Hey---please reply and be helpful! Even if you think your response is silly, obvious, or otherwise, please please respond! I need some feedback of ANY sort!
I have successfully stopped bingeing, and that was quite awhile ago, even over a year. Perhaps that is the secret to success? Just stop thinking about it and dwelling on it? I have no idea how I got over it, i suppose i just got too busy with other things. Wow, I just realized that. I knew it went away, but I don't even know how *epiphany*.
Anyhow, my problem now is WHAT i eat. I can eat healthy stuff (plenty of fruits and veggies), I can workout everyday (granted I get enough sleep the night before, otherwise i am useless!), but...I CAN'T STOP EATING JUNK! Particularly, I am talking about sugary, fatty, chocolatey foods! I eat sooo much sugar! I know these foods are fine every now and then (whatever that means, right?!?!) but I eat them several times a day! And I'm not just talking about a hersey kiss or something. I'm talking about cookies, candy bars, hot chocolate, sugary drinks, etc. I have the sweet tooth from hell! Especially when I'm tired, these are the first things I reach for! I drink plenty of water, etc. etc. basically I lead a generally healthy lifestyle otherwise. Lack of sleep and overconsumption of sweets are my greatest weaknesses. What can I do? I was thinking of taking a "detox" so to speak, basically I would go a week or two without these junk foods i normally eat, however, I am afraid that will send me on a binge, make me obsess, set me up for larger problems, etc. etc. What do you all reccomend? The two week thing has not worked. So i thought, well, Ill try going one week. didnt work. Then i thought about three days. didn't work. then i thought just eating something sweet/junky once a day. didn't work.
What should i try?
(I know, good old fashioned discipline.)
ANY Ideas? Sometimes it helps when someone else tells us to do something, adds permanence, etc.
(P.S. I want to lose a few pounds because of an incident that happened today. Long story short, someone asked me if I needed a larger size (i was wanting to exchange something for a smaller size, so in essence they implied that i appear two sizes larger than what i actually wear!) I am not overweight by any means. Sometimes i eat the sweets because they will make me chubbyier, fatter. Sometimes it seems worth it if there is any chance of it making my breasts larger. you see, i've got an a $ $ the size of house, and mosquito bites for breasts. i dont want huge ones, but geez, at least a handful would be nice. something that looks a little more proportionate with my larger than average hips and butt. i love my butt, wouldn't shrink it for the world, but having a flat chest makes me feel unsexy, unfeminine, etc. i have had a larger chest in the past when i was heavier and taking particular birth control pills, and i loved the way it felt, the way my clothes looked, the way i carried myself, etc. but now...anyways just venting i needed it bad please help!
sorry so long!
