I am struggling a bit with snacking again. I am not at a stage where I want to be with my eating.
I am not hard on myself, though. It’s a learning process. Perimenopause doesn‘t make it easier either. I am proud of the steps I already made.
Have a peaceful day, everyone

Almost a month now of mindful eating, which is just incredible. My husband has been nagging me to eat some sweet things that he bought in bulk, but I am scared of it triggering binging so I don’t want to. I understand his confusion, a couple of months ago, I would have eaten them all and then some more in secret, but I happy in my progress now and don’t want to spoil it.

Snacking is so hard… I do snack but I’m moderating it. Before, I’d snack mainly in the evening in front of the telly which always lead to binge 
You are having over 40 days which is super awesome. You’re doing very well! Remember that it may take some time before you eat “perfectly”. It’s a huge change to go from binging, so it is normal that it requires time to adapt to new habits and lifestyle. The brain naturally desires what it was used for and now you’re trying to reprogram it. It’s a big thing! But you’re doing it with each step to the right direction
2 months and 9 days without binging 
Ok, time to address my sugar addiction 
I remember when I stopped eating sweets for almost a month and I felt AWESOME 
I’m a bit scared that by refusing to eat sugar, I will be basically restricting, therefore eating in a disordered way..? I’m a bit confused here, maybe something to address tomorrow on my last therapy session.
One thing I know for sure - I don’t want to eat sugar in the amount I am eating it now. Although I am not gaining weight it just doesn’t feel good and it’s a slippery road. So I need to look into this and figure out what I can do about it.
Happy Saturday everyone

Not sure on day
Good morning! I am not 100% sure what day Im on. Im thinking of just restarting so I can be more accurate on my timer. Im not too far along at all, I know that.
As some of u may know, I have been struggling for some time with food. I have been using food for the wrong reasons but last night I had a good cry. And i realized that what I really needed, wasnt food, it was to just FEEL. I needed to acknowledge my feelings instead of shoving them inside and ignoring them. It felt sooo good to cry.
Today I am working on better choices. I did bring my usual healthy food for lunch for work. I did purchase a coffee this morning but instead of a donut, i bought a blueberry muffin (still not the BEST choice but better than a donut I guess). Small changes to get me back to where Id like to be. I am mentally feeling a bit better.
I also realized (with the help of a friend) that when I eat “poorly” I experience a lot of guilt. Mainly bcuz i want to get healthy for me and my son (I want to live a long life for him). So when i binge or experience disordered eating, i feel sooo guilty that Im messing things up for me and my son. But then i end up eating worse bcuz i feel guilty and dont like that emotion. So i use food to cope. Its a vicious cycle.
Anyway, I looked up online OA meetings. Idk if I will fit into this group, but thought Id check them out. Idk if Im really an overeater persay but i do experience issues with food obviously. I will check one out next week 
Any support will be helpful i think.

I love that you give yourself permission to feel. IMO that is one of the bravest things.
Way to go trying OA! I hope you feel that the group is good for You. You deserve it

Thank you so much!!! I know that the 12 steps of NA/AA helped me immensely with my drug addiction, so since OA follows the same principals, i feel like it may help to some extent. How are YOU doing friend?

I am doing well! Eating is okay (still struggling with snacking and some days my ketosis isn’t as deep as I would like it to be).
Working out ist going GREAT! I got myself a rowing machine (it’s a girl and I call her Row-sa ), and I use it almost every day. That is a big improvement for me. Working out was always a huge challenge for me, but now I found something that feels really good. I hope I can stay consistent.
I struggled emotionally some days after my Mom‘s birthday. But now I‘m stable again.
Thank you for asking, friend! I am so happy to have you here

So i did it! I went to my 1st OA meeting. I wasnt planning on going today but i am alone at work, my client is away on a home visit, and all im doing is cleaning and laundry (which is complete). So i looked one up and I joined! It was FANTASTIC! I shared a little bit. But listened for most of it. Lots of people from other fellowships (who also belonged to OA) were there. So i didnt feel so alone. I felt kind of like I was “home” sort of. Very friendly people too. Im glad I went.
