Man! The cravings are about to get to me right now!
I know this wasn't the best meal choice, but about an hour and a half ago I had a Big Mac Combo...with a Diet Coke. I didn't super-size -- but it was still a bad choice, I know.
As soon as I finished...I was and still am craving so binge...I don't know why. I have really cut back on my Diet Coke consumption...maybe one a week now...so I don't know if it was the diet coke or just the fast food...but right now I just want to eat and eat...I mean, it's like an gnawing craving...that's about to drive me nuts!
This is the first time since starting No-S that I've experienced it. I may go fix some coffee and sip on that awhile. Tomorrow is an S-day...I can make it until then! : )

Hold out! You can do it!
I wouldn't be suprised if something about that meal makes you want to binge. It's possible that its not even something in the food (eventhough that wouldn't suprise me and I bet McDs knows about it) it could just be that your mind associates a big mac meal with eating alot and its "urging' you to continue that habit.
Try any distraction you can think of, I'm cheering for you. S day is only 7 hours away!

Actually, by not giving in to the urge to eat, which is chemically induced, it will decrease the stimulus-response reaction and the food will have that effect less and less each time you have it. Not that I'm recommending that. Overeating reinforces the connection; moderate eating extinguishes it. Undereating also reinforces it! That's how slim people eat that stuff and don't gorge. That's how N days build up a lack of desire to eat compulsively. It creates a new stimulus-response: hunger followed by moderate eating.
