A walk to stop binge eating- Day 1

Since I didn't think of starting a blog today, I have had to so much to eat today. I woke up at 0525 and decided to go to the gym. The first thing i normally do before leaving my room is eat some fruits like apple or banana, but today after eating a banana, i decided to eat another snack with it. I stepped outside my room and headed to the first floor- I live on the sixth floor. On getting to the corner of the building, I saw a oreo cookie packet on a desk and decided to picked it up since it was meant to be thrown away in the first place. I began doubting if I want to go to the gym this morning, and by the time I got to the first floor, i had already finished the oreo cookie that was in my hand. On getting outside, I decided that my sleep is more important than a morning workout. I convinced myself to go to the gym later in the day. when i got back to my room, I went straight to my snack box and finished the left behind snack I had eaten earlier. And went back to bed for another two hour. I woke up in time to get ready for school, but that didn't start until I made sure that I finished another packet of oreo cookie, a box of soymilk and some other snacks. I told myself I wan't going to eat anything for lunch. I got really hungry right before lunch and over ate on junk food when I got to dining hall. I eat at the vegetarian table due to stomach issues, so that doesn't give me much options on food, but I overate chips. I got back to my room and sat down to enjoy another set of snacks which would probably add up to 1000calories. And that's when it down on me that starting a blog about how I eat might help me control what I eat. Maybe by doing so, I will be able to take my mind off eating during the day, and I might be encouraged by the people that read my blog.
