Anorexia after birth
So I gave birth to my baby last July, I weighed 183 pounds and it was a lot for me I’m not a heavy person I’ve been thin all my life. Plus I have crohns, which also limits my food intake. Since then I’ve lost 50 pounds with weight lifting and intermittent fasting. Well my husband and I have been trying for baby #2 (just waiting till Tuesday to test). But I’m so scared to gain weight, my husband thinks I’m anorexic since I’m still fasting and constantly working out. Anyone else developed anorexia or an eating disorder after birth? What did you do?
Thank you all for your responses, I want to stay anonymous since I’m ashamed. But honestly I only eat once a day, I fast from 3pm until 1pm the next day. If I know I will be eating pizza or any junk food I won’t eat the whole day because I know it will surpass my recommended caloric intake. I’m scared to gain weight because it was so tough to lose the weight I gained.
I’ve never hated food, I always ate whenever I was hunger now it’s a struggle.
