Why does this always happen… I am scheduled to taper this week as I’m doing Geneva Half this weekend… when I taper, I find myself eating like shit, and eating whatever… after this weekend and morning, I feel totally gross, bloated and fat. Does anyone else do this, and WTF can I do to prevent me from doing this again-- and to get back on track even though I am tapering…
Carry good food with you everywhere you go. I like dried apricots, and yes, they’re calorie dense, but two of those and I no longer grave a chocolate chip cookie or ice cream.
Maybe try exercising some willpower and not eating a bunch of crap and then see if you feel better.
I agree…i am a sucker for the sweets especially during taper when I am absolutely ravenous. like an alcoholic with booze I try to avoid all situation that will really temp me with junk food. However I do treat myself within moderation one nice little piece of chocolate is enough to kill a craving and keep my mental state in check without breaking the calorie count.
