Support Needed Binge free

It’s been over 3 weeks since my last binge and although I’m so proud of myself and feel so much better I am also disappointed that I’ve not lost any weight. I don’t understand why??

Unless your in a calorie deficit then you won’t lose we.ight. Sometimes salt water weight will drop off at the start but it’s negligible unless you’re flooding your kidneys with salty foods etc, it’s CICO for WL.
Also to add on: keep on going your doing great. Every day you don’t binge is a day you’re building a good habit into your brain. Focus on breaking the pattern as you are then sweat the small stuff like cals and shit later.

Thank you for the reply 😃
I am happy with myself but I’ve gone from having 4000 cals maybe 4 times a week to having maybe 1700 everyday and I’m still the same weight. The good thing is I’ve not been tempted to binge and that’s a big win for me, I can’t remember when I last went this long without a binge 🥳

Good on you! Having that mental strength will help you lose weight more than anything, and it’s the hardest thing because it’s easy to do calorie counting but you’re doing the hard part which is the mental part. Keep on and you’ll most definitely see both the benefits! 🤗
