Hey there. Donāt beat yourself up. You came such a long way. Be nice to yourself. Itās another stepping stone. You learned something along the way. Itās not a straight line, never in life. Itās more of a spiral. We feel like we are going in circles, but we forget that there is a third dimension. We change the planesā¦
Take care of yourself, tell us what happened and share the rest of your journey with us

Really struggling with a bombardment of cravings and urges. I have one hour until the shops close, but that feels like an eternity right now! 
Itās the final of one of the reality shows Iāve been watching tonight so the voice is telling me to āgo all outā

@CATMANCAM I hope you got the better hand with those urges. I remember that TV shows used to cause very intense feelings in me and I tried to soothe these with food. Maybe there is something else you could do while watching TV to help your feelings? In the end I realised Iāma very sensitive person and switched to watching animated TV which is easier on my nerves.

90 days surely feels like an eternity. On the other hand I still would not trust myself around sugar. Thatās a clear sign that stuff was not made for me.

I think that over 30 days is awesome! You may reset your timer, but the 35 days which you went through are not lost. Theyāll always remain the successful days and they surely tought you something.
Get back ok track 
I struggle myself but the good thing about me is that I never give up. Even when Iām the most exhausted or hopeless, I wonāt give up. Thatās why Iām sober today and one day Iāll have a good relationship with food too

Thank you, iām holding up. Iām reconnecting with my initial mindset: being nice to myself and giving myself full energy to battle this. I think along the way i started being harder and harder on myself. A normal meal became āa bad oneā because secretely stop binging isnāt enough. The problem was alway my self image. Even at 60kg i hated myself and dieted and then binged. This has to stop. Tidayās goal is feeling pretty. Iām going to the gym right now!
Thanks a lot for the replies. It helps so much. I donāt really have friends i trust with this and that get it.

I bet you will. I admire your mindset. I had a lot of challenges in life and they taught me that what makes you succeed is not being good but being perseverent. Little by little we are figuring this out.
Iām surprised to be in such okeyish disposition today. Iām getting back on that no binging horse asap.

On day 5 of no binging. Starting to have normal-ish hunger cues again. Because I again gained weight during the month or so of binging I really want to start restricting, but am going to just eat normally for a while. My body is certainly appreciating the better food schedule.

The first week is the worst. Stuff always gets easier after that.
I listened to a new episode of an eating behaviour related podcast. The lady there said something that stick with me. āWhy would you leave yourselfā And thatās what I do when I space out and overeat.
Tough questions. āWhy would I want to leave myself? Where would I want to go?ā

My advice is donāt restrict unless you have to because of health reasons, etc. Because paradixally restricting is what causes you the weight gain.
When I started eating everything and more (no time and food restrictions) I also gainee weigh and I got bloated and all the stuff I didnāt feel well at all. I hated it but stack with the process and after 9 or so months I slowly got back to a normal weight. My body just needed to realise that it doesnāt have to safe all kalories for worse times because itās going to be fed and not left hungry time to time anymore.
Iām now doing really bad in regards to food and my diet. I donāt know why itās so much out of control now and I donāt even want to take responsibility for itā¦ Iām just sitting back and waiting fot the day D to come which may be a mistake.
Itās funny becaue in all other areas of my life everything is close to perfect. Maybe I just always need some problem so Iām not bored? 
I hate the relationship I have with food right now. Absolutely out of controlā¦ Tiring. Powerless. Exhausting.
Hope dies last. I will get thereā¦

@acromouse I did! 
Thank you 
18 days no takeaways.
17 days no sugar.
15 days no crisps, no binge-eating.
Somehow I got through my cravings and urges a few nights back, and every evening since. I keep surprising myself. The voice is saying stuff like āyouāll never keep this up, just give inā ājust have a big binge but only once a monthā but I am becoming aware of it, and Iām finding the strength to start challenging it.

Made it five days, but struggling. Intrusive thoughts. Daughter shared a photo of me that she submitted as her inspiration for an upcoming athletic event celebrating women. I am so overwhelmed with love for her and the pic is actually beautiful (which is a big step for me to admit) and all I can think about is how I relapsed and in my messed up brain donāt look like that right now. It is messing with me big time and I want to stay soberā¦damn. Hard day. Grateful I can vent here. Stay strong all.

Day 6
Went out to eat with parents in law, ate a normal set lunch with them, but wanted to binge this afternoon after I came home and was alone, even though I wasnāt hungry at all, but survived by eating fruit and drinking tea. My kids are off tomorrow (random school holiday) so this evening we watched movie and I shared popcorn with them. For me that is balance. Sharing a normal meal or snack with people is fine. Eating secretly alone is not. And popcorn has lots of fibre. Happy to be at nearly a week.
