Bitchiness while dieting?

[Anonymous]

now I remember why I quit my last diet...

I was doing really well for a few weeks, lost about 15lb starting from 155lbs, but last for the whole day yesterday, EVERYTHING annoyed me, I couldn't think straight and was very short with people, I kept thinking "I lost all this weight, I should be happy!" , I am so sore I stumble walking.. anyways last night I was thinking "Is ir worth it?" basically I've been miserable this whole diet minus the few seconds I look at the scale and my flat stomach in the mirror. I rather feel like myself and be full of love and fat and happy than a skinny bitch. I began to binge and then like magic my light came back, I was talkative and energetic. How can I deal with the personality change? with time will it go away, or will I always be bitchy when I'm under my regular weight? what did I do wrong/ what causes bitchiness while dieting? sorry

i wish I had a better word for it.lol it actually a mix of bitiness/depression. Is it food addiction?

The way to lose weight is not to not eat. Of course you are bitchy and annoyed- you're hungry!

It helps to eat every couple hours. Grab a yogurt and high fiber cereal in the morning, and a few hours later have half a turkey sandwhich, and a piece of fruit with some steamed veggies, A few hours later have a string cheese. Dinner have 5oz lean meat, a salad, and steamed veggies. For dessert have some fruit.

That way you are eating all the time. You may want to mess with the meal plan a bit. I suggest logging your calories to make sure you are getting the right amount. You may just need to eat more. Don't go below 1200.

What are you doing to lose weight? Please help a sister out.. congratz on the 15 lbs!

[Asker]

well.. I didn't mention it because I knew it would upset people, but I literally only drank water for 7 days straight and coming off the fast I had an apple then worked out. I know I pushed myself too hard, but last time I dieted (lost 25lbs) I did it over a long period of time with healthy eating and exercise and I still wasn't the same and that's why I quit that diet. It's the mental battle for me... I can handle the physical..

People would have chewed you out for that regimen

[Asker]

yep I know. I know it's not healthy, I defiantly have eating issues, there is no happy medium for me. Its either, binge, or starve, I wish people wouldn't attack like they do... I know what I'm doing is wrong, I just need help psychologically...don't we all..lol

Its possible you are dieting too hard. If you change your diet dramatically like that, your body has a bunch of negative consequences. Obviously you'll have less energy which will lead to most of the symptoms you are talking about, but also your body will think you are starving yourself and your craving for food will go way up. That's why you binged. Food=energy and for your body energy=good so it will screw with your brain and hormones as much as it can to get you to eat more. That's why dieting is so hard.

thank you I am thinking the same, fruit will give me energy, I set myself up pretty bad, I didn't eat that whole day and by night time I was starving
