Re: Tw: Eating disorder/food issues -- VERY TL;DR

[(Anonymous)]

In the past my weight has fluctuated up and down about 50 pounds, usually settling somewhere in the middle (which is just on the cusp between normal and overweight in my BMI chart. Obviously, my own body image and weight gain/loss narrative is different to yours. But I wanted to comment because I used to - and this was especially at my highest weight - feel completely out of control and helpless and above all deeply depressed about my situation. Because my weight had fluctuated in the past, I felt that even if I lost some weight by restricting (which I had successfully done previously), or exercising excessively, eventually I would have to stop and go back to my 'normal' eating and exercise habits and the cycle would begin again. So, you know, there seemed to be no options besides restricting unhealthily or having my weight spiral upwards and out of my control.

What changed all this was my decision to start exercising regularly, not excessively (basically trying to get my 1/2 hour in a day), and eating healthily and counting calories healthily (I used My Fitness Pal, and even though I was still trying to lose weight I never went below 1,200 and was usually more like 1,500).

And even though my weight loss has been slower in the past, it has also been steady - but most of all doing this healthily and forming healthy habits has given me confidence and reassurance and control over my life and by body - because now I know that even if I fall off the bandwagon for a bit, when I go back to my 'normal' habits everything will sort itself out because now my 'normal' habits are healthy habits that are going to lead my body to eventually settle down at a healthy, sustainable weight.

Sorry for all the TL;DR, but I wanted to say all of this because changing my lifestyle like this has given me a new lease on life. I know this might fall on deaf ears, but on the off chance it doesn't, I hope you start feeling better about yourself, OP.
