TW: ED
OK so it's officially time I try and lose weight! Background is I have recovered from anorexia. It was crappy time in my life and I was underweight and sick for years but long story short I've managed to get my life in control and gained weight healthily and recieved psychological treatment. I haven't weighed myself in ages but weighed myself today and was shocked.
I knew my body had changed with recovery. Its also true due to my history that I'm not super comfortable in my own skin, but I have been able to accept my changing body and roll with it. But today I was genuinely horrified at the number on the scale.
I have been out with friends a lot recently and maybe let my eating and drinking habits get a little bit too indulgent. I'm not overweight according to the BMI criteria but I'm really uncomfortable and would ideally like to lose about 10kg (healthily, over a few months).
I am aware that with my history it is a bit of a touchy subject but I don't want to just keep gaining weight and then have it get way out of control. I just feel unhealthy and not comfortable and I think my ED is under control enough for me to lose some weight without it going to my head.
Has anyone been in the situation before? What has worked for you? Any help appreciated!
