believe you me, i am the type to get caught up in a week full of new foods and my eating habits slightly change. ive decided to take a new approach this week though. im starting my healthy eating habits out of town. im currently at my gmas house for thanksgiving break all week. lets go back: 1 month ago i was okay sitting at a steady 129lbs, but i struggled with the last 9lbs. desperate, i fell back into my starving mode practice and little and behold, 1 month later, im 9lbs heavier. im very ashamed with myself, but i have to keep my head up. i found your journal entrees from a link extended from the ebook my sister purchased and sent me for binge eating. the last month, i have been eating like there isnt a tomorrow, like i wont gain a pound. hah! i was so not right. but i thought, what a better day to start then today in fact, even though im away from home doesnt mean that i dont have choices. like you i love those lattes, espeacially the seasonal pumpkin spice latte and the peppermint latte just as equally…and its showing, but in determination, when at the gas station today i made a choice. next to all those yummy choices of pumpkin spice, white chocolate mocha, and peppermint lattes in the machiene, there was a choice of plain coffee, which i went for and i felt good and i still feel good. i also went to rent a pilates tape to do 20 minutes and although i havent done it yet, i know i will. the cold weather which is also very dreary and nasty as well, wont hold me back. i have to get back on track. to be honest, i need another route other then the gym. my gym is over crowded and very inconvenient, waiting in line for a machiene at the rec. center is anything but ideal, but your post motivated me to be honest. i actually walked my aunts dog today despite the weather. im trying so hard to keep that positive mind set you talk so much about, but its hard. ive been trying to recover from binge eating for nearly a year now and its a struggle to not think, “wow, you gained 9lbs, how can you ever loose it again?” to be honest, im kind of scared ill fall back into the cycle considering i am trying something new my eating right AWAY from home out of my element. the house is stocked with healthy goodies for myself and to ease that pumpkin craving i get from missing out on my latte, im substituting a yummy canned pumpkin w half a nana and half cup skim milk smoothie. delicious:) i know im rambling, but your posts i related to a T with and i just wanted to let you know that i think you just like that 40 year old in the gym. the way you appreciate what she has done for herself is the way i see you. you keep it up and do your best! i know you being away from home wont effect you in the slightest and i hope it wont hinder my efforts as well:)
