  • cant eat anything outside of my omad
  • cant eat my omad before 5pm
  • cant eat my omad for longer than 1h
  • cant have more than 2-3 pieces of gum a day
  • cant have over 20cal of drinks a day (incl counting broth, diet soda, tea, energy drinks)
(all of this basically started at the same time)
 
I only really have two that are new to this relapse
-my morning coffee doesn't count if I'm using sf flavour syrup (I can't focus without it and creamer is only 35/tbsp)
-only my laptop can be used for ed purposes??? I bought it for school so idk with this one
 
I can’t count cals or weigh in at all. I’ve figured out it was causing all my issues with sticking to medium-high res and overeating - something about seeing the cal numbers made me compulsively eat more and constantly think about food/just felt worse.

Knowing my weight at any weight triggers b/p 😭 so I stay somewhat aware of cals and try to estimate under 1000

also can drink unlimited amounts of Zevia/black coffee every day to curb appetite (don’t recommend) and must go for a walk everyday/dance in room for at least 2 hours of exercise

im not counting cals rn either. i still estimate around what i am eating and roughly count in my head but i dont weigh or log it. i feel like i am eating less this way anyway since i will overestimate more to be safe and when i log i tend to eat close to my limit (granted i overestimate then too but less). and i am also thinking about food less
 
I can’t eat after 4:30 pm
I can’t eat anything off of my safe food list (it’s a strict detox list for gerd but works so well for ana)
I have to get 16,000 steps (10 kilometres) a day
I have to stay within my calorie budget
 
i have to eat the same meal and tear it when eating each bite ONLY in IOP treatment (1 meal i eat there)

probably doing it because i think i'll only be helped if im restrictive, so i guess 'performance'= accountability to restrict? who cares. who knows.
 
milk and artificial sweetener only in coffee (or better, sugar free energy drinks but $$$), can’t have a side food item in the lunches i bring to work besides fruit (so like a meal item and fruit), protein bars are my only safe breakfast atp, and i eat less if i’m doing nothing all day bc i don’t care ab brain fog

I allow myself real sugar in my coffee only if I have walked outside that day
If I have only walked/paced at home, I'm only allowed to have 0 cal sweetener, regardless of the steps
 
Got to burns at least 500 active kcal per day during school time and over 15k steps- even more when on holiday, have to get to 15k steps before 12pm if I can
 
Seeing how long I can last eating the same 3 things everyday - It’s medium res and somewhat balanced I think

I’m allowed to eat a spoonful of black sesame seeds if feeling bad at night/to help sleep

No food in the house other than the sesame seeds
 
no eating after 8 pm. i typically hv breakfast b4 work at like arnd 6 am. then my lunch time at work is 11 am n i eat smth small or nothing. then i eat my heaviest meal when i get home from work which is usually 4:30 pm. so i basically hv 3 and a half hrs uninhibited eating time for the day lol bc i dont snack at work or b4 work so lol. idky 8pm my brain just started being oh it's almost 8 if u want anything else to eat hv it now or never. n if i do really need/ want to eat after 8 i feel guilty
