Set Goals
Recently I have trained harder than I have ever trained before. I have finally fit into this gorgeous size 10 dress I bought at Christmas that I could NOT fit into before. I have trained every day sometimes twice. I train for a MINIMUM of 90 minutes. Why? Because you don’t start burning fat until 45 minutes has passed so I don’t even time my workout till that point. I have been getting up at 5 am to train and have even gone back to train at night. When I train I train HARD.

Celebration Hangover
Celebration Hangover
Read More
No I don’t mean the alcoholic one – I am talking about an entirely different type of hangover.
It happens slowly. You have a series of events to go to and at first you do all right. You maintain your weight loss focus, but then slowly one little treat turns to another, you indulge a little, then a little more and before you know it your common sense filter has switched off altogether.
This is not technically bingeing, however, it is a destructive pattern of behaviour which will lead to the horrible sludge of self hatred.

Flashback:
You are six years old and crying your eyes out. Nana pats you on the head and says, ‘there, there, don’t cry, why don’t you have a lolly or an ice cream?’ Or in my case both!
At that moment the damage was done. I became an emotional eater. Now I blame my mum’s mum for my big bum!
That may sound a little melodramatic, but think back to your childhood and you may discover it affects you more than you realise.

Bingeing: The Truth
According to my dictionary a binge is a period of excessive and unrestrained self indulgence in food or drink.

The key words here are: excessive and unrestrained.
There are no benefits to be gained from bingeing. I remember eating as much as I wanted of whatever I wanted meal after meal after meal after meal after meal. It never stopped and makes me sick to think about it now.
I had many different ways of bingeing – some were planned feasts full of excess and indulgence and others involved eating a surplus of whatever I wanted whenever I wanted it.
