Hi,

I made it to 90 days before, fell and have been on and off since then.

This time I hope to go further. How? You see i'm an emotional eater. When my mood dips and I get down I have a tough time and that's when I fall. So, I manned up and found a competent therapist to help me deal with my depression. B"h it's helping and when I feel good about myself I really don't struggle as hard.

For now, I'm going to start by posting on here and doing the chart and I"ll see if we need some extra tools.

Let my mistakes empower me to succeed instead of pulling me down.

Glad to see that you are going to therapy! It helped me tremendously! Keep us posted!

Issac Current streak: 33 days OFFLINE Senior Boarder Posts: 47	Day 1 Yup. I fell. But i also won a lot of the time. I think i closed off those loopholes. Specifically, staying up late at night just gives me more of a chance to fall I'm bl"n not going to take my phone to bed anymore. I think that should help.

ColinColin Current streak: 622 days OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 527 Karma: 8	Isaac Was it just taking the phone to bed that made you fall. Was there another reason...stress...tiredness...loneliness etc?

Issac Current streak: 33 days OFFLINE Senior Boarder Posts: 47	Thanx Collin, That was for sure part of it, but I felt that I also need to guard myself as much as possible.
