Weekly Vlog: Day One, Again and Again

[@DerekMehraban]

You really hit the nail on the head over and over again. I feel you have solved addiction more than anyone I have ever seen. Thank you. I hope we get to meet someday, as I have a similar goal in life to help people overcome addiction. I'm getting my MSW at Michigan and making a mid-life career change. Thanks for all you do!

[@ISeeYou912]

As someone who has tried to find ways around multiple addictions, I would not wish anyone trial and error or pain. I am thankful you shared your tips and stories to help us all get through this journey. I have learned the hard way that half measures simply do not work.

I was introduced to BLE in January 2023 and found a wonderful new phase of life in so many ways. I have been able to come off All blood pressure medication, due to start on sleep apnea machine- totally resolved, so many months happy, healthy and confident.I started on the slippery slope in November ‘23 and into a full food dive all December right up to last night. In 6 to 8 weeks I’ve put back on half of the weight I’ve lost (21 Lbs - 1 stone 7 pounds) I feel so horrible, heavy, unhealthy, snoring started up again (badly - unfortunately for my husband)So grateful to be watching this , to refocus and to remember to call on God to guide me on my abstinence journey. Thank you 🙏

Sending you so much love right now. Susan will be going LIVE in about an hour, join us! ble.life/KO1AI3 🥰🥰

[@isobel8788]

Love ur honesty and how direct you are . Exactly what I need thank u 🙏 😊

[@rafi.and.yehuda]

After a year squeekie clean with my food I binged and just couldn’t get back .Thankyou for validating that I am not alone in the horrible juggling one day on one week off ,one day on ,two weeks off,2 days on ,4 days off ect.

[@rachellemccann7506]

I feel like I can’t tell people I’m doing this because they will roll their eyes at me. I’ve lost weight and gained it back so many times. I know I can lose the weight, I’ve done it. Every time I say I’ll never gain it again, and then over time I just start eating bad food again and think I can moderate, but I just can’t!! I’m hoping this is the key I’ve been missing but I don’t want to tell anyone.

[@lindamiller41]

Susan, your inspiration is precious and invaluable. Thank you, thank you and more thank you. Once a 20 year closeted bulimic, 2 years into BLE down 50 lbs with addiction no longer plaguing me. Lately flirti g with "just once" temptation thoughts -- possibly result of stevia abuse. Your recent blogs are moving me to cleanup my commitment. And remember my addiction proclivities. Your clarity, brightness and experience are absolute medicine to me at this time. Please accept my deeply heartfelt gratitude gratitude and love.❤❤

On my second time listening and tears are welling up. I guess you live inside my head. Boy was this raw, real and eye opening

[@tatyanalikerman6470]

I so wish accountability was my ticket. It’s not. While I honor my commitments, I find that if/when I commit, I no longer do it for myself and it makes me want to procrastinate. Proclamation of my intention is a sure fire way to shut down my desire to do that very thing.

[@lizzytylor662]

God bless you Dr. Susan Peirce Thompson, thank you for sharing this. That helped me today so much and lifted my mood!

[@dhrtiwalter8670]

I’m grateful for Susan’s honesty in this vlog and what it means for me. I’m much better able to trust her.

[@Brightlineeating]

We're so glad this resonated with you! 🧡

[@BonanzasFav]

OMG - this is me

[@David-jk2dp]

Thank you so much for this vlog Susan, as a multiply addicted person in recovery from most addictions, food being the exception now, I appreciate the verities from AA, half measures do avail us nothing, I dont want to be half measures at any of this, anymore, and it does take what it takes. I have been aware of BLE since 2017, and get six to nine months, with multiple day 1"s in between. and then choosing to go into relapse, and similarly to alcohol, its only when IT released me, a Grace incoming, that I am/was able to come back up for air again and clean things up. I now know that I cannot eat what I eat compulsively successfully. It doesnt work. "Almost none us liked the self searching" but there is where the answer lies and thus the freedom and peace. Rigorous self honesty and willingness is all that is required to make a start. I'm in. :)

[@Brightlineeating]

We're so glad you're here David. 🧡🧡

David ~ pulling for you out here in E.Oregon. Hope the New Year brings you many blessings.

[@sarahkercheval8964]

I was same about 3 years ago. Then my daughter told me about fasting. I was insanely determined to make it to a 36 hour fast and it took a few months of intermittent fasting longer and longer windows to get my body used to it to make it to my first 36 hour fast 💨 and holy buckets did I drop weight quickly and my entire body chemistry changed and I no longer craved sugar or anything bread related! 😮 I didn’t binge eat anymore bcs I didn’t care about those foods anymore. Fasting is a miracle. I’m down and kept it off for about 2.5 years now with no problems. ❤ but I had definitely gotten to the I don’t care part and as happy being plus sized.

[@laurieolson7425]

Talk about timely! I've been struggling to get back on track since a slip on Thanksgiving that turned into a month of WTH. I needed to hear this. Thank you Susan!!!!!! Thank you so much for your example and your wise words. I will find my willingness again. Love you and the team at BLE so much! I'm going to really get through Boot Camp 2.0 all the way. I've done the old ones but haven't gotten all the way through the new ones. I will though!

[@lisaj618]

Yes I now realise that I have been kidding myself, lying to myself, that all those umpteen day ones were actually not day ones at all 😊

[@Awaken218]

Lord help me I want to try again😂🙏🏻

[@JazzyG1505]

Day 1 for me... again. 🥰

[@c9garrett1]

I finally quit smoking many years ago. I was not a heavy smoker but I finally was so embarrassed to be a smoker. Kind of how I’m feeling with not taking care of myself

[@MsBoshey1]

This is what the path looks like. that's right!

[@SherylNangeroni]

Happy New Year Susan!

Is it Some day....one day....or is it Day one?

[@c9garrett1]

I have several hundreds day ones. Fa works but is so aggressive and punitive. And I don’t want to spend money on a a program but I don’t want to be beat up and whole life stuffed with all kinds of rules.

[@bethhoover6923]

Wow. I may just sign up for the 2025 boot camp
