ooohhh....It has been awful. My diet is somewhat out of control.We have been very busy and then silly occasions keep popping up.
Yesterday my boyfriend and I went fliering.
I asked him could we please go to "Auntie Changs" for healthy yummy vegetarian Chinese food and steamed dumplings.
My request was unheeded.
Along the way he bought a bag of "munchies" which is a bunch of different snacks tossed together in the same bag. I
Ate some and have a tendancy not to stop eating salty-cheesy things when they are in front of me...He said it was just a little snack to tie us over for dinner. I called it a toxic bag of death. And complained about it several times although i polished off a good portion of the bag (which is my way)..and I guess I was hungry..
So we flier all day in the hot and stuffy car..which makes me very cranky..and then dinner time rolls around..We contemplate having Sushi, but all of our favorite resturaunts are packed...
Then we pass this one particular Mexican resturaunt that has a few healthy options and a nice vegetarian menu....but it is still a Mexican resturaunt...
It happens to be karaoke night, so we sit in the smoking section near the karaoke stage..i sign up..the whole place is packed with bloated drunk yuppies...Tequila shots and pitchers of bud light are flowing like water..
we have our first Margarita....that ends up being 3 a piece..I could barely finish my third one.
My (looked pretty healthy on the menu) entree was smothered in cheese...
I sang 3 cheesy songs from the 80's
I felt like living death afterwards.
Give Flakey a stern lecture on how we need to take better care of our health...he brings up that i agreed to eat at El Mexican Resturaunt..he is right..I shouold have protested and steered us in direction of vegetarian chinese food..of course it is too late.
THEN much later...we decide to go to the open mic night at a local place called Helios. My sister is there and is drunk and insists on buying me several beers..I try to say no and mention the three margarita dinner...but end up succumbing.
we are on a roll...Flakey hands me shots called "Brain Destroyers"..i finish one beer..my sister hands me another..
I do my dumb litle set.. I really need to learn more acoustic songs.
By the end of this phase..i am feeling too bogged down to really feel drunk..But Flakey..who I guess has a higher metabolism than I do..is feeling quite intoxicated.
He insists we go out for pizza...I say...do you wan't me to weigh 500 lbs?
He says..."You don't have to eat the pizza"
So we go to "Late Night Dive' home of good pizza and bad service. We are the only people in the whole place not wearing black...Flakey orders a large Veggie...So there is this giant beautiful pizza covered in fresh tomatoes and mushrooms and olives and bell peppers...so OF COURSE I eat a piece...one piece is huge...The place cuts all their pizzas into 6 slices..regardless of the size of the pizza..
bah...
Later my Flakey has the gall to suggest maybe we could go to Denny's for strawberry shortcake..we did not go...
So now I don't have a hangover but my intestines feel like a brick of cheese...
I don't want to eat again for a while unless I really have to.
I bloody want to swear off cheese for the rest of the year..
uuugh...
So...what do you folks do afer such a binge

Re: What to do after a binge?
Fri, June 3, 2005 - 11:45 PMoh god...rock gut!
when i get like this i have found not eating bready stuff and making myself chug water is NEEDED.
and what i have for meals is brown rice and mixed veggies.
its easy to make...i cook the rice and throw in the veggies from the bag of frozen mixed veggies as its cooking. i eat that and it seems to push out the toxic plug. haa haa
i kinda have to force myself to eat the rice because this rock gut feeling makes me feel so sick and fat....i imagine i look like a bloated baby pig or something. -

Re: What to do after a binge?
Sat, June 4, 2005 - 10:46 AMI did substantially better yeaterday. no drinks..ate giant salad and papaya smoothie..feel more-or-less back to normal..hopefully Thursday's binge helped put things into perspective so I can control my eating habits a little better for a while. Will try to give up wheat and cheese for the week.
Or at least eat them minimally.

Re: What to do after a binge?
Thu, September 22, 2005 - 8:30 PMtons of water helps, and fruit juices and coffee are good at cleaning out your system generally. Most importantly, don't deprive your body of healthy foods the next day. Eat, just eat healthier and maybe a bit less. Hard to do, at least for me, but after I do that I feel better. Also be sure to praise yourself for the good choices you made and continue making. That is good for moving on and not getting stuck in the binge cycle. I know from experience! :)

Re: What to do after a binge?
Wed, September 21, 2005 - 11:40 AMwow honey, i can so relate. my man really digs "bad things" to eat. When i met him i was a vegan, now i'm so far from that it's not even funny. he weighs 137 and can eat 20 lbs of fat and not gain an ounce. I think about having a cookie and i gain a pound. So right now i'm so struggling because i am tired of feeling like crap all the time, so i am trying to fix things. -

Wed, September 21, 2005 - 6:07 PMas far as the papaya thing...it seemed like a good idea at the time. -

Re: What to do after a binge?
Thu, October 13, 2005 - 4:18 AMThe guy I speak of used to cook for me all the time...AND he drinks...we drank..mostly red wine and occasionally vodka.
I stopped being a vegetarian while I was dating him and gained about 40 lbs. For breakfast, it was always eggs with cheese and salsa with tortillas....For dinner he would make greasy chili and cheese dogs or decadent cheeseburgers..or steaks...and when we were not cooking at home it was always Mexican food and margaritas. We would also frequently pig out on Brie and crackers with big bottles of wine. We would each have our own Brie wedge.
He weighed between 130-140 lbs. I ended up weighing over 160...(and I am short)..also he didn't get much exercise and I rode my bike everywhere and was a member of a gym and stuff....crazy.. -
