For the first group, while it seems completely LOGICAL that restricting can help balance what you may be overeating later, you end up in an unfortunate place. You more than make up for the restricted calories--because you eat faster, have less impulse control, less ability to use mindful behaviors, etc. For some, this gets accompanied by negative self talk and destructive eating, while others can move on more easily. And while restricting and while overeating, we hardly feel our best! <br /><br />These addresses it well: <br /><br />http://dropitandeat.blogspot.com/2010/12/running-off-carrot-cake-theres-gotta-be.html<br />http://dropitandeat.blogspot.com/2010/11/honor-thy-hunger-and-thy-fullness.html<br /><br /><br />For those caring to recover from their anorexia, restricting prior to the event, is rarely truly compensated for at the event. But it feels like an undesirable deviation from what should have been eaten. And so there is typically restriction again after the event. This may or may not lead to some overeating or binging, which then leads to restriction, and so the cycle continues.<br /><br />But the greatest point to make, is that in the big picture, we are trying to learn to respond better to our body and its signals. And denying food in preparation for overconsuming is a move in the wrong direction.HikerRDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170145903147301280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449641905298601952.post-41791749975431468102011-11-23T21:02:19.033-08:002011-11-23T21:02:19.033-08:00Fessing up here...I don't quite understand wha...Fessing up here...I don't quite understand what's wrong with Shari restricting before and after. I mean, I get that then she shows up at the event hungry and less able to resist overeating, but what's wrong with restricting afterward? Total calories in would be lower, right? I always call that my dietary penance, and it only lasts for a day (I still eat, but emphasize unadorned vegetables and low-fat protein). Is that unhealthy? It seems to work...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449641905298601952.post-32214160136558645872011-11-23T04:28:48.403-08:002011-11-23T04:28:48.403-08:00I usually spend hours on the net reading blogs on ...I usually spend hours on the net reading blogs on various subjects.

But that is just my perfectionistic side coming out ;o)<br /><br />Thankyou for all these tips...I am struggling to eat during the day, and hardly eat dinner really, so Christmas meals will be tough! And I usually do restrict before and after a get-together, but when the social gatherings are on top of each other, like Christmas, you do tend to panic! And schedule in extra exercise...<br /><br />I will try to remember your advice, and 'find some balance' in there somewhere...Much appreciated :o)Chantellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14969596274482669712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449641905298601952.post-19224892764173986132011-11-20T18:59:44.794-08:002011-11-20T18:59:44.794-08:00Firstly, how can it be this time of year again alr...Firstly, how can it be this time of year again already?!! Not that we do the thanksgiving thing here in Australia, but if we did, you know you'd be on my thankful list! xxx<br />I think for me the most ingrained habit is the one around changing behaviours before and after the event. The whole "I won't eat breakfast so I can have a big lunch", followed by the "I'll need to go for an extra run to burn it off" has been my normal for so long that it's almost hard to remember to not think these things. Or at least to not act on them.<br />Oh and as for being flexible...<br />xxxCatekeepcatebusy (Cate)http://keepcatebusy.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
