The initial high of letting go of ancient history has worn off, but I've continued to purchase no sweets at the grocery store, no chocolate, cookies, etc. In fact, I am walking past the no-no's without stopping and when my eyes happen to fall on something that's a trigger for me I look the other way at something else and don't obsess. I'm unable to be abstinent right now, but am cutting back and trying to let go of self-bashing.
Someone I spoke to said, as I continue to work the program, I could find that the rollercoaster of binging won't be as drastic as before and gradually it might swing less and less until I level out to a healthy median.
I think it might take me longer than I first thought, because I am older now and my metabolism is changing and I didn't lose the weight before reaching this point. I just hope that exercise will help get the metabolism running faster and eventually I'll see progress in fitness.
There is still work to be done, other things to tackle. Progress, not perfection...
