✳️✳️ ACCOUNTABILITY ✳️✳️ ✔️Day 3: Thursday, May 27th. NO BINGE —Ginger-in-Texas

Vicki - I’m taking melatonin at night now. I’ve done that off and on for years. Decided I would just add it to my night meds for 2 weeks to see if it’ll help. I keep a bullet journal to help me get “all the things” out of my head and into my plans. I usually do a mind sweep (or brain dump) on Sundays, then set up my plan…

✳️✳️ ACCOUNTABILITY ✳️✳️ ✔️Day 2: Wed, May 26th - NO BINGE I’m calling this a 2-day streak. 😬 —Ginger-in-Texas

Hello All, BINGE EATING EPISODES I’m struggling with late night bingey episodes. I can be in bed, unable to fall sleep - and feel a powerful tug to get up and snack.

Ginny - You can do it. This was my journey: 🔲 In 2013 was on a mission to manage my health. So I made a list of all the things I needed to do to “improve my health”. Then I started working through my list. Putting big check marks next to each item. I knew the cardio and gastro docs were going to tell me to quit smoking -…

Hi Betsy. 20 years is cool. I quit 6 years ago. My 6th smoberversary is Oct 27th. After a 34 year habit of a pack a day. I found it much easier to quit than I anticipated.
