I've been eating healthy and a normal amount (until i'm satisfied) and exercising in any form (bike ride, sit ups, push ups) once a day. And I've been writing it down. Then, if I ever eat something unhealthy, I do extra exercise to burn it off or cancel it out or whatever. I am really ahppy with my body. I think it looks healthy and strong. My goal weight is 125, so just like 10 pounds away. I will continue doing this until I reach it. And I know I will.
Also, I think I havent binged in a really long time because I do not hate my body or myself, but i love it. when i look in the mirror, i see only positive things, and i now realize that that is rare. most people look in the mirror and see the negative things and are so critical and they hate themselves for their chubby stomach or something, but that is really not how i see myself. i've been working on that for over a year, and only now did i realize "wow! i really made it!"
Now, if I ever want to binge because i feel lonely, I think "well if I binged now, in about 2 hours i would not just be feeling lonely, but lonely, fat, worthless, and uncontrollable. Wouldn't i just rather feel lonely? Or, if I am happy and i want to eat a ton, I say " well, now i feel really happy. if i ate that i'd be feeling happy and extremely disappointed in my lack of control. wouldnt i rather feel fully happy?
Also, I learned that if I crave a piece of cake, have it because otherwise i will feel deprived and eat other htings until i finally give in and have the cake. if i just had the cake, its probably all i would have. so i learned to just eat the cake, and do 100 sit ups.
I really feel that now i finally discovered a way to live. i am not "on a diet." i am living healthily so that i can sustain a healthy lifestlye and maintain one weight instead of yoyoing up and down every couple of years.
wow, do i feel relieved. i feel great.
