Just checking in - I am on vacation till Wednesday, so I think the routine of checking in will really crank up then, but I have done well with my water and being active, bit not as well with the meditation and reading. Given the vacation and holidays, things have been “off script” but 12/1 will mark the beginning for me. Looking forward to a very active next couple of days.

Hi @JaneD
This is great. I’d love to come along for this as well please.
My main goal is binge eating.
I’m ok with alcohol these days, although it was something I used to do in tandem with over eating.
Main Goal -
Binge eating.
Less sugar.
3-5 workouts per week.
If you guys will have me along for the ride, I’m in.

Day 17. Feeling strong and clear and hopeful. Got up before the kids and ran a little 1km around the block in the freezing Quebec weather. I felt in control. The more I do things like that, the less I want to eat crap, and the easier it is to not pick up my boyfriend’s glass of wine to take a sip out of pure habit. Thanks for sharing your struggles and hopes everyone, it really helps to know that I’m not alone in this self love battle.

Love that @SoberMelly it’s amazing what a few days can do. I am feeling so determined today. It will take a little while to start seeing it in myself I think but I can definitely feel a shift in my attitude which I was really hoping for.
It really helps to have people we can be completely honest with.
Really appreciating the supportive, non judgemental community spirit here. Signing off for today but love hearing how you are all doing.

A Quick thought: So i was on youtube, watching a harmless video, baseball highlights, and people decided to put pornography in the comment section. In the past this would have been a major trigger for me, NO MORE. I quickly clicked off the video. I said to myself, NICE TRY. Nothing, i mean nothing will stop me from getting my goals. I am Free.

I know this is a short-term challenge, but I’m just gonna put this little thought up.
Four weeks is a fantastic start, call it level one.
After that, the habits have to continue on though or we end up back in the same place. Just like a diet. Loose ten or fifteen pounds or 5kg or whatever, and then put 20kg back in over the next year to make up for that lost binge eating time.
So I’d love to see this continue on past the initial four week mark. Call three months level two and three years fabutastic champion level. Celebrate with a cool permanent or temp tattoo of a lightning bolt or a picture of mother looking on proudly.
