Call me crazy

Know what I did today?I knew I was at a point in my cycle where I would crave something and I'm trying hard to stay away from chocolate.Just an experiment I'm doing with my migraines but anyway.I thought about what would I really like to have to eat and decided on a donut.I planned for it and picked up a fresh one uptown today.Sat down with it and a cup of decaf and enjoyed it.I can't remember the last time I ate something like that without 1)eating everything else til I finally had what I wanted and thereby bingeing completely or 2)ate it and didn't beat myself up over it afterwards.So I'm thinking when did food become such a crazy issue and don't I have enough issues already?????When is a donut/chip/6 muffins/whatever just a donut and not a buffett of issues???

I did the same thing today. I'm in the same spot of my cycle as you...all day I've been singing, "I need chocolate, lots of chocolate, anything with chocolate will DO!" to the tune of "I'm so pretty". Remembered I had a scoop of Jamoca Almond Fudge in the freezer. I told myself I was going to take tiny bites and really enjoy it. I did. For the first 5 bites. After that, it was a free-for-all. But it was delicious and I'm not beating myself up about it. I NEEDED THAT ICE CREAM!
Tonight is lasagna. Yummmmmmm.
Sassy<-who is obviously crazier than you :)
I am pretty fortunate to be on bc pills that has cured my bingeing (I used to binge on carbs REALLY bad) and to never suffer guilt trips over food. Now, I have to admit to eating what I want TOO often - enough to gain holiday pounds!!! I need to deprogram that out of my system! The same ole' story every year - I've got to shed those holiday lbs. & I'm always afraid if I don't lose them before the next holiday season starts, I will just pack more on! Will I ever learn?
Good for you for keeping up with your awesome workouts, and for eating ONE donut and so thoroughly enjoying it, even hours later. That's what a treat is supposed to do for you.
I won't call you crazy at all, Patty!

For me, instead of fighting those cravings and going off the deepend, I simply account for them and have a measured small amount of what I really want. Then I continue on with my life.
