It makes me smile as well, that’s why I choose it. It reminds me to not take myself to serious

I love insight timer. I’ve used a lot of meditation apps, from paid to free, and I think this one is definitely the best. Or, at least it was. I haven’t used it in a while and I heard they were getting rid of user made groups, which I thought was part of what made it great vs having to use a social media for groups.

Lot’s of us use it on that meditation for serenity thread. I was using Calm I think it was. But Stella convinced me Insight timer was the way to go. I love the fact I can search for anything and find something.

Checking in…
Feeling really solid these days on this journey. Last weekend I went into a quaint little candy shop and bought some gifts for my family. I didnt even realize until we were riding home that the thought hadnt even crossed my mind of “oh god i want that.” Or " ugh I bet that tastes so good." Or " those are my favorite." No thoughts at all pertaining to myself and the candy. That was a first that I can remember.

Atta gurl!!
I wouldn’t say I’m struggling. But it is a bit harder to start over again. So keep up the great work!

Calm was okay. My credit card gave me a free year. I canceled it half way through. They have nice sounds, but not worth paying for, IMHO. Stella clearly knows what she’s talking about (not that I would ever doubt 
)

I forgot to post my 3 weeks of no added sugar.
So…. Since I’m not thinking about the day counter. And I’m just not doing sugar, I thought it would be fun to look at my counter. And do some haphazard math.
I got 23 days no sugar today.
I had 346 days no sugar before I took off about 3 weeks-ish. That 369 with a few weeks off. So I got over a year but not consecutive. And I think that should count for something. 
Anyway……. 23 consecutive days today.

I quit sugar about 6 months ago ( im sure its more near to a yr but i didnt ever set a timer for this), well i dont know if its classed as totally sugar free for me, i just dont use, buy or add sugar to anything but if its already in something i guess i am eating it ?
Like i dont look on the packaging for sugar content amounts like i do calories.
Congratulations on 23 days and i think generally just cutting out as much sugar as possible is a good goal, to make that life style change - the benefits of just doing that are great, so a day off isnt going to impact health much so dont make yourself feel bad for it.
I am not a dr, so if its for serious health conditions this may impact ones health.
Definitely those 346 days counts 
Il still have the rare piece of cake and wont feel bad for it i just cant eat as much as before as it can taste too sweet after a bit.
Like i noticed a monster energy drink has around 240 calories aprox then the no sugar version has 10 calories 
its shocking.
I used to use alot when i add it up. 3 spoons in tea or coffee and lots of cups a day which i no longer drink.
Certain cereals id use so much.
Since cutting out sugar has anyone else noticed they can taste the salt or sugar already in certain foods now ? I have where as before i couldnt.
Thats the next thing for me cutting down salt intake !!

#Day 1 no sugar
Came home tired yesterday and ate all I could find. So I’ve reset my sugar counter. Had 8 days.
I think I find my life more boring if I can’t reward myself ones in a while with sweets 
I do not drink
I do not smoke
I do no drugs
So I like to tread myself with sweets and buying stuff sometimes.
If I’m not allowed to I’m to harsh for myself.
Is this true ore is that the talk of my addiction?
I think a bit of both.
Any thoughts and help?

I’ve always been a treat myself with food kind of a guy. Or drinks. I always treated myself with drinks. I don’t do that anymore and neither do you.
Not sure what else to say 
I guess with me if I had some chocolate or cookies or ice cream in the house and I started in on it I know I would binge on it like booze. Maybe I treat myself now with a feeling of accomplishment and knowing I just can’t have even a little. And maybe like booze. My wife has her booze in the house as you know. She also has her I cream and chocolates in the house. And I just can’t touch them. Ya I’m super human. maybe having that temptation in the house has been a good thing for me. Because I know if I start in on her chocolate chip ice cream. My fav by the way. I won’t stop till it’s gone.
