Day 5 - FRIDAY BINGE!

So, it's Friday night, and I'm getting ready to go to bed - as in, my daily consumption of food is over. I am aware that my title is provocative - binge eating, I know, is not healthy eating, but Friday is (or rather, was - because it's technically Saturday morning now since I'm up so late) my special treat day where I got to eat sugary, starchy unhealthy products!

Today's special treat was something my friend made for a few of us girls for our traditional Friday night girl's night! Oh yes, it's sacred, it's special, it's fun, it's girls watching movies together and eating junk food till the crack of dawn...Not really. I mean, we did order pizza, and there were soft drinks and tons of bags of chips everywhere as well as cookies and dessert, but I mean, while I love pizza, and I enjoy watching TV for a time, I honestly don't like how I usually feel the next day from the combination of lack of sleep and unhealthy food. And thankfully, that dislike has always been a sort of help to me even before I started this new life change in my diet, in that, while I like doing those things, I like feeling healthy the next day just a little bit more...heh, most of the time!

So, in regard to the food, surprisingly, although I ate more than I originally wanted to - I told myself that I could only have one sugary treat and a half a cup of ice-cream. But sadly, a few hours before the girls came over, I ended up eating three chocolate chip cookies! bummer. However, I did not feel as though I were completely out of control - the essence of binge eating - so that's good. Hm...therefore, I will consider this Friday night a moderate success, because I know in the past I have eaten WAY more than that on Friday nights. But I plan on being a little more disciplined for this next Friday night. I am resolved to sticking to the Only-One-Sugary-Treat-Tonight rule...I think I'm going to remind myself, via this blog, of this resolution everyday starting Tuesday so that I hold to it come Friday!
