could I reach my weightloss goal??? Opinions???

rmarie98

So I've just started dieting (I'm recovering from bulimia/binge eating so I gained quite a bit of weight). I'm 5'7, weight 139lbs and my goal weight is about 112lbs. now I know it seems pretty low right?? Its really strange actually - I've been seeing pics of people my height/weight and look 2x skinnier than me!! I'm 139lbs but I look like a chubby 139 if that makes sense?? hahah

(also I have the trademark bulimic bloating stomach so that doesn't help too much either haha)

So I want to lose about 25lbs... however, depending on what my body looks like and how much fat I lose is really going to be the deciding factor

could I do it by July 1st?? I'm eating 6 small meals a day (2 eggs in the morning, small protein drink in between, small salad for lunch, etc.) and I actually love it and am never hungry... but of course, I'm always curious if I'm not eating enough? (trying to stay below 1,2000cal)

for exercise, I either jog, zumba, or run on the elliptical for an hour or two

thanks for any input you may have!!! (also, I'd love any tips...)

My opinion is that if you are recovering from an eating disorder, you should probably discuss this with your doctor, nutritionist, and/or therapist.

I'm a recovered/ing EDNOS, so I can relate to still wanting weight loss after recovery, but to me that goal weight sounds unhealthy. Please discuss with the professionals as soon as you can! They will be more helpful (and correct) than anything any of us have to say.

Best of luck to you in your recovery! I know how hard it is. Hang in there. (((hugs)))
