Update (Friends expressing concern re: ED)

[Deleted]

I posted a few weeks ago about some friends expressing concern that I had an eating disorder related to over-exercising. I met with a sport psychologist recommended by my PCP this morning and good news kids, I'm (mostly!) normal. I have obsessive tendencies that are not restricted to exercise - which I knew already. Once I get into something, I get INTO it. 

She has restricted me from calorie counting and weighing myself for now and wants to re-evaluate me in 3 months just to make sure. 

I wanted to thank everyone for their support and give y'all an update.

Glad to hear you are well!

That is great and seems like a good thing to eliminate those two things for now!

[sadlebred]

Glad it went well!!

It's great that you listened to your friends and looked into this. That's often the toughest thing to do. Good for you and I'm very happy to hear you are on the right track!

I'm glad it went well.

Will it be hard for you to legit stop calorie counting? I feel like when you know the calories in most of your favorite foods that it is hard not to have a general sense of calories eaten.

Brit - nah, I haven't even good at it for a while. I have the urge to count some days and it's hard to not do so.

Not getting on the scale is more of a challenge.

Thanks for sharing your update. I can relate.

My resolution this year is to not weigh myself and it's been more difficult than I thought it would be. I'm a numbers person and I love tracking things. I'm scared my weight will get out of control this year because I don't have the scale to keep me in check.

Good Luck! I miss your frequent posts:)

I start a new (same company) job in 2 weeks. I should have more time to hang out!

Oh and the part not about me! (I'm such a jerk).

Your pants will tell you if things are 'out of control'. That's what my trainer told me. But don't sweat it, skinny. You're awesome and you don't need the scale to keep you honest!
