Can’t shake the “I’m fat” from my head

36 F. SW: 113.5 Kg. CW: 80.5 kg. Goal: 70 kg. 1.67 m. Hi all, I’m recovering from an eating disorder (binge eating, compulsive eating, grazing, food addiction…). I’ve been yo-yo dieting since I was 15, and most of my “diets” were fad, crash and extremely restrictive. I also have pcos, insulin resistance and lots of vitamin deficiencies.

I’ve been working with a wonderful nutritionist for the past two years and using calorie counting and exercise I managed to release some 33 kg. I started with my highest weight and currently at my lowest. I look thinner and healthier and everybody has noticed my significant weight loss and can’t believe I did it without surgery. I didn’t buy new clothes due to economic reasons but I got my old clothes tailored and re-tailored to my current smaller size.

The problem is: I still can’t shake the “fat girl” image from my head. When I look at the mirror all I see is faults and I don’t like my pictures. I still see the “fat”, act “fat” and joke about the size of my thighs. Im always waiting for the day where I’ll break my streak and go back to binge eating and up on the scales. I go to a therapist and have myriad of support groups but has any of you gone through this? What did you do? Thank you so much! PS: please don not slide into my DMs :)
