MonStar's Journal: Getting Back On Track!

JerseyDevil · 12-21-2004, 04:22 AM

Good to see your keeping this journal going Mike! Those are some big malls in King of Prussia huh?

I'm Trying · 12-21-2004, 06:41 AM

Glad to see that you are sticking to this journal too Mike and keeping it all under control. Is this the same GF that you had before or a new one?? WHat are you hitting in the means of Calories, Fat Grams, Carbs and protein??

M.J.H. · 12-22-2004, 11:29 AM

JerseyDevil: Thanks for stopping by, bud. Yeah King of Prussia is huge man! One of the biggest malls I have ever seen, that's for sure.

I'm Trying: Thanks for stopping by man, I binged last night like crazy! But I am still going to stick it out with this journal, that's for sure. I really want to hang in there with this one no matter what. I am trying to stop pigging out and then feeling like I am going to vommit afterwards. That's such a bad habit, I guess being a binge eater for so long. I always have that urge to eat and eat and eat until I feel sick to my stomach.

Now THAT'S a binge

Well done!!!

**CowPimp** · 12-22-2004, 01:28 PM

Wow, I think this is the first time I've seen you post a binge in a journal. It's not good that you binged, but it's good that you finally fessed up to it and didn't try to pretend things were okay by starting a new journal. This is definitely a step in the right direciton.

BigDyl · 12-22-2004, 01:43 PM

Yeah, it's not the end of the world. You did it, its done, case closed. Feeling guilty about is almost pointless, except, the guilt gives you the resolve to get back on the diet. If you think about your nutritional intake as something restrictive, like a diet, then you liberate yourself when you binge. So don't think about it like that. Instead of having cheat meals, put some mayonaise on your sandwhich or oil on your turkey sub. Plan to have cheat meals, because no one is perfect. This way when you have one, you don't think twice about it. You wake up, and have your bowl of delicious oatmeal and whey shake. Consider the occasional cheat meal part of your eating routine. Don't give up after you eat it!

Duncans Donuts · 12-22-2004, 01:48 PM

I wish I could eat like that

M.J.H. · 12-22-2004, 05:23 PM

yellowmoomba: Yeah man, I feel like I was restricting my sugars for too long, I just went nuts, lol.

CowPimp: Yeah I decided to keep this journal no matter what. I am sick and tired of starting all over again from square one. Instead I am just going to post everything in my journal whether its good or bad. Everyone makes mistakes, etc.

BigDyl: The thing is that I already put mayo on my sandwiches, and everything like that. It's not like a eat an overly clean diet at all now. I mean I try and keep my sugar and alcohol intake low, but other than that, pretty much anything is fair game for me. I am in the process of trying to overcome an eating disorder. So restricting every little thing isn't the best idea, IMO.

DD: I can't afford to eat like that either, bud, trust me.

Nice looking workout

Rocco32 · 12-22-2004, 06:11 PM

Great w/o as always and congrats on posting your binge Mike. That was a step in the right direction.

M.J.H. · 12-23-2004, 03:24 AM

DD: Thanks bud, appreciate the feedback. I am trying to keep things pretty frequent, especially after my binge yesterday. By the way, I bumped up my dosage of sodium usinate from 200mg 2x per day to 300mg 2x per day. I am going to keep this dosage for a few days and see if I can tolerate the sides. I am also taking milk thistle, by the way, for liver support.

rock: Thanks for the support man, I am going to start posting my binges from this point on, that's for sure. If I slip up, it's going in my journal no matter what.

BigDyl · 12-23-2004, 06:40 AM

what is sodium unsnic, and where can i get it?

Hey Mike, I'm not done with the book yet but you may want to look at ISBN 0 471 41464 6

It tries to get you to figure out why you do some of the things you do that are negative, and change them, and boost on the positives.

Its a dieting product that can toast your liver, so read up on it first.

http://www.cjintnllabsupply.com/

Its not doing all that much for me, and I'm running far more than 400mg a day.

What sides are you getting? I got some heat here and there, but I've run now up to 800mg a day. I am going to start a gram a day and see how that goes, but so far honestly I'm dissapointed.

M.J.H. · 12-23-2004, 01:30 PM

BigDyl: Sodium usinate is a fat-burner bud, close to DNP almost. If you Google search for it you'll find a lot more info than I can provide.

Mudge: The sodium usinate is working great for me, so far at least. I mean I am hot all day long. My body temperature is much much higher. I end up sweating like CRAZY when I would normally just sweat a little bit. During my workouts, I am drenched in sweat! Today during my leg workout I was completely soaked in sweat. Normally I just sweat a little bit, not much at all really.

I swear dude I am totally immune to so much crap it just blows, I dont even want to laugh about it anymore but what the hey

I think its T3 time for me. How many carbs do you take in? I am doing around 3k calories a day @ 240 pounds AM 242-243 PM, 250g carbs, and have not lost a single pound. I have lost a total of 1/4" off my waist, pathetic. I have gone through 65 caps so far aka 6.5 grams.

sftwrngnr · 12-23-2004, 05:24 PM

Hey Mike,

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
