[fast5] Re: Binge Eating HELP!

Ah thank you, that really sounds like a good plan. I happen to have a neighborhood gym nearby as well. Thank you.

Even if you know that it's not true and you'll only feel sick for eating too much... It's happened to me quite a bit but now it seems to have stopped.

I go workout, even if it's a light workout for 1/2 hour by the time I change, I use the gym, I shower and dress, etc. at least an hour is gone. Then I have to make my way home so that's another 45 minutes. All of this is in the eating window and it's all time where I'm not eating. Then, once I get home, I have a proper meal and eat anything I want. I think that any activity that stops you from eating during the 5 hour window (once you had something to break fast of course) could work, such as going for a walk or to see a movie (without buying snacks).

You might see that even if you think that you binged, the actual calories that you ate are still a bit below the amount that you'd need to maintain weight, and if they aren't - they would be by removing just a little from what you are eating. In any case it can provide you with an objective indication of whether you are bingeing or not; on fast-5 it seems easier to feel full for some reason.

Please, I really need encouragements...and if anyone doesn't mind, please do tell if anyone else is going through a dilemma like this too =(
