Cherry Pie Incident

I had an unfortunate incident with a piece of cherry pie. The first bite was so satisfying but by the last bite I felt like it was the most disgusting food ever. I thought about throwing it up but I didn't want anyone to hear and I told myself I wasn't going to go back to that because it's such a slippery slope for me. That cycle of bingeing and eating is addictive to me, and never really resulted in any "real" weight loss. The weight would always just come back. So I vetoed throwing up and then decided I'd run the calories off. I was on the treadmill for almost an hour before I got this really weird cramp in my shin, but I just decided to keep going because I always run for an hour and I only had 4 or 5 minutes to go. The pain kept getting worse and worse and eventually my leg literally gave out. I fell face first on the treadmill and then onto my cement basement floor but luckily I don't remember any of this. To make a long story short, my brother drove me to the hospital and I have shin splints which is the lamest thing ever. For those of you who don't know what shin splints is, it's when your muscle starts to separate from your bone on your shin and it makes it uncomfortable/painful to walk. I know I have shin splints, but I always push myself when they bother me and make myself finish my run. Now I can't run for a week and I'm supposed to ice my shin for he rest of today. I'm super pissed about this. Somehow I have to get through 3 Christmas dinners this week WITHOUT EXERCISING!?! How is that possible? I have no idea how I'm going to get away with this. I can't flat out refuse entrees, wine, an entire meal and dessert THREE TIMES. My parents will definitely know somethings up. Ugh i need some ideas as to what to do! I know I can pretend to have the flu for one of these days, but that still means I have 2 more dinners.

Other than the cherry pie (which I successfully burnt off) I haven't eaten anything else today. Now I just need to not eat for the rest of the week so I can actually lose some weight!

Good luck everyone!
