I had to break the grip of 1000 or less a day. I was losing too much besides fat. I am the pot calling the kettle black, though. I lost almost 40 pounds before I started upping my calories.

I was also obsessed. For me, it is part fear; I am afraid I will binge again if I let myself eat more than light meals. I got the bing urge tonight. One of my kids had a holiday potluck and his friends brought lots of treats. We provided the meat and after the kids ate, my wife and I made plates. They brought way too much food and there were some good desserts. I didn't go overboard, but there were a couple of things that triggered the urge. Creme de menthe chocolate fudge and hot chocolate cup cakes. I had some of each, but I logged it using what I think are reasonably close entries. The urge was strong to grab another cupcake and several more pieces of fudge. I thought maybe I had beaten that for now.
