(Potential TW: disordered eating?)
I’ve been trying CICO for almost a year, in various formats. The first 9 months I did it all wrong and went way too hard, so I took a break and started again end of January and it’s working much better, I’ve lost almost a kilo and a half!
The problem is, lately I’ve felt myself obsessing over it. I use an app and I was opening it multiple times a day, I weighed myself twice yesterday... Today I was ill (unrelated, just headache and insomnia) and as a result ate badly (200kcal over) and I feel terrible about dieting overall. It feels like all I can think about is eating and it’s starting to worry me? Especially small unhealthy things such as mini cupcakes, popcorn, 100g of a pudding I like...
I’m wondering if this is normal or not, and whether I should stop using the app for a few days to "reset" and calm it down, and then start again. Even without the app I have a pretty good grasp on what to eat to meet my calorie goal, I’m just hoping I wouldn’t obsess over numbers so much anymore.
Thank you for your help.
