Oh my God! What was that?

Oh my God!  What just happened this weekend???  I went through the house (well, mainly the fridge and pantry) and ate like a swarm of locusts hitting a small, unsuspecting country town.  This has happened before, pre-band, when I would be mid-cycle and my appetite would resemble that of a teenage boy home from college.  It was crazy.  Crazy because my band was doing a whole lot of objecting (A LOT of PBing) but I wasn't listening.  Some bizarre forcefield took over my body and commanded me to fork food into my mouth even after I felt satisfied.  Yes, in my delerium, I still recognized I should be stopping...I just couldn't, wouldn't, didn't.  Holy Hannah...what was that about?  I made myself literally sick.  It was absolutely disgusting and I hope to never repeat that.  I am laying off everything tomorrow except the basics to survive.  I need to detox.  I have no idea why this happened other than to wonder if it was some kind of body rebellion, test or hormones gone wild.  Thank God it's over.  I feel better tonight.  I am hitting the gym hard tomorrow...I can promise that.  Does this happen to others too from time to time?  How do you deal with it?

Major PMS cravings and helpings! I even went off the pill and it is worse! Just don't beat yourself up and start fresh in the morning!

PMS...arghhh!!!!! And apparently the food moves thru the band much faster during PMS. Hang in there

locust..hahahahah...that made me laugh!

I binge every now and then. I would tell you not to worry, BUT...I must slap your hand bc PBing a lot is scary and band for your band! So binge if you must but not to the point of hurting yourself!!!

With that said. Maybe now its out of your system for awhile? That's what I like to tell myself anyways :)

I just found your blog and look forward to following you on your journey!

I was just banded 4 weeks ago and except for 8 lbs that I lost week 1 I am stalled! Can't wait for my first fill. I can use all the help and encouragement I get from fellow bandsters so please stop by and say hello!
