Transcript

I messed up. I binged for the first time in 60 days. I was doing so good, but today the food noise just caught me and now I just feel so alone, so guilty. It feels like 60 days just went down the drain. I'm gonna log it in my recovery app. I'm not gonna log it as a full reset. I'm only gonna log it as a half because I don't want those 60 days to feel like a waste. But please, let this be a sign. Do not binge. It doesn't help anything. It makes you feel so much worse.
