Hi Onicemile.
I think I’m over dieting (restricting) as well, I am just really enjoying the raw whole food. My diet now comprises of mainly fruits and a leafy green salad once a day. I vary what I eat day to day like 3 days ago I ate 2 watermelons and one other small one as a snack between them one in the am and the other pm. But on the whole I have around 1 bunch of bananas a day so that 6-8 bananas, a handful of dates, mixed berries, something like apples, mangos, grapefruit etc between meals. I actually need to eat more according to raw food gurus my cal cound is 1800 on most days they say it should be over 2000 but I cant fit anymore in my stomach right now and although im over cutting cals I am struggling to hit the 1800 as it is I feel like I an eating too much, i have been re educated and i know im not over eating but I feel full all day. The leafy salad is spinach, some kind of lettuce, 2 tomatoes, ½ cucumber and some red, green and yellow pepper and ½ a small red onion, squeeze of lemon juice and a very small amount of olive oil. I think the expense of this varies depending on where you are in the world, but in the UK, this is not any more expensive than my normal shop. I spent £30 (37EUR) last week if I did my shop normally and bought good quality meat then it would have been the same. and I had to freeze 2 bunches of bananas because they were rover rip and I couldn’t get to them. Also I have lost 5lbs without even tiring. In fact I’m doing the opposite stuffing my face all day long. Its not helping with NBE but The goal is high carbohydrates low protein and low fat. Interestingly my breasts feel fuller despite the shift away from fat and protein, It may just be that I am eating more. If I get poor or it gets expensive and I want a cheap week, potatoes, pasta and rice. These will have to be cooked obviously and are not as good as fruit but they still work.
I know what you mean about food being pleasure. I have been single for 3 years, the guy I was sleeping with, it got very messy and so that’s over now. I too have no friends. But I find a bowl of strawberries as pleasurable as a bowl of prawns. (I love sea food especially shell fish) so I’m good with this lifestyle and the improvements in my health I have experienced over the last 2 weeks have been huge. I also don’t want food to the answer to problems I really want to deal with stuff properly.
Although I have CL cups you are a D cup or more and I’m a B I think XL cups are a good choice for you. The CL would be too small. I am coming close to needing to go up to XL soon, possibly around September so I think you have the right size now. I will take some time to retain the swell don’t worry and when the right size comes you may find this easier. Make sure to drink a lot of water all day to help with this.
Good luck XX
