Confession

I'm a binger. It occurred to me yesterday after eating half a box of Samoas that Girl Scout cookies aren't the only thing I binge on. Apparently I can't stop eating grapes until the whole 3 pounds are gone, but I did manage to only eat half the bag of potato chips. This was all yesterday. Some things I don't feel too guilty about bingeing on, like the grapes. At least they're healthy. But these things, not so much:

(If only they were actually this big.)

Not only are Samoas 75 calories per cookie, but also, let me do the math, about 25 cents each. In addition, since they only come around once a year, I generally like to save a few for later. At least a few days later. Not a chance this year.

In addition to food, I tend to binge on exercise, like when I don't train for, but run a 50k trail race, or don't lift weights for three months, then do 1200 lunges. I like to binge-sleep too, and I can go for up to 15 hours straight. It's best if you get a little sleep deprivation going before the big nap. Just like if you go for a nice long ride and get good and glycogen depleted, then your stomach can hold so much more food.

I've been in the binge eating and sleeping mode again this past week or so, and I attribute it to the unending winter temperatures. I'm about over this, mother nature, so please bring spring! It's getting expensive and time consuming to keep eating and sleeping this much. Winter be gone!
