Some very interesting reading

I've been devouring Katie's blog over at runsforcookies.com

I am super inspired by her story and her transparency about her weight issues. I am also intrigued by her running tales. I just can't seem to get my head around sentences like "I just went out and ran the 4 miles that I had on the schedule".  Just ran 4 miles? I'm only just now trying out intervals of 2 minutes to see if my calf can cope with it.

I really do have dreams about being able to run for 4 miles. Really truly!

Anyway - through her honest blogging, I've discovered that I indeed m a binge eater. I really just thought that  I was a glutton and had no will power over food. I had never heard anybody admitting to binge eating - but of course now that I know that it exists, I've found all sorts of information.

Here's Mayo clinic's definition.
There's even an association!
And a wiki page!

After reading this particularly insightful blog post from Katie, and reading all of the comments, I came to this book.

Brain over Binge - interesting read.

I haven't made it all the way thorough yet, but it's definitely making me rethink the way that my brain works. I'll give an update when I finish it - and see if it has helped.

As of right now I have been binge free for 2 weeks - the longest I can remember!
