8th of April; had a bit of an urge after lunch (I often have one) but managed to deal with it quite easily; I had just had a nice salad and a big cheese sandwich so I could not be hungry and that is what I told my AV. Then got on with my work and the urge went away. After work went to the gym. Not a very exciting day, but hey... they cannot be all full of thrills and excitement! ;-)

9th of April; last night I had to cook my own dinner. I am quite a good cook and normally I make really tasty food, but last night the vegetable omelette I made was a disaster! I ended up with a pile of scrambled egg with vegetables on my plate. It tasted alright, but wasn't looking very appetising. The accompanying salad was nice. After my dinner I felt a bit cross and in the not too distant past this would definitely have caused a binge! The urge was there for a bit, but I told my AV that I was full (which I was) and that it was just a bit of a messed up dinner...no big deal and many more dinners to come... The urge went away and I continued my evening as normal. Yeah!! Progress!!!
I am losing weight (quite a bit) because I don't binge and still exercise. So yesterday I went to the gym and instead of my normal routine (60 mins of cardio and 5 exercises with weights) I did 'only' 50 mins of cardio. My obsessive compulsive disorder fought my decision to reduce the amount of cardio, but I did it anyway! Yeah!! Progress!!
I feel proud of myself today :-)

10th of April; had a mini binge last night, ate quite a lot of chocolate easter eggs and lots of yoghurt! Don't know why. Fortunately I was able to pull myself together and go to bed. This morning my AV was wide awake and urging me to binge again. But I didn't!! I had a good breakfast (porridge with half a banana, half an apple and some raisins - a real treat!) and that will keep me going till mid morning. At mid morning we have a coffee break and I will eat my snack then; a slice of wholemeal bread with almond butter (lovely!!). That will keep me going till lunch time. So no need to binge!

11th of April; despite very strong urges no binge yesterday! I did eat normally, I made sure I enjoyed what I ate and I managed to surf the urge! Tonight I am going out for dinner. The restaurant serves very fresh locally produced food, french style. Portions are normal, so I should be able to eat a normal three-course dinner without any anxiety. Looking forward to it! Today I walked to work (30 mins one way of brisk walking)but I am not going to the gym today!

12th of April; yesterday I had a binge day which started in the afternoon and because I went out for dinner too it continued well into the evening. Grrrrr... I am really mad at myself for letting it happen. Today I went to the gym, but I did no more than my usual session. Felt better afterwards and feeling pretty good now. Lunch in a bit and I am not going to compensate or restrict. Yesterday was just one of those days... My period is due and I am feeling ravenous the whole day...I should eat some more instead of binging! Will I ever learn??

13th of April; yesterday was a normal day, despite strong urges I did not binge and went about my business as usual. Today no urges to far. Feel a bit lazy today so I won't be writing a long entry today!

14th of April; Monday and looking forward to a brand new week! The weekend went well, after my binge on Friday I got back on track on Saturday and Sunday. I ate the things I wanted to eat and did not restrict. This morning my weight was same as last week. Nothing special happening this working week. Next weekend on Saturday I am going out for a meal (Thai) and a movie (12 years a slave) with a very good friend. Looking forward to it! Sunday it's Easter and I am going to spend Easter day with my husband. Easter Monday no plans yet. Have a nice week everyone!

15th of April; totally and utterly miserable and *** off! Binged again last night! I was doing so well and all of a sudden I got back into binge mode last Friday. Blaming my monthly period - which is due some time soon - is convenient, but not fair. That simply makes me more hungry than normal, so I should eat some more, not binge! Anyway... today will do everything in my power to honor my hunger and my health! Just writing this down makes me feel a little better. Till tomorrow! xx

18th of April; Good Friday and I have to work today! Students have a long weekend, but teachers and staff are expected to come in for work. We have a couple of meetings and some time to do our admin, which is great because teachers don't normally have a lot of time for that. Foodwise I am back on track again. Started reading BOB yesterday, just to kickstart me again! It's working. See you tomorrow!

19th of April; yesterday had a good day, no urges. Today is Saturday, went to the gym this morning and have a few bits of shopping to do later today. We don' t really celebrate Easter so I have three lovely days all to myself! Husband is home today and tomorrow, pottering about in the house and on our rooftop terrace. Monday he has got to work. For Monday I have planned a trip on my bicycle, weather permitting. Gym is closed at Easter so I cannot go which is a good thing! Tonight I am going out with a friend, first a meal (Thai) and then a movie. Not anxious at all! Looking forward to it!

21st of April; Easter Monday today. I didn't have to go to work, my husband did. The weather was lovely all day. This morning I went for a long ride on my bicycle. When I came home I spend the rest of the day relaxing, cooking, reading, clearing out part of my closet and getting rid of some old winter clothes I haven't worn in ages. No urges whatsoever today!
