Background: I'm almost certainly autistic and have depression/anxiety, which has become less and less well managed (have recently changed ADs to see if it helps, though I'm not hopeful). We've had a quite stressful time as a family the last few months.
At the beginning of the year my youngest was messing around with the bathroom scales and asked me to weigh myself. I discovered I was the heaviest I'd been since having my oldest and at the very high end of healthy.
I started to become a bit more aware of what I was eating and how much I was moving vs. sitting and lost weight in a relatively healthy way at a pretty slow rate for a few months.
At some point - I'm not sure when - the weight loss started to accelerate a bit and I liked it and started skipping meals to watch it continue.
I started weighing myself more often and told myself it was to make sure I didn't overdo it...
I'm 5' 5 and my scales are pretty inaccurate but I think I'm a couple of pounds under eight stone now.
But I want to keep losing weight.
I have a GP appointment on Tuesday to review my ADs and I know I should bring this up but I don't know if I can.
I also feel like focusing on this and having this one element of control is the only thing stopping my depression from completely consuming me.
