#lifesum app

This isn't the same as sobriety, but I've made it 8 days now into recording my food/water intake on Lifesum, which is an app I'm using to help me with my binge eating and my dehydration

I've made it 32 days on it before, last year, so this isn't new, but I struggle with consistency and I'm pretty proud to have made it this last week because:

1) I've had the recommended amount of water every single day since starting

2) I've only ripped off cheese chunks from the brick of cheese with my bare hands and eaten them naked in the kitchen at 2am twice instead of every night

3) I'm eating a few times a day now instead of nothing until dinner and then slamming 2k+ calories into my face and getting tummy hurty

4) I have not yet corrected, but am now aware of the fact that I've been eating very low nutritional value foods that are high salt, and that's good information to be aware of. So I've had more fruit the last couple days

So yeah! Idk, I'm pleased. Not sure how long I'll keep it up but for now it's been good

With my new food tracking app, any calories I burn with exercise gives me more calories towards snacks. 😄

I think I've plateaued my weight loss....getting to the gym in recent months was/is hard with no car because I had to rely on my friend to drive me, which meant a lot of replacing gym time with 3-3.5 mile walks around the neighborhood 4-5 days per week. In light of mental health issues, I decided last weekend to resurrect my yoga membership (at a studio I can walk to!) because it can serve not only as a hobby I enjoy, but as a balm for mental health while at the same time providing the exercise I want. I gave up the membership a while ago because it was expensive, but I decided that the investment would be worth it in the long run. Plus, canceling my PF black card will free up $20/month. I went back through my lifesum app (started tracking in May) and found that my average daily calorie intake since I started tracking has been around 1250 per day. In truth, yes I fight my way through hunger some days - or drink enough water to make the hunger subside. Being vegan, I already inherently eat fairly low calorie meals. Not sure what else I can do that I'm not already doing to get myself off the plateau. I'd say more cardio, yes, but it's hard to do that shit outside when it is so hot and I am so bad with the heat. I think that yes, I would still like to get to my original goal which is still around 18lb away (already lost around 20 but it took forever just to do that), but I also really want to get stronger and to have the physical evidence show on my arms and belly. I kinda see it on my arms and my two pack, but the lower abdomen is just so freaking hard to crack!
