Hey Lily, How are you? You didn't post anything... I am a little depressed at the moment to be honest. My last days before going abroad and I am going to write an exam on wednesday and do not feel motivated to do anything.

Hi, I didn´t post as intended because I was always late the last few days ^^ . It was a mixture of big struggle and great freedom: one day every cell screams in an urge, the next day I wonder how I could ever give some thought to food. It´s a little exhausting at the moment even though I practice detachment, but sometimes I just wish to get some relief from those urges for a while - or from those urge situations that seem to bombard me at the moment. But on the other hand I had a lot of fun as well - and as I wrote above, moments of complete freedom and 'normality'. But that´s exactly what makes it difficult, finding a balance between focusing on live and not overthinking the whole issue and at the same time staying vigilant and prepared for resisting the next urge. Let´s learn for the exams and catch the smiley tomorrow See you!

Hey.. I am really having a hard time these days. I feel like chronically exhausted, as always after my exam period and just want my last exam on wednesday to be over. After that I first need lots of sleep, lots of soul food (meaning, healthy self-prepared food) and some relaxation. I hope I can give better input that days.. sorry ;-)

Through no conscious effort, I haven't eaten any processed sugar for the last two days. It feels good, I might keep it up...

Hey charlotte, I just saw that you are online, so I just wanted to directly answer... I read the other thread in which you wrote that much and I feel so connected to everything you write.. of course, we're on the sameboat. When I was following this thread in the beginning everything felt so I easy because I just didn't had any urges. Then exam period started.. my last one, and I thought "okay, this is the last time you give in, after that you have no excuses any more" which was of course a stupid idea. Of course I didn't start resisting the urges again after the exam period directly because there were so many farewell dinners which I wanted to enjoy. I didn't start the week I was at home, because I had do eat all the nice food as I wouldn't get it anymore the next three month (I am abroad now for three month). I can start after the flight.. I said, and of course I didn't because there were so many nice couchsurfers and we had so much nice food... so the week in Dublin I didn't start as well. Now I am 1,5 weeks in Wales already and still cannot stop. Instead my eating attacks are getting even worse... more calories in only a few minutes and with short time periods in between. I excuse myself by "I am abroad, I want to try everything" but for real I am disgusted by myself. I took BoB with me for the travel. What do you think of sharing everyday sharing a useful quotation which should help us for the day at whatever point we are..? I'd prefer that to the stupid counting thing..

Hey there That sounds really nice to me! And if you're interested, check out Amy Johnson's chapter right here dramyjohnson.com/binge-eating-support-special-gift-standish/ as well, and her book Modern Enlightenment. They've really been helping me to get a new perspective on life. So let's start of with this one, by Walt Disney: "If you can dream it, you can do it."

Do you mind if I open a new thread? I am not a fan of restarting again and again a new thread whenever you have the feeling you have failed.. but I just don't really want to do the counting thing.. so I thought it might be nice..
