We had people over on Saturday. We had bought goats cheese, brie and a blue cheese. Served them at the table, during the night, all i wanted to do was stuff my face with the cheese. I didn't though, i cant do it when people are around. I did have some but a very moderate amount. Next morning, i had some with breakfast, and then a few crackers. As i was then getting changed i realized i was starting a binge. I was already feeling guilty for the cheese i ate at breakfast. So what did i do, i threw the cheese out. I thought about the 800 kcal it represented and the fact that i would have to repeat the mornings exercise FOUR TIMES to burn that. I never really throw out food, i tend to finish everything. So this was a huge step. I threw out the left over cheese, and i was so relieved. The temptation was gone. I made a snack of strawberries and mango. It is really hard to catch yourself mid binge and really stop it.

What helped was thinking about the calories and how much i would have to workout to burn it. Also helped that i caught it early. I recognized the need to eat as not being related to hunger, but a very strong Want. Very glad i did it.
