Hey guys,
I'm very proud to have lost 40lbs over the past 8 months and I have made it to my ultimate goal weight of 130. Just in time for my Hawaii vacation in a few weeks.
But my problem is I'm struggling to truly maintain. Whether it's for the thrill of losing or deep down I really do want to lose another 5lbs, I don't really know. I'm having thoughts that I can tell are the beginnings of an eating disorder and I'm not sure how to stop them.
-
I've calculated my TDEE to be 1600 (probably 1700 given I exercise twice a week) but I put my calorie goal at 1550 because 1600 seemed like too much.
-
I'm overestimating my food. A plate of food will get logged as 450-500 "just in case", when in reality it should probably be 350-400.
-
I moved the scale away from where it was but I am still bringing it back and weighing myself every morning.
-
I look at my body and while I am well within the normal BMI for my height (5'3"), I still think I have too much fat. When I bend over, all the fat from my belly hangs down and I think it looks awful. I'm still constantly critical of my body even though others have commented on how good I look since I lost the weight.
Has anyone else struggled with this? How can I maintain my weight and have a healthier relationship with food and myself?
TL;DR having thoughts that are indicative of an eating disorder after losing a lot of weight. How can I get rid of them and truly maintain my current weight.
