Cheating and gaining weight. I need a routine to follow.

[SHALISA]

wow im really depressed today then! i started at 194.5 and was down to 184 even! noe its 17 days on to induction and here i weighed my self to day and was at 189! i dont get it i am frustrated i been fairly good. i guess maybe this isnt 4 me due to i am not one that has time to measure,counting i dont mind but all the portions and things i have to do! i was so happy he 1st week! then im told dont eat the bars.
so i stopped then i have to come clean on sumthing. in the past
i was bulimic.
my most weight ever was 236 at 15 etc. i lost most of it i was down to 160 150 for a few years and maintained that for quite a few years.
we fluctuate tho!!!
i really let myself go this last year and pushed 194.5 i was devastated!
this was my last resort!
so now 2 days in a row i ate what i am required to etc. yet the last 2 nights i git major sweet cravings so i stuffed myself with brownies and sweet cereal and spit up. same thing the night b4.
i know its a awful disease yet i thought (oh ill get it outta my system b4 it hits my body)
yet thats wrong and i admit donig that! and now im up to 189 today!
i am aware that doing that your body thinks its starving so it retains what it has and stalls u!
i havent done that in years. all tho i did it 4 the 1st time the other night!
so i feel a tad better sharing that yet i just want sumones daily schedule on what times they ate and what they ate and what exceersize they did how long and what! i want to follow a routine this is not the track i want to go down again at all or anybody 4 that matter!
i am so afraid sumone plz give me a routine to follow asap????????

Carbohydrate digestion begins in the mouth, so just because you purged it does not mean part of those sugars did not affect your blood glucose/insulin levels.

About meals and eating times. On Atkins, we eat when hungry or when 6 hours have passed since our last meal. If someone is hungry at 9 am, 1 pm, 4 pm and 9 pm today, it does not mean you'll be hungry at the same time, nor does it mean the other person will be hungry again tomorrow at exactly the same times. In general, I have a meal or snack, depending on how hungry I am, every 4 hours. But that's just me...

Exercise. Depends on my mood lately. Most often I do yoga, stability ball, running, biking and weights. Some days I do exercise videos, like the 30-Day Shred or Billy Blanks' Tae Bo videos.

PS: This was posted in the OWL forum, so I moved in to Extended Induction, since this is where you are with your diet.

So sorry to hear this.
Are you getting help for your problem Shalisa. I think this is something a person should have help and councelling with. I wish you all kind of luck and a much better day today.

Weight fluctuate quite a bit particuarly for us gals due to hormonal issues and it is not unusual to see an up on the scale.

Are you saying that you think you may be under eating?
That is not good as you have to deal with hunger and binging if that happens. Regular meals that make you full is what you are going for.

A typical day for meals for me may be
Breakfast: 2 eggs, 2 bacon (sugar free), 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar with a small mushroom, tiny bit of green onion and a bit of red pepper scramble

Lunch: One can of tuna with mayo and a small salad (1 1/4 cup) with olive oil and vinegar dressing

Supper: meat/fish/shrimp (about 6-8oz) with a veggie.

I make sure to drink plenty of water between the meals. If I want snack I have some boiled egg with a bit of mayo.

I exercise regularly but only what I feel natural for me. What do you like to do Shalisa?
