My eating has been off the chain lately...

..i need help.

after the 1/2 marathon, i figured i deserved to eat WHATEVER i wanted, and its still continuing. i gained about 3 lbs since the race (mind you it was 10 days ago) and im getting my period, and i just feel fat. and i keep eating and eating, and not working out...i miss running, i just can't find the motivation.

please help!

Ok dont panic...3 pounds (especially with your period!) is totally normal..its water weight, stored carbs etc. Not 'fat gain' or 'muscle gain.' So don't freak out yet. you just completed a crazy training process so it is normal to feel a bit burnt out. Maybe start by making some small changes in your diet and try doing something other than running? Do you have a gym membership? Maybe take a cool class, or do some weight training?

I agree. The 3 lbs is prob more water weight def not fat gain. Alo i agree with trying something new to start & then maybe slowly get back to the running.

Ok first thing...stop beating yourself up! This won't help...trust me...i need to follow this advice more but it's true. Everyday is a new start! So...tomorrow what is one goal that you will set for yourself? Going to bikram sounds like a good one!

hey where do you go to bikram again???? i need motivation too!!! we could go together!!
