TW: Eating disorder
Hi! I hope this isn't against the sub rules, but basically, I'm trying to lose weight again after years of doing everything I can to not think about my weight.
I'm female, 22 years old, 5'4. I currently weigh 60kg after gaining about 4kg because of lockdown and a sedentary job.
A few months ago, I noticed I was lethargic all the time so I tried to work less and sleep more, thinking that would fix it.
It did not. I hopped on a scale and saw I was at 62kg.
It was really triggering.
I stopped eating bread and rice and cut out as many carbs and sugar as I easily could out of my diet. I also started doing pilates.
I got my weight down to 60kg and started calorie counting again. I've been eating 1,000 cals a day for the past two weeks and walking/jogging 5.5km 3x a week but I haven't lost any weight.
It's starting to mess with my head. I'm worried all my disordered eating habits (guess who used to cry on the kitchen floor while eating a handful of carrots?) have ruined my body. But I'm more worried that if I don't see results from doing things the healthy way, I'll lapse back into old habits.
All I've had today is a cup of coffee and a dessert plate of boiled and salted cabbage that I had to force myself to eat.
Is it just my disordered brain talking or is this weight loss pace normal? And how can I get faster results? I know it's impossible to lose weight super fast without doing something dangerous, but I need to know the fastest, safe way to do it before I end up just not eating.
Please don't say fasting because the temptation to never eat again is there.
