I never thought, in a million years, that words from any book would ever help me to stop overeating or binge eating for good.  I wanted to believe they would and it never stopped me from buying them. I read many thousands of words telling me that I was an emotional eater, a stress eater, an addict, disordered and diseased. I read many more thousands of words telling me that I had deep seated issues and until I resolved them I would never stop eating too much. And I read even more thousands of words telling me to cut out flour, sugar, salt, potatoes, honey, red meat, beans, to count calories, to cut carbs, to calculate points, or to cut the fat. I was told moderation and lifestyle change more times than I care to say. Two words that I never truly got.

And then Beth came along and left this comment:

Hello! First time commenter!

I’m not sure if anyone has suggested this book, or if you have read it. Brain over Binge by Kathryn Hansen.

I’ve been a binge eater most of my adult life, and after reading this book, I stopped. I’m not sure how or why, but I did. Dieting and restricting causes bingeing, that I know.

Take care good luck to you in the new year!

I was intrigued and went over to Amazon to read the reviews. Within five minutes I was already into the first chapter on my Kindle. I couldn’t wait to buy the book, the reviews peeked my interest and I was ready to dive in. The words used to describe the book mention bulimia, which I do not relate to in any sort of way. So I want to say first, that if you have struggled with any form of eating to the excess, please consider reading this book. Whatever you call it, overeating, binge eating, bulimia, etc., if you suffer for the urge to eat beyond being full, if you’ve had moments of autopilot eating, if yeou’ve eaten on numerous occasions to the point of being uncomfortably or painfully full, if you have moments of being able to consume large amounts of food- this book is for you.

Every journey is personal and individual, binge eating is not black and white. As I read Kathryn’s words, a women who has never been obese or even overweight I can honestly say I’ve never eaten to the excess that she describes in Brain Over Binge. I’ve also never exercised for hours on end to burn the calories I’ve consumed. This is her form of purging and why she calls herself bulimic.

But I am obese, and it’s not because of moderate or “normal” eating. It never has been. I’ve been thinking about my weight since I was eight years old and dieting for so long  that I’ve never really known what normal eating looks or feels like. I’ve never known what it wa

I’ve had glimmers of hope, mainly with intuitive eating, but my urges to eat more always took over. I’ve been saying tomorrow I’ll be better for so long, it’s become my default response when things became too much.

Since reading Brain Over Binge, I’ve debated how I’d approach presenting this information on my blog. And after much debate I decided that I could only best explain how I’ve changed as a result. The book is too in depth and I fear I would do Kathryn and her research much disservice to explain it in any other way. You can read more about her and purchase the book on her website here: Brain Over Binge.

I would love to discuss this book more in depth with those that have read the book or plan to read the book and would like to open my comments up for that.

I was in no way compensated for my opinion. I’ve linked directly to Kathryn’s site, not Amazon, for those interested in purchasing it. 

Thursday morning after reading the first few pages of Brain Over Binge I decided that I wanted to eat a biscuit while reading the book. I rarely eat fast food biscuits, but this morning all I wanted to do was eat while reading a book about eating. I can’t make this stuff up.

Normally, a day that starts with a 900 calories biscuit meal doesn’t end well. Because I wasn’t “perfect” at breakfast I would normally use that as an excuse to eat what I wanted for the rest of the day and start over tomorrow.

But something changed in those next three hours. I learned that I am not all of the horrible things I always believed I was because of my binge eating. I learned that I am not an emotional eater or addicted to sugar like I always thought. I learned that when I changed my career, hair, or bought something new, I was trying to change my life. I was trying to fulfill and fill ever corner of my life with events and stuff in a desperate attempt to recover.

I believed that somehow, changing any part of my life would make me complete so that I could stop overeating once and for all. I’ve searched in vain for over ten years for ways to make me whole. To fix me. To dull the desire to keep eating. I believed that I just hadn’t found the right program to tell me how to be better. The right experience, job, relationship, or outfit. I believed that I had to turn my life upside down to make real changes. That I’d have to give up ever food that I ever binged to be better, to stop slowly killing myself and to gain control once and for all. On some level, I already knew all of this, I just couldn’t believe it was that easy.

