Coping with Triggers: Tips and Strategies

I do not weigh myself or own a scale, that is usually a good place to start, I used to stand backward on the doctor scale or deny having my weight taken if I was not doing well, I still don’t really look at my body in the mirror out of habit, my full length mirror only comes out if I need to check shoes with an outfit, lol. But when it comes to triggers I think we can only avoid them for so long because our triggers are involved in literally everything we do, our entire day revolves around food and meals.

I wish avoiding the scale worked for me, but sadly I've noticed that if I don't weigh myself I drop even more weight and restrict myself even more 😓

I'll be honest, I'm still working on learning to cope, but I found a massive improvement in my well being once I stopped weighing myself. I got rid of my scale a few years back and I make a point of only weighing myself once or twice a year, something that's necessary for my medication. It's hard to just stop but I've found that it's improved my life a ton.
