Hey buddies,

aww man, read some blogs that were upsetting. Quite a few of them talking about binging. Boy, I understand about that. Some of you know that i’ve been binging for 20 years. This is soo very hard to stop. Now, I am fixing to tell you what has helped me.  Am I doing perfectly now–of course not. However, I have seen changes in my behaviors. While, this may not help all of you guys that binge….on the chance that it will help one person…I am putting it out there. Now, I dont remember how long I have been following this very simple program. However, what I do know, is that my binges have decreased big time. Since i’ve started this way of dealing with food—I think i’ve had 2 binges. And, it was just little amounts–I realized what I was doing and I stopped. With emotional eating–food is not going to fix anything. I also have had my all time favorite binge foods 2 times and it was no problem. So, with that…here is the information. I got a book by Paul McKenna–called “I can make you thin”. Now, I read his rules–get them online without the book. However, knowing that information changed nothing for me. I ordered the book and the cd. I cant tell you how much this has helped me. Not only has it darn near completely stopped my binging–but, also I no longer think about food 24 hours a day-every day of the week. It has freed me. Now, like I said–this may not help you. However, if it will help one person–its worth writing about.

Now, I got a bit distracted after reading those blogs. Now, like I said–I love this new way of dealing with food. However, being stubborn as I am–I still think I can do this my way…his way (the authors) and mine too. lol. So, today I picking out problem areas and making a list. I am writing down what I think is the problem and how to fix it. For example, I dont get hungry til 2 or 3….but, then I want to eat late at night. So, my solution to that is to get my butt out of bed at a earlier hour. This will also help me to get to bed at a regular time instead of staying up all night. So, that is what i’m gonna be doing today after I get off here…..problems and solutions. I think some times we need to step back and see why things are not working for us instead of trying to force it…I WILL make this work lol.

Other news, feeling better now. All the meds are out of my system. So, this afternoon will be my 3rd day of my couch to 5k. I’m looking forward to getting out there and doing that. The next time I do it–I am supposed to start week 2. However, I dont know if I’m ready to step it up a bit. I will kind of judge that by how today goes. If I think I can do it…heck yeah…I will go on to week 2. However, its up to my body. I will say–self talk is a biggie on helping you or defeating you on something like this. You know what I tell myself as i’m jogging to that 2nd pole….I can do this…over and over…that is what I tell myself. Then, its yay…thank god, second pole..whew…lmao.

Alrighty guys–get out there and chase that sexy body you want. Work it.
