Okay, I'm new to this part of the forum, so I'm going to do my best to try and follow the rules. Mods, please let me know if anything needs to be changed. Thank you.
I've started to get worried about a habit of mine I've noticed lately. All my life I've been big, and somewhat happy with it, as long as I was healthy. As far as the BMI is concerned, I've been obese my whole life. The BMI is pointless, however, but that's another rant for another day.
Onto the habit. I've noticed that when I eat more than a couple times a day, I feel like I've eaten too much, and that I'm gaining weight. I've been on Weight Watchers for a little over a month now, and progressing as I should be, until this last week. I've been having stomach issues which pretty much causes pain when I eat. My doctor thought something may be inflamed, and put me on clear liquids at first, then the BRAT diet, and then I can move to bland foods and finally restart my regular food, over four days if everything works out well. After having some chicken and white rice on day three, and the ensuing stomachache afterwards, I decided to stick on the BRAT diet for a while longer. Yesterday, I ate enough food that would be considered possibly a single small meal for anyone, over the entire day. As I was thinking about this before bed, I thought that I ate way too much, and that I was going to gain a lot of weight back from it.
So here's my worry. Is this a sign of something not right with my line of thinking? I'm going to try and see my doctor today, and I have an appointment with my counselor tomorrow, but I'm just kinda... freaking out a bit? Thanks for listening.
