Well, not sure how well that went. My eating seems to descend into a frenzy over the after noon and I'm sure I missed something between 2.30 and 8pm. A couple of things I need to point out to myself- Use my hunger scale. I found one going from -5 ( starving) to +5 ( absolutely stuffed) with 0 as neutral, more helpful than the standard 0-10 one. Not sure why!!!
And remind myself that if I eat from mouth hunger I'm throwing my stomach hunger off schedule, but it's fine if I do and I won't yell at myself.
I weighed myself this morning. I feel like I have lost weight but I have absolutely no reference point for it as I haven't weighed myself for ages. I found it a depressing experience and may do it next month- will see. I'm feeling a bit down anyhow so it really wasn't helpful. Numbers on a scale should not dictate how I feel about myself.

Anyhow- I can do this. I know I can. Food is not magic, it's not really my friend unless I'm actually hungry for it. I'm well on my way to becoming an intuitive eater.

10.15: Felt a little hungry, perhaps a -1 but also weak and a bit shakey so had a small bowl of muesli and yoghurt, I feel quite full now, about a 2, maybe a three.

11.45: the beginnings of hunger so a -1 perhaps? Had a jelly nake and 3 chocolate crips cakes.

12.30 A little hungry again so had a ham bagette and am now comfortably full at about +2.

3. A little hungry but ended up having a couple of cakes and some chocolate. I realised I really wanted to eat these things and that trying not to was just making me want them more so I went with it and ate until I didn't want anymore. I felt calmer after this and realised I'd got quite wound up trying to resist.

6pm I was really hungry so had some fruit. I still feel hungry so am going to see what I feel like....
More chocolate crackles cakes apparently!

I'm really disappointed in myself tbh- I thought i was 'doing better' than this.

But I've just read a thread on the BC forum about making mistakes that's been very helpful.
This is not a diet- I can't do this wrong!!! If it doesn't seem to be working, I just need to find something else to try. It's a journey I'm making up as I go along, not a scheduled trip on public transport.
If I binge, if I eat when I'm not hungry or past the point of satisfaction then I need to give myself a bit hug and congratulate myself for noticing what I'm doing. Tell myself I'm sorry I feel the need to eat when I don't have stomach hunger and just wait around for when it next shows up. I must remember NOT to fight a binge; talk to it, examine it, even dissect it but don't fight it. The point is that eventually I won't want to eat, not that I'll be able to stop myself.
