girlygirlatheart's Journal, 08 April 2009

Well, lets see. Its been a while. So whats new, buddies? I need to make my rounds and read me some journals.
My quads are not burning anymore! yay!
I am 'back on track' with my eating after a weekend of junk food. I just found out that that kinda food doesnt make good fuel, and honestly, I think I'll pass most (if not all of it for the next few weeks) up. I enjoy exercising too much. HAHA
Yesterday I really couldnt do my full cardio because I was suffering a food hang over from sunday. Has anyone ever had those? You eat too late at night or you go to bed on a full stomach, and you wake up feeling dead. My mouth was dry, my stomach ached, and I just felted bloated and heavy. Ehhh. No Bueno. No bueno at all.
I'm glad I feel better today.
I kept my exercise on track though this weekend, so thats a plus!
Haha

I have discovered that I am no longer eating healthfully and exercising to solely lose weight, as I was in the past. I am doing it because it makes me feel better. I feel the difference.

I havent thrown up/binged/purged in 22 days. My counselor says to give myself a couple more months and I will never have those feelings again. For the first time in a long time, I know I am going
to be okay. Even if I slip up, its not the end of the world.


So yesterday, I decided that I was going to live in the moment, and I dyed my hair. I was waiting until I reached my goal, but I just decide I didnt want to wait. Its now Red! I am going to post a picture later today. ANNNDDDD


I think I am going to post a picture of me two years ago, at around 250 pounds. Its the only one i have. Not at my heaviest weight, but very close.

I just feel like I need a severe reality check, and making it public would be a really big step

I have to give myself credit for that. And I think it will reinforce my intuitive eating strength. I can look at it, and it will remind me how far I have come.

YAY post some pics, I love before and afters. Also if my pics were not black and white you'd see that I am a red head. I did the opposite though...I quit dying my hair. I kinda hit this point in life where the blonde highlites I was getting were no longer highlites but my entire head was blonde from getting it done. I was in a I'm not gray yet mode and figured I'd do something when I was. Congrats on getting your wig did!!!

How cool r u! My pic is about a year old so its not a good example- my hair is super uber red with blonde chunks lol. I am going through a rockstar phase I think. Can't wait to see the new/old pics. Good job on the not binging/purging. Very proud of ya! I think had a food hangover this weekend after the party I went to, I still feel like crap, 'cause I haven't entirely gotten back on track. Lesson learned....

You are doing so awesome, and your attitude rocks! I love it! I'm so happy for you. And red hair rocks. Mine is also a bright red.

I do know what you mean about the food hangover. I've had MANY throughout my life. It feels crappy. I'm so proud of you ... stay with the counseling ... the more time you get "under your belt" without engaging in the binge/purge cycle indeed your success rate will increase!! You are doing awesome ... I agree!!!
