Wow how do you walk that much before eating? I struggle to walk 3k before eating tbh, most of my steps are done after food.

If it doesn’t taste good cold, it won’t taste good hot
I just feel like I can physically feel the calories in cold foods, it helps me determine what is and isn’t worth it

I’m so proud of you!! I’m inspired!! I can’t weigh right now and this just made me think wow that’s okay. What if I did that?? Thanks lol!

It helps a lot! I weighed weekly for 2 months before this short bout of daily weigh-ins and it's crazy how much more relaxed I feel overall. Thursdays and Fridays are a bit stressful but the rest of the week I don't even think about my weight, just about staying on track! Really helps not get affected by the number 😊

 

[hantasm]

check ingredients of everything

 

[voguelite]

Weighing only on Fridays instead of every day. Rare instance of me making a "positive" rule for myself

I started weighing myself once a week too, on Thursdays! It really helps me mentally when I can be more sure that the number on scale reflects my current weight loss and not random water and food weight fluctuations from day before.
Also no weigh-ins just before or during my period, I've spiraled so hard previously because of period weight gain.

only eat in front of other people. lately ive been feeling like a glutton whenever i eat by myself. I associate eating by myself with secrecy and binge eating so yah

If the question was for me:
Idk honestly. Sometimes I get this weird nervous energy when I'm fasting. I'm tired but wired if that makes sense? And I drink lots of coffee. I feel too guilty if I eat before I have completed my daily step goal. It is extremely disordered and I don't recommend. There is no real benefit.

 

[stopit-ly]

Only raw foods before 4pm, vegan. Trying it out and I love it

 

[the same dark]

Mine is: No calories allowed before I hit 30000 steps for the day

Go

This seems pretty debilitating. I'm really sorry you're struggling so much with the number of steps right now

It is. I lie to myself that I am in control by doing the steps and then eating but the fact is, I have never been so out of control in my life. It feels like my ED is evolving. I don't know how to get out of this and I'm afraid it's going to get worse (more and more steps before eating etc.)

 

[darkbarbie]

usually only real change is some sort of new addition to long list of pointless tasks I have to do in order to earn main meal in evening. don't have OCD, neurotic stuff just gets worse more restrictive/lower I am, they just kind of creep in w/o me noticing as subconscious way to postpone. and now we're at little over 2 hours of stupid shit

latest thing is requirement to wipe down main doorknobs bc god forbid I touch door handle before eating + someone else touched it 9 hrs ago w microscopic particles of food on hands I guess

OMG this! So many pointless tasks before I allow myself to eat. It is ridiculous. Taking a shower, making sure everything around me is as clean as possible, wearing only comfortable clothes etc. I'm so sorry you are struggling with this as well.

 

[andtheuniversesaid]

no food before 12, 1 mile walk/run whatever after morning tea

 

[Red_tulip_loves]

Eat protein, at least 50g per day. Preferably 75g+. I don’t always manage this though.

electrolytes! I’m trying to be better at taking potassium and magnesium. I don’t want another fucking admission

hydration. I’ve have some stage 1 AKIs and I need to hydrate more.

taking vitamins and supplements (don’t always manage )

lose the weight I gained in hospital

I'm trying to increase protein too! And electrolytes are a must, I'm probably running low key dehydrated at all times as I get leg cramps pretty often :/

 

[berrybones]

Hour of cardio minimum everyday. Doesn't have to be the same activity and can be spread out. Possible new rule is burning a minimum of 200cal a day while doing the cardio. Manageable for now, at least.

 

[tinybutterflylove]

No more food after 7:30pm
Lowered my high restriction intake limit to 1200
Increased activity goal to 1hr walking daily minimum, and an hour of any type of strenuous activity
Only liquid calories allowed 3 days a week to keep suspicion down as well as ‘wasted calories’
High protein diet- must have protein with absolutely everything so I can maintain muscle mass
18:6 intermittent fast everyday

 

[despiteallmyrage]

weighing myself max twice a week, my weight fluctuates so much day to day that the mental torture of daily weighing is just not worth it

 

[frickfrack]

I dont have a recently made rule, but i recently unlocked fasting as a skill. Never in my whole ed career have I been able to fast longer than 24 hours. But last week I was freaking out over a 4000 calorie binge and boom. Didn't eat for 42 hours- Only decided to break the fast so i could break my 'record' later. It awoke something in me unfortunately

 

[FearneTakesEverything.]

I can have caffeinated drinks if my body is called for calories. Its like a check-in between eating - are you hungry or just tired/bored?

 

[Croverse]

I'm only allowed to have a snack if I walk 1000 steps first
I used to bored eat snacks while gaming, but this helps me cut that down AND get steps in!

 

[scarystrawberries]

I have to walk for thirty minutes after dinner to earn a final snack later
