Hi Helen, I was thinking about you yesterday and wondered where you had gone.
I had two bad weeks last week and the week before (totm - it wasn't two full weeks but it was enough to knock me off track).
This week though saw me pass through the 50 day mark and I pledged to myself that I would see through the other half of this journey without eating anything.
Somehow it gave me renewed energy to get back on track. I have made a concerted effort to drink more (have started to drink the water warm to help it go down) and to stop the nibbling. I am very conscious of this when I cook for the others and so always have a soup about 10 minutes before I start cooking so that I am not at all hungry and that helps the nibbles. I am very conscious when I am cooking now not to put anything in my mouth and if I get food on my hands I keep a tea towel next to me so I'm not tempted to lick.
It has been a huge effort but I have been abstinent again now since last Monday and I am just taking each minute as it comes.
The other thing that helps is for me to have drawn a line under the episode and to contain it - it happened, it is done, I can't bring the food back but I can make sure that it doesn't happen again in the same 5 minutes, then 10 and so on until all cravings have passed.
And keep on posting here, by being deadly honest and putting it out in the open helps deal with it a lot more.
