Yeah, I'm still OS free since Monday. Yesterday was a bit harder but knowing I am accountable to you guys helped me through it. I put a bag a fresh grapes in my fridge so when I was craving sweet, I just grabbed a handful of those. Worked for today!!!

Anana, I hear you on the feelings of not being worth it. That is the biggest trigger for me. When I get stressed I say the heck with it and 'not worth it' self talk starts flowing in my head.
I just divorced (finalized less then a month ago). We were married 17 years (separated the last 3). He was an addict - so slowly being sucked into the codependent survival brain, I learned a ton of 'I'm not worth it' self talk that I can pull from to aid in my sugar binge.
New self talk records need to be made for me to pull from. Then the trick will be pulling up the right ones when I get stressed.
