I am proud of you! I hope it is a good match. I think we all have felt like burying our heads in the sand (or up our ass) because working through it is not easy! But future Jana will be thanking current Jana

Day 61 smoke free, 40 binge free, 3 snacking free.
Not snacking was hard yesterday. Heavy food noise. It sucks. Today I am focusing again on having three healthy meals and no snacking between.
Have a peaceful and happy day everyone!

Your plan and your way for you, I get that.
I also know that many “healthy eating plans” include healthy snacks.
If the not snacking is too hard, or seems torturous, you might consider including one or two bona fide healthy snacks.

Hey Alisa, thank you so much for your thoughtful tip!
I tried out healthy snacks and no snacking. I found out that for my stomach and guts and for the food noise, three solid meals with longer pauses between are the best. It´s only day four of no snacking, so I hope it will get easier. If not, I definetly will give healthy snacks another chance.
How are you doing? I love seeing your pictures on the foodie thread, it always looks fresh, healthy, colourful and so tasty!

Today I am working on “Just Today”. Literally. I have been doing soooo poorly with my ED. It truly doesnt help that the holidays are filled with chocolate and treats and pastries etc. My will power has been practically non existent. I know I have gained weight, which is disappointing bcuz I worked sooo hard to lose the weight the previous months. But thankfully, weight can fluctuate and change. Its not permanent and so I know I can make improvements moving forward.
I am making changes as of today. I started my day out not great, as I had 3 chocolates with my coffee. But then I smartened up and ate a healthier breakfast later on. I have been more active today and not laying down for long periods of time. I am doing my daily routine and have signed up for my ED zoom group tomorrow which I will attend. I am feeling better about things today but I know that I have to stay focused on not overeating, or eating out of boredom, or eating my emotions away, or binge eating on sweets.
I have had binge eating episodes recently. My husband even commented on it, so thats when I know its gotten bad. There was a box of these muffin type cookie things and I ate 4 in 1 sitting (there was only 5 to a box). My husband noticed that the box was gone and he was shocked when I told him that I had eaten them all. I did feel embarassed but more concerned about my health. I have bought chocolate and hid it from my husband and have eaten it when hes not around. I had eaten a Ben and Jerrys tub of icecream in one sitting last night. Its gotten bad 
But like I said… Im honestly more concerned about my health. I am the only one that can change my habits. So i HAVE to start somewhere and get back on track. Thankfully i stopped at 3 chocolates this morning. I wont be eating any more of them. Im done feeling this way. I just needed to open up and be honest with people who understand and wont judge me or act all shocked or disappointed or whatever. Im already feeling pretty sad about it myself. Maybe I need to be here on this thread more often. Idk. Thanks for reading

Thank you so much for your honesty and for trusting us. You are safe and seen 
Binge eating is a hard one. I know how overwhelming it can be, I know the shame. But I also know: The eating disorder does not define who you are. Weight doesn’t define your worth. Your food choices are not your identity.
I love that you came back here and find a way to take care of yourself. Being aware is a way of self care and self parenting. Give yourself the best treatment you can, be gentle and loving towards yourself. You deserve it.
I cover you in sunshine

Day 62 smoke free, 41 binge free, 4 snacking free.
My day started with a little migraine, but a walk in the park and one IBU helped. Looking forward to a concert tonight and spending time with friends.
@Butterflymoonwoman How are you doing today? Sending warm hugs!
@Jana1988 I am so excited and happy for you that your first therapy session is coming closer! Hope you also feel good about it!
