What if you ignored the calories and focused on working out intensely?

It might help to think about fiber intake so that you feel full for longer? I also get triggered by tracking though, even when it's just protein :( If you're making sure your goals aren't too extreme of a jump and you listen to your body though I'm confident you'll find it less difficult with time! I believe in you <3

At some point it’s mind over matter

I guess I'm assuming here, but is the issue more about overall hunger vs. restriction of specific foods that are hard to have control around? For the former, fiber is your friend. For the latter, something I've taken away from therapy is giving myself permission to have a small amount removes the guilt and the all-or-nothing thoughts that avalanche into having more than a small amount

Obviously disordered eating looks different for everyone so if none of that resonates or you weren't looking for advice then ignore it! And just know that you are not alone
