11 days no sugar, no crisps, no takeaways.
0 days no binge-eating.
Checking-in with yesterdayās numbersā¦
Mind is in f**k-it mode, and wants to get rid of the remaining groceries as quickly as possible so we can end this experiment. I have learned that I still cannot control myself around real food, and that having food in my fridge makes me pre-occupied and anxious.
I still have a very healthy fear of what my blood glucose levels would be after one of my usual binges, with unhealthy food and sugar etc, so I am hoping that this will prevent me from going to any shops or bingeing like I was before.
I just really hope thereās not too long to wait until I start having sessions with the psychiatrist again.

Thereās nothing left to binge now. Last night wasnāt too bad but I still class it as a binge. Things should improve now.

Itās a real struggle this eating disorder. I feel all of you guys, Iām struggling too.
Today I was thinking about how I used to do intermediate fasting not a long time ago. My last food had to be before 8pm. It was the only thing which worked for me until I slipped and never got back. Not sure why? Maybe because itās more comfortable to just give in to my cravings, despite knowing that itās just short term pleasure and that Iāll feel defeated and not good on the long run (physically and mentally).
Itās every day that I wake up with this awful feeling after the previous night binge and itās every day when I feel like this when I make all the promises how today will be different. I always look sceptically on them, because of the experience built up for so long, knowing I never keep them. But thereās also this small hope that maybe today is the dayā¦
Sometimes I look at the date and say to myself: āThis could be a good day to start!ā Like today. 1st of June sounds cool, doesnāt it? Iād remember the day which has changed my life and eating habits for good.
Who knows how today will go. So far so good. But itās the evening what I struggle with the most. I will try. Every day I will try. I will not give up

Good morning everyone.
So 1st of June 2024 will not mark for me a day when I stopped binging. And I was so close! 
However. Now weāre in a new day. And who knows - maybe 2nd June is The day! 
I like even numbers better anyway

@CATMANCAM I really am impressed by your days without junk food. Do you think eating real food had something to do with that?
@Jana1988 Donāt give up hope friend. Has there been anything in the past besides IF that has helped you with your ED?

The Brain over Binge podcast and especially the book have put me in a really new mindset about overeating/bingeing. Letās see how this goes.

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¦

Had one of those sugar eating dreams last night. Subconscious is apparently working.

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!
