Namaste!

Okay, I gotta make this really quick, because I waking up at 5:30 tomorrow to head to YOGA! I’ve done it a few times in the past, but never stuck with it because 1) I’m terrible at it.  and 2) I...

Drumroll, please!

I present to you, my collage! These pictures represent things I want to go/see/do/feel before I kick the bucket. Well, actually I want to do them right now. Okay, let me ‘splain, going clockwise from...

Conquering the Snack Basket

At my place of work (which I love, btw. I just don’t love how much time I spend there.) they have a lot of free food for us – a huge basket full of snacks gets refilled every Tuesday, and they have...

Rollin’ Along…

I’m happy to report that the snack basket has officially lost its appeal. Isn’t that so ridiculous, after it tormented me all those years? Today, I ate two delicious, juicy peaches, which were...

A Good Day.

So, it’s been nearly 3 weeks of this eat-whatever-I-want plan, and I think I’m starting to settle in and eat more like a regular person now. The food that was off-limits before is just normal food now,...

How it all started

I’m nearing 3 weeks binge-free, which is probably world record territory for me…exciting! Today was the same as the past few days, which can be summarized like this: - I’m eating way more (and...

Looking forward to Christmas

Okay, first, how do you spell ‘bingeing? Like that, or binging? Dictionary.com has both. Usually you drop the ‘e’ for ing words, but then it looks like it would rhyme with ‘pinging’. So, I’m sticking...

Reflections After 3 Weeks

Back in early June when I made my plan for eating, and I thought “Oh, I’ll eat whatever I want! But probably what I’ll want to eat is pretty strict paleo food, and not a lot of carbs.” And when I made...

Practice Makes Perfect

This week is kind of a crazy one at work…I have FOUR dinners/work events. Tonight was the first one. We’re interviewing for a new executive, so they wanted to bring the candidate out for dinner and...

Always a lesson…

Bad news: Today sucked. Good news: I am 100% certain would have ended in a binge, if I wasn’t using my new mindset. And I didn’t binge. I woke up at 5am so that I would have time to go running before...

Desiderata

Desiderata…it means “desired things” in latin, and is the name of my favourite poem-type-thing. I’m not generally much of a poetry enthusiast, but when I read this for the first time a few years ago,...

Finding my groove

Oh, whoops, I wrote a post last night and then rushed to go to sleep and didn’t actually publish it! Oh well, it was short and not-that-exciting anyway. What I said though, is I nailed it at that...

Yesss.

Last night I re-read Ditching Diets, by Gillian Riley, after people on the Brain Over Binge forum mentioned it. I read it the first time a long time ago, and it didn’t make that much of an impression,...

4 Weeks Binge Free!

4 weeks! That is DEFINITELY a record for me. I really feel like I have the bingeing under control, and now I want to master overeating. Of course the term “overeating” is kind of subjective, but...

The Weigh-in

Okay, so I weighed myself this morning! 164.8lbs. Which was around the same as it was 4 weeks ago. Which proves that if I don’t binge, I can still eat a ton of food and not end up being the size of a...

Trucking along…

Story Time

To properly tell you about the times I went to therapy will require a big long build-up story, so you understand where I was coming from. It will be long, and anticlimactic. Sorry in advance. 4 years...

On with the story…

Okay, so where we left off yesterday I had just binged every day for a month straight and erased all of my crazy efforts for the six months before that. I pulled into my new city the fattest I’d ever...

Therapy, Part 3

Hey! Today was a good day. I feel like I’m getting better at identifying the addictive urge to eat, as Gillian Riley would say. I still have work to do, but it’s not like I’m going to go from a...

Oh, happy day!

A small miracle occurred today. I went shopping at Whole Foods (Larabars were on sale. Everything else at that store is super expensive, but I still love going because it’s so beautiful)…anyway, the...