After those three hours of reading I said to Josh “I finally get it”. And then I started to sob, mostly because I felt like three thousand pounds had been lifted from my shoulders. All I could say was “There’s nothing wrong with me! Why didn’t anyone ever tell me?! I’m not crazy, lazy, stupid, diseased or suffering.”.

And Thursday, for the first time in my life I learned how to almost effortlessly calm myself and take control. In just a few hours my day had turned around. It wasn’t perfect, I hadn’t solved my life’s problems- I just ate and moved on and I felt normal. Instead of stuffing or fighting my urges to eat, I just sat with them and reminded myself that those thoughts are not me. I am not every thought or urge that I have.

Friday I played with fire. I made cookies. I ate two and put the rest away. And these weren’t just any cookie, I declared them my favorite cookie. They were amazing. I made a lovely dinner or salad and lentil soup. Nourishing and healthful food that I truly craved and then had two cookies and moved on. Even as I type this, there are a bowl of cookies on the counter and that all too familiar voice to eat all of them and start over tomorrow, is dull. It’s almost nonexistent. And for that, I am grateful.

I realize that this post is full of hyperbole, as is my fashion when I get excited about something, but I can honestly say to you that I will never binge again. I will never hide or sneak food. Eat in the car or give myself the promises of tomorrow. And as they say, the proof is in the pudding, I so look forward to sharing this journey with you.

Exercising and Anti Aging are totally related. One thing everyone has in common is that everyone grows older. There is no way around it, given current technology; the body will age. Naturally, the majority of people would prefer to slow down the process. Who wouldn’t want to look younger than their age? So let’s look to lifestyle choices, specifically exercise and anti-aging.

Exercising and Anti Aging

Exercising and Anti Aging

Some form of exercise can be done by just about everyone and it has huge potential to help with anti-aging. Exercise may help by strengthening your muscles and allowing you more flexibility, which can mean a better quality of life. Exercise can also help keep additional weight off that would otherwise put a lot of stress on joints and organs. Additionally, exercise might have another benefit by giving you a healthy outlet from stress in your life.

It is important to consult your physician first before starting an exercise program. Ask the doctor all the questions you may have regarding what kind of exercise you can safely do and what is recommended. Also have your doctor’s office perform any tests first, depending on your age, which might include a stress EKG.

As you start an exercise program, there are a few things to keep in mind.

1. Start slowly. Nothing kills your desire to exercise like going full-out on the first day and winding up so sore you can hardly get out of bed the next. Moderation is key.

2. Keep it regular. To have lasting benefits, you should ideally do some form of exercise every week for… ever. If that sounds intimidating, just take it week by week until it’s a regular part of your life. Sometimes you need to remind yourself why you’re doing it and other times you’ll want to do it because it feels so good.

3. Make it interesting. There is no “should” do this or that. If you are getting some cardiovascular or muscle strengthening benefit from your workout, then do it. If you find doing the same thing day in and day out is boring, then change it up. Walk, ride a bike, lift some weights, use a rowing machine, try hot yoga, do kick-boxing, or whatever sounds interesting to you.

Exercise can be a huge anti-aging weapon as your workouts can help with your weight, your feeling of well-being, your muscle tone and your flexibility. The good news is you can tailor your routine to fit you and your particular lifestyle. So consult your physician, put aside excuses, and get moving.

There are real direct links between exercising and anti aging so try and get more exercise starting today.

Fast fitness success may seem difficult for many but really it is something that you can achieve with planning and a set of goals. Losing weight and staying fit might seem like it is an uphill battle at times. The process does take a lot of patience and hard work, but many people get frustrated or lose sight of their goals only after a few short months. While being physically fit definitely takes effort, there are some things you should remember in order to stay successful in your fitness journey.

