hokiedelicious Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 We went on our family beach vacation last week, returning this past Sunday. I did so well until we went to a fried seafood restaurant for lunch the second day and there was literally nothing for me. Mistake 1. Then I was coerced into drinking a fun beachy cocktail. Mistake 2. Then I gave up. Mistake 3. Needless to say, I feel like crap now. I feel like I weigh 1000 pounds, my mood is bad, and exhausted. I'm a completely different person that I was this time last week. There's some sun through my clouds though. My hubby has decided to join me on this new adventure and I'm so excited! I went grocery shopping yesterday and it was awesome filling my cart with fresh produce and beautiful meat. This time I will succeed and it will be awesome! Especially with the support of hubby.

I'm a completely different person that I was this time last week. It never ceases to amaze me how bad a binge makes me feel. And yet I've done it more than once! I know exactly how you feel, and how wonderful it is when you're back on track and buying all that lovely fresh grub. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 The good news is that you can come back! I also got track (multiple birthdays/celebrations) and I'm only three days back in to eating well again... and I already feel 100x better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xandra Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 The important thing is that you made the choice to get back up. I battle a sugar addiction. What I realized recently is that a binge for me today is what was normal eating for me a year ago. It was awful, it still is awful, but I have raised my food standards so high that last year's normal is no longer acceptable, it's now called a binge. That's a good thing. I never want it to be acceptable again, it's just taking me longer to make my good eating habits the new normal enough that I can leave the old ones behind without needing to go back and revisit that place. I think I'm getting there, but it's very much a two steps forward, one step back kind of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
