A Binge to End All Binges

A binge to end all binges...I hope. Since 8 am this morning, I have been eating anything and everything I could get my hands on...except my apple and salad that I'd taken to eat with lunch. After a breakup a couple years ago, I purposefully lost a few pounds, and was within about 10 lbs of the elusive pre-baby weight. And then I began to eat. And eat. And eat. I've downloaded podcasts, and self help books, and joined a gym. I play sleep hypnosis recordings over night, and downloaded all the tracking apps. I tried Weight Watchers, I tried Medifast, I tried Eating Mindfully. I've used Lose It, MyFitnessPal, and flirted with CarbManager. I've tried keto and Enginee 2. All of these work. But none of these will fix my brain. Despite asking myself "are you physically hungry or emotionally hungry" I eat all the things...usually after the kids are in bed. You, reader, are my accountability, and hopefully, one day, I will be an inspiration for a binge eater at there. My plan is to stop binging. Now. I quit smoking. I can quit this. I will eat about 1700 calories tomorrow, and those calories will come from grains, and protein, and plants. I'll aim for about 400 calories a meal. I will drink 20 ounces of water before getting a second cup of coffee. I will drink 8 ounces of water before I eat anything. I will put my fork and my phone down while I chew. I will eat breakfast before I leave in the morning, not in the car or at my desk. I will set a better, thinner, stronger example for my 8 year old babies. Please, universe, take control of this.
