thanks lily - but the willpower only comes from total single mindedness. to the detriment of many other things sometimes, like work - which i'm meant to be dong right now. but i'm finding that by not allowing myself the foods that i have the biggest problem controlling my intake of - (wheat, and most sugary things)- I actually enjoy eating the healthier things much more - and the less I eat the less I want to eat. This way I am more lenient on myself when I do 'binge'. a binge for me used to be at least 1000cal! usually 1500, but now any one meal that is over 500cal counts as a binge - and I don't see them as things to feel guilty about, more as treats to be enjoyed. for instance the curry i had last night, I had less than half of each thing I ordered and I stayed away from the stuff that I would have got in the past(i ordered 2 veggie curries and a salmon tikka starter, no creamy sauces and plain instead of pilau rice) also it tasted better than usual and I didn't feel terrible afterwards and although I felt a bit bloated this morning usually after a curry I would feel awful and be having terrible stomach cramps and you know, farting and all (sorry for being so graphic).
Hopefully I'll keep losing weight on around 1000 a day - it may all go terribly wrong if I hit a plateau, but we'll see.
and in answer to the other question - no wheat means no cakes, no biscuits, no bread, no pizza, pasta, no burgers, no sandwiches, no pies quiches or pasties, no sausage rolls, no stuffing at xmas, no donuts....I could go on. I'm on day 6. let's see how I feel on day 344. hmm.
