Three Weeks

Yesterday I noticed that something was different. But I couldn't really put my finger on what it was. Then it came to me: I didn't have the overwhelming urge to binge, and I hadn't had the urge for a couple of days. What the, shut the?!

You guys! This. Is. Huge!!!! I've had that overwhelming desire and urge to binge pressing down on me for the past three weeks. It's been on my mind almost constantly and I would spend time imagining what I wanted to eat/binge. I don't know how or when exactly it happened. But I just know that it's not constantly weighing down on me anymore. I don't know if three weeks of not eating sweets did some magical trick or what exactly made the change, I'm just glad that it did change. I still obviously need to be on my guard about it, but I feel so great!

One more week of no sweets!!! And after this week I'll be allowing myself one treat a week. It will be one serving of something that I buy because I can't buy something with more than one serving (like a bag of candy), otherwise I will eat it all at once (or at least all in one or two days).

Also, I've lost ten pounds (as of one week ago, who knows it could be more after this past week!). Yay for progress!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome Mary! That's the trick, it takes a while to get the stuff out of your system. Great work!
