I know that plateaus are annoying. You did make me laugh with the "stuckat173"

Well the good news is no binge yesterday...  Wish I could say the same about the past couple of months.  Anyway I know if the no binge thing is to continue I need support, and this seems to be the best place for me to get it.  So I am back.

@alligatorob glad to see you back. Every day is a new start so keep going! Have you tried protein drinks. not the meal replacement kind but the protein only kind. they are around 130-140 calories and may help you feel fuller for longer. The premixed kind are fast and easy with no preparing powders.

That surprised me a little, but I always lose a quick few pounds after ending a binge streak.

Thanks Andrew, good to see you too.  Good that  you are still here.

I do drink protein drinks my trainer at the gym got me started.  I have one before going to the gym most days.  The one I have now is Spylt - Caffeinated Chocolate it has 20 grams of protein and enough caffeine to replace a cup of coffee.

3 days without bingeing

Thanks Andrew, but it always does after I stop bingeing, 5 pounds in 5 days is about typical.  I think its a combination of dropping water weight from carb reduction and clearing solids out of the system.  I am sure I am losing a bit of fat, but it can't happen that fast.  Soon I will level out and if I can keep up the better eating and no binges it will more slowly drop...  Like you!

I dont want to push you but have you thought about talking to a councilor? It might help. You said you binged on ice and frozen broccoli so it doesn't seem like a normal craving for something sugar or a matter of how hungry or full you are. That's hard to offer advice for. I want to help but I dont know how to in a helpful way.
