So time for another update. I had to be away from the computer for a little while to get into the routine of classes starting again. Stressful time for me and I ended up binging for about a week. -___- Went up to 144 pounds but that's still 8 pounds less than where I started so I'll just keep pushing forward.
In other news, I have started a "February Challenge" through one of the forums I frequent. No the idea was not mine, but it is a collaborative participation dieting. The idea is that for the month of February you are allotted 14,000 calories. You can eat them at any rate but not go over that. In addition, everyone's weight and weekly consumption is being tracked. So far I am doing good. I created a calorie schedule for myself which allows me to have both eating and fasting days and the best part is that the schedule allows for a 400 calorie binge in case I have one. </Maths> But here is what it looks like:
Day: Calories
1: 1000 5: 200 09: 600 13: 600 17: 200 21: 1000 25: 200
2: 800 6: 000 10: 800 14: 400 18: 400 22: 800 26; 0
3: 600 7: 200 11: 1000 15: 200 19: 600 23: 600 27: 200
4: 400 8: 400 12: 800 16: 000 20: 800 24: 400 28: 400
In addition to that, I am back on my 36 hour intermittent fasting since it worked so well for me the first time. The idea is that instead of a 24hr day I count every 36 hours as being a whole day out of which 12 I am allowed to eat, and 24 are liquid fasts. That said, I over lapped it with the schedule above so on my eating times I can consume the amount of calories that I have listed for the day. If I have any remaining calories I did not consume from previous day, I can either chose to use them or save them for later in case of a binge. So this is what it will look like:
Feb-3 12 am until Feb-4 12 am => Fasting
Feb-4 12 am until Feb-4 12 pm => Eating: allowed calories, 400, but I can use some of the 600 calories from the previous day if I want to.
Feb-4 12 pm until Feb-5 12 pm => Fasting
Feb-5 12 pm until Feb-6 12 am => Eating: allowed 200 calories but I can use some of the unused calories from previous day
... And so on.
This does 2 things:
1) makes me not focus on food during fasting days and feel comfortable with the though that soon I will be eating anyways.
2) When I do eat, I can have all my calories at once and then go to sleep since the window of opportunity is so small. This also helps curve binges since I will be eating a regular sized meal.
....oh and extra, if I do binge, I have a calorie bank.
So on that note, I push forward! Woot!
V Peace

PS: Here is an article that pisses me off its about social media sites attempting to ban #thinspo & #Fitspo pictures. Such nonsense!
Here's something I decided to render up ^-^ ~! It's all the stuff I ate today. Total calorie consumption for today is 340. So I am definitely keeping on track Yesterday was my 600 hundred calorie day and I came in at 490. Today is the 400 hundred calorie day.
