taco Bell)


It is what it is…I am where I am. It’s a little daunting to think how long it will take to undo this damage, so I am just going to take it one day at a time. Every Wednesday, feel free to check out my Weigh In Wednesday tab. Hopefully I will have some better news to report next week.
