how do you deal with anxiety during cheat days?

if any of this is against the rules i'm very sorry and ill delete it immediately!!

Starting this off by saying that I've been eating healthy, restricting and working out daily for like two months or so now, and while I've had slip ups (like ordering takeout or stuff like that), I've mostly been great, lost nearly 7 kgs.

I do have moments though where I wonder if I'm trying to hide an ED under the guise of Dieting because there is always this voice in my head telling me that if i eat even less, i'll lose more weight, and admittedly i have "indulged" myself in those thoughts a couple of times. it got to a point where i just kept restricting with no rhyme or reason and I came to the realisation that not only is that not helping me lose faster, it's also just making me much crankier and worse in general -- which like, obviously 😭 that's the one thing i keep reading people say online.

anyway, for the last two weeks i've been making sure to actually hit that 1200 consistently, sometimes even eating a little bit more because why the hell not, if i need it then i need it. this also got me back on track with weight loss and i've been slowly losing a few more kgs.

today, after a really long time, my friends and i are gonna drink at home and just generally have fun, which involves eating pizza and stuff and I mean, I'm excited for it!! but this voice in my head keeps nagging at me to count every drop of vodka or rum we put into my glass so that i don't overdo it especially since we'll probably be eating a lot too.

last time i hung out with them, they ordered pizza as well and it made me freak out so bad that i just. left. in the middle of us watching a movie. thankfully i'm a better place now and wouldn't do that, but i don't want to be thinking about counting my calories this much either, even if it does matter for weight loss or whatever -- i'm like 20 i don't want to lose good times with my lovely friends just to lose weight 😭

Again, im very sorry if this is the wrong sub for this -- I just wanted to know what other people do to deal with like, the intensity of these thoughts during cheat days!!
