Upside of moodswings and a little victory.

Moodswings have a great upside...the down moods don't last forever. Of course I do wish that the happiness you felt on the upswing was in proportion to the downswing, but that's life. I feel better today. Not any real reason, except for a good night's sleep. Although I have a headache. I have to take control of things.

The little victory is that I have made 10 days abstinence! That means double figures!!!! The real test will be this Sunday, because the old pattern was that if i dieted for a week i was allowed to binge. I have been known on rare occasions to go more than a week without bingeing, but never more than two.

I'm going to commit to doing 5.5 hours study before i leave uni tonight. That's something I can change. I'm not sure where I read that the first line of the serenity prayer "accept the things I cannot change" covers everything in the past. There's no point letting the past get you down. If i've screwed up on study so far all I can do is get over it and move on.

Ok...to work!

COngratulations on the abstinence. That is an accomplishment! I have also been looking for other OA blogs, have found PLENTY on dieting and weight loss, but not many on getting to the root of the problem. thanks for putting yours out there.
