This is a blog about my weight loss journey, and anything else I deem important about what's going on in my life. It's meant to be a way for me to reflect on the daily events of my life, although comments are welcome and encouraged!
Ok girl, calm down. You're going to be fine. Put down the processed foods and watch Food Inc. Read French Women Don't Get Fat and Skinny Bitch. You can still eat sweets. Hell you can still gorge yourself with sweet treats. One word secret...fruit. It may not seem like the most desirable thing all of the time, but trust me, if I'm feeling the need to just mindlessly stuff my face b/c I'm stressed, I cut open a watermelon and down half of it. Do your ABSOLUTE best to cut out processed foods for about 1-2 months and trust me, when you eat them again you will feel sick. Sweet tea? Can't drink it anymore. Too much sugar. I want you to email me if you ever have any questions or anything. I know I'm leaving soon, but I want to help you as much as possible. I'm not sure if you know this or not about me, but I've struggled with weight my whole life. I'm a former bulimic and have been on an uphill battle since high school controlling my weight. Sure, a lot of it has to do with body image, but that is something that you are going to have do deal with sooner or later. So feel free to email me anytime if you want to talk about it, have any questions, or just need to vent. emmablythe82@gmail.com
If it makes you feel better, we all binge from time to time. Remember the doughnut fundraiser the kids had? I said no to the krispy kremes all day and then bought a box on my way out. I ate SIX in a row. SIX. That's 1200 calories. Over half my daily caloric intake. But you smack yourself up side the head and move on. Let me know if I can be of any help...
Lauren, Though I have never seen myself as one that eats compulsively, I am starting to think that I, too, struggle with this. Though there are different extremes, I do think that I OVER EAT sugary foods when they are near. So...you are not alone. By the way, I would love to get together with you!! I know that we had talked about this before. Maybe we can be food/exercise/etc. accountability partners!! e-mail me your thoughts cdbrown@ngu.edu
