Yesterday, I had half a box of cheez-it duos (sharp cheddar and parmesan) at about 2pm…after getting up about 8am and going for a run at 11am. Didn’t eat again until I got home from picking up my wife at the airport at 10:30pm. I ate about 3 servings of tater tots. Didn’t eat again until 6pm today. Fucking hell that’s not great.

To add another part on from another clinical psychologist/therapist: it seems like sometimes just assuming what the person is looking for validation or help can cause some problems one way or the other. Sometimes just asking directly what they are looking for is worthwhile. It can be a beneficial exercise in clarifying expectations and takes out chance for a “wrong” (used VERY loosely) choice of approach or possibly missed signals. Personally and anecdotally, it seems to bring more awareness into the equation for everyone involved overtime (if doing so with a partner/friend/family member/etc.).
