I am looking forward to coming home to my routines. Van life is fun, but I miss my kitchen supplies and some room to cook and prepare my meals.
Today itās sunny and I am having a day at the beautiful pool with my daughter. Sheās enjoying the relaxed days and I am happy she has a good time.
Have a peaceful day, everyone

Urgh, really feeling the binge cravings today. Daughter woke me up at midnight for an evening stroll with her friend who was staying over, then son forgot to turn off school alarm which goes off at 5:30 which woke me up, so physically tired, and just full of resentment in my relationship too, so emotionally tired too.

I am always looking forward to being back home 
from holiday, too since my partner and I have our own place 
I think that people who are looking forward to being back home from holiday are lucky, because it means that theyāre happy in their ānormalā life since theyāre missing it. People who donāt want to come back probably need to change something.
I still find it interesting that as a young girl I always longed to live abroad. Whenever I was returning from holiday I was crying and my heart hurt. It wasnāt that I was unhappy at home, just that my heart desired the experience of living in a different country. When I then finally moved to the UK I was unbelievably excited and really happy that I made my biggest dream to come true. I havenāt longed for anything else that much since and I remain very excited and happy living abroad. It was the right thing to do for me. Although I do miss my family and home I had in the Czech Republic, thereās nothing else I miss about it. I am extremely satisfied living here and I wouldnāt change it. My heart didnāt lie to me and even though it was bitter sweet to leave everything I knew behind, I never regreted the choice. Yet, I can honestly say that pursuing my dream wasnāt all pink cloud, it was tough at times, and it was the kind of journey that Iād need to write a book if I wanted to describe it.
I guess itās like this with everything. We wish to stop binging and although we want that so so much, we struggle and are finding it hard. Weāve got our old habits and comfort in the way and sometimes it feels easier to just give into our cravings than choosing the path to our happier better self. Choosing a better life for ourselves, the one to which weāre going to be looking forward to getting back from holiday does take some effort and perhaps a little bit of willpower before we finally make it the new ānormalā. It will be tough, it will be painful and despite it being something we deep down want, it will be unpleasant at times. And we must remember the bigger picture of WHY we are doing this to get through the hard times of āhome sicknessā. But after some time of living in the new environment we will get eventually comfortable and then we can enjoy the fruit of not giving up and making our dream to come true

Sorry to hear that @Misokatsu
I also went through cravings yesterday and ended up having some sweets I didnāt want, my stomach hurt later at night from it as a reminder of why I shouldnāt eat this crap anymore. But at least I didnāt binge.
I am sorry to hear about your relationship not being at the right place and I hope that it will change for you
I know you can get through this and not act on your cravings. Sending you my love ang hugs

I thought i should maybe be more involved with this thread. I am finding myself sort of getting complacent on my food recovery, making excuses as to why i can indulge on sweets etc. Yesterday was my sons bday party and i did have a piece of cake durinf the party. But that triggered me wanting more later on in the evening. And thenā¦ while packing my work lunch, i even packed a slice for work today (but ended up choosing to discard it, so thatās good). I went to Tim Hortons this morning before work and was going to get a donut or bagel or muffin, but chose to only have my iced coffee instead.
Its amazing how 1 is too many and 1000 is never enough when it comes to food for me. I just cant eat any of it otherwise it triggers me to want more. I make excuses like, āOh, ill start back on Mondayā or āI can have some of this bcuz its a birthdayā or āI already messed up today so might as well eat the rest of thisā etc.
I forget how serious this disease of food addiction is. Its a slow, hard early death for me. Gotta get my sh!t together 
Anyway, have a fantastic day friends. Will check in tomorrow!

233 smoke free, 19 binge free, 4 sugar free.
Iām taking some time for myself today to truly recharge. Itās the last week before my new job starts. Iām really excited about it, and at the same time, I have a healthy respect for it, but I know I can do it.
Lately, Iāve been thinking a lot about what a ābingeā actually means to me, and I realized that over the past six months, Iāve rarely had a real binge episode. I am so grateful for that, and Iām proud of myself for making so much progress. Emotional eating is still something I want to work on, but the fact that I was able to reduce my binge episodes so significantly gives me hope that Iāll conquer emotional eating too.
Have a peaceful day, friends

Started eating better today. My husband gave me extra money for groceries and so I was able to purchase some of the things I need to eat better. Money has been tight on my end due to Fathers day and my sons bday, and so I havent had much for my foods. Anyway, I had a healthy, well portioned out breakfast just now (1 protein pancake, 2 eggs, and 1/2 cup of berries on top with 2 tbsp of sugar free syrup). Lunch will be a tuna sanwich on ww bread and a yogurt cup. Havent decided on supper yet. I also have not attended an OA meeting for some time, so will go to one today. I am realizing that im very much a perfectionist when it comes to food (which is actually doing me a diservice). I reset my timer for everythingā¦ for example, eating 1 piece of chocolate that doesnt even end up in a binge. Obviously if i overate or binged or ate out of emotion or boredom etc, that to me, would qualify for a reset. But eating 1 piece of chocolate or a piece of candy? Does it really need to qualify as a reset? Im starting not to think so. I think me trying to be perfect with food is unrealistic. To say Ill never eat chocolate again for the rest of my life is unrealistic for sure.
I will also be starting back on Ozempic this week at the lowest dose (since it is now generic and A LOT cheaper). So im hoping that helps as well, along with my other med for my binge eating disorder (used as needed) and my OA meetings.
Anyway, these are just some thoughts that Ive been stewing over lol Have a great day everyone!
