6 weeks in - bingeing disaster!

[Crumblevision]

Had a good start to SW 6 weeks ago, lost 5lbs in the first week. However, I'm struggling now. I seem to be on a path of self sabotage. I have not been on plan at all for about 2 weeks now. I am so cross with myself. I have eaten syns GALORE and I just don't want to stop. In principle, I agree with the plan. I think it's safe, nutrituous and healthy - and ultimately doable. So why the hell am I doing this to myself? I have literally eaten every few hours for days (off plan food). Has anyone else experienced this?

I do this, and have no idea how to stop :( So I will follow your thread and hope someone more useful comes along!

Realising what it is, is the first step to getting back on track

Understanding WHY you do it is the next step

I've recently done a 12 week programme through the NHS on healthy eating and it gave a great insight into why we do it here

Once you understand why you do it, you'll stop stepping off the plan

I'm on attempt 2 this year. I lost a stone, then binged. Now I'm trying again

Thanks Imnot, I will have a look at that link.

Bumping for the late crowd - any more?

I would suggest writing everything down. Regardless of everything you eat. Work out the Syns.

I would also record how it makes you feel.

This is in the short term.

Long term you need to get to the bottom of why.

I stopped myself binging by really think about wether I wanted something and if it was going to get me closer to my goal.
