Starting Again (not tomorrow, or next week)

Tired of "this is the last ___" binges and ready to be back on track NOW.

I never felt better in my life than when I did my Whole30 (primal) and when I was in Crossfit. I can't afford Crossfit anymore but there are lots of workouts (sans lifting) I can do at home.

Looking for some people who "get" the cycle and who I can be accountable to.

    Oh my gosh your post hit a chord with me! I am an awful binger, especially in the winter. I was sick in October and lost ten pounds- when I got over the illness I was psyched- I looked and felt great and was gung ho to lose another ten or twenty. Then Christmas and winter held my will power hostage. I not only put back on the ten I lost, I put on more and feel so fat and flubbery right now. Please add me as a friend so we can put the brakes on the cycle and get back on track again!

    Yep, in the same boat. Doing my best to avoid that "just this last time and at midnight I'll start again" dieter's mentality. Aiming to always just do the best I can, but the last month and a half has been something interesting. So I'm also in the [process of getting back into that "eat to live don't live to eat" mindset. Looking for long term changes for sure!

  • Good luck. I've had a huge problem with saying, "oh I'll just start tomorrow, New Years, next week, next month" and I'm so ready for that to change. I added you so let's do this together!
