I think the butternut squash was my favorite.

I have two EDs and theyā€™re opposite. Haha. Cuz im a bit of a mess.

I binge because I canā€™t look at myself thin. Because all I see is a target.

But then I also canā€™t stand to look at myself too big, and refuse to eat for days at a time. (I had a cup of egg drop soup today).

Itā€™s not healthy. Either way. But i am trying to get better. And seeing yā€™all counting days where you made healthy choices really helps me! So, thank you :heart::heart:

Day 5 - imperfect regular eating

Having a good phaseā€¦
Ate soba noodles with tofu and veggies Friday and yesterday for main meal, my stomach and gut are ppreciating the buckwheat.
Started to not only ā€œeatā€ shakes for breakfast, had roasted sourdough rye bread with Omlette last days. I feel my metabolism kicking up soooo much better if I am having a real breakfast.

Today I will be visiting mum and we will make pumpkin lasagne. There were days where it was not possible to make such a meal because of all my restrictions and drama. Looking forward to cooking with mum today.

Day 701 : No binge today. Ok, so it looks like I was a few days off according to my timer. Iā€™m not entirely sure how that happened in the first place. Regardless, looks like iā€™m very close to the two year mark, iā€™m thrilled! :slightly_smiling_face:

Today i begrudgingly ate.

I did however join a gym today. So hopefully that will help. I need food for fuel to workout. So Iā€™ll hopefully feel less guilty when i eat and also, not overdo it because Iā€™ve waited too long. :relaxed:

Day 7 imperfect regular eating

I had really a lot of pumpkin lasagne on Sunday and I had spelt bread for dinner and for late snack after swim yesterday.

Carb heaven, carb dramaā€¦ :drooling_face::innocent::zipper_mouth_face:
Difficult not to judge myself.
It was not a binge.
I was still hungry after it.
And I still feel light.

I am a swimmer and do ca 4 to 5 workouts per week, burning about 600 to over 1000 kcal each. Swimming makes me hungry as every high level cardio.

So I am in struggle with this high sports hunger. Any of you know this? How are you dealing with this special kind of energy hunger?
Donā€™t knowā€¦ Hunger is good, metabolism works though.

I wonā€™t stop working out, as itā€™s pushing my endorphins and keeps me fit and healthy.

I only ate 8 saltines and 2 tbsp (28g) of peanut butter today. But not because I was restricting. I think something bit me, and Iā€™ve got a nice sized swollen sore area on my leg and Iā€™ve felt dizzy and nauseated and drained all day. Iā€™ve just been trying to push through.

With all that saidā€¦I think i ate when my body gave me hunger cues so i wonā€™t reset my timer.

Thank you for thinking of me :heart:
