Hi everyone!

Caitoriri

Hey all!
The name’s Cait, I’m a New Zealand expat in Japan.
I lost about 39lbs three years ago, but developed an eating disorder along the way. There’s not really a great support system in Japan, especially where I am, so I had to pull myself out of it alone. I made the decision to stop worrying about my weight, calories, portions, anything to do with food that might trigger me.

I gained back about 12lbs between then and now (though I’ve since lost 5 of them after I started on here a month ago). But this time – since I’m now aware I have a tendency towards disordered eating/thinking and a tendency to be very obsessive – I’m making sure to do it very carefully; small deficit, no “forbidden” foods, no obsessive exercise, once-a-week weigh-in only. And absolutely NO STRESSING if the weight doesn’t come off like I want it to.

Anyway, it’s nice to meet everyone. I’m looking for supportive friends or people in similar situations, so if you want to add me please go ahead!
