Hey all, it’s finals time.
Which means I’m horrifically stressed, haha. I’ve identified stress as a major trigger for binge-eating — it was the reason why I binged and gained so much weight in the first place during high school, and during midterms earlier this semester it reaaaaally took a toll on me and ended in a month of disordered eating.
I’ve since gotten back on track, and I’m at my lowest weight since I’ve started losing back in Late December — the world did not end with my binging, and even with the weight I’ve gained with it I’ve been losing weight steadily at ~1lb a week. Slow and steady does it, I suppose. I’ve also picked up the Couch to 5k program and I’m starting therapy as well to work on my mental health.
Since it’s finals, I’ve tentatively decided to give myself a maintenance week instead of continuing to restrict; it’s better than out right binging, but I still feel... guilty, I suppose. I’m used to taking a maintenance day or two, but a week feels... scary. Is this a good idea?
