My struggle with food and weight loss has been an on-and-off journey for most of my life. I've never been classified as overweight but I have struggled with eating disorders in the past and recently during quarantine I put on a lot of extra weight that I would rather not have. Because of therapy I have reached a much more comfortable idea of what it means to be healthy but right now I don't feel like my best self and so I'm trying to shed a few pounds so that I feel a little bit more confident.
Onto my problematic solution. Because of my eating disorder I struggle with either not eating at all or if I have a little bit of food I go way overboard and eat until I feel like I'm going to throw up. This makes it difficult for me at mealtimes because even though I'm full and I know I'm full and I feel full, I always find myself saying "oh well I COULD eat more." which leads me down a road of saying f*** it and just eating everything that I can until I feel sick. Obviously if I do this at every meal time I will never lose any weight, I will only continue to gain.
So then I decided since I can't control the fact that I'm going to binge at every meal, why not control how many meals are eaten a day. So now what I've been doing is not eating until I'm very hungry and eating all my calories in one giant meal.
Now mind you, I still make sure I have all of the correct nutrients balanced out in my meals such as proteins vegetables fruits and carbohydrates, but I can't help feeling like eating 1300 to 1500 calories in one sitting is just not healthy.
Sorry for the long post! If you got this far and have any advice for me it would be greatly appreciated thank you so much.
