DAY 2 OF KEEPING MYSELF ACCOUTNABLE FROM OVEREATING

Definitely a very snack-ish day today. I feel like I could’ve done better, but honestly my previos binge was wayyyy worse than this

Here’s what I ate today (being full honest) :

Breakfast: 1 egg, oatmeal with milk, 2 jujubes and a handful of goji berries.

Went for a workout afterwards

Post-workout I wasn’t actually hungry but ended up snacking a lot (tbh quite mindlessly): 1 apple, 15 biscuits, 1/2 bag of popcorn , about 10 tortilla chips, 1 iced coffee with some apple juice (weirdly good comb, also refilled the apple juice into my coffee twice lol)

Lunch: 1 potato, 1 can of tomato sardines, 1 egg

Post-lunch snack: 1 square of dark chocolate

Evening snacks (again wasn't hungry too , was snacking quite mindlessly) :1/2 bag of corn chips, another 1/2 bag of popcorn (atp you can probably tell I love corn related snacks), and the rest of the apple juice from afternoon

Dinner I originally thought of skipping dinner since I had snacked so much, but I knew that would just lead to more snacking. So I made a proper meal: 1 bowl of rice with kimchi, and stir-fried spinach, mushrooms, broccoli, and chicken.

Usually I’d snack again after dinner, but I didn’t! I’m writing this reddit post right after dinner (a time for me to pause before reaching out for snacks) and I honestly feel full and satisfied now

Overall, I did mindlessly snacked a lot this afternoon and evening, and that’s something I hope to improve. BUT on the positive side, I didn’t skip dinner out of guilt, and I didn’t reach for more snacks afterwards. I would say that's a small progress too !

If you’re struggling with overeating/BED, how are you doing today? One thing I keep reminding myself is that progress doesn’t mean being perfect all day. Sometimes progress is something tiny , like pausing for a moment before a binge, even if you still end up doing it. That little pause still counts. Small steps matter.

Feel free to join me on this journey and keep each other accountable. We can do this together! 🫶
