I don't have a ton to say but I feel like I should. I'm not too worried about food on this trip; being in the field is the only time I really have a grasp on intuitive eating. It's so weird how I can switch into that mode of listening and honoring my body, but as soon as I'm back in civilization it's back to the old Rules.
I don't know if I've mentioned before that I'll be moving back in with my parents (and brothers) when I return. I never never never never EVER thought I'd do that, but it's sort of a financial necessity right now. Plus, I'll be in the field about 1/3 of the time for the next year, so it makes more sense not to be paying rent on an empty place. Anyway, I'm sure the new living situation will spark PLENTY of blog material when I get back. Historically, my eating always dips when I visit them, but going to try to establish healthy routines right off the bat this time. We'll see.
Happy 4th, I'll try to send one more update before I leave, love y'all!

And we love you! Please try to relax/rest over the next few days. Moving is so taxing!!
Safe travels, and remember that your first order of business is to take care of you! Nothing good can happen if you aren't healthy, mentally and physically ;)
That said, have fun and enjoy the experience! It sounds like an incredible opportunity and one you will truly benefit from. Can't wait for the recap!
good luck on your trip!
i can identify with what you said about your eating mindset changing in a particular situation. my ED went on hiatus when i went traveling. it was bizarre beyond belief... i restricted heavily right up until the day i left. i had this idea that overseas i would be free to live the life i wanted (free of food, that is) and it meant no intervention from anyone. and then i got on the plane, and ate the meal they gave me, and ate my way through Europe and Australia for the next 2 years. then i came home and the ED was here waiting for me.
anyway, sorry! this is about you. do well while you're away and take care :)
you don't know me but i've spent the last week or so pouring oer everything you've written. i've cried and laughed and yelled at the screen (thankfully no one witnessed). i just wanted to let you know that one time i actually got up and ate an entire sandwich, the whole thing including the bread. you make an impact and i love hearing about your adventures and conquests
Good luck! You come first, and remember to stay vigilant, even if you don't feel ED right on your back. That way you'll be even more prepared to fight it when you get home :) Can't wait to hear about your adventures!
