Establishing habits accountability group??

Is anyone up for this? My bar is v low: eat food. Brush teeth. Track habits

I have bought a lovely habit tracking journal. I am going to try to resist adding too many items to list this week. Start Monday.

This might be the push I need to try and get my sleeping and eating into some sort of order. Things have been getting worse for a while.

I need to stop binge eating sweet food after lunch. I do it every day.

I want to use my exercise bike at least 3 times a week, just for 5 mins.

Do you find a trigger to binge eating sweet food pretty or is it a routine habit?

I'm trying to get out of a place where I eat 1-2kg of chocolate/sweets each day and I can't work out if that's a reaction which has become routine or something else.

I would definitely be up for this aswell. I want to limit time spent on my phone and try to go to sleep earlier

I need to start going on the treadmill to get some exercise 🚶‍♀️

@Percie when I binge it's out of habit. Like I get a sweet craving right after my lunch and then I just can't stop eating chocolate. Separate to that I comfort eat like if I'm stressed I'll opt for a chocolate rather than shout at my son's!

@yuckypretty sounds similar - it's really getting me down.

Today has been very poor on the eating front: leftover pizza (not even mine), chocolates, toast, dip and some cheese. Why is it so hard to just make a healthy meal for myself and then eat the bloody thing?

Sorry that it's getting you down. Are you setting realistic expectations? Or just expecting that you'll wake up and snap out of it?

I find making gradual changes works best for me.

This weekend I've been bad, had a massive takeaway last night. It was delicious though! This morning I have gone on my cross trainer so hoping that the endorphins will help me not want to binge eat later today.

I'm trying to be realistic and I have a plan, but I just can't seem to get it into 'routine'. Weirdly I have a point where things do just snap into place. I can say the same thing over and over with no change, then one day something 'snaps' in my head, it literally feels different, and suddenly it just works. I don't know how to make that happen when I need it to, though.

I've been told to work on my sleep first. That's coming along OK but I'll sleep better if I eat better/don't worry about dying because my eating is so poor.

Exercise wise I was doing really well but that's completely stopped recently and I'm not sure how to start again. I mean to do it then just don't. Partly that's also the conflict of being told to 'rest' and not knowing whether I'm 'allowed' to exercise or not.

Also good job on getting on the cross trainer - fingers crossed the endorphins do their thing

How everyone doing today?

How everyone doing today?

I'm low carbing and I've walked 1.5 miles to the chemists and back.

I'm bloody starving. Dh fed me a small chocolate bar last night after I told him not to give me any carbs. He said it was his last one and a great sacrifice to have given it to me. I told him the sacrifice was not appreciated and never to do it again.

Eating is my stimming.

I love the sensation of eating and tasting. It makes me happy. Nothing much else does...

Hi could I join you please? I find habit forming a constant battle between my autistic brain wanting routine and my ADHD brain wanting spontaneity :o

But I’m trying to very gradually build up a few habits that help shape my week a bit more especially now I’m working and studying.

I have this problem 😆

My autistic mind is the angel 😇and my adhd is the demon 😈 it's a constant struggle to balance the two.

One of my fave uses of the Spider-Man meme… :o
