Hey guys! I haven’t gotten my period back yet, but a small win in my food freedom and ending restricted eating journey, I suggested going out for breakfast so I could get a big ole stack of pancakes 🥞 literally nothing crazy but old me would stress about having to go out to eat I’d be studying the menu and calculating the entire night before and I never thought I’d be one to suggest eating out! Everyday is a small step but just feeling a little proud about this one! Which pancake combo is the best?? In my opinion I love a chocolate chip one but I’d love to hear your fave! :) love you guys 🤍🫶

I understand my body is not used to this amount of food, and that I have been experiencing a lot of reactive hunger recently at night which has led to like inhaling quite a lot of food at once before bed. Anyways I’m trying to eat more substantial meals earlier to prevent that but still a work in progress. But anyways this next part may be a little tmi but this is a safe space right? LOL anyways I’ve had terrible digestive issues. I have had so much intestinal pain, lots of bloating, really smelly gas (like so bad LMAO), and just overall nausea and like dizziness after I eat a lot? I don’t even know what the heck is happening. Any advice? How to push through the chaos of recovery and is this normal or part of the process? How much longer till my body and metabolism speeds up to match my intake?
