I have certain habits I am adopting and I am unsure if they are healthy or unhealthy.

I'm in college! (Yay for me!) But I'm kind of uncertain if I'm being "healthy" or not. I've already been kinda chubby (ok, get rid of the kinda), and I'm too afraid to check the scale, but I want to lose weight. Here's some habits that I am unsure of. I used to binge a lot, and now I've kinda slowed that down.

  1. Eating 2 meals a day. Sometimes these meals are mainly protein, sometimes they're mainly carbs, sometimes it's pizza, sometimes it's 2 apples. Today I just ate something that made me feel really full and I'm kind of regretting it. Sometimes I have snacks, but the snacks are mostly fruit (maybe a kind bar). If I have an entire soft drink or coffee, then that's my meal. (The strange thing is that before I went to college I like finished everything in one sitting, now I eat a tiny bag of chips over the course of 6 hours. It's weird. I actually saved a cup of soda for 2 days instead of drinking it all at once.)

  2. Walking briskly to class. This may initially sound ok, but the tops of my feet hurt really bad when I walk too fast. I talked to my doctor about it but she said she'd take it more seriously if I lost some weight. I looked it up online and it could mean that my feet could have tendons break in them or something? I'm kind of afraid, and don't want to talk to my doctor about it because I know she'll just say I need to lose more. Is it normal? I also like taking walks around campus at night (spooky? Unsafe? I hate walking around during the day.) but I'm worried it might make the issue worse.

  3. Going to bed late and getting up late. My earliest class starts at 2pm and my latest class goes till 7pm. I personally love being awake when it's dark, but I am unsure if this is healthy. Should I still do the early to bed and early to rise thing, or do I just make sure I get enough sleep? Recently, I've been going to bed any time between 11 pm and 4 am, and getting up at any time from 9am to 2pm (the 2pm is on days I don't have class, don't worry). And I have been averaging about 10 hours of sleep per night.
