I've come to report that a binge has just occurred :cry:
My calories are up to 1800 for today; my approximate daily limit is 1200. It wasn't a mega binge really (I put on 21lb in two weeks once; THAT was a mega binge) but I'm now feeling all those negative emotions that always follow on from that temporary loss of control: guilt, hopelessness, futility..
I've been completely in control for the last few weeks. When the tea/snack/lunch trolley comes round at work I haven't been tempted at all by the crisps/chocolate/sandwiches, but during the day today I've really had to resist, and it came to a head this evening what is it that turns a controlled, level-headed person into some animal frantically digging through the fridge and cupboards like it hasn't eaten for weeks?! There must be some physiological explanation.. tiredness? Hormones? Brain chemicals?
I really hope tonight is a one-off and doesn't carry on tomorrow
