I 'mindfully' ate for the first time in years

The title sounds weird so let me explain.

\\TW// ED's

I have been on both ends with my weight - unhealthy weight loss due to disordered eating, and then unhealthy weight gain due to disordered binge eating. And this has fully affected me for around 3 years.

I had created the bad habit of overeating to the point of discomfort., even if I felt sick or didn't like the food I was eating. I had struggled with this forever.

I recently started a new (and improved) weightloss journey (And I'm nearing my 10kg/ 22lb milestone!) and decided to not over restrict but to do CICO and count my calories. I planned out my meals for the whole day and when I got to dinner, I just wasn't that hungry.

In the beginning, as I ate, it was nice and satisfying, but I realized that I was just forcing myself through the bites as I got on and started to feel a little uncomfy. I think part of it was because it was food that was already in my calorie count and I thought that I had to eat everything, but I realized the calories would go wasted if I continue to spend them on something I'm not enjoying.

So I took a container and put the rest of the food on my plate.

Previous me would have scarfed that who thing down, even if it made me lethargic. I never thought the day would come but I've reached my first baby step towards mindful eating and I feel really happy about it. :)
