I wasn't feeling the greatest in the morning, but pharmacology class did wake me up alright lmao
Later I was eating my dinner thinking how I'm not even hungry. This cycle is going suspiciously well so far.

I had three pieces of fudge and even though they fit into my limit, I now feel like I won't lose any weight, because sweets work like magic - smell one, gain a pound. That's obviously not the case, but it certainly feels like it is.

I'm going to do some baking on Saturday - a lot of baking I should say. Valentine's Day is coming, so I need to spoil my boy a bit - especially since we haven't seen each other in such a long time and both of our birthdays passed in the meantime. I hope I don't mess anything up - and don't break a nail.
I've grown super long nails and I'm at that point where breaking one is like breaking my own heart lol

So my bestie is onto me.
We had seminars today in an extremely cold room, I was freezing, but couldn't shiver. My nails turned purple.
And my bestie almost yelled at me that I eat so little that I fucked up my thermoregulation, because it really wasn't that cold and no one else was having fucking cyanosis from listening to a seminar.

She's a smart one, isn't she.

But at the end she agreed that she can't do shit to stop me.

Weigh in tomorrow. I'm honestly expecting a gain, I don't even know why. Just got that feeling that it's going too well to be true.

Also, just one more cycle to go and a loose maintenance week. It sort of became my routine now, I've grown to like it - or maybe I just like the effects. Either way I'm not really sure what to eat? I'm no longer craving anything special nor am I feeling hungry, but if I don't plan ahead I might just eat crap and then feel like crap. I need to figure something out.

I can't wait for Saturday, it's going to be so much fun. I love baking and I LOVE baking for others. With every single one of my cookies I'm trying to say "I love you endlessly" over and over again.

Lately I've been dreaming of baking for myself. Of loving myself endlessly. Maybe someday.

I did not deserve food today. I ate food regardless. Let's leave this awful day behind now.

I fucked up my last exam, that's why I was in such an awful mood yesterday. But I'll take it again, I'll study lots and pass next time. All's good.

And today I spend a lot of time with my bestie and I feel much more rested already. I just need some sleep, to get away from all those worries, and I'll be fine.

It's a bummer to fail the last day of the last cycle, but as it turns out, it's difficult to bake and not taste along the way. And keep tasting after it's all done.

I'm tempted to try and purge. I'm nauseous, although I haven't eaten much - it's just so insanely sweet. And I do feel guilty. I was doing such a good job at sticking to this diet.

But no. I won't go down this rabbit hole. No purging. No compensating. I overate, shit happens. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again tomorrow. I'll do better next time. I did good either way, tomorrow we'll see how much I've lost during those three weeks, today isn't going to matter in the long run.

I must admit, this last cycle was rather enjoyable. I wonder if it is because I got used to the restriction (if that's the case, then it's a shame I'm going on a break now) or if just life got in the way.

I'll do a little summary tomorrow.

And I'm back at it again.

I was eating whatever for the past week (and the Shrove Thursday, god help me), so the gain doesn't really surprise me. I think it's mostly food and water weight, but even if it's not, it went down once, I'll make it go down again.

So I fucked it up, which was kind of to be expected.
Need a new plan as hopping right back into low res seems impossible.

I'm going to be gradually cutting my intake until Sunday and then jump right back onto 2468 diet on Monday. Hopefully this approach will work 🤡

Overall I'm kind of disappointed in myself; I was doing so well before. I don't regret that trip, but I regret falling off of track. My hunger cues are back and I would eat just to chew, to constantly feel full, just eat whatever.

I know it's the result of low res, but I'll literally do anything to force myself back into the groove; I'm not ready to stop just yet.

Let's just not talk about what was happening in the past weeks. Not letting that happen ever again.

My weight is also a disappointment. Will update at the end of the week probably.
