Grey day today, but only sun and happiness in my heart. I went swimming today and it was the best feeling to dip into the fresh Water. It flushes away any sorrow.
I just got informed that the third round of the job interview is in two weeks. Ouf. I‘ll need a lot of patience, I‘d rather know earlier if I get the job 
I have a very good feeling about it, though. I use the situation to focus on trusting myself and trusting the process.
Binges and cravings are far away and that’s where I like them to be.
On my way to coffee with a friend and then the cinema. I may also treat myself to cake, because this is exactly how a person with healthy eating habits behaves from time to time. Not an excuse to smuggle in something sweet at all. Just… normal eating. It’s like a miracle for me that cake is just an option, not a compulsive behaviour.
Have a peaceful day everyone!

Today I almost binged. It came unexpected. I am spending a few days with friends of mine. Helping out in their household. They have 5 kids (youngest is just a newborn) and the mom is in the hospital. She needs care, the kids need care and the dad is doing a great job, but he is exhausted.
I got there today in the morning, cleaned the house, did some laundry, cooked and took the oldest of the kids to his Judo.
It was a busy day, I didn’t plan my meals, I didn’t self check-in and I didn’t take good care of MY needs. And guess what? It did lead to the urge to overeat at dinner right away. I am sooooooo glad I noticed that I was about to loose control and that I was able to stop eating.
I re-learned an important lesson: On busy days I want and need to take care of myself. I just HAVE to make time for it, just like I make time for getting dressed or brush my teeth.
I am grateful I will not have anymore to eat today. I am nourished and satisfied. I will go to bed early and give my body the rest it needs after a busy day.
Have a peaceful day / evening everyone

Im still here, keeping overeating/binging/snacking under control. You are all very motivating and Aga your numbers are so impressive, it looks like it’s easy peasy but we all know how much self control and discipline you must have. And Aleya, your number looks like a date already, like a year 
You are all amazing

So the first 30-90 days actually were about control and discipline in terms of limiting triggers: people, places and situations. Currently it’s about keeping to good habits and investing in recovery.

Day 18
I am grateful to be where Im at with my timer 
This week has been hard tho with me being sick. I havent binged or engaged in disordered eating, but I havent made the best choices of what to eat at times. Ive been really trying to stick to my high protein/fiber meals. And for the most part, I have succeed. But this morning i ate some chocolate for breakfast 
I ate a small amount, realized that this isnt healthy eating, and then decided to eat yogurt with high protein granola instead. Im trying to remember that with me being sick, my body needs good nutrients to heal itself, so Im trying to focus on that. All n all tho, Im happy that I havent engaged in binge eating or disordered eating.

I am home again. I am grateful to sleep in my own bed tonight.
Today was hard, I have been struggling with food noise and cravings. I will reflect tomorrow what happened and how I felt. For now, I just need a good sleep.
Hope you are all doing well

Day 1900 : No binge today.

1 month & 9 days no binge
But I must confess that I ate a whole milk chocolate in the evening yesterday. I class it as over-eating because I did actually enjoy it and ate it slowly (not mindlessly like when I used to binge). After I had it, I was craving sweets for the rest of the night but I didn’t give in.
Although I enjoyed the sweet taste, I didn’t enjoy that I ate a whole chocolate during one sitting. But unfortunately, that’s the only way when it comes to sweets and candies. Unless it’s dark chocolate, I am not the type who can have a square or two and put it away. For me it’s either everything or nothing. And from now on I am choosing nothing again..
The thing is, for me sweets are like alcohol. It started with “just occasionally tasting a dessert” from my partner’s plate. Then I’d have a half. Then all of sudden I’d order my own. Then started having something “small” every day. Then I’d have something “small” 2 times a day, then 3 times a day. Then I’d eat a whole chocolate. So what’s next? Nah, I am not going back to binging.
My month and 9 days on the counter were mainly possible because I didn’t eat sweets, therefore I had nothing to binge on. Because I won’t binge on normal food.
+My lower back hurts again.
+My acid reflux is back
+I can’t sleep at night.

Today, I am starting my day one without sweets. Wishing myself the best of luck. I did it recently for quite a while. I will do it again for good. Nothing to be scared of. Plus I’ve got you all here for me. Such a great support group of amazing people who have my back
