Binge, Binge, Purge

Tomorrow is my binge day. I wish it was called something else. Like "Happy Eating Day" or "Back to Normal Stuff Your Face Day". Binging sounds like I will be holed up on a rotten couch somewhere awaiting an intervention. (I watch too much TLC). But, binge it is. I have a mini list of foods, and I am going to go upstairs and re-read the 'Damage Control' chapter again and again. Fourty leg squats? Check. Drink grapefruit juice? Check. Run naked through the streets with nothing but a can of whip cream and a handful of M&M's screaming "I'm free!! I'm free!! I'm free at last!!!!!" Check.

If I am going to binge, I feel like there should be some need for medical intervention at the end of it. Or that there is a dicey evil dude involved; someone who can act as my 'pusher'. Maybe I can get my husband not to shave or shower and stand in the pantry...and every time I open the door he can shove tasty contraband food at me: "Want a croissant? Another chai tea? Oh, man, I have the best chai....pure stuff right from India....just try it!". I don't think I have actually ever binged before....... unless we include vacations at all inclusive resorts.....I have set records for alcohol and food intake! Or 'helping' my kids get rid of their Halloween candy.

Okay, maybe I have binged. I feel better talking about this. Every once in awhile, it is important to share these things. Get it off your chest. Purge.
