My name is Jennifer, I am in SC I am a recovering anorexic and my weight is out of control! I need to lose about 40 pounds to feel better about myself. I am still in the normal weight range for my size and body type. But I hate the weight I am at now. I want to lose weight but I am worried I will go back to my old ways. I am bad to restrict to under 300 kcal a day. I have set my goal for 1200 a day. I hope I can stick to the plan. Thanks for reading and I hope everyone had a good new years.

If you are in a normal weight range, then it's likely that a 40-pound loss would put you dangerously underweight. Given that you are recovering from an eating disorder, please consider that your perception of your weight being "out of control" and needing to be underweight to "feel better about yourself" might not be realistic.
Please reach out to the doctors or therapists that are helping you recover from anorexia and let them know that you are having these feelings.5
