restriction is the way to go

haha, i'm in somewhat of a good mood today, seeing as i lost another pound! but i still can't stop. in the past, when i used to be a binge eater, i would starve starve starve and restrict until i lost about 5 lbs and then i would feel like i needed to reward myself and i would eat one bowl of ice cream. but one became two and two became three. pretty soon, i was on an all out binge and the next day i pretty much gained it all back.

but not anymore. i am sober. i am clean. i have had tea, some mini orange slices, and a bite of cereal and hunger has still not set in. i'm not hungry yet, so that can sometimes throw me off a bit. but i think i can allow myself 100 more cals and then go to sleep. sleep is the best way to keep my mind off of food.

i've found that i'm really not up to fasting right now. i think i'll go for a little more restriction before i start a full on, hardcore fast. i am pretty good at liquid fasting though - because i usually drink about 160 oz of hot tea and the warm liquid going down my throat seems to fill me up faster (cal free, of course).

hahaha wow i'm in a good mood. and i'll be in an even better mood when i start feeling hungry :) because for every second i'm hungry, that's one less fraction of a pound not on my fat thighs anymore. happy fasting/restricting/dieting everyone!

also (random and has nothing to do with dieting)... i LOVE this giraffe-print tote from Dooney and Bourke. its even under $200 which is pretty good for such a large bag from Dooney. sorry to get off topic but how could i not say something about this amazing bag!? (promise-no more straying off topic!!)

P.S. Thanks once again to the new followers and your comments really do keep me going. i'm so glad i started this blog!
