Here's my story: I lost 100 pounds in 3 years and a half. When I hit 150 pounds last year in April I started to develop an eating disorder, I would basically eat lunch only and this made me lose weight very quickly and I got down to 134. I was malnourished, mind you that I also walk at least 10/15 k steps per day. This has been going on til Christmas 2021 when I visited my family for the holidays and I lost it, my body craved food so bad that I binged for 2 weeks straight and ended up gaining 20 pounds. When I went back to my regular routine I lost a bit but kept eating a lot because that hunger wouldn't go away. It was also finals time in college and I was put under a lot of stress. I had another binging session of 2 weeks after that where I gained 12 pounds. It's been 3 weeks since I'm back to my routine and I'm forcing myself to eat healthy meals and hit at least 1200 / 1400 calories per day since I keep walking a lot daily. I am a 25 yo girl and 5'5. My weight has stabilized around 146 and keeps going up despite the calorie deficit and I just don't get it. My goal is to get back to 136 slowly and in a healthy way but I'm afraid my body has adapted to something otherwise I can't explain these frequent plateaus and gains. I suffer from insomnia and chronic stress aswell and I'm constantly bloated. Ever since I started to introduce more food and dinner I'm also constipated despite being active. Has anyone ever experienced such thing? Will I ever start losing again? My is my weight going up? As someone who's been struggling with ED it's difficult to deal with weight gain..
