I'm 22F, I'm 5'8" and 80 kgs (176 lbs) I'm trying to lose at least 10 kgs (22 lbs). For context, throughout school and college, I had debilitating run ins with eating disorders. the happiest I ever was was when I was in college, stick thin, 132 lbs and my hair was falling out. it took me a lot to get to a healthy weight which I had gotten to and was maintaining at.
I went through a really bad depressive slump post a sexual assault. I turned to food for comfort, I stopped going out, I was in bed, getting high and eating god awful. around this time, I also got a back injury, the meds given are notorious for weight gain. all of this combined is how I got to the weight I am right now.
I'm doing everything in my power to lose weight healthily. but here's the thing, to my ED brain, now that I medically am required to lose the weight - it's trying to justify a lot of ed habits. Today I found myself thinking about having toothpaste when I crave sugar and almost spiralled. I have done too much to get to where I can eat you know?
I wanna lose the weight healthily, but now that I am required to lose it - how do I continue having a good relationship with food?
any advice is appreciated, genuinely.
