Binge Eating Kristin vs Binge Free Kristin
I was reading a magazine from April 2007 last night for the first time - A little late, I know! I was so immersed in the whole thing and wished I could be taking notes from it (I was in the bath and a pen and paper weren’t too handy). Since I don’t binge eat anymore and since I’ve lost weight, I continue to notice “new” things that really stick out to me now. It’s amazing how my interests have even changed… for the better, of course!
While reading this magazine I seriously wanted to have a highlighted handy so that I could mark all of the important information… I did find that folding the page works equally as well ;)
As I’m flipping through the pages, my mind was racing on how I could incorporate all of this information into my life ASAP. My eyes skimmed over the infamous dieting of any kind and focused on the healthier issues. I didn’t even read a sentence about why I should follow xyz diet; I really didn’t care.
Instead, I wanted to learn how I could make my life healthier, how I could benefit from making changes, and all of the organic information was awesome! This is the point where I noticed, yet again, “Wow, I’m such a different person!”
The old Kristin that had binge eating disorder would have only read the diet articles.
The Kristin that binged numerous times a day would have been attractee to the latest “trendy” diet to embark on and try to lose 5 or 30lbs.
Well… That Kristin is no longer here and I am so proud to say that.
The new and improved Kristin was interested in the healthy options and how to live the most chemical-free, pesticide-free, and organic life.
It was amazing and I’m so happy to have made the shift after struggling with binge eating for over nine years. Whew…
I did it!
