Goodness me, part way through gym class, the addict part of my brain started suggesting to me that an ice cream binge was a great idea.

That when gym class was done I could go home via the shop and pick up a couple litres of Ben&Jerrys.

Absolutely insane. I ignored it like the bratty kid it is. So it stopped.

Peaceful I have begun to suspect that what you say about the fluid nature of addiction is true. Freeing myself from the sugar and the processed carbs is just a beginning I predict many further refinements.

My beautiful Sunny. I love you. We will get there. Not on your own.

Sending good thoughts to you.
Thank you. I just find it so confusing why I would pick pain over clarity, energy and love? Those 17 days were amazing. I was on top of the world. Why would I want to ruin that?

I prayed this morning and am going to do everything I can to stay on track today. I just want to feel good again. It would be so much easier if I didn't have to keep trigger foods in the house for the kids. If I could just keep them out for 30 days I would be golden. But I can't seem to find a way around this. I will, however, stop buying the snacks that I can't keep my hands off of. They will have to do with other foods for a while.

I commit with 100% of my heart to 24 hours of sobriety from binge eating today. No more.
