Hard to tell if I spent the last month in recovery or one big constant binge. But, either way I hate myself for it and I’m back! I feel absolutely disgusting!

The ~only~ upside to this is ALL the weight I gained back went to new and exciting places. So I have hips now. 🤢

Stats for April

Difference: -4.8 lbs

Thoughts:

April was an awful month for me mentally. I could write a book about how terrible this month alone has treated me and that’s not even on top of the year so far. I want to beat myself up about the constant binges and my sudden inability to stick to a calorie limit,but I won’t. The reality is I’m not in recovery... I just have depression and that caused me to over eat. I’m happy that I still managed to lose and not gain anything back. If i was to take anything away from this I think hope that it’s to just be kind to myself because i will struggle sometimes.

P.S. I truly believe I didn’t gain as much as I could’ve because I started to take Apple Cider Vinegar pills(to in the morning and two at night) not only did I lose from it when I was on track,but it regulated my bathroom usage a bit more and kept the weight off after a binge. You can also mix a bit with water and drink it at the same times for the same results. !! YOU HAVE TO MIX IT WITH WATER!!

Cravings and what they mean

If you crave carbohydrates, your serotonin levels may have dropped. Eggs, cheese and pineapple are good for raising them again.

If you crave sugar, you may be dehydrated. Drink some water or green tea.

If you crave red meat, you may be deficient in iron. Eat dried fruits like figs or prunes, or beans and legumes, or take iron tablets.

If you crave dairy, your blood sugar levels may be low. Eat foods naturally high in glucose, like oranges or strawberries to raise them.

If you crave chocolate, your magnesium levels may be low. Eat brown rice, whole grain bread or spinach to raise them.

If you crave salt, your blood pressure may be low. Eat salted nuts, whole wheat pretzels, or drink salted water to raise it. If that doesn’t work, you may be dehydrated. Drink water or green tea. 

If you crave bread, your nitrogen levels may be low. Eat turkey, black beans or brown rice to raise them. 

If you crave fried foods, you may be fatigued. Eat slow energy releasing foods like bananas or whole grain bread, or take a nap.

if you neglect a garden, plants will be overgrown, weeds will take over and it will be slowly become a mess. but if you wanted to start anew, you can. the weeds can be dug up, new flowers can be planted. patience and daily care will help it grow into a beautiful garden. it’s the same for yourself. if you want to change your habits and make steps to heal, it’s already a big step. it means you care about yourself, and caring is the first step to making a garden beautiful again.
