Norse Body Type (Pics) To Be More Slender

chloecola

Hi guys I'm looking to minimally lose 25 lbs. I'm 5'5" and 183.3 currently.
I function/look best on a high protein, low fat (mostly all omega 3's), and med carb from veggies and fruits diet...
BUT I need advice to cut my caloric deficit in a way that does not shock my body.
I've just recently (in the past 2 months) almost all the way quit purging after being bulimic for 13 years. I just want to learn how have a healthy relationship with food and my body and look great.

This is coming from a girl that absolutely hates running.
I hike a lot, just got recently back into swimming (as of this week)... I'm also looking into pick-up soccer games, pole dancing lessons, and roller skating.

Do you have a treatment team for your eating disorder? They would be best placed to give you advice on how to improve your relationship with food and if a calorie counting website is in fact a good place to be. Most treatment programs try to steer you away from weight loss in the short term and more towards eating regular healthy meals and establishing a routine.

If you haven't got a treatment team or haven't sought any sort of therapy, please do consider it before attempting weight loss on your own, it can lead to triggering your previous disorder or send you on a path to another disordered way of eating.

Your list of activities sounds like lots of fun, which is absolutely more sustainable then exercise people find boring. No need to run! I haven't run since I got out of the military and no one could force me to run anymore

With only 25 pounds to lose, set your weekly weight loss goal to no more than a pound a week. Consider dropping it to a half pound if that feels unsustainable.

So soon after starting to balance from a long time eating disorder it would be a mistake to try and change the current equilibrium.

It would make zero sense to me to apply a deficit at this time especially if weight reduction is not an absolute medical necessity (which the pictures would most certainly not support it to be)

Controlling the 13 years of ED is magnitudes of orders more important than non medically necessary weight loss, I would think, so the correct deficit for now is probably zero. Nada. Zip. Wrong thing for the op to be dealing with.

Ed's are often exacerbated or triggered when any deficit is applied.

*Obviously if treatment team or doctor have different advice then random internet person's musings are irrelevant
