After you posted, I realized that I also struggle in July. Actually, most of the summer. It's strange because you'd thing summer would be such a happy, shiny time. I guess not for some of us!

I seem to do better with goals, even for small stuff, then leaving things open-ended. I don't think it's a flaw - just the way some brains work - and the trick might be in moderating the goals so they are achievable instead of setting up Big Huge goals and then beating yourself up StephFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00989653580014034752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-89015428472079956292016-07-16T11:10:49.736-04:002016-07-16T11:10:49.736-04:00I'm so glad to hear you got immediately back o...I'm so glad to hear you got immediately back on track after a one-day binge. I find that so difficult to do. One day leads to two days leads to two months leads to a year. And 53 pounds later....I'm still trying to get back on track. I shouldn't imply I haven't regained my control, I found it again earlier this year and have lost 37 pounds of the regain, on my way back to goal. dupsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088114640385927198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-78069698379409814212016-07-16T00:32:25.112-04:002016-07-16T00:32:25.112-04:00Katie, like the other comments above, I'm so g...Katie, like the other comments above, I'm so grateful for your willingness to open up about your struggles.

For the rest of my life I think I will need some exercise or eating-related goals to help keep me on track, and I don't really see anything wrong with that. One of the biggest things I've learned to accept about myself is that I will never be "normal" when it comes to my struggles with eating and weight.

It's because of your blog and thinking about my own battle with weight and attempts (and failures) with running and pursuing health that I finally have realized as an adult I'm a binge eater. I've never faced that truth and you've actually given me the awareness to face this issue in my life and do Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01872022707578211052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-1997383668402150802016-07-15T21:16:32.001-04:002016-07-15T21:16:32.001-04:00I am so happy to hear that you are considering run...I am so happy to hear that you are considering running goals again.
