Hi guys! I'm a 30F, 66.7 kg/147 lbs and mother of 1 baby boy.
I had an eating disorder (bulimia/binge eating/over exercising) for... pff honestly my whole adult life until I got pregnant.
I've been bulimia-free for a couple years now (10 months pregnancy + 1 year of having my boy) and my goodness I'm so grateful. So many of my dumb obsession have fallen away. I've been afraid to even think about losing weight as I was scared that it would trigger eating disorder thoughts but to tell you the truth, I'm really unhappy with the way I look. I'm 7kg over my pre-pregnancy weight and don't feel recognisable. My face looks so different, and my body too.

I want to do this for myself. I think I deserve it, but I want to do it properly so that the obsession doesn't come back.

Anyone else is the same boat? My goal is to lose 7kg as slowly as possible, though i'd love to kickstart everything by getting down to 64kg which is where I start to recognise myself and fit into all my lovely clothes again.

Hope everyone is well

Best wishes

Katharine
