I need to lose weight but I have had an eating disorder?

[Anonymous]

So yeah, Im slightly overweight right now. I had anorexia about 5 years ago. That passed, I got depressed and had a binge eating disorder. Now Im recovering from depression and I dont binge eat food anymore.

I started dieting but Im afraid I will turn into anorexic again. All the thoughts from that time are coming back. I can't stand to looks at myself from mirror or pictures. I've been told recently by many people of how big I am and Im too big and it is constantly on my mind. I don't know what to do.

I feel like I have to loose weight or I will never be beautiful and find soneone to date. But will I go crazy again?

Why don't you go paleo? It's healthier and you don't have to cut eating. and go for a mile run, half there, half back. Get rid of your mirrors...

But the point is that I will intentionally or unintenionally cut eating at some point because I might get obsessed with the idea and intensify working out. It is not that easy with an eating disorder

Have you tried food therapy? Or if you you have a friend, ask them help prepare healthy foods for you. Maybe have them make your lunch and dinner with them, while you take care of your breakfast?

I could try that. Sounds interesting.

Well, good luck in what you try. Just don't be scared, you're a lot stronger than you think and if you need help, don't be silent about it

Talk too people around you and express your concerns. It's always better having people understand where you're at then too try face things alone.

Just try and make baby steps instead of making giant changes all at once.. Take up swimming with a friend :)
