I have been really bingeing from 8 to midnight...I typically don't eat during the day...I haven't for years...but before I would eat a normal meal for dinner and that was it...now I am shoveling in the food like there is no tomorrow. I have gained 7 pounds in the last month. I did start a new med and also am trying to quit smoking. so what I am trying to do is be conscious of my calorie intake. I am still eating like crazy but I have bought low calorie snacks and food and plan out my eating for the night to not go over 1200 calories. so far I have lost 3 pounds this week so it is working. instead of mindlessly eating half a can of pringles, I count out a serving of chips which is only 150 calories and eat them very slowly and savor them, really taste them. this has been more satisfying than when I was wolfing them down. I have really worked to be mindful of eating the snacks, paying attention when I eat, enjoying the flavor, and it has allowed me to go longer between eating and eating less at each serving so instead of eating two polish sausage really quick, I now take my time taking small bites and savoring one.
