WHY AM I SO BAD AT FEEDING MYSELF

Still haven’t learned how to be photogenic…
pasta for dinner. #vegan (Taken with instagram)
Dinner! Tried to get as many carbs and as much protein as I could in a relatively small amount, since my stomach has been shrinking over the past week.
Also, I tried to make it look pretty.
…it just seems to have reversed itself.
For the longest time, when I got stressed/angry/depressed I would turn to food. If I felt a void within myself, I’d try to fill it with anything. And food was the easiest option. Now, when something rattles me, I can’t eat. My hunger disappears for days at a time and I never know when I’ll feel the urge to feed myself. I am still trying to eat…but I’m not hungry. Yet. I know it’ll return, though. I don’t really know if that makes much sense.
So I kind of feel like an emotional non-eater right now.
The last time I got upset like this (in August/September ‘11) I dropped from 155 to 147 in less than two weeks. When I did eat, I couldn’t keep anything down. I deliberately didn’t write about any of that in this blog (or any blog) because I really do try to keep things on here positive and health-oriented. For the vast majority of my weight loss process over the past year and a half, I have lost weight in a very healthy manner. But sometimes I just get so down that my healthy mindset flies out the window and I stop taking care of myself.
A week ago I weighed 141. This morning I weighed 135. Now that I’ve seen that number, I’m afraid to see it go up again. But this isn’t healthy and I’m doing myself more harm than good. It wasn’t intentional, but I still felt the need to write about it to hold myself accountable. So….yeah. Today I’ve had a glass of Silk Fruit&Protein, a LunaBar, a few sips of coffee, and a lot of water. Which is terrible because it’s now 9pm. I’m going to go make something good for dinner and post a picture of it as motivation to eat before I sleep tonight.
Any tips or words of encouragement in the meantime would be greatly appreciated, though.
I am very emotionally shaky right now.
I do not know when I’ll be okay again.
Just one goal right now
I made myself go to the gym today.
I’ve also had lots of water.
Boo-yah.
CW: 141.2lb
That’s up two pounds from when I last weighed myself on January 28th.
Basically maintaining isn’t too shabby. Even considering I’ve celebrated my birthday and gone on multiple social outings since. I do need to drink more water, though.
New book! Nine bucks from the local bookshop.
Also, my first time trying soy yogurt, since it was on sale at Kroger. It’s actually pretty good.
-Posts ZERO “thinspo”/random girls in bikinis/typical “hipster” chick photos
-Has calculated your BMR (if you count calories) and eat based around that, not around an arbitrary calorie number (and never below 1200)
-Isn’t focused on an “UGW” but your general level of fitness…

Truth. Can’t really resist them, darn it!
So I rarely get the opportunity to take full-body shot photos as I don’t have the proper mirror in my house…but this was my outfit out on the town today! Feeling pretty good about my body at the moment.
70 degrees and sunny in Athens on February 2nd….craziness.
