Binged. And STILL suffering from the aftermath.
So here's the dealio. I was 245 about two and a half years ago. Through eating right and exercise I managed to get down to a low, 115. The funny thing was that I had muscles, and I didn't look too scrawny. Well...I ended up getting too satisfied with myself and then got scared to gain the weight back. Sooo... I ended up hiking it up to Starvation Mode. Due to this, I ended up gaining weight and losing muscle. I gained ten pounds so got up to 126. The downfall after that is because I had starved myself for so long, a month after I binged about 7 times during that month (last month). Because of this, I have blown up to a current 140 lbs and I have so much fat that I'm not used to having. (Yes, they were HUGE binges!) About three days ago I started trying to get myself back on track, but it seems like I'm lost about how to eat, and what to eat. I almost feel like I am starting over. I would like to build back my muscle. I lift dumb bells for about a half hour every other day, and on days that I don't lift I ride my bike or swim for an hour. It seems though that the scale keeps getting higher from the binge. Like it hasn't stopped effecting me and I'm not sure when it's going to. I know some of it is water weight, but I would like to know when I might stop packing on the pounds from it. I was thinking of sticking to around 1,500 calories a day, and I have been drinking a lot of water and eating a lot of veggies to try and flush my system out. Thoughts? Ideas?
