A New Day

This blog is not going to serve its purpose of holding me accountable if I am not honest about my progress. I did not follow my commitment last night. I had a bowl of oatmeal at 8:30 and was not going to eat anything else. I went to the library with my boyfriend because he had to meet for a group project. They met longer than I expected and I was ready to get home. One trigger for me to binge is when I feel out of control of a situation. This happens to me on a lot of nights because I have night class that lasts for 3 hours and I feel out of control of "my time." Last night, I was not in control of how long I would be at the library. For some reason (I can't explain why), this led me to crave a binge. I could have gone to bed when I got home, but I went to the kitchen. After I had eaten a day's worth of food in 30 minutes, I went to bed. I couldn't even stick to my commitment on Day 1 of this challenge. Instead of beating myself up over it and focusing on my failure, I am focusing on the fact that today is a new day and I cannot let what I did yesterday affect what I am going to do today.
