Weight Loss: History of obsessive eating control and exercise

---

History of obsessive eating control and exercise Posted: 23 Jun 2021 07:00 PM PDT Hi folks - perhaps you can give me a hand. Im 29F, and I've had two babies in the last three years. I was never thin but am definitely overweight now and BMI does put me in the obese category (but fairly near the bottom of it). I estimate I have a good 50lb to lose but also generally have an unhealthy heart. I clearly have two little kids and I do work, so life is quite busy. During my pregnancy with my second I was quite active with walking but then COVID hit and that went out the window. I also had preeclampsia twice which seems to have resulted in some extremely bad blood long term pressure issues. They are currently under medications and the many tests have not shown any contraindications with exercise. I guess the reason why I make this post is not because I don't understand how to lose weight, but rather because in my past I've historically over obsessed over both food and exercise. I have never had a full blown eating disorder but have trended that way. I don't want to do this in an unhealthy way but I also acknowledge that my current weight (~200, 5'7") and health are stopping me from enjoying life and being a great mother and wife, so it does have to be fixed. I'm not a person who eats a great deal of fast food or junk food - I did eat more in the past year but have already cut that out. How do I stay encouraged and continue things without obsessing? How do I properly make sure my CICO is appropriate if I over obsess when i track? Thank you in advance. submitted by /u/alnono [link] [comments]
