SpecialSundae Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Right. This may seem like a really weird woot in a forum where paleo is king and most people are focusing on eating healthy, and anyone who does follow my Instagram feed will know that whilst I'm IIFYM I actually eat pretty healthily, but I was so proud of myself last night. I've been bulimic since my early teens. Sometimes under better control, other times I'd be vomiting after every meal (no matter how small). Takeaway (and most especially pizza) has stayed a trigger. I'm fine sometimes but if I feel out of control of my food then it was coming back up, particularly when I'm not tracking. I was at a party thrown by my ex last night and pizza was dinner. I was starving and ate half a 16" pizza (taking me well over my calorie goal and 50g over my carb goal). Almost out of habit, I wandered to the toilet after eating but realised as I sat down that I had no urge to purge. That I felt comfortable with what I'd eaten and I knew that one meal wasn't going to break all my good habits. I'm still probably going to battle with pizza and it certainly will never be a regular staple in my diet, but I couldn't help but feel proud that I actually managed that in a fairly stressful social situation. 23 Quote Link to comment
aalex Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 That's awesome! You should be super proud of yourself. I know how awful eating trigger food (mine is cereal, chocolate, and grilled sandwiches) is after recovery and you did a great job holding it down. 1 Quote Ranger/Assassin | Level 2Strength: 4 | Dexterity: 1 | Stamina: 3 | Constitution: 3 | Wisdom: 4 | Charisma: 1Paleo | Body weight workout | WeighliftingIntro | Previous 6 Weeks Challenge | Current 6 Weeks Challenge Starting weight: 180lbsCurrent weight: 156.5lbsGoal: +/- 140 lbs There is nothing to fear but fear itself.

redimagination Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Well done that is a huge step! While I've never had trigger foods as such but I understand how freeing it can be (mine was a bag of haribo sweets).

Rookiebeotch Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Overeating, undereating, low blood pressure, high blood pressure, the sound of laughter, thoughts of your mother.The list of deflaters goes on and on. Eating pizza will never be one for me. Half a pizza? Pfft! I measure my pizza consumption capabilities with integers, not fractions.
