Learnt my lesson about Costco trips, and made sure to have some miso soup rice with my hotdog, and avoided mindless snacking in the evening. There are some beignets in the fridge to help train me in moderation.

Day 10: Failed.. I think in reality I failed day 9 and just hoped it wouldnāt roll over to day 10 but it did. Long story short is I accidentally forgot to put my meal prep stuff in the fridge and when I found it later in the day I used that as my excuse to go eat fast food and got too much. On top of that, I let the lunch binge carry on to dinner and evening snacking too. So I guess tomorrow Iāll get another shot at day 1

Checking in. My struggles are still the same as before, eating unhealthy breakfasts and not exercising enough. I can say today was day 1 of a healthy breakfast eating overnight oats. But then I followed it with eating a hotdog bun with nothing on it (what the heck?!). I am due for some labwork and then maybe my A1C level will kick my butt to do better. I just have to be fasting when I go, which means before I have coffee with milk. So I have to force myself to do it. Iāll try for next week. Oh, and another health issue has come up. I had an abnormal mammogram and need to go in for more images and an ultrasound in a week and a half. There is a small 5mm abnormality. Iām trying not to think about it. Meanwhile Iāll try to stack up some days where I donāt just snack for breakfast. Wish me luck. Iāll boil up some eggs to have handy but I really like something sweet to go with coffee.

Donāt forget we learn way more from our failures than from our successes. Use it as an opportunity to get to know yourself and donāt judge, just investigate.

Hi everyone,
CW: medical issues, GI issues
TLDR: I have had multiple health issues which have prevented me from binging.
Iāve been gone from this sub for about a month, mostly due to having a plethora of health issues, one of them being the worst IBS flare up Iāve ever had and is still not totally fixed.
I have been having cognitive issues (short term memory loss, doing things more than once because I forget that I did them, complete inability to focus and not get distracted, blanking on words I want to use in conversation; difficulty understanding a story if not spelled out for me.) these symptoms started about 18 months ago and seem to be getting worse. I went to neuro and did fine on those tests and I have no signs of dementia or anything like that, but I have to go to neuropsych, get an MRI, and a sleep clinic. I have lifestyle changes I need to work on, but right now I am pretty much at peak capacity, so adding the stress of mindfulness is on pause.
Then in no particular order i had iritis, so ER visit and several opthalmologist appts; heartburn which leads to coughing fits every night; blood draws, endoscopy and x rays to look for anything abnormal (nothing found).
While all of these things were popping up, I had an insane month-long IBS-M flareup, which I think was triggered by a GI infection (high white blood cell count). It started with horrible heartburn, and the usual seesaw of constipation/diarrhea, then the cramping started which Iāve never had before. At first it just happened after I ate, but eventually it became constant and at the peak it was an 8 on the pain scale. We had to drive back from a short vacation because I was in so much pain. I was basically bed bound for 3 days. Iāve been very gradually recovering (thanks Citrucel!) but I am still having uncomfortable cramps after I eat or use the bathroom.
On the bright side, Ive been mostly too sick to overeat, so I have lost 10 lbs. Not in a healthy way but I will take the win because I can fit into a lot of my clothes again and that was my main goal and is motivating as I return to normal. Iām doing another low FODMAP trial soon (couldnāt ID triggers last time) and I know itās gonna suck.

Oh man, Iām sorry that youāre dealing with such awful gut and brain issues and severe pain. It also sucks when doctors canāt find anything wrong when youāre clearly suffering.
Sending supportive hugs your way.

Good beautiful morning 
(at least here in London the sunshine is starting to peak through the clouds)
Despite binging on ice-cream & chocolate yesterday, I had a totally fantastic birthday weekend! 
My boyfriend spoiled me and did anything I wished for 
- heās a sweetheart 
And I went cycling with my cycling club yesterday and managed to not only keep up with our fast group, but even perform better than some of them guys! Iām now officially the only lady in the fast group 
Itās a big achievement for me 
Sorry, I know itās not related to this topic but I thought that I would share something positive 
I hope to get back on track from today on. I am travelling to the Czech Republic this Saturday. Iām going to visit my family and stay until Wednesday 30.7. My plan was to be binge free at least for a month before I go there, so I would have firm foundation to do well in Czech too. That idea was fading away as days were passing by and I kept binging through them 
Now I wonāt have even a week, but I can still have at least 5 days if I start NOW.
I found it difficult to not to binge yesterday, because I cycled that 90km and burnt many calories. I was a bit hyperglycaemic at the end of the ride and had to have some sugar to get my ass back home from a coffee shop at which we stopped for refreshments. Then my boyfriendās parents visited us and brought some food which needed to be cooked so I was a bit hungry for a few hours before it was served and despite my intentions not to eat it in a hurry, I ate it fairly quickly. I unlikely eat slowly and mindfully when I am hungry.. And after that my boyfriend ordered the ice-cream, he ordered 3 different flavours and I definitely had a go on these! Oh dear.. After his parents left I decided to open a chocolate Iāve got for my bāday and ate most of it in front of the telly. I still had a banana at 11pm 
In terms of calories, I donāt think I ate over what I burnt. But obviously Iād rather eat them at different time and for sure in different form. I really must start thinking ahead before the Sunday rides because otherwise Iāll keep strugglingā¦
But today is a new day and Iām trying to think about it like about a new start. Trying to remember that Iām in control of my decisions and that I ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE. That the voice in my head isnāt always me, and unlike my mum, it doesnāt always want the best for me. So here we go!
Happy Monday and wishing you all a successful start to this new week
