Its Frrriiiiiidaayyyy!


Ah, good morning, Fat-Secret-ers!

I woke up this morning with a strange hankering for a fried egg, ham and cheese breakfast sandwich. I think it had something to do with reading the Super Market Survival Guide before I went to bed. haha

I also woke up this morning feeling confident and energized. I feel like April is a clean slate. Plus, I just feel so much better than I have in weeks. Its something so internal I cant really describe it correctly.
Well, I did put that confidence to good use. I took a very BOLD move and weighed myself. TWO POUNDS DOWN! I have been eating more, so I wouldnt have expected it. I guess I will start again, but remember to keep in mind its just a number! There will be fluctuations and what-have-you-nots. I'm not going to take it as seriously as I once did. Or I'll just have to keep telling myself, "Slow and steady, Slow and steady."

I finished Intuitive Eating yesterday. I read through Appendix A and B again last night to remind myself of everything I have learned. Since I was ravenous at dinner, it was tempting to overeat. I did catch myself in the kitchen looking for random tid-bits after I knew I was full. So i asked myself, "If I am not hungry, what am I? Lonely? Angry? Sad? Bored? Food is not what I need. Then what do I need?"
Sure enough, it was a case of boredom. I removed myself from the kitchen and the munchies were soon gone when I distracted myself with reading. I did sneak in 2 more dark chocolate Altoids, but they were well worth it. haha

It hasnt been easy, i guess you could say, but it is becoming more natural to me every day. And the more I practice, the easier it gets.
I dont want to jinx myself!!!!!!
But I have not binged and purged in 17 days- more than two weeks.
I over ate about a week ago. That wednesday was a f***ing HARD day. I'm not saying that was an excuse, I'm just saying there was a real reason. Something in my life wasnt right and my over eating was a symptom of my unhappiness.

I'm glad to report that as far as my eating goes, (hell, i guess you could say in my general life) I am much happier.
You'd never really think that the way you eat and the foods you eat could effect your life so dramatically. But it really does.
WE ARE WHAT WE EAT!

Oh, and I couldnt possibly find the time to work out Wednesday or Thursday, but! It was a wonderful break for my muscles so I am kind of glad haha I am going to work out today though. I am very excited to get into the game again.

I'm going to have a snack and get started. And i'd like to say Have a great weekend to all my buddies!
