Seeking Health Slowly
So I realized looking through my blogs and journals that I am more likely to binge when I don't work out. I am trying to stick to the exercise regimen my fitness councelor prescibed to me, which means limiting myself to four days per week. I have decided that I should have other planned activities that make me feel healthy on days that I do not work out. Wednesdays (today) I decided I would do a thirty mintue guided meditation from a CD along with 20 minutes of independent yoga. I just completed that, and I actually feel really good. On Friday, my next day off at the gym, I have planned some at-home spa time: I am going to take a bath in the jet tub with some candles and bath salts, maybe do my nails, toes or eyebrows, actually shave and moisturize for once... This sort of self-care always makes me feel well, but usually I am too lazy to do it, get bored or lonely on Friday afternoon and end up bingeing and feeling to fat and disgusting to go out. Perhaps if it is on a list I will actually follow through. I really am recovering, slowly but surely. I have limited bingeing to once or twice per week, but more importantly I have learned to use binges as learning experiences to further minimize symptoms in the future.
