Keeping it under control!

So today I am trying to keep it all together! Yesterday I did end up having a small binge episode -cheerios and applesauce- however it was nothing like my usual all out junk food binge. Unlike yesterday, today I didn't really plan my meals for the day so I am kinda figuring things out as I go along...on top of that I am going out to the races tonight so I know there will be lots of options for snacking!!! I plan to allow myself one treat at the races but that's it. I really need to sit down and make a grocery list and plan some meals and snacks so I can have healthy alternatives ready and waiting for me!!

In the beginning!

Well here it goes!! Welcome to "Beyond Overeating" and thus confessions of an overeater!!! The decision to start this blog has been one that I have been thinking about for some time now, I've been considering my continuous struggle with overeating and all the aspects that are embodied with the struggle...Everything from the emotional distress to the physical infliction that overeating causes. Trying to overcome this struggle on my own has been an exhaustive one. I find I am forever in my own head just trying to figure out a way to move on. This entails the "tomorrow I will..." attitude. Tomorrow I won't eat this, tomorrow I will do this instead, tomorrow I vow too.....except tomorrow is forever a disappointment because I don't have an outlet to share my thoughts and feelings of what is happening on in the inside that is causing me to seek relief through food. That is where I am hoping this blog is going to come in handy....Because I am a stay at home mom for the time being I always have access to the internet therefore I will never really be that far from my "blogger ear" to listen to me!! I hope that any of you that read this will share you experience with binge eating....we really need to come together and help one another rise above this disorder and reclaim a new and beautiful life where we can be our best selves!!!! Many Blessings to all! =)
