This is the real test

So my brother has just left to go back to uni, this for me is I think what triggered my binge eating over the past few months. Once he came back for Christmas, in the past 3 weeks, I have not binged at all.

As he is away, I am on my own in the house a lot more, meaning boredom and also no-one around to watch me. However, now I am going to try and turn this on its head, as a positive, and think that if there is no-one around, then there will be no-one to keep track of how little I am eating and question me about it.

I will miss him terribly, but hopefully I will not get into bad habits now that he has gone.

Home Alone

My parents went back to work today after the Christmas break and my brother has been out most of the day, so I have been in the house on my own all afternoon, and I am pretty pleased with how I got on.

Usually everyone leaving would be a cue for me to binge (usually on huge quantities of cereal), and I was a bit worried how today would go, as its the first day I've been in the house alone since before christmas, but it has turned out fine, and I'm really proud of myself.

Total intake for today after dinner is around 900 cals. but I have been on the wii fit and been for a 3 mile walk so my total cals today would be somewhere around 600, which I'm really pleased with, considering I was left alone. Finally, I feel like I can move on from the binging. I feel like with each day that passes without me doing it, I will not only be closer to my goal, but also there will be less and less chance that I will turn back to binging.
