Losing weight in minutes is like a miracle. Losing junk, those empty, fat making calories in seconds is only possible with purging. That's right, vomiting to avoid calorie consumption.
Today before inducing vomiting, I weighed myself pre-vomiting and again post-vomiting. I lost 700 grams. I really wasn't expecting such a dramatic difference. It feels satisfying getting rid of the naughty calories, but seeing that instant weight loss added to my sense of accomplishment. I enjoyed the ice-cream and chocolate, but didn't have to wear all of it.
Typically we all over indulge sometimes. I found it shocking to see how small a portion of food for my gender, age and size really is. Calorie counting can be a good thing. It helps you get your head around the fact that you are actually eating more than you should. Also realising how small your portions really should be, is a good thing. After a life time of bad eating habits, it can be hard to cut back all the time. Sometimes you do want to enjoy the foods you love, without tipping the scales and undoing the hard work you've put in, trying to avoid the sugary treats.
Throwing up your food can seem like a magic fix. It's not as easy as it seems. And its not always practical or possible to excuse yourself and vomit. It doesn't get rid of all the food, you've consumed. It's noisy, it can be smelly and people can hear what you're up to and its socially unacceptable, unless you are actually sick.
So you have overindulged. You feel guilty. With hindsight...bad, bad, bad. You could just skip a meal, to make up for those additional treats you ate? Absolutely! Definitely the better way to diet, than to induce vomiting.
