I should start planning my foods again. Some days I'm eating a lot and some others I'm fasting. I've lost some pounds, which I shouldn't have.

I've been eating too much. Holidays leftovers aren't helping the cause.

Really need to get back to regular routine of walking. Feel like I’ve gained weight over the last week and dislike it. I’m at a healthy weight and 9-10 years ago was almost too thin. It’s something about not liking how my stomach feels or hips look, it’s almost BDD. So I’m at a healthy weight, eating well and just need to get back to regular walking 30-60 minutes daily and it will be much better.

I feel like I am in an AA meeting for the first time, admitting that I have an eating disorder.

It's been alive on and off for years. It was active for 7 years when I was a teen and young adult. Then it suddenly stopped on its own and I was fine for many years. Then it resurfaced in my adulthood years and it's been active for about 8 years now.

I am now working on my recovery, on my own. It's my little secret though. NO ONE IRL knows, and I want to keep it that way. I am far too ashamed. It healed once, so I have faith it will heal again.

My daily check in right now is that I am working on emotional regulation and awareness each and every day so that I don't slip back into the habit of emotional eating. I am working on adopting healthier coping mechanisms.

I feel Ok today. Of course, it's only 7:15 Am and who knows what the day ahead holds. I am trying though.

I was always preoccupied with my weight. Probably had PICA when I was 7 and 8. Gained a bunch from psych meds from 2006-2011. Lost a lot of weight from late 2015-2019. Gained a few back this winter. I’ve never been diagnosed with anything although I was just called an attention seeker back when I was a teenager from everyone from my mental health counselors to my parents. They said that I didn’t have any eating issues at all. Now as an adult there’s for sure some disordered thoughts when it comes to food. Although I’m not sure how much is my gender identity issues. My therapist is always asking about my eating habits and has thrown around the words eating disorder a handful of times.

Today was not a lot of eating but a whole lot of exercising which is new to me.

Having been anorexic and having body image issues, this new reality of not having a gym is definitely playing on my self image. I'm doing what I can to keep fit, but I can tell I'm edgy and starting to think about weight more often.

Was very happy our grocery stores somehow got in some raw vegetables. I was eating cold sauerkraut & pickles for my raw veggie fix. For awhile, there was no vegetables at all, in the stores here.

it has been a bad day re: junkfood. I should be ashamed

I did eat my dinner though (most of it), so I guess it isn't all bad

I think (at least in the case of today) I have nothing to do so I'll eat.

I should eat well this evening.

I have barely snacked all day (in fact I only had a few biscuits earlier), but I am hungry for my ddinner. I'm having pizza, so hoping for an empty plate.. and not a revert back to junkfood when I'm " bored" of the food (which I find a lot)

We're not eating well at all... Restricting. We do at least eat once a day. We make ourselves eat once. When we were in the psych hospital, they kept getting onto us because our sugar was too low. (We're diabetic.) The lockdown isn't helping at all...
