I've still been going a bit hard at the exercise especially considering how warm and humid it is in the morning now when I go walking. I really do need to slow down. I have lost some weight in the past month and hopefully my pdoc won't go on too much about it; he weighs me at every appt. (but he does all his patients). Lately, I have done well at snacking. Today eating has been bumpy, not from the ED but from my cycle making me nauseous. I'm hungry, I need to eat, but I'm nauseous too, sigh. I already took Zofran once today; I'd rather not have to take another but I may have to; the bottle says every 8 hr as needed.

Yeah it is a struggle

. Part of me feels like I have more control over my life if I know my weight at all times.
I have been doing intuitive eating for the most part, I really haven’t been tracking things in regards to calories I’ve just been eating when I’m hungry and listening to my body, Ideally I’d like to eat a bit healthier but I don’t want to obsess about it again so right now I’m just focusing on not bingeing or restricting. I ate Burger King yesterday. I didn’t binge on it. And I didn’t beat myself up mentally for eating it. Actually I really thoroughly enjoyed it and had leftovers today.
