It's been a while, so I thought I'd pop in and share some things I've been learning in therapy/nutrition. You may know this already, but maybe it's a good reminder. We all have a baseline intake of nourishment we need just to be upright. When we severely restrict that intake the body goes into survival mode.(Because at our core, we are animals. we want to survive.) In order it keep the body functioning, it will take energy away from other functions and put them on auto-pilot. Instead of rationale, reactionary. Feeling instead of focus. Being in a constant state of fight or flight. Not a great combination for anyone, never mind someone who struggles with anxiety and depression. I have been eating 3 nourishing meals a day (protein, grain/starch, fruit/vegetable, healthy fat). Whole foods, whole grains, fewer ingredients. I am not counting calories. I am learning to nourish my body and trust it to do its job. I am trying not to weigh myself as much. It's hard for me to think that number on the scale doesn't define me... doesn't devalue all the good parts. I would never judge someone else so harshly. YOUR weight doesn't change the fact that YOU are brilliant, bright, and beautiful souls, so why does it for me? I don't have that answer, but I'm working on it. As you can see, despite eating what I feel is a huge amount of food every day, my weight hasn't really changed all that much. I'm crying less. I have fewer anxiety attacks. I have regained focus and feel less overwhelmed. I can breathe. I just have to trust that the rest will come.
Stay safe and be kind to yourself!
