I should have been checking-in with 29 days, but things were out of control last night when I couldnāt sleep again. I ended up going to the shop to buy ājust oneā healthy thing to eat, but their reduced to clear section was full of things I had been wanting to try. I bought 6 items, thinking Iād save the rest for today, but no, I proceeded to eat one after the other in the space of 4.5 hours. Iād already had the pizza at 10:30am, and a whole load of fruit throughout the day too. Iām gutted to start over, but it happened and I canāt deny it.
Edited to change the counters because I didnāt eat crisps.

Hormones are making everything around hunger, satiety and eating difficult.
It is ok 
Start NOW again. Nothing is lost. Well done for not eating crisps 
Weāre with you, donāt give up! You may feel a bit bad today, but it is fine. Itās just your body dealing with the amount food. But now is your new fresh start. Donāt wait for anything and just do it now 
1.6 days. Trying to really understand my cravings and the voice in my head. I can recognise when itās Ed talking to me. Now I need to learn not to act on it
This is huge friend!!! Keep listening without judgement. Keep listening like you are on surveilance detail. You are a secret agent!!!
Day 8
No binge eating
Day 1353 : No binge today.
So sorry about your relapse, @CATMANCAM. 
Donāt get discouraged, just try to get back up again. 
2 days no binge 
I was after my dinner yesterday and I wanted something sweet. While making myself a cup of tea I was thinking about it and I knew itās Ed* who wants it, not me. He was trying to persuade me that it doesnāt matter who wants it and just to grab the little chocolate hidden in the kitchen cupboard. And then I said to myself, āDonāt listen to it today, Jana. Even if itās only today, letās have one evening sweets free. Itās only for tonight.ā And so left the kitchen with only the cup of tea. I was watching TV and had a few more moments thinking about that chocolate, but they werenāt that strong like the initial urge and maybe because the decision has been made by then, I coped fine. Literally just thought about the chocolate and then not in the next second. The thought was only passing by.
When I woke up today, it felt really great that I didnāt eat anything after my dinner. I am so happy, such a nice feeling when one gets to get over urges and triggersā¦ 
I also celebrated 5 years alcohol free yesterday, so itās almost like a double win
@acromouse indeed. Sorry your hormones are still making things difficult
@Jana1988 thank you well done for 2 days 
@Aleyadaisey thank you

Yesterday it was difficult to ignore my cravings for strawberries and greek yoghurt, and it made me in a really bad mood, like a toddler being told no. But I canāt keep having them every day because Iāve been spending too much money on fruit.

@Jana1988 First of all: Huge congrats on 5 yeard freedom from alcohol 
Nice idea to give your inner craving voice a name. And good work on recognizing that it is Ed who wants to binge and then making your own decision yesterday

Still hormonally challenged.
Maybe a binge, maybe not.
But Iāve definitely been eating more this week.
I air fried 2 servings of tater tots, and had 2 bacon and cheese egg bites.
Along with oat milk chai lattes all dayā¦
Lots of sugar in them 
I never felt full today. But seemed to feel hungry every couple of hours and I ate / drank every time.
Writing it out sounds healthy because I am listening to my hunger cuesā¦But didnāt āfeelā healthy. No fruit. Minimal protein. Mostly sugar and carbs.
I have to do better
Sometimes we have a day like this ā¦ The sugar is likely to be the reason why you constantly felt hungry, because your body burns it quickly and requires more of it. Unlike protein fills you up for longer period of time and is generally better if youāre not doing any cardio exercises or if you donāt have any other energy spend.
Day 1354 : No binge today.
@Jana1988 sorry I missed it yesterday, but congrats on 5 years AF 
48 days no takeaways.
44 days no sugar.
31 days no crisps.
2 days no binge-eating.
I ended up having to go to the shopping centre to buy bug spray because I discovered lots of small bugs in my porch and although a lot appeared dead, there were a few on the walls and ceilings so I knew some were alive. Totally freaked me out 
Anyway so I bought healthy food because I was in the vicinity, my inner toddler was happy, but now I need to try not to buy any more.

Thank you, @CATMANCAM and @acromouse
3 days no binge
@Jana1988 Well done on staying on track!
@CATMANCAM Sorry to hear about the bugs. Thatās always disconcerning.
@Scorpn Listening to your hunger cues is a great way to navigate. Be nice to yourself. Donāt beat yourself up so much.

Since I stopped bingeing I have been conflicted with the definition of that part of my eating behaviour that still troubles me. Iāve tried to call it overeating, compulsive eating, etc.
I still feel like I am not comfortable with the definition what the behaviour is that I want to abstain from. There are a lot of conflicting feelings and thoughts around this.
So I decided to remove my counter for āovereating/compulsive eatingā. Instead I am going to focus on setting the intention to stay present with eating, keeping heart and mind open, investigating this area on a daily basis until I have gained clarity.
Iām still keeping the counters for my trigger foods. There I am quite clear about.
