Hi
I've been doing really well and finding it quite easy, until the last couple of days. I've been so busy at work, my boys been poorly (thankfully much better now) and totm has really been messing me about this month. I just feel so tired and emotional and hormonal and under the weather (not poorly just like I might be any minute). And I just want to eat, I don't mean binging on familysize bags of malteasers (yet), just more than I have been having, white bread sandwiches and big plates of pasta and sauce. But I am scared it's gonna end in a BINGE!!
The thing I'm wondering is whether to give into this in a controlled way by upping my calories to get me through this slump. I definitely went over my 1200-140 yesterday, but think I came in under 2000 so shouldn't be putting on at this level. So should I let myself go up to there or 1800 or something temporarily to get myself through this?
But if I do that is it just a matter of time til I find the next excuse. I really, genuinely don't know if I'm just looking for an excuse to eat.
Any advice appreciated.
