"Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles…it empties today of its strength." – Aunt Linda (sent by Jennifer Cribbs, SparkPeople community member)
I had a busy weekend! We went to the Zoo, the body worlds exhibit at the science museum, the global market, and a drag show at the Gay 90s. And that was only Thursday and Friday of last week! On Saturday we went to the lifetime fitness Triathlon because it is 3 blocks from my house. My trainer, David, and one of my coworkers competed. My coworker got 3rd in her age group!! considering this is a HUGE triathlon really good.
I couldn't find anything to wear Thursday night - no shorts, pants, or skirts would fit me. Granted I was somewhat bloated but it was quite the wake-up call. I need to stop the binging...a little cheat is fine but my cheats are never little. This needs to be a total lifestyle change - for good. Not just 6 days a week with a cheat day, not just 12 weeks of contest dieting, etc. That is not healthy for me mentally or emotionally and it just encourages a binge-type behaviour. I was much happier and content with my strict diet. I felt better, my skin was better, and on and on. Now I'm just working on the implementation.
I'm sooooo excited for my training session on Friday. I can't wait to have a goal! sorry to keep ranting about the same things in my blog...progress not perfection!

I hate binge eating. I have had so much trouble with it in the past and I have found out from my blog and people that read it...binge eating is not that uncommon, unfortunately. Set a new goal and have something to work towards!!!
=)
Woman, Just had an enlightening moment. You do realize that last year at this time we were eating BFL style and not cheating during the week and we had a cheat day once a week!!! Now we are freaking out when we screw up one or two days...maybe a week but we are much more strict...(no carbs!!) and what the heck is our problem. Seriously we need to chill out, i am kinda writing this for myself as well as for you. so there that is all I have to say. Lets kick it woman here we go and Hawaii here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
I never realized how common the binge eating was until I met other women so into fitness. I wonder to myself if I'll ever eat "normal" (as if there is such a thing) again. Like you said, progress not perfection. I think that if I'm good MOST of the time, I'll be ok.
