"A place to get your head into gear?" I certainly hope so. I don't know what has happened to me. Honestly any advice would be appreciated.
2 years ago I decided I should lose some weight because I really wasn't eating well. I decided to take up running and eat approx 1200 calories a day. I'm a pretty determined person and I enjoy exercise so everything went pretty well. I didn't have too much to lose and lost half a stone in 2 weeks. Not satisfied I continued my regime which lasted... around 18 months.
18 months of calorie counting and running (both almost every day) probably demonstrates that determined streak inside me but I've crashed and burned.
I just couldn't do it anymore. Because I wasn't taking rest days I wasn't actually losing weight. I think my body must have had enough so just plateaued. Since about summer I have started binge eating and it truly is horrible. It got to the point of making myself feel ill although this past month it has been better but I just feel out of control.
I have put on weight but what worries me more is that I can't seem to stop this cycle. I've been injured too so exercising hasn't been happening either.
I will cancel plans or say I'm busy because I just don't like going out like this. Also I never make plans to go to restaurents etc. This sounds very unhealthy to me so I felt I would just write it all down and see if anyone has similar experiences or advice. I apologise for the rambling. If you got this far then thank you for even reading!
