@giblets, I think it's to give me something more exciting to drink than water. But when I drank it, the fizzing sound and carbonated taste are so close to a sprite...I guess it makes me nervous about leading me back to old habits. I drink the Walmart brand Clear American sparkling flavored waters. I initially just drank Crystal Light iced tea as my alternative to regular water.

Great job reaching day 100. Every milestone is something to be proud of.

I have that problem too, I run out of gas at around 9pm and don't stay up late. I think it's partly the gym but I have to fight through it too.

You can always start with smaller duration for activites. 15 min walking, for example, and slowly ramp up. I find that to be much less overwhelming and more doable.

It's good that you have time for breaks during the day. I know if you become too busy, you can feel overwhelmed and want to back to old habits. Hang in there!

You'll find the progress to be gradual, slow, and steady rather than an overnight transformation. I still have a long way to go...I've just been telling myself to take to one day at a time and trust the process. Hang in there...you're doing great. Chicken schnitzel subway? Where are you? ?

@giblets That pic makes.my.day haha! Day 48/90. I feel like over the past few days, despite my success, I've let off the gas just a littlr bit. I've drank some sparkling waters which are these carbonated flavor waters that remind me of sprite. A couple times I've gone through a drive thru and gotten a little food and a water. I've practically resigned.myself to fapping and feel like I'm drifting towards that porn edge. I feel like I'm testing my boundaries. How much can I get away with while still maintaining forward progress, weight loss? And that is a very dangerous game. I'm glad I'm reading The Slight Edge now. The little compromises don't hurt you in the moment. But they add up and will lead you.downward. As Cam says, I have to double down on what's working. I need.to avoid these sparkling waters. They feel like a gateway dtug.for me. And I have to make more of an effort to restrict fapping. I may not always win, but I have to at least try every day. And if I get hungry, just eat a little more at home. I don't need to go out. So a new week, and a new effort. Gratitude 1. Trying on my smaller clothes today and I feel great 2. Meeting with my counselor today 3. The weather won't be so humid today

It's good that your friends are supportive of your quitting games.

PMO is awfully tough. I still battle that one. Just keep moving forward. Keep it----mmm, chocolate bread. ?

You're making good progress. I'm glad you're tired. I experienced sleeplessness myself actually.

Great job, Alexey. You're almost there!

I bet you'll ace this semester without gaming weighing you down!

Well, if nothing bad happened, that's a good thing. And I know it's past your bedtime. ?

Hi, Kiki. Well, if you detoxed once, you'll do great this time. Good luck! ?

Good job, Skaliq. Sounds like working out and your pets will really help you with your detox. ?

Way to go, Stoic! ?

Day 47/90. 298.2 lbs! Can I please do an awkward happy dance? Preferably to one of Cam's DJ tracks?! Haha...it feels good. I figured I'd break this 300 barrier this week but didn't want to get my hopes up in case I didn't. I crushed it though! Another place I haven't been for 6 yrs and another dark place I am never going back to. It makes the dietary changes worth it....the less calories, the fruit, etc. And of course the gym workouts. Sort of like The Sljght Edge says...for almost two months I've planted seeds and cultivated. Now I am just starting to see a harvest. Gradual at first but this coming year is going to be awesome! It's a shame I had to fall to such a low place in my life in order to start pulling things together. But I just can't look backwards. I just have to focus on making the rest of my life awesome. Gratitude 1. 298.2 lbs! 2. Air conditioning 3. I have friends I can share my joy with

So you are 13 hrs ahead of me. That makes sense. So where in South Korea do you live...Seoul?

Oh I know...hamburgers are temptation itself. I wonder if there's a healthier type of hamburger you could find or a lower calorie version? I know it's not the same thing.

Hi, Skaliq, and welcome. Looking forward to your journal.

Sounds like a good plan, Sir Dylan. Good luck with your marathon training.

Hey, sirjk, I imagine that's awkward about your C teacher. I guess that depends on how much it bothers you and affects your ability to learn. Do you feel that the teacher turned himself around while in prison? You always have the option to find a different teacher. Nice journal template btw. I don't eat well myself but the dagwood dog sounds pretty good. ?

Miracle morning is on my reading list. I'm glad you were able to relieve your stress.

Sounds like you're on track, jeff! ?

Good man not giving in to perfectionism. I wonder what the time difference is between here (Eastern Time Zone) and there. I'm always catching you going to bed hehe.
