I’m not gaining but I’m not losing any which is double edged sword. I’d hate to think of my not being diabetic as I know I’d eat a lot more.

The only reason I’m not dropping meds is because even tho I’m struggling a bit now the meds are working well with no real side effects so I’m going to stick with them.

I will say I am proud of myself for NOT sliding into another anorexic episode …it causes so much Shame and it’s so embarrassing to talk about it. Its nothing to be proud of that’s for sure. It’s been almost 5 years since my last episode. I’m happy about it.

I truly need to get back to daily walking but with my PsA so flared and Fibromyalgia I haven’t been able to do much . I need to but the pain is high. I’m still hoping this new medication will do something.

Today I’ve had nothing but sugar free iced coffee. I have been doing one meal a day. Not the greatest for a diabetic but fasting can help give the body a break from processing food all day. It’s a fine line I guess. Most meals I do just a protein and veggies. Last night I had chicken breast and a salad. Was tasty so I’m going to do it again I bought lots of salad stuff.

Thanks for starting this thread

That's good you haven't slid into another ana episode, Christina! I want to try fasting, but if I don't eat I get light headed and dizzy unfortunately. One thing I need to do is try incorporating more protein in my diet. I've been trying to eat more beans and tofu.
