I spent the last two days with one of my closests friends in Munich and we had a great time together. I love short trips and I feel grateful that I have the ressources to do it (time, money, health). It hasnât always been this way.
I am glad with keto eating because my trigger food are banned. I still struggle with the right size of meals. I will figure it out, though.
Have a peaceful day, everyone ![]()

Hey girl! The overnight was okay. I am a bit tired this morning but I cant nap just yet. I had to do some cleaning. Our apartment was a mess from the weekend. Im going on my ED zokm group at 10 and then after that I might try to nap before the gym. Not sure. I did have the urge to want to eat chocolate this morning for breakfast, but chose yogurt with protein granola and flax seed. I told myself that Id feel awful if I ate that chocolate snack.
Thank u for thinking of me ![]()

Ugh, I feel that. Cleaning the âweekend chaosâ while tired is a whole different level of adultingâyouâre a warrior for getting that done before your group!
Seriously though, please really consider to take that nap. Youâve already checked the cleaning and your ED group off the list, so youâve more than earned some shut-eye. Pushing through a workout when youâre running on empty usually just feels like a chore, but I think a proper snooze might give you more energy back. I hope the question is not out of line, but is there maybe a core belief in you that you are somehow not allowed to rest during the day?
Well done with your breakfast choice! You gave your body real nutrition, and I think that is an act of self love.
Always here for you, friend ![]()

Hello @DanielaJ
Well done on your eating. I am glad you enjoyed your time away with a friend. It sounds like you had very nice Easter. I am happy for you and hope it will all continue going very well for you ![]()
Hello @Butterflymoonwoman ![]()
I agree with Daniela here. Maybe try and shuffle your priority list a bit. You being well rested is very important for many things, but mainly for recovery and re-energising. I can see why you donât want to give up a work-out which probably makes you feel good but maybe in this scenario it would be better to just let it go and give yourself some sleep instead. Youâre not a robot. Surely you can sustain the life-style but in long term it could cause you harm ⌠Youâll likely be more vulnerable and Ed will take an advantage for sure.
Sometimes our mind needs to come before the body.
But of course, that is just an opinion based mainly on my own experience and maybe it is different for you. But I would feel bad if I didnât put my 5 cents in ![]()
Whatever you decide to do, I hope it is going to work for you and that you will get through this difficult period quickly and ok ![]()

Checking in, not sure what day but been doing better with emotional eating. Odaat.
Day 1960 : No binge today. ![]()
@Butterflymoonwoman Sounds like youâre dealing with a lot. With the cleaning and your ed group and everything else, and despite it you also had a nutrient dense breakfast as opposed to just chocolate. I would say thatâs a win! As for the gym, Iâd say that you probably should wait until youâve caught a nap or sleep. Otherwise you might hurt yourself. I care about you, we all do. ![]()

Hey guys
What once seemed impossible came true today and I am binged free for full 2 months! ![]()

If I look back, I canât see anything particularly challenging. I am still addicted to processed food, mainly sugars though, which I donât like, but itâs satisfying that I donât binge on the stuff ![]()
6 meals a day - a thing I absolutely hated at the beginning of my therapy and thought that itâs an absolute nonsense - seems to be the key for me. It works, because I am not hungry at the end of the day and after a good dinner and a snack, I genuinely donât feel like stuffing myself with tons of food. It brought relief to my life and some sort of freedom. Not binging gives me options to do other stuff instead and obviously, it makes me feel better in my body and mind ![]()
I eat everything and in whatever amount I feel like, I am currently not restricting at all. My weight is stable (I weight myself every Sunday morning) and that also gives me confidence that I donât have to worry about growing too big if I eat freedomly. Itâs like a miracle how smart my body is and how it adjusted my metabolism to the regular food intake.
I still have acid reflux from time to time, but I learnt that it is about what I eat and sugars are the worst. But I donât have IBS anymore.
Funny fact:
My therapist asked me if I was diagnosed and after saying no she told me to stop telling myself that I suffer from IBS and I donât have it since btw. That only shows the power of mind and I stopped telling myself other lies too. She very much opened my eyes in this matter. Half of the things we have might be really just a result of what we are telling ourselves.
Wishing you all lovely Thursday and successful journeys ![]()
