Trying to lose weight again. It seems i take on the changing the world when trying to change one thing, everything has to change. I had gained a grand total of 50 pounds over the past 3 years, of course thats rounded down but thats my target loss number. I've gone to weighing myself daily which is a great motivator and a good way to know what to expect. Focusing on dietary changes takes my mind of abstinence.

Friday check in. Only relapsed once in the last 8 days, so feeling a little better. Strong today, no urges to speak of yet. Have a busy weekend planned so hope to make 7 days!
Electricity is solid for us but we have limited water and need to boil any drinking water. Did the 'ol reality escape bit and found it diddnt help. Maybe I'll learn that lesson at some point. I was rolling and hoping to make it a reset not a relapse.
@artifact I am retiring from the group, so you can give my spot to someone else. I appreciate the opportunity!
Checking in. Had some urges last night but didn't give in. Feeling great this morning, glad to be back on track.
Sundays is usually "relapse day" because there is so much freetime and often mixed with boredom can be a dangerous mix. Has 2 critical moments today where I was watching a movie and some random nudity scenes triggered me, but I was aware of it and turned off the movie and did something else. After 5 minutes the urge to "see more" was gone and I spent a nice Sunday overall. Happy and off to another week!
Checking in. Up and down weekend but very happy with my overall outlook these days. No major urges and I'm feeling the confidence and sense of self that comes after a good, solid month of sobriety.
Morning all, checking in after a great week off from work. I'm not wild about "going back into the office" today and feeling pretty low about it all. Hopefully I can stay strong. This is the furthest I've been and I really don't want to lose my progress!
