This is interesting Fiona. I never made a connection between not eating carbs and binging. I am going to research my journal to see what is going on right before my binges. You are right though. I feel stable when I eat the browns and have enough energy for everything. I have gained about 2 kg. so far and it is not going away. How did you drop them the first time around? Right now, I am not getting uptight about the extra blubber.

: Hi Jeffrey,

: I have trouble with letting go
: (scared to put on weight) and
: eating enough carbs. I keep
: wanting to cut my carbs too. I
: exercise so it is a vicious
: circle. I cut carbs and I am too
: tired to exercise. And then I
: binge. When I went through the
: steps in 2009 I was running and
: doing weights and I did gain about
: 3 or 4 kilos (and lost it again).
: For some reason I wasn't so
: worried about it then. But this
: time around the thought of gaining
: weight freaks me out.

: I am doing my best to eat enough
: browns (carbs) though and try to
: catch myself when I limit them
: because I actually do feel better
: and am less likely to binge when I
: eat enough.

: Hope you are able to work it out
: Jeffrey.
