I hope the doc clears me ok to run in the half-marathon in September…I really would like to do it. After that maybe I’ll stop running, because the more the I think on it the more I think that perhaps I really don’t like running and/or want to stop running…messing up my feet is an easy way out. But so is simply stopping my running habit. I feel like I know myself fairly well and I’m open to change, so this seems like a bizarre way for me to get myself to stop an activity. Maybe I’m over thinking it…the foot stuff could just all be pure accident and coincidence, nothing more.

peanut butter
pizza
rice & seaweed

I simply cannot eat peanut butter, it is like blood to a shark. I have no idea why, there must be something comforting, some extreme association with safety and warmth or something, that makes it so appealing to me. I don’t even really like peanut butter! I mean the taste is ok, but there are plenty of things I would much rather eat. But this food just makes me lose it, entirely. I’ve been on a peanut butter strike for a while, but I’d like to one day eat it again. I recently went on a pizza strike as well. The rice & seaweed is not so bad, it’s healthy low fat food but I can pack in so much of it in just one sitting…that’s a lot of carbs. Basically I can limit myself to just one serving of rice, but if I go a teaspoon over it my mind is like fuck it! excuse my language and I just go to town. Rice and seaweed is not only tasty, it feels good going down, like it makes my blood sing.

Do you have food triggers? How do you handle this issue? What are your coping skills? I would like to not be addicted to certain foods, for sure.

My answer:

110 -115 may be too little for you, depending on your frame. generally weight is based on height and sex. for women, first 5ft 100 poubds, then 5 pounds for every inch after. So a good weight for a 5’5 woman is 125. I’m 5’6 so 130 is good for me, but I’m aiming for 125 as my base weight because I tend to gain 5-7 pounds of water during my period.

So at 120 you might be at the best weight for you, which would make it a huge struggle to go lower. Try reducing the salt in your diet as salt causes many people to retain a lot of water weight. If you are not overeating and exercising at least 3x a week for 30 minutes each time, try doing that. If you are and the scale is not moving, you are probably at your best weight at 120 and to try to go lower would trigger your eating disorder. You don’t ever want to undereat, because that lowers your metabolism, upsets the sugar balance in your blood, all sorts of yucky things. As long as you don’t overeat and you get enough exercise, your body will resolve to the weight it’s supposed to be; it’s optimal weight.
