It’s early in the morning

Its 7am and i have not been to sleep i am going to write this and hopefully I willl pass out I’m almost there.
I went to the gym last night and ended up working out for 3 hours. I didn’t plan on working out for that long i just got really into it and did not want to stop. So i think i burned about a 1000 calories which is awesome because the other night i woke up in the wee hours and i ate half a roll of ritz crackers dipped in chocolate frosting and two glasses of milk. I was feeling really bad about it all day. I also  got really upset over family stuff and i had a mini panic attack which left me feeling horrible pretty much until i went to work out.
I felt better as soon as I got to the gym and i got on the ecliptical machine. Its kinda relaxing even though I’m moving because i zone out listening to my music and watching really bad videos. I’ve been running on the treadmill in bursts and it kinda makes me feel like I am going to die while I’m doing it but i feel so good after i do it so I know it is totally worth the pain and I am sure it won’t be so hard in a few weeks. I also did some strength training I have been dancing around the machines the last few times I’ve been there. So tonight i made myself try some of them. It was kinda embarrassing to have to take the weights down from 200pounds to 30 and i had to study the pictures on the sides to make sure i was doing it right. Thankfully hardly anyone was there.
Because i got so worked up from the gym i wasn’t able to go to sleep i tried a few hours ago to no avail so hopefully blogging to clear my mind will work.
I think i am going to try to go Overeaters Anonymous i looked them up online and the meetings are on Mondays conveniently located where my husband works so hopefully he won’t mind taking me. I think it would help me because i know how to eat right so i don’t need to go on a diet i have a problem with binging and overeating because I’m upset or really happy or to lazy to cook so i get fast food and it triggers a binge. Anyways i know my problem is emotional so i think OA would be a good place to seek help its free which is a plus and in my rehab days i went to NA and it helped. So we will see how it goes.
I am feeling really sleepy now so it almost 8am so im gonna try to get a nap in before Scarlet wakes up.

Hello, my blog has some great info about Overeaters Anonymous…I’ve been in the program for 2 months now. I’ve lost only about 5 pounds but it’s very motivational. Good luck!
