Hope your plan went well!

Green so far.

W: 209 lbs

B: oatmeal + soy milk + maple syrup + chia seeds + flax seed + sliced almonds + peanut butter + strawberries + apple (this breakfast was INSANELY filling. I was definitely stuffed at the end. It made me freaked that it was a million calories, but I'm trying to lower my cholesterol, so I know a breakfast like this is helpful.)

L: Eating out with husband (not sure where yet)

D: Leftover angel hair pasta with meat sauce and grated parmesan cheese

Okay, I have an update. I started writing this post this morning, but ended up deleting it while I gathered my thoughts! So, my husband and dietitian have been encouraging me to continue recovering from my orthorexia and binge eating disorder. My goal right now CANNOT be weight loss. I need to get into the rhythm of feeding myself JUST the right amount. Not too much, not too little. So! In that effort, I'm not going to be doing No S right now. I'm paying my dietitian to help me recover, so I'm going to do what she says. And right now, she wants me focusing on eating 3 meals and no snacks. And when I have meals at home, making them according to the healthy plate (the Harvard Healthy Plate basically). My dietitian doesn't want me weighing myself, so every quarter, I will take measurements and photos. As well, I will only be weighed at the doctor's office. I just cannot live life focusing on the scale. It drives me insane and keeps me shackled to weight loss ideals.

So! All of that being said, here is what I ate today.

B: Overnight oats: 1/2 cup rolled oats + 1/2 cup unsweetened soy milk + 2 TBS sugar free syrup + 1/2 cup blueberries + 1 TBS flax seed + 1 TBS chia seeds

L: 1 piece dark chocolate + apple + 2 giant dill pickle halves + 1 piece cold pepperoni pizza + 1 piece (minus crust) of a cheese steak pizza + red pepper flakes

D: Homemade beef stroganoff with broccoli, onions, and mushrooms in the sauce + egg noodles + a couple slices bell pepper + most of 1 fuji apple

I was stuffed after this day of eating. I know I need to practice the abundance principle and have lighter meals, but I'll get there. My goal right now is just to practice the habit of 3 meals every day. I know I can do this. I would MUCH rather do this than count calories or any other "accounting" diet. This is something I believe I can really practice and keep up.

It sounds like you have a solid plan and lots of support from your dietician and husband, which is great! And focusing on the habit is an excellent strategy, just hang in there with it - you got this!

Agreed.

Great you have support at home and naturally we will support you here too. 3 meals a day is the biggest part of Nos habit building.

Not weighing if it triggers you makes sense.

I did my best at weight loss when I focussed on health not wright.

You are on the right track
