It's so easy for those of us with EDs to obsess over weight. I need to get healthier and fitter but I really don't care what the number is any more. Good luck and well done to you xxBorderline Lilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09988037918955358589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486214074384158284.post-35635091475244318102014-06-10T16:33:41.494+10:002014-06-10T16:33:41.494+10:00Thanks, lovely!

I do that too, Bumface is aware, and he usually gyms with me so that I'm not tempted to overdo it.<br /><br />Thank you for the luck, and the response!Chrysalishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987538360359912475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486214074384158284.post-32153828044728263492014-06-10T16:32:29.416+10:002014-06-10T16:32:29.416+10:00That's fantastic!

You don't have to tell them the breakdown of every single meal but...make sure there is nothing you are keeping from them or lying about.<br /><br />It can be easy to get off-track by yourself and go "oh this is fine" but having an outside perspective/check on your behaviors can catch things you've begun to rationalize but that are not healthy.<br /><br />Good luck in general! <3Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15364380139420354094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486214074384158284.post-62875240421227134422014-06-07T19:17:45.461+10:002014-06-07T19:17:45.461+10:00With the stupid diseases/syndromes I have, exercis...With the stupid diseases/syndromes I have, exercise is almost completely out of the question, but I do walk 15 min a day as per the doc's instructions. The Robot, my husband, is my accountability partner, so he makes sure I don't skip even though I'd LOVE to-- it makes me feel miserable more often than not, but I notice that I'm slimming down a bit. (The meds, the meds, the meds… it's their fault! Well, that and being bed bound.)<br /><br />Other than that, I'm eating less, and trying to eat a more healthy and balanced diet. No junk food whatsoever, more veggies and protein since I tend towards fruit and carbs. Lots of water, juice or AZ green tea occasionally. Basically just being more intentional with my diet, and being kind to myself when I don't live up to the ideal. I'm doing my best, and that's all I can do. As long as I'm trying, that's good, you know? So long as I don't give up, I'm making progress. That's how I see it.Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407466438773284596noreply@blogger.com
