145 days no ice cream.
30 days no sugar.
5 days no crisps, no binge-eating.
0 days no takeaways.

So I managed not to have one on Monday, but I think that was only because I had leftovers that I decided to eat instead of waste. I’ve had one every night since then too. Continuing to use despite negative consequences is where I am at once again with the takeaways.

I had to be very assertive yesterday, because the diabetes nurse hadn’t even requested bloods ahead of our phonecall next Tuesday. Thankfully I do get on quite well with the nurse that does my testosterone shots, and she did agree to do the bloods once I explained how the past few months have been and that I have a scheduled appointment for my diabetes on Tuesday.

I wasn’t going to check-in until I’d got back on track, but I think it’s helpful regardless of how I’m doing.

@CATMANCAM The idea of not checking in until … (fill in the blanks) is IMO a part of addiction. It is this thought that you can present yourself to the world only if … This is a very toxic thought. It took me quite a while to understand that. As long as you have parts of you, you feel like you need to hide from everyone, your addiction has a hold on you. At least that is my experience. Good job on checking in despite those thoughts and your troubles :muscle:

The timer tells me no UltraProcessedFood since 8 months. I remember trying gluten free bread at that time. It didnā€˜t suit me. Iā€˜m glad that stuff is no longer part of my eating.
Iā€˜m feeling slightly better today than the last days. Thank you all for caring :mending_heart:

@acromouse very true, maybe this is how I should also view my not going for walks because I don’t want to be seen at the size I am. Thanks for your support. 🩵

146 days no ice cream.
6 days no crisps, no binge-eating.
0 days no takeaways, no sugar.

I decided last night was going to be my last takeaway, because I’ve now had all of my addict’s ā€œfavouriteā€ ones. Last night I even had a small dessert, there definitely would have been a bit of sugar in it, so I’ve reset that counter too.

I am determined to check-in with 1 day tomorrow morning. The interesting thing about last night was; the portions are small, and I was hungry, but I struggled to eat much of it, so I had to eat the rest later on. I am hoping this is because Thursday night was my first night completely off my first medication, and if so, this will make things much easier going forwards. :crossed_fingers:t2:

@Sissychris39 congrats on your week :tada:

147 days no ice cream.
7 days no crisps, no binge-eating.
1 day no sugar.
0 days no takeaways.

I let myself down yesterday evening :pensive:

I was so sure I wasn’t going to continue to harm myself with junk food. I really hate it when I can’t trust myself.

I accept that this is a very difficult time of year for me, for a multitude of reasons. It was this time in 2021 when I relapsed on cocaine aftrer 459 days.

I’ve got zero self-respect at the moment and I am basically living like an animal. I take care of my cats, but severely neglect myself. I don’t know why but I just seem to get worse not better.

Everything just feels so overwhelming, there’s so many things I used to do as part of my daily routine, I just don’t feel like I’ve got the energy to do any of it. I don’t know how to go about trying to build things back in, and more.
