Hey hun. I am about 2 dress sizes up from where I was at my thinnest. At my thinnest I was still 2kgs above my healthy BMI range, so nowhere near underweight. But I looked and felt great at my lowest, and very healthy with some curves still. I like your suggestion of a 200 cal snack, I know I need to eat more in order to…

Also another question. Is it wise that at 17kgs (37lbs) to lose that I should be aiming for just a 1lb loss each week? I have plugged in my stats and MFP has given me 1500 cals to eat- seems reasonable. Gosh I feel so sad that I have to lose this again, it is very soul wrecking. At least on the bright side, I did not gain…

Thank you for the positive words of encouragement, I appreciate it. You are right, I was reading about the fact that after losing large amounts of weight that the body pumps out hormones that makes you want to eat more to return to some sort of homeostasis. I sure wish I was aware of this fact last year. And this is the…

I love your outlook- go girl!

I know, not good, I am glad it didnt take me long to figure it out. I had a very distorted thinking with food. I hope to heal myself and undo the damage.

Thanks hun, slow and steady wins the race :)

That is amazing, I am so happy for you! Keep up the great work!

Woohoo looking good!! Got some nice definition happening there!

I have almost exact same stats as you and want to get to 150lbs. I have the same tummy too- 4 kids within 8 years. Well done on your loss so far! Looks like lifting heavy is the way to go ;)

Thank you sak20011. I agree, a huge part of my dilemma is learning to love myself and feel deserving of good nourishment and just taking good care of my body. Ive always had a poor body image. I think getting some help from a professional will help. I think its going to take a lot of self love to go forward with this and…

I am so confused as to how this works- so sorry for sounding so dumb! So I would be eating the calories I would expect to be eating once I reach my goal weight of 68kgs in maintenance? How is it that i would lose weight and would that number change as I am losing weight? Ahhh so confusing!

Thank you for the suggestion. So just to clarify, plug in to maintain my current weight? That leaves me with 2130cals. Wow, can I really lose weight eating that amount? How much can I expect to lose a week eating at maintenace calories with being slightly active?

Thank you soooo much! I too know the feeling of being hungry and angry. It makes life miserable. It is so reassuring to know that eating more and feeling full can work in the long term. Thanks for sharing what works for you, it gives me hope xx

Hey guys I really appreciate all the wonderful feedback, it really really helps me see a different perspective on all this. In response to why it was so appealing for me? Gosh what a great question. I dont know if I have the answer. I just always stupidly believed that there is a certain amount of suffering and sacrifice…

Thanks for reply and advice Lilly, yes I was seriously considering going to my GP about this, because my thinking and emotions around food are not healthy that's for sure.
