I'm BaAaAaCK!

Hello! I'm back from my 2 week long hiatus! Sorry about that by the way - but oh well; I do what I can when I can!

I guess it's time for some updates. Hmm where to begin... well thinking about writing a blog I had tons of ideas... now I'm just pulling blanks :/

Well first off food wise I haven't been very good... let me rephrase that - I've been awful. It's like I just snapped and decided to eat everything I could possibly fit into my mouth over the course of an hour... and after that nothing. Just for that hour and then I come to my senses.... but AHaAaA it's so frustrating!  Why do I do this to myself? I know how awful I feel afterwards *le sigh* Life goes on.... Speaking of life - it's been very good lately! I made a couple recipes lately which I'm going to share today so ;~D

I've decided I'm going to start journaling what I eat on here - It'll make it easier on me to see what I'm eating when... so here we go!

Now I'm off to bed. I'm up at 4 am tomorrow to finish off a project I have due. Tomorrow morning is going to be a weeeEeE bit stressful, but I intend to take everything in stride! One thing I'm really trying to accomplish this week (even though it's almost already over) is not stressing out.

I just ask myself, will it matter 10 years from now? Honestly when you think about it will you even remember this instance in time 10 years from now?

So tell me folks, What do you do to stop the random binge cravings?
