BINGING OUT OF CONTROL




Is the last thing you remembered before things got totally out of control was binging because you were stressed out and needed some comfort?

Binging can have many twist and turns to it...Some can be associated with obesity and the other anorexic tendencies...Both pose dangerous health issues to a person....

With anything we do in life, it's that first CHOICE that sets in motion how we approach whatever. In the confinements of food, we choose what we put into our mouths...It is a conscious effort on our part to do what we do.

If you are discipline to stick to a specific eating regimen for weeks at a time without crashing, EXCELLENT....However, if you are one of those, "Like Me" who may want an occasional Snickers Bar, I say have a miniature one to satisfy that sweet tooth....

I know some of you might be saying, "What kinda advise is that for a Sports Nutritionist to give?" It is more advantageous of you to meet the need, then to binge in GREED.... I give myself one day a week to have a cookie or some Sherbet in moderation. I don't consume an entire row of cookies or nurse down a tub of Sherbet like I once did while in depression....

I now eat to LIVE, not LIVE to eat...there is a big difference...I still have to watch what I put into my mouth....a moment of uncontrolled emotional eating can throw me back into a bad way...I don't want to go backward, I put to much hard work into me, to just throw caution into the wind because I'm small again....Please don't be fooled by the fact that you can eat what you want once you loose the weight......I'm telling you, it's a trap and it will sabotage every bit of hard work you've put into getting the weight off.....

Once you have reached your point of discuss, you never forget what it felt like to walk around trying to deal with YOU and those HIDDEN EMOTIONS....Some of us give up right there, but I'm here to tell you... As long as you have breath in your body...YOU ARE WORTH FIGHTING FOR! You matter, you are a person of significance and there is still a lot of life left for you to apprehend...

Age doesn't matter. Time doesn't matter. A hectic schedule doesn't matter. Lack of encouragement doesn't matter. Limited energy doesn't matter. Financial limitations doesn't matter. Lack of transportation doesn't matter.... YOU MATTER! Whatever it takes to get you motivated, God has it out there. He's not limited to a gym, a class or a fee....He will bring it to you....Make away out of know way....Open your eyes to the possibilities all around you...ask people in your community what are they doing to get fit....Your blessing might be right next door.

I embarked upon a new thing "AEROBICS" a hundred pounds ago...it's brought me to a place I would have never imagined I would be....When you give serious time and attention to any area of your life...much sooner than later your hard work will show up all over you....

Your before pictures are just that BEFORE... But your now pictures are the evidence of a successful journey that has led you to this place of sure fire RADIANCE & BEAUTY!

Disrobe from all the negative comments & gestures people have stereotyped you with over the years. Let the bells and whistles of mockery, insults, lack of love and low self esteem found in the hem of this robe fall to the ground where dirt belongs. Now embrace the true you that has been draped inside this heavy weight called flesh all along......

The only time beauty can be admired is when you decide not to hide it, but LET IT SHINE!
