Oh, memories... ;-) ...I do remember your WW blog! Oh, memories... ;-) Yes, overeating makes me feel like crap afterwards, too, and I'm hoping that eventually I will feel about overeating how I feel about getting drunk - something that is fun to do occasionally but not worth doing all the time because of the consequences. Great analogy, Marie! I may have to use it in a blog post...

Mostly when I overeat now, I just feel like "UGH!! Why did I do that? I feel like crap!" Kind of like how you feel after a night of heavy drinking. LOL!! <br /><br />And if you remember my WW blog, you'll know that I rarely track on weekends and I never feel guilty about that. :P Not feeling guilty about food and exercise gives you the ability to enjoy life more because you aren't constantly worrying about what you're eating or how much you need to exercise to make up for what you ate.

I struggle with guilt as well, but I've really working on it. Yes, today I had a McDonald's McFlurry, but that's okay! Will I have one tomorrow? No, so I refuse to feel guilty about having it every once in awhile. <br /><br />You can do it. I'm sure you can get over this hurdle, after that skies the limits.

At least that's how I felt about my mom. (((hugs))) to you. And I agree about one day at a time.Leah: Not Otherwise Specifiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00592428048419117998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6496409005190345211.post-4175549609710498432013-06-27T15:04:51.545-07:002013-06-27T15:04:51.545-07:00As a mom, I think "I need to lose the weight ...As a mom, I think "I need to lose the weight for my kids" but then I think I'm a horrible person for having a 3 year old and currently weighing what I did when I had my first kid. Then I eat. Then I feel guilty. Then I eat again. It's horrible!! I wish I could end the guilt but I don't know how to- other than just trying one day at a time. :( Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618531312766704514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6496409005190345211.post-56091160256535902302013-06-27T14:30:28.356-07:002013-06-27T14:30:28.356-07:00Great thoughts here!

And without the guilt, I may even still go to the gym after a binge, because I'm not "giving up" because I've "already blown it". Thanks for the comment, you are so right!Leah: Not Otherwise Specifiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00592428048419117998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6496409005190345211.post-29487297226690402492013-06-27T14:30:02.443-07:002013-06-27T14:30:02.443-07:00Oh, same with exercise.

I still kinda hate strength training, but I think a little bit of it is good for runners, so I try to do it sometimes (and there might be a little guilt when I don't). But running is another story. I sometimes feel bummed when I can't do it but not guilty. And I never think about burning calories - it doesn't even register anymore. Seriously, if my body suddenly decided it wasn't going to burn any calories from running AT ALL anymore, I am pretty sure I'd still want to do it. And best of all, when I feel a possible injury coming on (I've had recurring ones here and there), I don't FREAK OUT and start frantically worrying about my next scheduled run and use it as an excuse to binge, like I used to. :) Thanks for another great blog post. Btw, I found your page from Kate's "This is not a diet" page, and I am super excited to find someone else who's ready to declare diets and weight loss as yesterday's news. :)Asia K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15943168324037082966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6496409005190345211.post-1149775313368616212013-06-27T14:24:48.947-07:002013-06-27T14:24:48.947-07:00Oh, I think this is huge ...

There might be an initial seed of guilt, but I nip it in the bud right away and replace it with positive (realistic) thoughts. I start to think about how great it feels to NOT put myself down and feel guilty, and then I become really, really happy. And then there are no thoughts of wanting to binge later, no thoughts of "I might as well go crazy because I've already blown it." It's almost kind of euphoric to have that realization that I don't have to feel that way anymore. :)Asia K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15943168324037082966noreply@blogger.com
