hi! I am Christine, but I actually go by my "scene" name, Alyssa Autopsy. please call me Alyssa, AA, or Aly (but not Lyss or Lyssa).
i am 22 years old, and from a very young age I considered myself a huge whale, even though in reality i was at a normal weight.
i am considered EDNOS, but I am also considered "recovered" as i have not intentionally self-starved or purged in over 2 years.
i also used to cut and shoplift, but I stopped that as well. i've made many bad decisions, including prostitution, but my wonderful
boyfriend helped get me out of that, and stop the drugs i was abusing (cold medication, take enough and you feel like you're on heroin)
at that time. i still smoke weed, but i smoke it for back pain management. i also no longer get "the munchies", which is unfortunate
because due to my disordered eating habits i no longer feel "hunger". my stomach could just grumble forever but my brain never says "i'm hungry".
i do, however, eat, partly because why yes, it tastes good! but also because you have to eat to lose weight HEALTHILY.
anyway, i am trying to eat between 1100-1300 calories a day, and so far it's been working. i do need help with my exercise goals though.
i started gaining weight when i stopped self-starving, and it continues from pregnancy, comfort eating due to loss of said pregnancy,
my psych medications, and birth control. i went from 5'1" and 105 lbs to a whopping 205 pounds, in about the space of 18 months.
anyway, that was a long and pretty personal introduction, but i think i covered the important stuff. i will be keeping a food journal on here as well,
and i hope i can make some friends who are just as concerned with not only weightloss, but health, as i am. so here i am, welcome me!
