I get the impression that you are gradually warming up to the idea of keeping yourself chaste, and that on average the increased belt wearing has made you more certain that is what you want. I haven't heard lately that you are still considering quitting after getting your license.
You have been quite firm about your limits (no 24/7, no bra or thighbands, not to school etc.) for a longer time now, so I expect those are not going to change much in the coming time either. Perhaps it is time to sit with your parents again, and look at how all of you see the coming months/years. If they have expectations that would go beyond those limits, it might be best if those are tempered quickly. Do you think you would want to aim for being belted 100% of the time you are at home, and never outside? Or should there be moments at home as well you are not locked, so you don't feel too trapped? Perhaps when you are together with at least 1 parent? (I'm not suggesting to work out all the details and put it in a long-term contract, just to make sure that your parents can accept your limits, and how you see your goals.)
Somewhere you mentioned you were posting at night because the belt kept you awake. Do you still not sleep so well with it on?
Jen I don't know exactly they haven't said anything
If you checked the hours, and found out you did more than you needed, would you start taking more breaks, or are you happy now with the hours you make?
Jen I was a bit excited that makes it easy
Yes, it seems backwards at first glance. I can think of 2 reasons: either you are getting more serious about staying chaste, and when you are excited you recognize you need the belt more to keep your resolution, or the wearing of the belt, limiting your access, is also somewhat exciting. Like you kept on going back to the belt after you deflected the first attempts of your parents. Either way it is useful: it helps you stick to your plan, makes your parents happy, and gets you your license and perhaps more benefits after that?
It wouldn't be my style, but you could consider showing a bit more reluctance wearing it than you feel, so they might offer more compensation π On the other hand I get the impression that your emotions and feelings are easy to recognize, so your parents might look straight through that.
