A New Chapter

Hi Friends.  Nice to see you on the other side of the competition.  I promised a big fat reflective post yesterday, but I never got around to i tand for that I am sorry.

So I wanted to say I surprised my self to no end to be able to keep that up for 6 weeks.  Those who are close to me know I've struggled for most of my life with disordered eating.  I'm usually quite good at planning healthy meals but I often throw myself off by bingeing in the afternoons and evenings when my guard is down.  It's only been in the last year that I have really been able to talk about this with anyone.

For me to be able to go 6 weeks without a single episode blows my mind really.  It just proved to me that I can do this and showed to me how good I can feel.  I really think I have made a lifestyle change by sticking to a plan like this for 6 weeks.

This blog and being able to talk about my progress really helped.  It provided an outlet as well as an accountability.  I am going to continue to write about my journey because it helps me so much to have all of this support.

That being said, I am on my 2nd cheat day in a row!  Even though I felt like crap when I woke up and working out at the gym this morning, I just couldn't resist the few treats that were sticking around this morning left over from yesterday.  After today I am going to accept these past 2 days and move on.  I have a plan that I will post as I go.

So, the title of my blog really doesn't work to well anymore...any votes for a new title??  Keep the comments coming because I really appreciate the support!

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

Happy cheat day number 2 two ;)!
