Hi
Hi,
If it makes you feel better, I ate enough this weekend to gain 5 pounds. I wouldn't let it take away from what you have already accomplished though. It was very hard for me to get down to 155, and this weekend I finished my first 5k with a new personal best of 30m49s.
I was eating to celebrate. But lessons are hard. I had to learn that I can't do this to my body, that it isn't right. I can't keep rewarding myself with food. After finally reaching such a big accomplishment, I went crazy.
I'm lowering my caloric level for the next week, and hopefully I will be able to drop some of these crazy pounds I gained over the weekend. More weight isn't good for the joints, especially if you're a runner.
Besides, I have another 5k in about 2 weeks and I need to be in tip-top condition for that.
Don't be hard on yourself, just get back on the horse and keep going.
It's hard for me too, but there is a voice inside of me that still tries to believe.
