@MuddyBoots - You can keep going forward. You've got control that way too as far as what you eat (empty calories vs. food good for you with vitamins, minerals, protein, etc.). Def. stop counting calories though I know from an ED past I know a lot of approximate if not exact calories in given food servings...sigh. If your treatment team is not going to help you, you have to help yourself. The thread you posted about your heart rate is troublesome because that is a scary low resting heart rate. Can you see a PCP for an EKG?

I really overdid it with the exercise this morning, walking & jogging. Ugh! I need to slow it down because with the heat I work so hard, and I've lost enough weight to put my BMI into the underweight category (though only just), so it's not that worrisome, at least I don't think so. Or maybe the ED doesn't think so. Of course, I like seeing the lower weight on the scale because that's the way these EDs work. And I don't feel thin enough, I never have, I know even at my lowest weight I felt fat, so what really is the point of this sort of thinking?! Oh, and next week, I get to go to the dentist for yet another crown and filling, thank you ED
