as someone who in her teens battled problems like anorexia and bullimia i ahve strong body image issues!!! i never went so far i was hospitalised or anything i went from a size 12 to a size 6 in a short amount of time and stayed between there and 8 for a long time.... at around 18 - 19 i started to accept that naturally i was not this small and put on a bit of weight it kept going from there because i have bipolar and had issues with comfort eating and ended up around a size 14 (which i understand is still not really that big)....
i dropped to somewhere in between 12 - 14 just before i fell pregnant and now i can see myself growing again... i know it is completely normal to gain wait in pregnancy, and i have a bad junk food comfort thing going on but i notice myself sometimes slipping back into thoughts of if i just eat less i will loose weight and i am really scared about it...
atm i know logically i need to keep my diet steady and healthy and accept weight gain as it comes but theres this switch in my brain that i am scared will be activated if i put on too much more weight and i wont be able to controll myself... as has happened before...
does anyone have any experiences with this or any advice?
