Yesterday's binging and purging was a wake up call. It seems that my pdoc is right and excessive restriction will lead to binging. I want to do CR, real CR, not eat like an anorexic. In real CR, eating 600 kcal a day is not normal. I was pretty much deluding myself into thinking I was doing CR.
I want to avoid going down the b/p road no matter what it takes. Binging and purging is total hell. If increasing my calories back to a normal dieting amount is what it takes, so be it. I'd rather not do CR at all than go through binging and purging again.
I think I'm doing OK today, I'm going to aim to eat 1200 to 1300 kcal. I think that is a healthy normal amount for dieting.
I will still try to follow the principles of CR and eat nutrient dense foods.