Keep these three simple fast fitness success tips in mind when you embark on the path towards a healthier you, and you should be successful in due time.

Tips for Fast Fitness Success

Fast Fitness Success

You have to change your lifestyle. Being fit does not just mean you can walk a great distance for a long period of time, or that you are not sick. True physical fitness requires an actual lifestyle change. Quitting smoking and the consumption of alcohol (except in moderation) as well as eating a healthier diet and getting proper exercise all require a change in the way you live your life.

To achieve fast fitness success you have to make changes, and quickly. You can make these lifestyle changes quickly by slowly incorporating new healthier meals in your routine once a week, as well as adding exercise and changing your lifestyle. Then slowly adding a few better meals a week in until they replace all meals. The same goes with exercise: start walking a few days a week for a short distance, and then increase the length of the walks as well as the frequency. Eventually you’ll be able to incorporate tougher, more rigorous exercises.

Invest in some fitness equipment, or use it at the local gym. Whether you decide to buy a piece or two of good exercise equipment or just go to the gym, using this equipment will make your workouts easier and more effective towards your fast fitness success. Utilize the machines available to you and work them to your advantage.

It’s much more fun to work out with some fitness tools to help you out along the way, and they can help to spot tone or work on certain problem areas, depending what they are what the machine does.

Utilize a fitness trainer to help you along the way. Certified fitness trainers are another great tool that can help you to get fit. They are able to show you how to get the most out of a work out, assist you with tracking your success, and guide you to doing things the safe way so you minimize risk of personal injury.
You can hire a personal trainer if you have the money, but most local gyms offer the help of their trainers as part of the overall membership plan. This combined with a new, healthy lifestyle change and good fitness equipment should guarantee your fast fitness success when it comes to getting fit.

I’m slowly getting back in the groove of counting calories and I have to say that showcasing what I eat here is challenging me to make better decisions. You guys have been known to keep me on my toes with comments, so for the “eat more vegetables” reminders, I find myself throwing a salad on my plate where I otherwise would have went without.

I’m also drinking a lot of water. I find that I just don’t drink enough through the day and while water, juice and milk are the only beverages I consume on a regular basis, I’m just not drinking enough. I’ve got water bottles filled and in the refrigerator for easy access.

I’ve been thinking today about what my story will be at the end of this year. What I want it to be. Come January first I want to reflect on 2011 and be proud of the first three months of consistent exercise. That I stuck with it even when the scale was slow to move. How I believed in myself despite people asking “are you sticking with your exercise?” assuming I had stopped. A valid question giving my past history. I will talk about how in April I started to take my eating seriously with calorie counting, and how the hard part was doing it even on days when I really didn’t want to.

I will talk about how the scale started to move and I was seeing my weight go down each week. Every month my clothes were getting looser. By early Fall I had to buy new pants and by winter I was down two sizes. My face is slimmer and people are noticing. They will wonder how I did it- there won’t be a gimmick, no pills, not diet fad of the week and no restrictive plans. Just me believing in myself.

I will talk about how I feared not losing the weight- would I not lose weight even if I tried? I believed in myself and tried anyway. I will talk about how I learned to eat in moderation. How I found other ways to fill myself up.

I don’t know what my weight will be come January 2012, but I truly believe it will be significantly lower than it is today. On top of that I will feel the joys of being able to move a little easier and feel much more comfortable in my body.

What will your story be?

Healthy Foods for Quick Weight Loss

Healthy Foods for Quick Weight Loss are very important for anyone trying lose weight. A lot of people focus on what they cannot have while they are on a diet. This is a very negative way to view dieting and weight loss. Instead, take a look at what you should be eating while you are on a diet and you just might find it changes your whole outlook on the weight loss program.

Healthy Foods for Quick Weight Loss

Portioned controlled healthy foods for quick weight loss. Remember to eat all of these in moderation and some of them maybe all daily.

