Eat like a Sumo Wrestler, look like one......

Pretty huh?!!  Did you ever wonder what these guys eat to have such massive size?  Not only do they consume nearly 20,000 calories a day, but they often take a binge-starve approach.  I have definitely fallen victim to this, albeit on a smaller scale.  So many times I have over-indulged, felt guilty, no, felt furious and then decided to eat next to nothing the next day.  What??!!  That is craziness I know & feel ashamed to admit it, but here I am, keepin' it real!! Time and time again I am humbled when I try to really skimp on calories after I pig-out.  It just doesn't EVER work.  The body is smart and when it's starving, it will hold onto the next food you eat, (cause you eventually have to eat!) and then it will nicely distribute it to all your problem areas in the form of flubber!
