...See more Hi everybody. It's been a long while since I've been on 7cups, and I normally only come when I'm going through a really bad rough patch. I've been doing okay for a while as it being summer where I live so there was no school stress/anxiett or the stress/anxiety of having to talk to people on a daily basis. BUT now I'm starting my freshman year of college and it's already taken a toll on me and my body. I had been at a stable weight for a few months now and have been stressing because I need to lose more (this isn't the eating disorder talking, I am legitmately overweight for my age and height according to my doctor, which is a key driver of my ED but thats an entirely different topic). I just finished my first week of college and have managed to only eat in the dining hall once and haven't eaten a full meal since due to my social anxiety of eating in front of people but also anxiety of going to the hall by myself (really no solution here as it would seem). With me not eating very much and walking countless miles to and from class AND going to the gym daily, my calorie defecit has been HUGE and for the first time in months...I lost weight. It's scaring me that my first thought at the end of the week was "I wonder if I lost any weight..." I need tips on how to keep from relapsing and how to cope with the anxiety and stress that comes from school and having to eat. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
