actually hungry -> fill up on fiber pills, sparkling water & low calorie foods
anxious about procrastination -> compensate with another task, a show, or just do the thing, get help from accountability buddy
forgot to take my meds -> take them
sensory discomfort -> reset (hydrate, shower, brush teeth, change clothes, painkillers if in pain, heat pads, bury in blankets, some stretching, open a window)
emotionally hurt / vulnerable -> let emotions out differently (exercise, talk to someone,…)
overstimulated -> go to my room, stim sesh, headphones…
upset about exceeding calorie limit / feeling full -> IT DOESNT GET BETTER FROM EATING MORE, remember how terrible purging feels
craving a food / sense of satisfaction -> YOU LITERALLY KNOW YOU WON‘T FEEL SATISFIED FROM EATING THAT, stop lying to yourself
I slacked so hard with exercise this week but I‘m excited to get back to it. Didn‘t post the last two days cause I was too lazy to take pics + I pinged & purged yesterday, but weight still went down a bit so I guess I‘m good.
-> didn’t fully reach my step goal and protein was a bit low, but generally happy with how the day went, especially since it’s so hot rn I didn’t even want to move at all 🙃😅
⚠️Disclaimer: this is highly personal and based off my cronometer calculations + the fact that I’m currently anemic. I recommend EVERYONE supplement heavily when restricting, but figure out what you need individually.

Thoughts
I’m considering adding collagen but for now I think I’m good.
As soon as I loose my period again I’ll get my hormones tested and maybe start on the pill again to prevent osteoporosis. Hormones play a very important role in bone health!
