Binge eating after the show….
Wow…I think I finally recovered from the show. The after eating is the worst! You eat everything you want to eat that you’ve been so deprived of over the past few months…..and then you blow up like a blow fish! Sunday morning I just wanted to have cereal with milk. It’s been months since I’ve had milk. We went to Chilli’s for lunch and I had mini cheeseburgers and I just kept eating them. I was almost able to finish all of the them but seriously I was full after 2. I was so full that I couldn’t even drink water and I was so thirsty because of the amount of sodium in the food. I couldn’t eat dinner and then I really, really wanted a cinnamon chip scone from Starbucks so I had one around 8:00. Well, when it was ready for bed I took my socks off and my feel looked like pillsbury dough boy feet! OMG I freaked out!!! I weighed myself and I had gained 4 1/2 lbs since morning!
So right back on the diet Monday morning but ended up eating some munchies last night and felt like crap again! Today I swore no more! I can’t do this. I feel awful and tired and bloated. So I stuck with it today and went to do cardio at lunch. I feel sooooo much better now. I’m back on my bland diet but I get to have yogurt, fruit, a kashi bar, stuff like that. I enjoy eating that food because it makes me feel good. I don’t know how people can eat take-out, chips, cookies, just garbage all the time. They have no idea what it does to their body.
I’m not 100% yet but I’m sure by tomorrow I’ll be fine. I’m going to head back to the gym and start off slow. I’m not going to dive right into anything yet. I’m not going to start seriously training for my next show until after Christmas. Right now I’m going to stick with what I was doing before except focus on glutes and hams and maintain my upper body for now.
