Hey guys
I have 8 days without a binge and Iām starting 6th day without sweets and chocolate. So far itās going pretty well.
I felt stressed yesterday because I am waiting for a second consultation re being in a risk of redundancy, but I didnāt try to suppress my feelings by any food. I even put too much on my plate for dinner and didnāt finish it because of it. Before, Iād force it. It feels so good! I donāt even think about more food after a dinner time anymore now. I guess that Iām building a new habit. I know itās fragile and that I need to stay alerted, not to get too comfy. In the same time I appreciate every success and doing my best not to let the fear from failure creep in too much.
Happy Tuesday and please, wish me luck 
I need to hear from my HR today or tomorrow. I want to have it done before my holiday in Czech

9 days without binge
6 days without sweets
I was stressed yesterday and I instantly had cravings to be snacking. But I realised that the day is stressful for me and connected my stress to my cravings and that helped me to justify not acting on them. I decided that I donāt want to deal with my stress by trying to supersede it by eating. Thereās no solution to anything in food and it wonāt change my mood to better (not for long anyway) and it would only add on once Iād have to face consequences from that mindless eating. Once I admitted to myself that I am stressed and decided not to act on it, then the cravings eased up. It didnāt go fully away, but I could cope and make good food choices through the day
I feel really good about the way I am eating and about how I am managing to stay binge and sweets -free. I didnāt have to use much of willpower so far, because I can see why I am doing this and how useless and unhelpful it is to do otherwise. I reviewed this tool of using food as a coping mechanism and found it not only no longer working, but even causing me troubles.
Part of me is scared of failure because in my past I failed this process big times. But further I am getting - I get more confident and a little bit less scared with every new day in which Iāve been successful. I am slowly building trust in myself and my abilities. I am also taking it a day by day and I am trying not to look too far in the future just yet. Of course I know that I want this lifestyle for life. But I am careful not to overwhelm myself, itās not necessary.
I am leaving to the Czech Republic on Friday. My partner and I will be at the airport many hours before our flight so we decided that weāll go to a lounge. The food and drinks are free in there. It was my first worry, because I usually feel like I must eat as much as I can when thereās somewhere free food 
But after the initial panic I realised that I donāt have to do that. I can have a breakfast in there but otherwise I can just sit in there with a cup of tea or coffee and read a book. I am going to be ok. I am sure there is no need to over-eat before my flight. I will feel good at the other side if I donāt do it

Absolutely beautiful. Your selfcare and self acceptance are tender and powerful at the same time. Look at what you can do girl 
Be very proud of yourself and enjoy the freedom that is coming with saying āNo, I donāt need to eat right now. I can decide not to eat.ā
(BTW I think that IS already willpower, and big time).
Much love!

Have a peaceful day everyone. Please wish me luck with my job interview today.

Sooooo many great things in this one post 
Congratulations on being free from smoking 
(I bet you donāt miss this stinky habit) and on beautiful 2 MONTHS! without binging 
You are incredible! 
I believe you can crack sugar-free as well. I needed to stop eat sugar mainly because itās the main thing I would binge on. But it seems to be bringing many more benefits. Hope youāll find it useful and enjoyable too 
Wishing you all the best with your job interview! Hope it will be a pleasant experience with a desired results

So happy about the good news!
My interview went well. I liked the people and what they told me about the job at the NGO.
They will let me know in 2-3 weeks.
If they choose me: Yay! If not, it will be for the better and Iāll trust the process. They are very professional and know who they need. If itās not me and what I can offer, itās better they choose someone else
So either way will be the right way.

Thatās a great way to think about it. Youāre very smart I hope itās a good job suitable for you and that you will get it Let us know once you hear back
I am going to be waiting for some details to be sorted as my contract needs to change. I may get a new role which I requested but it depends on if we will have a replacement for my current role. They will allow me to work from home full time for 6 months and then weāll review. The thing is that the London offices are closing down and the new office is 2.5 hours by car away from my place. So I donāt want to commute at all if I donāt have to. I donāt worry about my performance when WFH because I am pretty good at it. But I am not sure if I am maybe going to miss a little bit of socialising with my colleagues. I may start thinking about buying a car and going to the office once a month or so..
But now I will just sit back, take a deep breath after all the stress and anxiety, and enjoy my time with my family. My partner and I are leaving to Czech on Friday

Good morning
Iām very happy. Iāve got 10 days without a binge and 1 week without sugar!
I had quite strong cravings for shortbread biscuits which my dad-in-law brought earlier that day but I kept thinking about what everything would it cause if I ate them and that helped me to stay away from them.
For example I knew that I was likely to binge on them. So that would be both my counters down to resetting. I would then also struggle in Czech and would be tempted to keep eating sugar there too. I would then postpone quoting sugar until after my holiday. Iād likely get out of vagĆ³n and Iād binge and more and more negative things would occur so the biscuits werenāt worth eating.
My brain tried to persuade me that having biscuits as a celebration of keeping my job was ok. But I told him that eating a biscuit or any type of food in fact isnāt how I want to celebrate things. There are other ways for sure.
