Good morning :sun_with_face:
Soon, I am moving out of here and it’s about time, because my tolerance levels are lowering with the moving date approaching and I am full of anger and all possible toxic feelings with my ‘mother-in-law’ and just can’t wait to get out of here!!! :pray:t3:
Besides peace on mind and sanity, I can’t wait not to have all the crap food around and so less temptations as I’m finding myself for most of the time not strong enough to resist.
Whenever I go to my new place to tidy and clean, I feel very relaxed and utterly happy :blush: I can’t wait to start this new episode of my life (it should happen on Saturday, maybe Friday, depends on time availability of the moving guy).

I am not binging ‘big time’, but I am not eating the way I wish I was. So I am resetting my counter every day now. But I am also hopeful every day, that the day will be different. So who knows, maybe today will be better :hugs:

@Jana1988 Fingers crossed you can move ASAP, and all the best for the move itself. Having a place where you have more control of the food environment is huge!

@Jana1988 so excited for you! :grinning:
@acromouse look at you with 200 days no UPFs and double digits distraction-free eating, congrats :tada::tada:

105 days no takeaways.
101 days no ice cream.
29 days no crisps, no binge-eating
3 days no sugar.

Later this evening, it will be one whole month of no crisps or binge-eating, my 2nd longest attempt ever. A way to go before I reach beyond my PB of 55 days before my relapse at Easter, but on the way.

Thank you, @acromouse I really can’t wait!!!
There are thousands of reasons to be honest :joy::joy:
336 no sugar and 200 no UPF… and 10 no distraction eating. You are doing so well!
I just prepared my dinner and I won’t eat anything else.
The good thing is that I told my partner’s mother that we’re not going to pay towards anymore shopping, because it’s enough food here now for us until Friday, so she did not go shopping so far and so nothing sweet is here :pray:t3:

@CATMANCAM Thank you very much :blush:
Ok, that’s huge - a whole month without crisps and binging, that’s awesome!! I know that you struggled with crisps. Maybe not eating them goes hand in hand with not binging :smiling_face: I am pleased for you :slightly_smiling_face:

@Jana1988 thank you :blush: and yes, every time I binged there would always be crisps involved as they were my favourite bc they would last for an episode of TV. Any other stuff I used to buy with them, I ate like an animal in the kitchen before I layed down.
@acromouse thank you :blush: it sure does!

106 days no takeaways.
102 days no ice cream.
30 days no crisps, no binge-eating.
4 days no sugar.

Whilst I haven’t binged for a month now, I also haven’t restricted. I feel like I’m eating more throughout the day than I have in a long time, and it’s questionable whether it’s any healthier. I am gaining even more weight. I’m trying to remember that I’ll eventually be off my meds that cause my insatiable hunger, and things may get better. It definitely feels better not to be in the restrict/binge cycle, so I will just see how it all unfolds. I’m also aware it’s still very early days and my body is probably still in the mentality of needing to store food because it thinks I’m starving, and needs some time to regulate.

@CATMANCAM I understand your frustration about your weight gain. But I also truly believe that getting out of the binge-restrict-cycle is the foundation of healing. Keep it up!

Missed my check-ins yesterday. Had a bad time with anxiety whilst getting ready to travel for therapy. Therapy was rough again, I’m so angry, I guess I’m feeling something atleast. I ate quite a lot when I got home, but not in a binge-like manner, I was just hungry bc I hadn’t eaten since breakfast.

@CATMANCAM Feeling something is means your psyche does not feel like it has to numb everything down. That does mean progress indeed!

@acromouse congrats on 2 weeks distraction-free eating :tada:

Finally all caught-up here, powered by insomnia!

I still haven’t managed a single day without going to the shop. It’s getting to me a lot. Mentally and financially. It feels much like any other addiction.

I am not sure why, maybe due to my mind shift after working with the idea of my inner Pig, but this time it’s proving to be pretty easy to eat without distractions. As it comes from the Pig the boredom argument is not important and I don’t listen to it. It’s the Pig who can’t stand the boredom. Me, I can live with that bit of boredom in my life.
Instead I am enjoying my food and my meals more.

I have been avoiding this thread due to overeating most days and not exercising at all. Some was understandable: period, then head cold, but after that I was just letting myself steep in bad habits.
But I did a weights workout today and kept myself from going into a convenience store for snacks. Feeling mentally better already that I am treating my body well. I know this, eating shit makes you feel like shit, but I still fell into a trap of doing it. But health is a journey, so will just keep forging ahead now.
