title explains, I am unsure if I have an eating disorder or not.
The debate has come up with my husband several times a day for a while now.
Will explain briefly -
I needed to lose "baby weight". I'd actually put on over a stone since having him by the time he was 2 months.
I went to Slimming World to lose the weight and get to pre pregnancy size.
I got into healthy eating, counting syns through calorie counting.
Woman were losing 7 - 8 lb a time and I was just losing half a lb at a time.
Feeling defeated, I cut out all syns completely and stuck to only fruit and veg (salads mostly, adding some chicken) once a day. Sometimes skipping eating a few days a week too. It very quickly became a habit that I can NOT break. That's just what I do now.
I got to my target within 2 months since starting (down only 2 and & a half stone)
I haven't been back on the scales since.
I've carried on eating the way I did as it is habit. But a healthy habit. I dont even look at cake or chocolate or crisps.. what's the point? I'm happy eating what I eat.
My husband thinks I have an eating disorder. I won't go back on the scales - i have no need to. I dont feel a need or a want to look at numbers appear on the scale to be judged.
My clothes are baggy but i do not feel like I am losing weight at all. I still don't like the size I am but I'm not bothered hmm
I feel like its extreme to say I have an eating disorder because there are plenty people who seriously do have one and its a terrible thing to suffer from.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
