I didn’t rebound with a gain from this new low number, but I now understand that my “natural” eating volume is also cyclic. Giving myself permission to eat less works sometimes, but I have to also keep refocusing my long-term eating habits to match with consistent weight loss.
Coaching myself that it’s ok to skip a meal [...]

The scale showed a new number today - lower than ever. Finally crossed a first milestone. Didn’t even know I had a milestone, but apparently I had a secret one. Maybe I’ll set 5 more kilo as an actual goal, rather than a milestone. Maybe not. Might cause a binge.
Investigated what I can do to [...]

I am interested in your product.
You have a very interesting product.
Number 1 is generally what it says - the Ami wants to know more about [...]

This change from food/ED being the center of my life is challenging and interesting. It means walking away from many activities that are both comforting and destructive at the same time.
Stopping weighing myself obsessively and, at the same time, going on a diet requires a change in mindset. I can’t spend my time thinking about [...]

So I had another successful vacation, without any weight gain. Today I focused on living normally, and not spending time obsessing about ND or weight loss. The fun and entertaining things to do keep me very busy. I did eat relatively heavily today, but I understand it has more to do with what was available [...]

This weekend has moved in slow motion, at least with respect to my actual accomplishments. After struggling with should for a while, I chose to lean into the curve and gave myself movies until I broke the emotional block.
The block ultimately broke during The Banger Sisters, a movie about breaking through walls we create to keep [...]

Why in the world do people on limited incomes not see how they waste money? When my family was dirt poor, we knew it, and we knew what we could not buy. Our poverty was our fault, due to my stepfather’s compulsive gambling. My mother did what she could to keep us going, including lying [...]