Whole Grained Breads- These foods will make you feel fuller and they are full of fiber. This means that they digest slowly and help you to maintain a stable blood sugar level.

Oatmeal- This breakfast food should be the rolled oats kind, rather than the instant oatmeal. This is a whole grain food that is low in sugar, high in fiber and high in protein. It will make you feel fuller longer.

White Meat- White meat is generally considered the breast meat of a bird. This meat is leaner and often favored for cooking anyway. Enjoy this healthy meat, but be sure to eat it without the skin.

Lean Beef- No one can blame you for eating beef. By eating lean beef and then draining any fat that comes off of it, you can save yourself some cholesterol and fat, keeping this meal healthy.

Fresh Fruit- Fresh food is significantly better for you than canned or frozen food because it is fresh and unaltered. Enjoy fresh fruit whenever you feel a craving for something sweet.

Canned Fruit- This can be good for you if it is canned in unsweetened juice or if it is canned in water. However, this fruit has been cooked; therefore some of the vitamins might not be as prevalent.

Frozen Fruit- This is the second best way to enjoy fruit. Use these frozen fruits when making protein shakes or other frozen treats. These are also great on hot days for cooling off and enjoying a sweet.

Fresh Vegetables- Fresh vegetables are ideal because they have a lot of protein, very little sugar, and a lot of fiber. Feel free to enjoy these at every meal.

Olive Oil- While oils are fats, this fat can actually help you to lose weight and look better. Olive oil is high in vitamin E, therefore it can keep your skin soft and your hair manageable.

Skim Milk- This fat free milk has all of the vitamins and minerals that whole milk has but without the fat. This beverage can take time to get used to, but one you have gone skim, you never go fat again.

Enjoy these foods, and you can soon find yourself in the best swimsuit shape you have ever been in. It is important to remember that even though these are healthy foods, they should not be eaten in excess. Always practice portion control to lose weight. Eat all the above foods in moderation and always remember these Healthy Foods for Quick Weight Loss

I faced the hump for the past 20 years something of my life. In college and high school children around me were particularly cruel as they called me names that I prefer to forget. I have always lived a normal life, laughing It Off or telling rude remarks about myself as well which kind of mechanism has become my fight, but the words still hurt to this day.
  And it's not like I've never tried to make me lose weight. I read a review idiot proof diet after another review idiot proof diet, in the hope of any products mentioned could let me know that the system idiot proof as I expected. I tried low calorie diets, diets low in carbohydrates, diets low in fat, diet after 6, the scheme Herbalife, Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers. All these seemed to get me to lose like a pound or two, after a week of grueling sacrifices food but I can not stick. The diet low in calories and low in fat, I felt weak, I had to miss a day of work, diet low in carbohydrates made me miss the bread so I was already dreaming about it and the others were just so darn expensive to continue. So I had to stop.
  Then, as I was doing my weekly review idiot proof diet, I finally read an article about fat loss 4 Idiots. The article was a man who tried it and it changed his life so that I thought I better check the website of the so-called idiot proof system and see for myself if it ' is really for my money.
  The website itself was fun to see and all the facts I'm interested. Thus, feeling excited and a little nervous because I am embarking on another diet plan, I purchased the fat loss 4 idiots access.
  Basically, how the plan works is that I get to eat 4 times a day, eating food I like and after 11 days, I get a "break" in the plan and I am authorized to eat whatever the hell I want (understandable in moderation of course). Certainly a system idiot proof, right?
  It may not sound like a desire to lose weight but how the plan works, it "shocks" your body by eating beyond the usual activities at intervals of 2 and a half hours drive from the other, so that your body will burn calories faster than it did before.
  And the results? Absolutely, totally FANTASTIC! I'm afraid it seems to be overselling the product, but after 2 months in the plan, I lost 30 pounds, I had to do an overhaul of my wardrobe and I believe continue to flow the bulge.
  I suppose the secret why this idiot proof system works is the third day "free to eat this" day you can have some fun guilt free, then return to your diet the next few days after.
