Somehow I did it! I watched the final of one show, and 2 episodes of the other show. Then I fell asleep. Thereās just the final of the other show left to watch, itās a 1hr 35min episode, so of course my addict is screaming at this point. Iām not going to give in to him, I donāt want to reset now Iāve finally got a couple of days going. Iām feeling so much better mentally for it. I think my mind must have finally had enough, because I havenāt had any cravings yet. I hope this continues, because it really is a new kind of peace.
Thatās so motivating! Well done for it!
Maybe writing down how good you feel today and read it before you watch your next final show?
But you just dit something you didnāt think you could do and lookā¦you just did!
You can do more then you think you can
@CATMANCAM Congrats friend on building a streak and staying in peace Keep at it. And no matter what today may bring: You already build 48h of peace.

Another day stacked, and I even watched the final of the other show last night! I did experience cravings, but not until I was halfway through the episode, so I knew I could finish the rest. This feels like such an achievement, Iāve truly surprised myself. Feeling grateful.
My hormone induced anxiety and stress are back. Iām torn between distracting myself and trying to stay mindful. I want to make the stress go away and at the same time the stress makes me feel nauseous. I know this will pass. I just hope it wonāt affect my trip tomorrow too much.
Hi guys, having a bad day. Purged (āsuccessfullyā) for the first time today. I felt rlly good after, which was unexpected, and scary and disturbing and i feel like im definitely going to do it again. I overate after coming home from holidays, and im not used to the feeling of being that anymore since starting my abstinence, and feeling so full of calories made me panicky and i didnāt know what else to do but purge.
Iām in a new relationship with a great guy, and i want to tell him that i have a fucking eating disorder, that ive been trying to lose weight since i was 8 years old, but i cant bring myself to dump it on him. When im abstinent im super careful what I eat, which he (and everyone) else has noticed. He just thinks Iām really healthy, when actually the opposite is true. I donāt know how he would support me, or if i even need his support really. I just want him to know this about me, but at the same time itās a terrifying level of intimacy that i mightnt even be ready for.
Also heās just been through a long, difficult period and i really just want to be a person in his life who is supportive and uncomplicated and not sick or saddled with heavy, crazy baggage. I donāt want him to have to deal with my baggage! I want to be someone who carries their own baggage. I really donāt want to be someone in his life who is sick and āneeds helpā.
Iām traveling right now, so I canāt write anything long.
Iām sorry you are going through all these emotional turbulences.
Regarding your new relationship: There is a difference between being honest and emotionally dumping on someone. So maybe you could consider for yourself where your middle ground is there.
And one more thing: There are no uncomplicated people without baggage. Thatās a myth. We are all human. We are all complicated. We all have experienced suffering.

I was craving a specific takeaway all day yesterday, but I thought of my counter and didnāt want to reset. I fell asleep early again, so avoided my 8pm cravings too. Itās because I can take my medication at my usual time, because Iām not staying up late to watch the show I was watching for 8 weeks. I much prefer this.
Now it is the summer vacation I am home all day with the kids. In the high 30s most days, so staying in the house. I am eating a little more than I would normally, and no running, so am feeling a little panicky about weight gain. But trying to focus on no binging and eating healthily.

I havenāt slept for a single second. I hadnāt watched TV in the lounge for atleast a month, but I have been trying to work it back into my routine. I had the urge at 8pm to start the latest season of one of the shows on my catch-up list. There were some technical issues, but I somehow resolved them, and so I watched one episode. The problem was, before I got the urge, I felt tired, but because I didnāt let myself go to sleep, I missed my opportunity, and now, insomnia. However, I am pleased to report despite being awake for 24hrs now, I have suffered no cravings.
Day 55 of low carb breakfast, but Iām not doing so well with getting my walks in. Itās hard for me to get motivated right now. But Iāll try again now that itās the weekend and maybe it will re-motivate me.
and congrats on 250 days no sugar 
Keep at it. And no matter what today may bring: You already build 48h of peace.
