"Right, so... the whole food thing.   I've been eating at maintenance for a year and a half, but I don't know what that is in calories and macros. It's 2 years since I started recovery from binge eating disorder, and I suspect that the initial 30lbs I got shot of were binge weight that I used to maintain on top of what I have now. Recovery has gone / is going extremely well, but every time I try to track my food intake, I go nuts and relapse. Hmmmmm. Now if diet's 80% of this thing (or thereabouts) then I need to find a way round it.   Finally I find a use for evernote!! Instead of trying to add foods into My Fitness Pal as I go, I'm just going to write something down when I eat it, just WHAT IT IS. I'm eating 'normally' (whatever that means for me) and it's taken me so long, and I ain't gonna screw that up. I figure that if I can add up my calories and macros a week behind and average them out, I can find out what the biggest culprits are in screwing my progress. Then, if I want to eat that thing, I can just be extra judicious with my intuitive eating techniques around that food, and find out if I really want it or if I just want an hour of gaming or a chat or a walk or a sleep or whatever. In the hope that my calorie intake will start to adjust when I look it up again a few weeks later, and my eating habits should naturally adjust over time. Long way for a shortcut, but whatever. I just feel that if I decouple the act of tracking a food from the act of actually EATING that food, it won't send me headlong into a binge cycle.   Thinking out loud here. This could work. \n"
