Well.... I've had a few hours to think things over.
I'm not going to deviate from this plan.
I managed to go two weeks on it until this Monday, and I felt good.
None of my other 'plans' make as much sense, to be honest. I'll get back on track ASAP. And I'll use this as a learning experience.
I'm going to try to put more time and effort into my meals. I think (actually, I know
![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
) my meals have been too carb based. I guess that part of this is because of the novelty of being 'allowed' to eat carby meals again after months of No S since last summer.
I love eggs (omelettes in particular) and I'll use the time I have on my hands on my off days, to whip up smore solid meals.
It can't hurt to try. In the past (even before I knew of No S, but was struggling with bingeing) I decided to try eating three meals a day, each one containing two or three eggs, and I found my hunger levels reduced greatly. It was when I started to snack and add sweets things, that I lost control again.
I wont be so drastic with the number of eggs, but I'll tweak things slightly, bearing this in my mind.
Worst case scenario - It doesn't work... So nothing much to lose.
It all comes down to this - I've suffered from binge eating for so long, that I shouldn't expect a miracle. I shouldn't expect it to be a bump-free ride. I'm going to have more urges, and more testing times.
But for every green day I have - I've done my body good.
I went 10-12 weeks without a red day before (even with binge-like S Days) so I know I can do it.
This is the kick up the bum I need to start feeding myself 'better' food.
Food that makes my body feel better.
I may not look overweight, I may even look slim. But that isn't all that matters. Eating fewer white carbs (bread and fries seem to crop up alot on my dairy) will still benefit me. Even if just for one meal a day, for now.
So maybe I've learnt something from this red day, after all.
Usually, I'd try to 'fast' the day after a 'binge' - for mental satisfaction. Emphasis on the word 'try'. It's more likely that I binge again, than I fast successfully. And that isn't what I need. A green day tomorrow is good enough to get back on track.
I shall report back here tomorrow night.
