You doing alright my friend? The only thing I see about your post is that it seems like you feel you have control on whether or not you develop an eating disorder. Be vigilant, man. Those kinds of things can sneak up on you like nobody's business.

Another sign that this weight watch isn't just a project for you. It's gonna be a life-long process.

Ah, you said the magic words "bingeing" that will guarantee the inputting of my 2 cents.

First, yes, you binge. So do a lot of people with a lot of different things: candy, cigarettes, alcohol, drugs... whatever. Some say that even a little of any of the above is bad for you. Those people, who don't think anyone should EVER drink (not even to excess) or eat to excess are probably cut from a different cloth than I.
I think that most things, in moderation, can be OK.

I've studied your menu and been bored to tears. The same cereal and turkey sub over and over and over. It seems like you've limited yourself to the one or two sets of meals that you know will keep you under 1700 calories.

People have been telling you from the outset that your caloric intake was too low but you were comfortable with your weight loss. And it was working for you. But now, many months later, I believe your senses are bored.

So, by denying a piece of lasagna on a "good" day, you have to splurge and make it a "bad" day. And of course you have to eat the whole thing because, "tomorrow I'll be back in control." But that is a slippery slope, my friend. I'm guessing it wouldn't have been such a terrible bingey weekend if you'd let yourself have a big slice of lasagna and a salad and let yourself enjoy it. Damn the calories but not let that mean it was an "off" day. It would have been as filling as a turkey sub and maybe you would have let yourself enjoy the actual taste rather than scarfing it in just because you "decide" to have an off day.

The guilt has to be eating you alive. Don't let it. Maybe now is the time to reevaluate what your caloric intake is? Maybe now, since you're so close to your goal, you should intentionally introduce foods like lasagna and pizza (healthy but reasonable portions)? Because lifelong lesson here, you're likely going to be battling weight all your life. And trust me, figure it out before you're 40 because your body is a lot less forgiving in your 4th decade.

I truly think that you need to ease up on yourself in terms of your weight loss goals and timeline. You only have 30 pounds or so to lose. They are the hardest. Don't starve yourself with 1700 calories and NOT expect to binge. Or, conversely, let yourself enjoy the binge foods in moderation.

But please don't start the binge/purge cycle. Kevin is right. Stay vigilant. If you're going to eat a plate of lasagna, keep it down. You don't want to end up fat + diabetic + have an electrolight imbalance. Plus it's just plain gross.

More opinion: please consider an ongoing lifestyle change that will allow you to have a piece of cake or lasagna once in a while so that you aren't always feeling deprived. There is no reason why you can't have one of each in a week, especially if you're keeping to so few calories. If you hit the gym a few times, you'll still have a net loss. And you'll be happier.

This in no way should indicate that I am in my 4th decade.
