It's emotional freedom techniques. I was taught it in my counselling and PMcK teaches it on his TV programme as a way of reducing emotional overload, but it can be used for addictions, fears, lots and lots of things really. I originally used it (and it's been incredibly effective! :D) for my obsessions, it literally just knocked them out, couldn't attach any emotion to the thoughts and tbh could barely think about them in the first place.

It's brilliant :D I love it, it's so easy, only takes a few mins - it basically involves tapping on acupressure points (whatever they are) and saying words and stuff. I'm not really explaining this very well :rotflmao:

I used it at about midnight last night and now I can smell chocolate and not be too fussed. :)
 
Whew! Off to bed in a bit, so that's day one over and done with!

I've been really good, I had to go to the shop to get onions for my spag bol (which was delicious btw :drool:) and as I leant over to pick some up, I got a whiff of a chocolatey doughnut :eek: but I still resisted.

I'll get this cracked. I might just keep telling myself that I can eat as much as I want in a months time, and then pray the addiction's been broken by then. :p:

I think my journal is helping a bit. I was wanted some comfort food earlier as I was missing Jon, so I wrote it down and it went away a bit. I'm feeling a bit more confident about it all now :)
 
:cry: why oh why. Really. I've just been woken up by terrible stomach pains (and you can guess what that led to) and struggling to get back to sleep. They've gone now :eek: thankfully. Just wondering what else I'll have to endure. Maybe I should've weaned myself off it! :p:

Going to try to sleep now. :)
 
I comfort eat when i miss my bf too, damn emotions!
Resisting that donut was a brilliant step! Dont know if i could have done that so you should be proud to get through your first day as i know its a big thign for you. Sorry to hear your feeling crappy, hope you feel better soon x

so good the journal is helping
and that you resisted - well done you :):)

be back later to see how today is going
so how many seconds is it now
 
Morning, Jenni. I hope you are still asleep having been up in the night - poor soul.

Don't know what was going on yesterday, but a fair few of us struggled with the cravings monster....was it a full moon? ;)
 
full moon is coming up at the end of the month - so could be its influence :)

just think how much sugar and rubbish your body has got rid of - you really dont want to put it back
H xx
 
It's possible - full moon influence (anything what takes blame away) - I had self-inflicted-overindulgent BLIP last nite myself LOL and what worse.....I don't even feel bad about it haha
Back on track today though xxx
 
I have well and truly slept in! :D I deserved it, right? :p

I'm now up to 38 hours! :bliss: Getting more and more determined.

Something that I was thinking about the other day, was how it was going to be when I didn't eat chocolate - i.e. what I'd do with my time, how I'd cheer myself up when I was sad etc. Still working that one out.
 
well you obviously needed the sleep
so tonight try to get to bed at a reasonable time
and again well done on all those hours - isnt it just great to see them mounting up
it must be about 41 by now
 
It's almost 43 now :D Counting the hours makes it easier I think.

My phone arrived today! :bliss: Nothing exciting, just that I broke my old one :p:
 
OH the ability to communicate
:):) and 43 hours is 2580 mins or 154800 seconds
now you wont want to start that counter all over again will you :):)
 
I have almost made it to 50 hours! :bliss: How good am I! :p:

Bedtime now. Let's see how the next 50 hours go!
 
I cannot believe you have made this to over 60 hours or 3600 mins or 216000 seconds
look at that counter go

so what are you doing with the money you have saved so far
I think you need a designer bag or watch or shoes - every girl needs shoes - even if it is new DM's


keep going and give me an hours mins and seconds update when you are next on line
