Sorry for not posting the count yesterday but I fell asleep. I worked about 35 hours from Thursday morning until Saturday morning and as my daughter had gone out and my wife was working, I couldn't get hardly any rest with my boy on the rampage. We went out and met up with the others later and after dinner I went for a rest but crashed out for 11 hours. I think my body was saying that it needed some sleep.
Up bright and early today, it has rained and been grey for the last couple of days but it looks nice and sunny this morning. I will try and raise my daughter to see if she will come for a run with me but either way I am going out.
Cali(sharkbait), your post was full of suspense and I hope you are okay.
Don't worry about discouraging anyone Nina, your posts can only be beneficial.
Isn't it strange that if we eat something we shouldn't we write off the day as if that is an excuse to eat all around. The promise being that we will start afresh tomorrow.
It only takes a second, hope you are okay today as well Nina.
Best wishes to all.

Nina:
I again want to say that I hope that I haven't really discouraged anyone here, because it really isn't worth it. I wish that I hadn't eaten anything with sugar. So here I go again. I'll keep trying again & again until I get it right. I really do want to feel good again & healthy. Thanks for listening.
(((Nina))) what I hear in that post is:

Experience-that you did it, and it's not worth it--
Strength-that you have courage and will try again
Hope-that you do want to feel good and be healthy!!!!

Thank you for reassuring me that if I fall, I can come back here and be accepted, no matter what!!! You helped me so much today!!

Dave--I see "sharkbait" and of course think of Finding Nemo LOL
either that or you plan on feeding me to the sharks? (I doubt that)

Today it is really nice again. I want to enjoy it but I also need to accomplish some domestic chores...I hope I find Balance!

Nina....ditto for me on what Dave and Cali say...keep coming back. I cannot stay OS sober by myself.

The weekend has been OS good...and for that I am grateful. I am hopeful for clear thinking today, to abstain from my errant ways...and I am willing to ask my HP for help ridding me of my charactor defects....Take care all.

I need to remind myself to stay in the today....it's so easy to find myself whisked away from that very simple, not always easy, but CRUCIAL (for me) principle..

I ate too much last night and felt really sick..so sick I had to just go to bed early..I hope I don't do that again. I didn't eat anything "bad" I just ate too much of this and that. I had weird dreams too. I think I have a food hangover?

Today I will really try to stay on track, and stay in the day!

I had a choice last night after a card game...nothing, sherbert, or toffee ice cream. I binged on the last one. Dave, please reboot me to Day 2. Thank you.

I am going to leave the house and run at 6AM. I wished I hadn't binged last night...my stomach feels bloated...and I know I gave into at least three temptations...one...to fill the hole in the sole with a high sugar content "food"...two....that it was OK for me to have just a little because it really wasn't an OS...and three...that once I did binge...I didn't need to be honest about with another human being.

Well, l must get honest with my addictions with me and you...I will try again today to be OS freee. Thank you for being here for me.

For me, if I don't get honest I may as well pack it in now!
Good job on "pulling your covers"

I can't believe I am sitting here waffling over 3 peices of toffee! It's really hard to walk past a candy dish everytime I leave and enter the office. OK - there are 3 doors...I need to use a different door.

This is hard.

Hi ananda-
Yes, that is a toughie! Using another door sounds like a great step to not be tempted by that dang candie dish!! I work on the second floor of a building that my boss owns. I found out recently that they are opening a liquor store on the ground level...I hope the other back entrance will still be available because I don't want to walk by it twice a day if I don't need to...
You can do it!! Good job for checking in!

another benefit of no sugar is I know I won't do more damage to my teeth by over consumption of it...I have had a lot of work done to my teeth..I went for a cleaning today..no cavaties but a hairline crack in one of my front crowns

wow-I am thinking of all the garbage I used to eat....like all the time......
just for today, I don't have to eat things that are bad for me, and make me feel bad inside---that could all change when I leave the office....if it does, I'll come here and let it out before taking it in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also have to also say that there is one woman that I know that is really on the same path we are and is really "gung ho" about it and has been for "years"....I remember rolling my eyes inside sometimes when she spoke....I didn't mean to, and I really like her, just sometimes I did NOT want to hear it....
if I get over bearing you guys let me know ok?? I mean if there are eye balls rolling, I wanna know about it LOL

You won't get overbearing, don't worry about that Cali.Just a few days until the 100 and when I first joined this thread you were in a similar position. So with no alcohol or cigarettes and the huge amount of OS free days in the last year, you are doing fantastic Cali. What about the coffee? Is that still off limits?
I was supposed to pick up my new bike today but when I got there they didn't have it. I planned to cycle to my boys school to get him, and then walk home with him from there. Instead I had to get the bus so I wasn't best pleased.
Eaten pretty good so far, if I have any sense I will get an early night as I have an early start in the morning. Best wishes one and all.
