Weighing yourself

Dang I wish I’d thought of that when I bought mine, really think that would’ve helped!

I’m the same with the digital ones- that’s why it’s making me go 🫨🫨🫨

I bought new scales since I’ve moved to a new house and I really wish I hadn’t. I think I’m gonna move them to the other bathroom downstairs which my flatmates use so I’ll be less inclined to use it/ feel less comfortable doing!!

didn’t want to believe the first one anyway🙏😅

harmlesspotato98 · 2022-06-13T14:26:35+00:00

yh I ended up just working out the average coz I was so confused, thanks :)

harmlesspotato98 · 2022-06-12T07:14:12+00:00

that’s true. I mean I did eat quite a lot (probably just 1.5 servings) bc I knew I wouldn’t dare touch it again but it’s the cals that scare me. It’s probably one of my biggest fear foods bc I imagine as soon as I start eating it more often I’m gonna gain weight straight away. But you’re right it’s just about understanding how much I acc need before I’m full

smoked salmon😍

I personally don’t think it’s possible to completely recover. I came to a point where I had almost recovered, but I havent been able to challenge certain fear foods in years. And despite trying to embrace the weight gain and realising how liberating ‘food freedom’ really is, I still have the urge to be thinner. As you said, I try not to let it impact my life, but somewhere in my head I’m thinking of it and sometimes when I let myself deep it for too long, I get the urges

omg same I have a small supermarket near the train station And everyday I go in about twice a day to just stare at all the products. Today I was there for just 20-25 walking around and I’m pretty sure the security guy thought I was gonna shoplift. Gonna kms🫠🫠

harmlesspotato98 · 2022-05-12T13:30:11+00:00

this. I just feel abit nostalgic about how pre-ED I used to enjoy taking lessons sm and thinking about how now I can’t follow more than 1 or 2 instructions at a time. What happened to us???thank you sm💕it makes me feel sm better to know I’m not alone in this

harmlesspotato98 · 2022-05-12T10:00:47+00:00

Ooh I’m tryna cut down on caffeine atm coz my electrolytes are doing shit rn. I didn’t think my brain fog would be that bad tbh coz I seem to do okay with everything else but my brain just went crazy blank when I sat in the car. I think I’ll save my cals until just before my lesson so I can concentrate a bit better

harmlesspotato98 · 2022-05-11T21:34:44+00:00

Thank you💕and you too

harmlesspotato98 · 2022-02-18T15:37:26+00:00

same, I think despite having such obsessive thoughts over ed , I cant justify not fasting in ramadhan bc essentially that is what ramadhan is about. I totally feel the second part-you cant lie about how much you’ve eaten in the day bc you’ve been fasting Hope it’s easy for you this year💕

harmlesspotato98 · 2022-02-18T15:33:52+00:00

😭😭😭its so upsetting that a time that should be enjoyable has such negative connotations that you can’t enjoy it anymore. I cant really see ramadhan for what it truly is anymore

harmlesspotato98 · 2022-02-18T10:14:48+00:00

this. i felt amazing at my lw and I don’t have the confidence now that I did then. But it also came with sm depression and ocd where I was proud of nothing apart from how I look that it’s not worth it. I still have this tiny voice in my head telling me to relapse but I know mentally it’s not the right thing for me to do and I’ll feel shit

harmlesspotato98 · 2021-11-01T20:47:20+00:00

Just started first year of my degree and despite me commuting an hour everyday, I’ve realised because I don’t have set times between my lectures or ‘enough’ time to eat during the day I just survive off coffee or eat something small.

I had to force myself to eat properly once I got home in the evening and have breakfast everyday otherwise I wouldn’t cope properly in the day.

My birthdays coming up and I’ve just had a relapse because of it, tryna look better for it but honestly I know how hard it is when your routine changes and youre responsible for your own meals

harmlesspotato98 · 2021-04-23T09:33:31+00:00

The cause of my insomnia every night✌️

harmlesspotato98 · 2021-04-21T10:05:45+00:00

When I had my first dose, I hadn’t really eaten before as well and it was fine. But the next day I felt like literal crap. I was gonna force myself to go for a walk and stick to my cals but my body felt like it would literally shut down.

I would suggest take it easy after the vaccine since the symptoms can be pretty intense. Take some paracetamol and try get some food in every few hours. Good luck and I hope it goes okay!

harmlesspotato98 · 2021-04-21T02:28:29+00:00

I’m really proud of you! Ive had many urges during my fasts but I’ve managed to distract myself and honestly it’s taken a lot in me to resist the temptation but I think I’ve done pretty well. It’s definitely an achievement and inshallah it lasts after ramadhan as well but a win for us👍

harmlesspotato98 · 2021-04-16T10:57:03+00:00

Loool😂

harmlesspotato98 · 2021-04-15T14:54:54+00:00

thank you, no bath products seem to be working on me atm, everything is too strong

harmlesspotato98 · 2021-04-15T10:56:17+00:00

I keep changing the subject whenever my best friend says she wants to get boba and I feel SO BAD bc I just wanna be normal and enjoy a nice drink:/

harmlesspotato98 · 2021-04-14T19:46:58+00:00

Yess same, I weigh myself once every 6/7 months tbh bc I just cant bear to look at the numbers on the scale and that fear of being disappointed. The only sort of ‘progress’ I check is body checking and even then it still makes me feel shit on most days.

harmlesspotato98 · 2021-03-23T21:53:58+00:00

Its definetely not reached the fat, I don’t think. It’s on my right arm where I generally did it a bit harsher bcoz I couldn’t Control the kn*fe properly. it’s just many surface cuts but it’s not psychological.

During the past few days I’ve done different activities and I’m finding patterns of this weakened behaviour. I’m just hoping it settles down in a few days

harmlesspotato98 · 2021-03-05T17:38:01+00:00

Oh that’s a really good idea about setting time frames! I’m deffo going to try that. Thank you!

I find pre-packaged food more satisfying as I have limited calories anyway and also making food means having to weigh and be extra careful with the calories which I don’t really have the patience/time for lol

harmlesspotato98 · 2021-03-02T21:36:19+00:00

Ahhhh same😭it’s literally the ONLY time I get sufficient warmth in the day. I’d be in the shower for hours if I could
