I've come to accept that I had a little bit of an obsession with losing weight when I was 18. In 5 months, I lost 10 kg (22 lbs). It may not seem like a lot, but I started from 53 kg (~117 lbs). So, at my lowest, I weighed 43 kg (~95 lbs) with a height of 165 cm (5'5).
I was a first-year university student and living in the dorms gave me a lot of freedom. My parents and my older sister weren't there to nag me for eating too little.
At first, I did not realize how bad my eating habits were. I just didn't get hungry very often. Also, because of my lectures, I sometimes skipped breakfast or lunch, and never ate dinner. I was spending quite a lot of time studying or with my hobbies, so it was not difficult at all.
However, I realised, after a month, that my body looked "right" slimmer, and I started to skip meals on purpose. I don't want to get into the details, but I periodically have depersonalization episodes, so I suppose I wasn't quite mentally well either.
Nevertheless, I was not unwell enough to ignore my lack of menstruation so I started maintaining my weight. It came back, at some point. I was still very strict, but I was careful not to lose any more weight.
Everything went well until my third year of university. The reason being covid. I returned home and started online classes.
With my parents around I gradually lost my self-control and gained a lot of weight during this period. Now, I'm back at 53 kg. I still can't move out of my house, since I don't want to neglect school, but I have to regain self-control.
And I have to find a better method for weight loss. But as I stated earlier, I don't have much free time.
For now, I'd like to lose 5 kg until Christmas. Is it achievable? Is it healthy? If so, what is the healthy and efficient method to achieve it?
Sorry for my awkward English, unfortunately, it's my third language.
