โI just stopped wearing it (fitbit versa 2) three days ago. I've had an eating disorder for a long, long time (since age 10, am 24 now). I'm in a more "orthorexic" place where I eat enough and I don't purge my calories, but I track quality and quantity obsessively. At first the tracker was my best friend, helping me achieve my obsessive ends. But recently it started to feel like a shackle, holding me captive to a disorder that has dictated well over half my life. I didn't think I'd be able to stop wearing it; I didn't think I could handle it mentally.โ
โI grew to fully embrace a lot of the Charge HR's features, but my 30 days didn't start out with worrying about heart rate zones and workouts. I wasn't in a place where I was even doing regular exercise, so the month simply began with tracking walks with my dog, which I have to go on 3-4 times a day no matter what. The Charge HR served as a catalyst for this renewed focus on health - and subsequently, happiness - in my life. It forced me to face my bad habits - sitting for hours on end, not exercising regularly, not eating as well as I could be - and motivated me to change them.โ
