fallen and trying to get back up

sarcastje

Well, my binging spree has seized I hope. 7 days and i gained 7 lbs. Went to see a mental doctor who prescribed me some anti-depressants and a mild anti-anxiety drug. I also saw a nutritionist (at Hy-vee of all places) and they have measured my body fat % (21% but dunno how accurate those little machines are) and she told me that for my Height and age I could eat 1800 calories and still be fine. That is what I would burn if I were sitting still. That is good news, because I felt like I was not eating very much at all. Today I am picking back up with the healthy eating and am sooo hoping I will not relapse.

Wish me luck

Sounds like you did the next right thing to help yourself. Good for you -- its not so easy when you are spiraling for a week to put the brakes on and ask for help. So you should feel really good about that. Just keep logging in. I also noticed you made your diary public, which is going to help keep you accountable, and also allow you to get good feedback on your food choices.

Good luck for today (you only have to do one day at a time).
