Like I and many others have advised in the past, a good therapist and a dietitian that you meet with REGULARLY are going to be the BEST resources. I would highly suggest getting these in place soon - like, start working on it now.
There are also websites, helplines, and chats to that you can access. A good place to start is the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) and here’s the link to their site https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/help-support/contact-helpline. They’ve also got a list of other resources.
I am SUPER hesitant to give any diet/nutrition recommendations to you based on your history in this forum. Eating disorders are complex and need one-on-one, consistent consultation. I would encourage you to address these behaviors and patterns NOW because they will not “just go away” when you’re less stressed, in a new setting, at home, or as you get older. Without addressing the root cause(s), this is something you will struggle with all of your life. I do not mean to come across as harsh, but I am speaking from personal experience - this is not an easy road. Change your path now - your future self will thank you.
Thanks!

Diet discipline has actually been really good. Will still be up a kilo or two bc of salt. The “whole foods don’t have as much sodium as processed food” argument doesn’t apply when the local cuisine calls for putting in salt by the tablespoon and finishing dishes with pickled peppers. The “go carnivore” thing didn’t really work though. The fruit here is too good

@BrickHead I don’t want to derail another thread but I listened to an econ podcast where they were disucssing the gender gap. They mentioned how women are disproportionate for elder care. Why? I get why women would be disproportionately responsible for child care, but why are daughters/ daughter in laws, disproportionately responsible for parents or even organising extended family?
In my case, I was given a LOT more than my little bro, but I know in many other Chinese families/ Chinese american families where the parents are first generation immigrants, the son is treated as the favourite but his sister/wife still bears most of the responsibility for caring for the parents (on both sides of their respective families)
Did they mention specific evidence of this? I think you might know I work in a skilled-nursing facility (a nicer term for nursing home).
I don’t know of a specific reason for this. I don’t think there is some American cultural norm for this. I think women are naturally inclined to care to do such work and many inevitably take it on by their own volition. And perhaps because of that, some men get lazy with it. They might think, “Oh, my wife took care of all that already. No need for me to.” However, I have seen and know plenty of men who bend over backwards for aging and sick family members.
The same goes for organizing. Women are more social than men and they are like family PR people and event planners, and my wife and my mother-in-law are great examples of this. When there are family, holiday, and birthday events, all of the initial planning is done by them: drumming up the list of invitations and following through on it, decorations, birthday-party themes for the children, a list of dishes to be made or where some should be ordered from, and so on. Of course the men in the family help with the heavy lifting, cleaning, and preparation, but the initial social contacts are made by them. It’s simply something they enjoy doing or are just inclined to do. I personally take interest in the invitations–who’s coming and who’s not–and look forward to such events, but I don’t get the same buzz from socializing that they or most women do.
There are some men, myself included, who do complain that women are always planning an event or presenting attending someone else’s as an obligation. Attending back-to-back weekend events, which I have done, is mentally exhausting for many men. I’m not kidding: I can do hours of yard work, cleaning, and food shopping and preparation and feel fine, whereas I will feel mentally and physically shot after an hours-long loud wedding or family gathering.
Would you mind sharing the podcast episode? You don’t have to if you don’t want to.
Ahh okay
Here’s the link to the podcast episode
Thank you. I will listen to this. They discussed an end to a global pay gap? 
I’m assuming this will be achieved with a world government.
It’s the report title. The podcast focuses on what China has/can do
I don’t agree with everything, but I feel like getting rid of some traditional notions would help
OK, got it. I’ll likely listen tomorrow in my car.

I have a non fitness related question that’s kind of research related. I’d like the opinions of some relatively successful, slightly older Americans
Suppose I’m inviting a group of friends over for dinner. These friends have been of great help/support to me. I have a $500 budget but the dinner ends up only costing $300. Is it acceptable for me to reimburse friends’ transportation (max $100) and why?
