Week 38, It's Ugly!

"Hello, my name is Darcy and I'm addicted to food!" I've finally decided that I am addicted to food.  A holiday that's total focus is cooking and eating too much food.  A food addicts worst nightmare and it comes around every year.  Well, all I can say is I lost the battle on Thursday and having a weigh in on Friday was down right awful.  New number is 167.9 and that my friends is a 7.7 pound gain.  The meeting was brief, not many clients choose to go in on Friday.  I can't say that I blame them.  I got another week of food and pledged to run at least a mile every day plus my two core workouts.  If you are a drinker, you stay away from alcohol, if you bet, you stay away from the casinos, but if you eat, you can't stay away from food.  How does the food addict find some measure of control?  How do you eat what is needed to keep you living and not over do it?  I guess that would be the answer I am seeking this week.  So that was my weigh in, I sure hope I can get myself under some sort of control.  I did get my runs and core exercises in for last week, but it was a struggle to get them.  Let's just say I did what I had to, so I could say I didn't quit.  I join a challenge on Runner's World to run at least one mile every day until the new year.  I added that to this weeks pledge with JC and so far I have made my runs.  Yes, even on Thanksgiving day.  I can tell you that running with food in your belly is totally icky!  So that's it for this week, I'm ever hopeful that next week will be better!  Until next week, keep moving everyone ~ Darcy
