More of a personal diary post lol.
If you know me, you know that I have eating problems. I wasn't a very picky eater and I ate in normal portions, until January 2017. Sigh :( After I started staying in dorms, my eating habits were still quite "normal" in late 2016. My meal times on campus were earlier than what I'm used to because everyone ate after class. I was having dinner at 5pm at uni compared to 7pm to 8pm when I'm at home. At that time, my meal times (albeit early) were regular.
Time skip to weeks before finals. I stopped eating with friends and since I hate eating alone outside, I stayed in my room instead. There was a time where I only ate bread and biscuits for the entire day :/ that's probably the reason why I got sick after that. 不定时吃，又不吃正餐。不生病才怪。
After recovering from that whole ordeal, it took me months to finally feel comfortable with eating actually. During the months after being sick, I always prayed for the ability to keep my food down and prayed that I won't vomit before eating. It became sort of a trauma? My eating portions became so small and I became a bit more of a picky eater :( I continued being sick with eating issues on and off up until now.
Also, I got a new issue that sometimes suddenly arise. I cannot overeat. I must not. When I overeat (or when I sometimes 反胃), I enter this panic/freak out mode hahah some of you witnessed it before. You cannot mention anything about food, drinking or vomiting when I'm freaking out. Just hearing the words will trigger me and make me feel even sicker. Just give me a moment to calm down and I'll (hopefully) be fine. This usually happens when I forget that I'm full already and continue eating hahah seriously.
(1) Drinking more water
Tried to bring the 喝多多水 habit from having dengue fever into my daily routine. 现在每天平均喝3至4瓶水 (2250ml~3000ml). I think this helped me a lot. We're made up of mostly water so staying hydrated is, of course, good. More water helped my digestive system and bowel movement HAHA also, I need to pee like every hour now lol.
(2) Sleeping earlier
Slept at 12am to 1am+ for the whole week. 总之, made sure to sleep before 2am. I even gave up gaming for this TT but I'm definitely more awake in class (still sleepy in some of them cuz BORING ok hahaha)
(3) Exercise
Like FINALLYYYY. I haven't been to the gym in months HA. I'm only going once a week because I'm still a lazy worm hahah I'm so unfit that getting to the gym is a workout TT (gym is at the third floor)
(4) Being mindful of eating
Made sure to eat on time and was aware of my eating habits hoho. This time, I took slightly bigger portions during lunch and dinner. 因为之前每次拿很少饭很少菜，吃完后不够饱会吃饼干。So, it was like I'm replacing 正餐 with biscuits :/ I think this solution worked for me. Depending lesser on biscuits to become full. 总之，就是很 mindful of what, when and how much I'm eating.
Also!! I've been watching a few mukbang youtubers that help my appetite and make me excited for food :b I like to watch their videos while I eat heh but ofc I watch them even when I'm not eating :目
Honestly, these habits are really basic but I just haven't been doing them until this week. Hopefully these habit change lasts lol. Keep telling myself that "you must take care of the healthy body God blessed you with, don't destroy it." Mom's words also pop up in my head "不要拿生命来换娱乐".
If you read all my babbling, thanks lol.
You too! Take care of your body hahha.
The ability to crave for food is a blessing.
