I want a normal life! That's my goal now. To live like a normal well-balanced person.
Though I must keep my meal plan separate and steady. I can live like a normal person, but my meal plan is set. It's my medication.
I really hope I can land that job at Spencer's. I have an interview today!
It sounds like it won't be a lot of hours, which is nice. It won't overwhelm me hopefully and just give me extra cash and structured time.
I didn't reach 2hours yesterday! WOW! I KNOW!
I only walked about 95mins. I had the chance to walk more since I was home alone last night but I didn't. And I added an extra starch with snack because I knew I didn't have quite enough at dinner.
I feel not so pressured now. When Sunny said I could walk 2 hrs a day before, I took that as a should. Haha. I know. I felt that 2hours a day was the only way that i wouldn't gain a whole bunch. But now, with my upped meal plan and the decreased walking I know I will gain and that it's because of the protein bars, the cut on walking and the increased meal plan.
I do want to gain weight, but only when I know it's from extra then what I'd usually eat if I could control my food and walking. I always freak out about gaining if I didn't have a scapegoat. Something to blame for the weight gain. When I don't I end up not trusting my body and metabolism. I feel that my body will always gain due to my appetite and metabolism. I just feel more at ease being able to have the supplements to excuse the weight increase. It's as though saying that it's their fault, not mine.
So I must stay aware with my eating and exercise. I need to remind myself that if I do restrict it'll only hurt me in the long run because if I do gain when I know that I am not enough or exercising too much, I'll turn against my body and think that I need to over-control it just to maintain and not always, always gain.
I will gain weight because:
1- My weight is low, thus it needs less calories to maintain.
2- I take protein bars which add at least 500 calories a day extra then what I'd usually eat.
3- The decreased walking.
4- The increased meal plan. I wouldn't usually eat so much at every meal. I'd have a fruit instead of a starch, or not as many starches or fats. But I can't do that now, right now I need the extra foods.
I am in control of my appetite. Though I don't need to be. Listening to my wants and my appetite will not lead me to gain forever, espeically at a normal, healthy weight. My weight is so low now, that it requires less calories then my goal weight.
Another goal today is to:
Have complete fruit with noon snack. At lunch I'll have 1/2 banana. And a 1/2 apple with noon snack equaling one full fruit.
For my p.m. snack I will have: Apple, and raisins.
I do feel in a better spot now though. I think the site of the weight loss made me aware yet again that I do need extra food then what I'd usually eat to gain. It was reassurance that my body wasn't completely fucked up and that I need to put extra effort into eating more to gain because I want to gain and thus I need to eat more.
110 pounds is not fat. It's still thin. I will always be healthy and will always exercise and will always be eat accordingly.
I know the exercise I 'should-ed' myself, was me still holding on to the ed in one way or another. To feel in control.

I often wonder what it would be like to be "normal." To be able to just eat without the torment and guilt would be so wonderful, and yet I can't ever seem to find my way to that place. I'm sorry that you lost weight, but it is good that you are aware of what you need to do to correct it, and are so willing to do that. Good for you! Good job on cutting your exercise down a bit. What an accomplishment:)
Take care, and I hope that you have a great weekend!
