This is my first post here, so please go easy on me. I know I'm not perfect.

What I've done that helped (in order of importance):
- Found a therapist who specialized in eating disorders (most important thing for me)
- Got on the right medication for my mental health
- I cut out fast food and sodas completely
- Exercised in small, tiny, baby doses
- Implemented short sessions of yoga
- Stopped eating late at night
- Intermittent fasting 16:8
- Eliminated coffee slowly (it made me want to eat sweet things with it)
- Eliminated sugar slowly (sugar was causing flare ups in knee pain)
What I'm planning to keep doing:
- Exercising (weight lift at home, possibly look into light jogging? aaaah)
- Logging food (I've been logging for 3 days now, successfully)
- Weigh myself less (I have a terrible habit of weighing myself daily)
NSV'S of 2019:
- Went down a size
- Did a 2 day backpacking trip
- Went on many, many hikes in beautiful places
- Lowered my blood pressure (138/90 > 123/86 as of 1 week ago)
- Lowered my A1C levels
Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please let me know if you have any thoughts of advice. Happy 2020 everyone!
