How to keep going after unintentional weight loss

Hi,

29F, 5’4 currently 195lbs.

Since September I’ve been dealing with health issues and recently got an official diagnosis of severe ulcerative colitis. In the time since September, I’ve lost 35lbs which is great but it’s really because I couldn’t eat anything without feeling ill or pain.

Last week I was hospitalized and started a new treatment plan. I have been feeling much better, but now I’m able to eat more and I’m scared to gain it all again. I am also on steroids for a few months which increases appetite apparently.

I want to lose more weight, at least 50 more pounds but I don’t know if I can do it on my own. I find myself panicking about eating again cause I’m scared I’ll gain weight.

Any insight would be appreciated, it all feels heavy. I know CICO and counting calories is the way to go but I’ve never been successful at it in the past :(
