    Binge free for 7 days

    Yesterday was fine, the day before was challenging. I ate a protein bar and it almost led to a binge. I curled up on the couch under blankets and watched TV instead. Every single one of my other binges recently has been triggered by eating a processed baked good. I suppose there's a reason why I call it the cookie monster.

    I need to find other distraction techniques on the weekends because I'm not that big on TV. Walking has been a good one but I can't walk all the time. I will try reading a book next time.

    I came up with some alternatives as part of the self-help plan I'm doing the other day, mine were:
    Work - Walk a package upstairs
    Work - Bathroom squats/Wall pushups
    Home - Watch a foreign language netflix series (original language with English subtitles)
    Home - Go for a walk
    Home - Use the exercise bike
    Home - Do some cleaning/de-cluttering
    Home - Call family to catch up

    Thanks for the ideas! I'll have to try some of them.
