I am often able to easily put away all of this in one sitting. I bought this intending to binge it all because I was sad and going through a emotionally abusive breakup. I was horrified and ashamed when I saw the total and didnt go through with the binge but still feel kinda down and have all the food still in the house.
I'm a 5 foot female and weigh 115kg. I'm down from 120kg but it took me a year and most of that was just maintaining 115kg as I constantly fall off the wagon and a fresh breakup hasn't helped.
I havent been able to stick to my calories for more than 5 days. Ive lost 30kg in the past with intermittant fasting and calorie counting. I do an hour of walking and light strength training for my arms and legs a couple times a week.
I'm really struggling this time with emotional eating. I'm getting therapy for the breakup so i know what all my triggers are but it's still hard because I have to see my ex every day because we work in the same small accounting firm (I know, lesson learned!)
If anyone has kind advice, i'd love to hear it.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk 🙂

Breakups are SO, SO hard. Be easy on yourself – tomorrow is a new day. You’ve got this. 💜
Also not shown in the picture, 2 large fresh cream buns and 1 hot dog.
I wanna know what app is this
I am sorry, breakups suck. Is there something else you enjoy? It’s hard to replace an existing habit or behavior with nothing, easier with a replacement habit.
I have at least 20 different teas in my house. If upset, but I’ve eaten and exercised as normal, I have a cup and take that time to evaluate if I am hungry or if it’s something else.
Props to you for still logging it!
If I’m understanding correctly you did not in fact give in to your natural impulse to binge, based on looking at what the calorie impact would be.
Good for you! You’re one step in the right direction.
I’m so sorry about your breakup. That’s hard! Sending positive vibes your way.
You can still eat the food but over a few days instead of at one meal. Maybe have a couple of maintenance days to console yourself?
OH I FEEL YA!!!!!! Are you me? You’re doing great. You got this. Stick with it!
it happens!! don’t beat urself up, im so sorry abt ur breakup that sucks so bad, i hope u feel better ❤️🩹
You should see this instance as a win! You did not eat all that. You did the smart thing by logging it first. This is a *huge* step to show that *you are in charge* and you *do* have self control!!
Now, invite some people over and have them help with taking the food! Lol
Hello fellow kiwi! Breakups are dumb!! And it’s totally normal to grieve. I wish I had some good advice, but my eating was so out of control I ended up going to Thailand for a gastric sleeve (this is after doing the injection, losing 30kgs just to gain it all and then some back after I stopped).
So I totally understand, its tough. And its not like we can go cold turkey on food!
Breakups are really hard. Keep in mind without that negative influence in your life, you’ll probably have an easier time losing weight. I lost a bunch once I got away from my toxic ex, but it was intolerably hard when I was in the middle of it. Be gentle with yourself. You’re healing
I hate to say it but this is extremely relatable. I’ve had nights worse than this when it comes to relationships
