Hi @acromouse Not really. First I suffered from bulimia. I had a therapy which helped me with that. But the binge eating is just hard to manage for me. Once I get urges theyāre so strong that Iām finding impossible to overcome them and always end up binging. IF helped because I binge only in the evening before bed time. So there was no window for me to binge when I had to finish my eating by certain time. Although I usually stuffed my face with lots of food during my dinner 
I think that I am scared that Iād be hungry. Because if Iām hungry, I donāt like that feeling and I also feel like I have less control over food then. But then I have no controll over food no matter if I was hungry or not. So it doesnāt make much senseā¦

I managed to finish my dinner just after 7pm yesterday and not to eat anything else afterwards.
Interesting was that I noticed a pack of crisps on a table, which my boyfriend had ready to snack on them later and my thought process was that maybe I could have some too, but I remembered that these crisps always give me IBS so I shouldnāt have them, yet I was thinking to eat some as my last snack before I stop snacking in the evening.
However, I needed to have a shower first and then in the bathroom I realised how I donāt even like the crisps and that I donāt want them. If me and my boyfriend were already sitting on the sofa at that time when my urges were running through my head, I would ended up eatingā¦ That made me realise how taking a bit of time away from the food when experiencing cravings can change the perspective. The shower saved my ass from binging!

I found it suspiciously way too easy yesterday Even my bf ate chocolate and I was happy to have just 1 row 
What has happened? I donāt care, just please last it like this!
Feeling good but am bloated because I am on my period now. A bit of pain and discomfort. Lets see how this will affect my eating today.

@acromouse congrats again on 60 days no UPFs 
and your week+ no overeating/binge
@Jana1988 Iām glad the shower changed your perspective 
and I hope that things will continue like yesterday for you 
16 days no crisps, no takeaways.
0 days no sugar, no binge-eating.
Checking-in with yesterdayās numbersā¦
I went to the local shop to try āone last experimentā with a few groceries, because I was craving jam on toastā¦ It did not turn out well. They didnāt sell sugar-free jam, so I begrudingly bought regular jam, thinking I could control it and ājust have a littleā, I couldnāt, I ended up bingeing jam on toast last night, and then this morning I ate the rest from the jar with a fkin spoon, it was vile, I didnāt even like the taste, but I still couldnāt stop myself! No more experiments.
My findings from monitoring my blood glucose levels show me that my body cannot tolerate carbs well at all, not even complex ones, so I will stick to my low carb, high protein diet, and hopefully things will be better and more stable.

I have 4 days without binging. Eating nutritionally good and big enough dinner helps. I need to learn to cook 2 meals for myself (1 lunch and 1 dinner), rather than be snacking in the evening instead.
Unfortunately I caught flu and I feel pretty rough today. Not sure if I manage to eat regularly as e.g. now I donāt feel like having a breakfast at all. Good is that I also have no desire to eat anything sweet eitherā¦ Maybe a good time to get rid of sugar from my life
Anyway. Iām going to rest a bit more before I asses whether I am able to WFH or if I need to call sick.

Had strong cravings for chocolate yesterday, which I rarely ate even before I was diabetic, or in my usual binges, so it was fairly easy to resist but still uncomfortable. Today so far, all is well, except there is quite a lot of glucose in my urine and blood, because I still eat the porridge for breakfast because I want to use it up and my meal replacements havenāt arrived yet, they will today though, I received a text from the courier.

A lot of anxiety today. I craved chocolate again this evening and felt the compulsion to go to the shop very strongly, but then remembered my shakes delivery came toda, and I found a chocolate caramel flavoured one, and it satisfied the craving which felt good. 132 calories Vs the 1090 calories that I would have had, much better!

I had a big dancing session. Over 8k steps on my counter and 50 heart points! So that was fun for sure! 
@Jana1988 I hope you have a speedy recovery from the flu. I know being sick isnāt fun. Sending healing prayers/thoughts. 
Great job on resisting the craving by getting something healthier, @CATMANCAM! Every win counts!
Wow, nearly 200 days since you had sugar, @acromouse! Keep it up, youāre doing great! And good job with your other counters too!

@Aleyadaisey What kind of dancing did you do?
@CATMANCAM Iām sorry you are experiencing anxiety. I find this often difficult and then food/eating comes as a distraction to mind. Good job on choosing a better option. I hope your meal replacements will make your situation easier.

My hormonal upheavals are currently so bad, I canāt even say if I am overeating. I know I am eating more then usually as I experience far more hunger.
