Chinese food. There's just no way around the sodium and I have a vertigo disorder that means I really have to limit sodium. Plus it's generally terrible for you.

Awesome! I don't know about you but I have a really hard time eating small amounts of sweet things (not including fruit). It just drives me crazy to have to have that conversation in my head about whether I can have an extra chocolate :smile:. Sometimes it's easier to just avoid it all together and when I want dessert,…

You could also change up your diet plan. I peaked at your food diary and noticed that you often have small amounts of sweets through the day. It makes sense to log that so you don't get off track on your calories. Maybe you could try a food challenge for the month of September where you try not to eat any carbohydrates…

I know what you mean. You want to take a break from obsessing about everything you eat for a little bit.

I really recommend mindful meditation. It's a great tool to help you detach and observe your emotions from a safe distance and really helps to reduce stress and anxiety. Give it a try. Can't hurt :)

You have just described mindful meditation! If you can find some classes nearby they are an excellent way to reduce stress and anxiety. Aren't you brilliant for doing it without any training!
