Today I read a quote from a long time sober alcoholic--it was something like 'my worst days in recovery were still better then my best days binging'.

As a long time food binger and dieter, I can attest to his setiments, that yes my worst days of abstinence from compulsive overeating are better then my best days of binging (and I HAVE had many). But just for today I feel like the "Toned Zone poster girl" (Ok, Ok, I haven't been a "girl" for ages, so call me the 'Toned Zone middle aged Mother" then, if you must!)

I have had a lovely hike up the mountain, and I've done an hour of full body weights. And now I'm soaking in the tub and feeling my muscles burning calories. No amount of food of any taste, or of any brand has ever felt as good as this!!
