I refuse to see myself as restarting this. I am simply picking my healthy habits back up.
I left for college this fall and the stress and fear of gaining scared me so much that i lost 10 pounds in the first few weeks. Dropping to 140 and at 5 foot 9 that was pretty low to not be carrying much muscle. I like how i looked at 140 though, that is a weight that id like to maintain at but id rather be more toned and healthy looking. I went through a week where i would spend a couple days binging and purging. I battled and won against bulimia a number of years ago. Once i got control of this i was now just binging but refusing to purge. A big deal for me. Now i have been faced with the fact that i have gained around 12 pounds and want to loose it again before going home for christmas. But i want to do it the healthy way
I am letting myself have today to mentally prepare for this battle of the cravings and start up tomorrow with half marathon training and weight lifting three days a week, two days as part of a boot camp class and one day on my own. I love running and love how it makes me feel. Being a college student food is always around me and makes it hard to fight the binge monster so any and all advice of any kind is amazing! Or add me as a friend!!!!!!!!! im on a lot during the day and love to support and be supported
