I failed and binged again. Today I'll have to restrict even more.

Binge eating has been part of my life ever since I hit puberty. I guess it's my mind's way to cope with all the negative feelings. Or so I thought...

I've set myself out on a journey seven days ago, to change my unhealthy ways and be healthy and fit again. I'm 20kg overweight and I started incorporating light every-day excercises with a 1200 cals a day diet. Only healthy foods allowed, even healthy snacks. I didn't have a problem till yesterday. I was happy with this diet, no cravings, so no bad choices were made. Until yesterday. I don't know what hsppened, i had an average day, no stress on my mind, and yet, I fel the sudden, unresistable urge to eat after my dinner was done. I knew I had enough cals, yet somehow I felt that all-too-familiar call for binging. My only win is that I was able to binge in healthy snacks. Yet, I went over my daily cal goals by 800...

So today, I'll try to restrict a bit more. I don't want to do anything drastic, but I'll lower my goal to 1000 cals. And for the next four days I will do the same.

Any thoughts? Is this a crazy or manageable idea?

Btw I am planning a 30 minute swim in the pool today, otherwise I'll have a light 30 mins walk and a 15 mins cardio excercise set to do today.
