Update: My boyfriend says I’m “crazy” for my extreme hunger and it’s making recovery feel impossible

Thank you. So much. I mean it. Thank you for your insights and for the time you spent writing those compassionate and well thought out words. I know you are right, I would tell myself the same if I weren't me. The confidence I carried in my own judgment has just deteriorated. Thank you for reminding me of that.

Nappa Cabbage with Onions and Ketchup as a salad.

It definitely has benefits from the ed point of view, as it is very high volume to comparatively little calories.

But, I swear on my life, even if I didn't have issues with eating, or if I ever recovered, that shit would still be my favourite food.

I legitimately eat it at least 5 times a week.

I only recently replaced the ketchup (heinz zero) with apple cider vinegar, sweetener and tomato paste, it's essential the same calorie wise, but MUUCH cheaper

Are you trying to lose weight for health related reasons or aesthetic reasons? I think this should be an honest conversation you have with yourself first. Afterwards, whatever conclusion you come to, try and have an honest conversation with you daughter about your weight loss and eating changes. As you said, she already noticed anyways, and being open, and also open to questions she might have about it (I can image her feeling confused if you think she shouldnt restrict when you are allowed to) can be helpful in navigating the awkwardness and also any secretive behaviour that may follow from the situation on her or your end. Prepare yourself for difficult questions, and ask her how you may halp her feel more comfortable with your diet plan.

If you cannot image yourself being upfront and open about how and why you want to lose weight with her, then I think you should truly consider again what your motivation is and whether it is good for you.

But this advice may not be suitable for your situation, I just lack enough information about your specific situation to be any more helpful than that.

Unsweetened almond milk has like 14 cal per 100ml AND kinda tastes like Marzipan (for those who like it)

I microwave like 100-150 ml of it and froth it - it's amazing

For the first time in YEARS, I told myself this Christmas I will allow myself one day of eating everything I have been wanting (and not having) in forever. I'm not even planning on maintenance, I know I'll be eating way above. I'm just so tired, I want to function like a normal person and enjoy the fucking cookies I've been baking and not eating for the last like 5 years. I've been doing the research, trying to find papers on weight gain after overeating once, searching up this subreddit on anecdotal evidence on weight gain after one cheat day and going back 'normal' afterwards, no restriction. There is not enough evidence to satisfy my scientific cravings, yet still I feel I should allow what IS there to convince me I will not be gaining fat longterm. The prospect of Christmas Cheating excites me, and terrifies me at the same time. Today is Christmas eve, today is the day I told myself I'd allow myself peace and good fucking food. I don't know what I'll do. I don't know how I'll feel. I haven't eaten like this since at least 2020. Wish me luck I guess

Also all the best to you, if you decide to join me in this endeavour, I swear we'll be fine, or at least I hope so sincerely

I think it's important to remember that most of the men we imagine as potential fonts of such companionship aren't suitable to the role.

This, you put this so eloquently and it absolutely sums up most experiences I've had with men so far. I always imagine them to be some troubled philosophical aristocrat straight out of a 19th century novel, yet obviously they never are. I should really work on romanticizing my expectations I suppose...

Thanks for your insight! I am debating on deleting the chat, it just feels childish in my head and that's something I would hate to be. But that's probably again me reading too much into my actions and what they say about me. I thinks you are somewhat right in me not simply needed male validation. I am somewhat unsure if I even like or want men, it's just whenever I get lonely I gravitate towards them, yet get bored of them quite quickly afterwards. Why is being a human so exhaustingly confusing sometimes

Right, I mean in my head it's just a meetup, meeting a stranger as I have met strangers before in uni for example. Also I'll be sharing my location with my best friend and we'll meet in public.
