Day 59. Time for me to get in shape and try to lose these stubborn pounds. I was so down on myself this weekend when I was visiting my bf, who always tell me I'm beautiful. It's the worst feeling insecure, especially around him. For months I've had horrible sleeping habits and have become quite dependent on sleep aids and caffeine. I think the rollercoaster is causing me to lose grasp my emotional well-being and I've just been so down for no reason I can explain. I'm going cold turkey, saying no to coffee, diet soda, etc and going to teach my self how to sleep naturally again. Maybe this will kick this little bit of depression I have going on and allow me to gain my confidence more quickly. The more confidence I have, the more motivation I have to keep working hard.
Happy Monday. I hope everyone had a great weekend!
Great job everyone!!! I made successfully through Day 3 yesterday! Despite going to the doctor and finding out what my TRUE weight was yesterday, no binges! I felt completely in control! It felt great!!!
Looking forward to a great Day 4 today! Sending happy thoughts to all today!! Good luck everyone! Make today great!
Day #2!
Although it is only my second day from a binge-free life, I begin to wonder why I ever allow myself to binge in the first place. I feel so good! Eating healthy and exercising just makes me happy... especially when I see the number on the scale the next morning. Thanks for posting this! Great encouragement to see those of you on day 179, 59, and 32. Just shows that it is possible!
60 Days! woohoo the 2 month mark.. I feel like it's been so much longer, but it is what it is. Like I said in my previous post, I'm done torturing my body. I haven't in 2 months, aside from drinking wine on the weekends, etc. but I haven't binged on food. So, it's time to really focus on the amount on loosing weight, without becoming obsessed with food again.
Congrats to all of you. Pressing on, those double digit #'s will be here before ya know it!
Good Luck everyone! I have a job interview today, wish I had more confidence to being into it.
Tater tash, I wish you the best of luck for your interview today. You can do this! You are doing great conquering the binge thing, and now you can do great on your interview! I believe in you and so does your boyfriend. (Where I live people would kill for an interview, any interview. Some people would kill for a boyfriend.LOL) Stay strong. Hold your head up high and pretend you have confidence. Everyone else pretends. Like Tony Robbins says, "Act as if you're wearing a cape like Superman or some hero to give yourself confidence." You can do this!
I think it's great that you are trying to detoxify your body and sleep naturally. I think stress or lack of finances might be a culprit. It sure is for me sometimes when it comes to sleeping.
