I wish I could say it's gotten easier.
Charlie is a dream. A pretty much perfect baby- and being a mom is hands down my favorite thing I've ever done.
But the voices haven't stopped. I'm back on my anxiety medicine- so the voices are quieter- but they are still there.
I have been eating as intuitively as possible- but am still skipping meals. I want to say it's not intentional- but it probably is. It's so much easier to just not eat. It's not the answer- but it works. And it's even easier with the distraction of a baby. He takes up most of my time- so really- when do I have time to eat.
At my 6 week doctors appointment she told me that I had lost a third of the weight I gained. Everyone is telling me how great that is. But in my head- guessing what I gained- I really only lost the weight of Charlie. So I don't feel like I've accomplished anything.
She told me to walk. Try and do 5,000 steps a day. Naturally I am trying to do 10,000. I bought an eliptical, dance and walk while holding the baby and make as many trips as I can while doing all chores. I hang up each item and put them in my closet one at a time. Just to take more steps.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little obsessed. But I think I've balanced that voice a little bit (the obsessive one)
I've allowed myself to not reach my goal. But it feels like shit when I don't.
This process is gonna be a lot.
Relapse still looks like the better option.
