Wow, 180 days free from sh is fantastic! Keep up the good work there!
Day 718 : No binge today.
Day 54 : No coffee today.
Day 23: imperfect regular eating
Things are going good.
Eating when hungry.
Eating what I prefer that moment.
Not eating when not hungry.
No binge.
Having movement everyday.
Body is feeling not bloated or as if gained weight. More as if I loosed some.
Positive body feeling.
I am using scale only every few weeks to not be triggered by weight. I prefer using my feeling or some special clothes that can be used to proof figure
Wow, sounds like a proā¦
That i am not at all.
I reached relaxing imperfectness atm and thatās cool!
Love
It is day 15 for me to eat daily.
I had a breakfast sandwich,
A breakfast burrito (for lunch)
And
A bowl of Mac with tuna and peas
Three meals today. Not sure Iāll have three again tomorrow, but I will eat. And i only feel slightly panicked at how much Iāve eaten. I am reminding myself that food is fuel. And i have been busy. It will be ok. And i can go to the gym tomorrow.
Those meals sound delicious scorpn! I used to eat mac n cheese with tuna and peas when i was a kid. I should totally eat some again. Good protein, fats and fiber.
Day 719 : No binge today.
Day 55 : No coffee today.
Itās one of my sonās favorites. Thursday is his dinner choice. So a lot of Thursdays we have it
Mac, tuna, and peas?! @Aleyadaisey @Scorpn this is not something I have had before but now yāall have me intrigued! I might need to give that a try.
Day 720 : No binge today.
Day 56 : No coffee today.
Iām just curious, do you abstain from all caffeine or specifically coffee?
I know that i have a coffee addiction (i drink about 20 espresso shots every day at work ) and I do need to slow it downā¦but Iām not sure how Iād keep going without the caffeine.
Do you have any tips or suggestions for supplementing?
I only abstain from coffee. I drink chai or mountain dew because both have less caffeine. Mountain dew isnāt the healthiest option but it doesnāt give me jitters, nor does chai. I drank green tea as well, I think itās better than coffee because it lasts longer and is more calming than coffee. Out of all of them I would probably recommend Green tea. You can get it in Kcup form or tea bag form at walmart and online.
Today I ate twice. A sausage breakfast sandwich from work and chicken nuggets & fries from McDonaldās (because the kids really wanted McDonaldās ) it was not a super healthy eating dayā¦but also, I didnāt restrict or binge. I have done it for a couple weeks now. And Iām happy with that. I will try not to scrutinize every meal as much as I do in the future. But for now itās one day at a time eating.
Iām impressed Lol and congrats to you on eating daily
And @Aleyadaisey congratulations on youāre acomplishments when I do run into youāre thread I always take a look very impressive. I used to binge and purge so I know how hard it is to stop that habit. Now Iām just addressing the purging. I havenāt though for about a week now. I feel like a baby buluga though :/. I told myself I would start eating better this weekend
Everyone that posts here congratulations to you all. Much love
Thank you, Jftself! Super excited to reach a full 2 years!
Lolā¦ My coworkers think itās an accomplishment to drink that much in a shift, but i honestly donāt think Iād make it through a day without it.
I drink 3 when i arrive, 3 more half hour later (when we open) 3 on my early break, 4 on my lunch break, and at least one more triple shot in the second half of the shift, sometimes 2 more triple shots, and always leave with 4 in a cupā¦
And then i drink some regular coffee when i get home to drink while i get kids together (homework, chores, dinner) i pretty much survive on coffee
I used to drink a lot less coffee (probably about half as much as now) when i was getting highā¦ But once i got sober i couldnāt get enough energy to make it through the day.
Sounds like a vicious cycle: you have no energy cos you donāt eat. You drink coffee to give you energy. Caffeine is a major hunger suppressant. There you go, full circle.
I drink a lot of coffee too. you might be the first person I encounter who has more than me. I tip my coffee hat to you. But you know, itās a choice. Like everything.
@Jftself wow big congrats on not thinking of purging for a week. Thatās great progress!
No caffeine after work today and I am so beyond tired at only 6pm Iām not sure Iāll make it till 9 (little ones bedtime)
I worked from 430-3 today and had roughly 16 espresso shots and 20oz of coffee.
I do think youāre right @Faugxh that I am not hungry often because of the coffee ā¦ I ate a piece of pumpkin bread today at work and was full.
For a āmealā i am having 6 pizza rolls and some salad with Asian sesame dressing. But all i really want right now is some sleep
Update: i had one cup of long shots (basically espresso watered down to a cup of coffee) i genuinely thought Iād fall asleep on the couch and my little one would be unsupervisedā¦
But itās better than a full pot of coffee after work. So itās still improvement. I will try to have less caffeine tomorrow
Exactly, do not cut caffeine cold turkey right away, with the amount of caffeine you have been having, you could have a terrible withdrawal headache. Start slowly, work your way down, and then decide if you want to have a moderate amount of caffeine, or stop entirely. It was easy for me to cut down on caffeine, but I never drank 20 espresso shots.
Day 721 : No binge today.
Day 57 : No coffee today.
25 days imperfect regular eating, no binge
I had 2 meals somedays instead of 3, but this was calming my gut until here. Wonāt do IF or something restrictive. It was just a wish from inside.
Other point is that i am a bit in emotional trouble because of a thing with a man.
Thatās triggering my āi am not good enoughā thinking and also that I have to be thinner. Anyway my curves are something he likes much.
No rational thoughts.
Yesterday I already thought about dieting on holiday and so on. Donāt knowā¦ I will try to keep my style up, because it is bringing me to a regulated weight too, very slowly but it does.
But itās not that easy right now.
Love
