I'm doing 35 things
I don’t know why, but for some reason while I’ve been trying to focus on overall health and trying to get fit, however I have seemed to have neglected the fact that I struggle almost daily with binge eating. Why do I have trouble controlling my weight? Well, the answer is binge eating of course. Why do I not exercise sometimes when I know I should, because I choose to sit at home get lonely and start a binge. It’s aweful whenever life doesn’t go the way I want it too, I get stressed, anxious, and I start binging.
It’s great to know that other people struggle with the same problem as myself, because sometimes I feel so alone and ashamed about this part of myself. I want to change it, I want to be in control of what I eat. I want to overcome this challenge in my life. I also plan on recording all binges, and celebrating healthy binge free days!

How I did it: I you'st to run fairly regularly a few years ago, running 20-30km a week. When I started college I got super stressed and for some reason I completely stopped running. Since then I have gained a lot of weight, and I was kind of scared to start running again. I guess because of crappy cardiovascular condition, and I'm a little worried about the stress on my joints since I am so overweight.So after working out regularly fo… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Well, I ate in moderation, and was a little more careful with my food choices. As for exercise I did what I've already been doing which is fairly active, hiking, gym, walking. Read how I did it…
Yesterday I was talking to a couple of different people about if you had to go back to a year of your life when it would be. Immediately I said 21, but there was a guy that said he wouldn’t want to. Wouldn’t even want to consider it, that life just keeps getter better, and he has a lot of look forward to so why would he want to go back.
I think the other thing is that I think about the future to much, what will happen, what might not happen. Wishing for school to be done, which is basically wishing away the next couple of years of my life.
Well I have lost a little bit more weight, but I have been finding it very difficult since school has started again. I always seem to have trouble balancing it all, school, work, life, while trying to fit in exercise and a healthy diet. I still remind myself that my health is a priority, if I don’t have my health I don’t have anything.
