Finding the middle ground
Hey guys
I feel like I shouldn't be posting here as I never come this board or post support or anything. The only reason I don't is just because it kicks up old thoughts and yeah.
Anyway.
At the moment I'm at a point where I would like to loose some weight - I'm 'normal' but can definitely afford to loose some. I have to be really really careful because I have M.E which is really affected by food at times. I've put more on to try and help me get through uni with lectures and so on, I was told to eat for energy and so on. I've hated it, but I've done it. I'd rather eat more and go to uni than the opposite!
My problem is that I'm very much a 'all or nothing'. I don't really know how you know what's 'normal' food wise. Does anyone have any ideas as to.. I don't know, find out what's 'normal'
As much as I would really really like to go down the 'nothing' route I know that it would be so bad with my M.E
But I just don't know how to loose a bit without totally restricting. I spoke to a counsellor I was seeing about it.. she didn't really have much help other than the warnings not to get back like I was.
I don't really know, this sounds all stupid! Is it okay to eat breakfast, have a piece of fruit for lunch then a proper dinner?
I just don't know what's the right thing! what's healthy dieting and what's abnormal, I don't think I've known in years, I know 'all' from other people eating and nothing because it's obvious and I've done it before!
I'm just trying to stay healthy and in control! I'm not self harming at the moment (not sure how!) but I've had it before when I've stopped for a length of time and then that's when my eating goes haywire, I just don't want that at the moment.
