Paleo Day 10/1: Done and did it

You may be confused by the title. It means I cheated so this is either day 10 of an imperfect Paleo cleanse or day 1 of a perfect one.

I. Regret. Nothing.

I was anorexic and bulimic for about 5 years in my late teens. I would constantly obsess over food. They type I was eating, how much I was eating, if I'd gotten it all up through purging. I was noticing some of those same obsessive type thoughts coming around the food I wasn't allowed to eat. So I took control of my diet and ate them.

I planned on a huge binge, but it wasn't so crazy. I had frozen yogurt, a churro, a 24 oz. coke, 4 pieces of licorice, 8 pieces of crazy bread, a bite of a donut, and a bite of pizza. I had only a bite of the donut and pizza because they didn't even taste good to me. But you'd better believe I laid into everything else like there was no tomorrow. Perhaps because I knew there wasn't a tomorrow for those foods.

I used to eat terribly on a nightly basis. Now that it's been so long, it was such a treat. Such a "sometimes food" that I genuinely enjoyed it because I knew it would be a long while until I got it again.

I woke up this morning feeling completely focused, refreshed, and ready to keep going eating clean.

I am very interested in CrossFit and am going to be researching it further to see if it's something I can do.
