Tw: ED (mostly about recovery?)
I don't know how to count calories. It involves math and being Awake and problem solving and all that shit I'm bad at. It also feels weird. That's associated with restriction. I just want to get to a point I'm eating a normal amount. This is supposed to be my healing.
I don't know how else to find out how much I should be eating. I've lost reality on that. I don't have an appetite so I can't just eat until I'm full. And I don't remember to eat even when I'm kinda hungry because I forget it's hunger. I don't just know how much food is normal. I think I should eat three meals, but that sounds like a lot, and I'm not good at knowing what constitutes a meal anymore. I eat a cereal bar for lunch. That's not a meal, but how much more is a meal?
I don't know how to give myself a goal without this. But I also don't understand how it works. My cereal bars say how many calories they have. It's 78 per bar. I'm supposed to be eating 2,400 calories every day because of my age according to my quick Google search. 2,400-78= 2,322. That's not very much. Sometimes I don't eat much more than my stupid cereal bar. I know it's better than nothing. 2,322 is better than 2,400. I'm doing something.
I don't know how much the meals I make are though. They're made up of all these different materials and idk how much or all the numbers. I don't know how far I have to go to get to normalcy. My toast might be less than my cereal bar, but today I put cream cheese and smoked salmon like I'm at a fancy cafe writing my book of poetry. I was told a long time ago now that fish and cream cheese have lots of fats and fats are good for your brain and they "stick to your ribs". But idk how many calories that is. Idk how well I'm doing.
I've never heard how you get better from this. For most people it's about their size or shape or weight. Their bodies. So the recovery things I see are focused on fixing that hatred and anxiety, and the eating enough part seems to supposedly come naturally after you don't think about how it could make your body look. It's not natural for me. I'm not sure it is for other people too, but that's what it seems like. Idk.
Maybe I shouldn't try to calorie count. I'm just not sure how to make goals for myself ig.

Just ate dessert (Swiss rolls so no picture, I have them all the time) and was looking at my Fitbit and I realized I didn't log my protein shake (should've known when I was able to have such a big dinner😔), so now I'm over my calories and don't know if I should still have grapes later.. husband says I should but I'm struggling lately. Recovery me thinks I should still have grapes, but disordered me doesn't want to because I'm not feeling so great lately. I don't know what to do.

let's normalize going into pro ed blogs and spamming the report button
i'm not talking about someone genuinely venting and needing help, i'm talking about 17 year old caitlyn sucking her stomach in and posting pics of starving girls from war torn countries
also if you've ever written meanspo and published it online you are fucking horrible and i hope you wake up with the sun shining right in your eyes <3

Kinda struggling with how bloated I am tonight. the acid reflux/stomach problems aren't helping. Can't stop burping. Gross recovery problems; my digestive system is not happy. The starving was hard, but familiar. This constant processing of food is hard to get used to.🫤
Still better than starving though. For sure.

50% relapse 50% recover. . .I don't know what I want to do. Recover is hard but supposedly worth it. Relapse is easy but it has its cons too. I just wish that I didn't have to face food every single day for the rest of my life
