I go through cycles of tracking sleep, food, mood and also try to live without tracking anything for periods. I know I can go back to it if I am feeling off.

Helpful Links

This article really helped me understand why I felt so compelled to starve and over exercise, and I think it is really helpful for anyone with AN to see it in a different perspective.
