I’m learning to love me for me. I know that I do everything I can to be the best person I can be so there isn’t any reason not to be totally proud of myself and love myself with my whole heart. :D

When I set this goal for myself (15 days ago) I weighed 134 pounds and I was a binge eater. Today I have been binge free for 15 days, I feel great, and I am at 128 pounds. I’m on my way to 120! ;D

Two weeks ago I wrote the first entry on this conversation.. “no more binges from this moment on” and honestly I didn’t know how I was going to do it but I knew that I just had to. The routine that I was in was not healthy at all and I had to change that. I haven’t binged in 15 days now… I’ve gotten this far and there’s no turning back.. I can’t resort to the old me. I feel great! I’ll admit, I’ve had urges but I am learning how to re-direct them to other things instead of food. I know that if I have a bad day at work instead of heading to the kitchen and gorging myself w/ food I go change out of my work clothes and remind myself that I’m done with work for that day and I’m not going to let it ruin my night by making myself feel out of control, fat, and ugly. I turn that negative energy into positive energy and find something productive to do. I know I am rambling but I hope that some or any of this helps someone else in this journey. Like I said before.. I joined SparkPeople and that was a major stepping stone for me because they have “groups” and I’m in the “emotional eaters” group and you can chat w/ other people so you are not alone. YOU CAN DO IT :D

You deserve it! you all are beautiful and strong people! This IS something that you CAN take control of. You just have to believe in yourself ;)
