Day 36. Feeling good, motivated and productive today. I'm pushing myself and focusing on myself a bit more, mainly my health, fitness and business.
A few days ago I kept falling victim to sugar cravings and procrastination. Pretty soon the sweetest of deserts or my favorite tv shows didn't give me much enjoyment. I realized I was rationalizing these bad habits because of how much effort nofap did. Looking back at my previous posts on this thread I kept saying my willpower was drained and other sorts of rationalizations. This was the wrong mindset because I was reinforcing a belief that I was low on willpower which can be dangerous.

Interestingly I was feeling a bit down or depressed a few minutes after caving into my sugar cravings. It reminded me a bit of how I felt after relapses. It was because I was overloading my dopamine receptors with unhealthy foods just like with porn. So now I'm cutting down on sugar and snacks a great deal.

The brain is a trickster by trade and tricked me into rationalizing sugar and youtube/netflix binge watching to replace some of the dopamine highs it used to get from porn. I think in a few days I may have been more vulnerable to a relapse because I would be looking for a dopamine hit and when sugar wouldn't be doing it. After a few days of intermittent fasting (eating only between the hours of 2PM and 6PM) the sugar cravings have stopped and I feel like I have more energy. Now literally a single piece of candy (limit per day 3 carbs as a nofap reward) tastes better than when I was stuffing my face.

Be vary of other bad habits especially if you are increasing the occurrence of those habits as a way of coping with nofap. Eventually it may come full circle and be the cause of a relapse.

 

I just started intermittent fasting this week. I'm doing it long term. It's not too hard to keep as a habit for me because I was used to do longer fast, now I just have to do it shorter but daily! Yeah I get the sugar cravings also but the more you do Intermittent fasting, the less sugar cravings you'll have because you're body relies on burning fat instead of glucose. Try to eat less sugar and carbs during you're eating window and you'll have less cravings in the long term. Replace you're carbs by high fat foods and you're system will get use to burn fat almost right away when you start you're fast. You won't be craving carbs anymore, that's how you eliminate the sugar addiction. I'm in the process of eliminating the sugar and food addiction and it feels good! Also, I believe that intermittent fasting can really help in sexual addiction because both goes hand in hand. Alot of research has been made saying those who indulge in food also indulge in sex! Anyway have a great saturday evening guys!

Doing the right thing is always the right thing.

 

52 days

It was very relaxing in the morning. I took my wife and two children to the park. In the afternoon and in the evening, we drove out of the distance. Just go home.
When I came home to see my wife, I wanted to hug her and kiss her. She feels so beautiful and sexy. We just gave a little hug. My sexual desire is too strong these days. But I'm not interested in pornography. I just concentrate on my wife. But I know I can't have sex with her right now. At least 90 days. I still have to live in a single room this evening
I'll have a cold shower later, hoping to reduce the urge for sex.
May God accept my life
