So I wasn't really certain where I wanted to begin here, so I thought I would use the questionnaire from the sticky above, so here goes:
1. What is your current height and weight?
I am 169 cm and 92 kg (5'6.5" and 204lbs)
2. If you were at an ideal weight now, what would that weight be?
I don't know for *sure* but around 50 kg would be lovely
3. At what weight would you like to be at four months from now?
75 kg would rock
4. Why do you want to lose weight?
Because I am too heavy. Improved health, cuter clothes.
5. Do you want to lose weight for a specific life event such as wedding or reunion? If so, when is that event?
nope
6. What obstacles could get between you and your weight loss goals?
I have an eating disorder and that might
7. Why do you think that you now have a weight problem?
I started gaining weight in my late teens after a traumatic incident and then developed an eating disorder that has systematically destroyed my metabolism. Also I make poor choices.
8. What lifestyle changes do you think would help you lose weight?
I am not sure.
9. Have you lost weight in the past? If so, what has worked in the past to help you lose weight?
A very low calorie diet helped me to lose 40 kg once.
10. Why do you believe that you did not lose weight or you gained the weight back?
Eating disorder, once again.
11. What, if anything, has not worked for you in the past in helping you to lose weight? Why do you think it did not work?
Purging, because it doesn't work for weight loss, period.
12. Would you try writing down all food and drink consumed for a given period of time?
Do that already. Love the idea.

19. Do you eat when you are not hungry?
