Thank you, Daniela. I am looking forward to it. Hopefully it will go well. At least, it should be nice to talk about my issue to someone.

Day 64 smoke free, 43 binge free, 6 snacking free.
I discovered some more piece of the puzzle for my sober journey:
- Planning my meals when I am not hungry
- Having in mind how long it needs to prepare them
- Start preparing them before I am too hungry
This way, I hope to free myself from constant food decisions and spare myself the struggle of resisting whatever is close at hand when hunger hits.
Have a peaceful day everyone!

Hello guys
Sorry, but I need to ventilate a bit. I am still waiting for my second consultation re being in risk of redundancy. I thought this would be sorted a bit faster but now it seems that Iāll have to wait till after new year before I know where I stand. That makes me super anxious.
My partner also f*cked something apparently big up at his work and is super stressed himself so I donāt want to talk to him about my feelings and make him feeling worse or something. Thatās why I am texting here.
Lately I feel so lost in so many ways. Before I felt like I was overexercising, now I feel like super lazy. Iām finding difficult getting out of the bed in the morning, making any wise eating plans, kinda over-eating, sometimes binging, but mainly I feel so low in my mood which is so not much like me. I think I felt similarly to this when I used to drink. Maybe itās just stress. I think that being in this uncertainty is the worst. I am trying not to spend any money, because I am constantly thinking about the fact I may be jobless and so I need to save. In the same time itās Xmas and people are making plans which involve some money spending. I donāt know if I should just remove myself from meeting up with people and stay at home, or go out and try to forget about this allā¦ In the same time I donāt want to face people and their questions about my job. Ugh. I just want to hide 
Sorry for this post. I know itās super negative but I needed to let it out somewhere and I donāt really know where else.

If it is in the news that the company youāre working for is going to close or something like that then of course itās natural for people to ask you about your job and your answer. I guess could certainly be āyou donāt knowā and you could add that itās upsetting to talk about it. Iām sorry that you and your husband have uncertainty about your jobs. Unfortunately it seems like itās so much the way of the world right now. I hope that the new year will bring stability.
Your knowab have too much stuff. Sometimes a written card might be a nice gift then something picked up for someone just because you felt like you had to even though giving in itself is a nice gesture. Words on a card are also a nice gesture.
Youāve got several things that are bogging you down. You just have to try to do your best to rise above the uncertainty and try to do some things that you and your partner enjoy. Big hugs for you and holiday wishes particularly stability in your future.

I tried to edit that and I have a very big difficulty with the site trying to edit anything and it was messing up what I had already written and I couldnāt go back and change that either so please try to read between the lines
You should read that you know we all have too much stuff.

I think that I now know the reason for my low mood. As mentioned before, Iām finding myself lately very lazy and difficult to get ny body up from the bed in the morning. I experience this since my return from Vietnam when I struggled with jetlag. I havenāt returned to my routine since. And thatās the issue. The redundancy thing affects me as well, of course. But today I finally forced myself to get up early and go for a run before work and I realised how much I needed this! I immediately feel so much better and more positive I am just missing my routine and movement. I think that I ever become a lazy person, I will end up depressed. I really need outdoor world and active life to keep sane and happy

Day 66 smoke free, 45 binge eating free.
Last night, snacking showed up again. I gave in and regretted it. What my body actually needed was a warm cup of tea, a deep breath and a hug, not food.
It was emotional eating, not a binge, thankfully. So itās back to square one with the snack timerā¦
Have a peaceful day everyone!

Good morning and Merry Christmas 
Today I have my first therapy session later in the afternoon I binged yesterday, so itās about time. Itās probably the best present I could have gave to myself. Now I am praying that it works miracles for me

Day 67 smoke free, 46 binge free, 1 snacking free
I am over the moon and deeply grateful that Iām spending these Christmas days without binging or snacking. Food is everywhere and there are constant opportunities to eat, yet Iām staying binge-free and snacking-free with no great effort. What a gift. Not long ago, this would have been unthinkable.
Have a peaceful day everyone, especially if you struggle with the holidays. You are enough and loved just the way you are
