Gained the weight back, but now im terrified of triggering it all over again... Now what?

Hello,
I gave myself orthorexia ad managed to gain weight back by myself over a few years. Now I'm overweight and I am lost! I still get triggered by trying to make sure I eat the "right" thing and the thought of tracking my food/calories or weighing and measuring my food gives me anxiety. When I had the eating disorder I looked good, but my mind was really unhealthy. Now I am overweight and my mental health has become so much better that its almost hard to believe that I was ever in that situation in the first pace. But now I get the judgement from people for being fat and they assume I am lazy, unhealthy, and all I do is eat cake or something. When I was skinny, I was treated with so much more kindness and respect, but I was mentally unstable. I need to lose weight. How do I navigate this tricky world of recovery without setting myself down that path again?

Hello. First off, thank you so much for sharing your struggles, that's a really hard thing to do.
To make sure you don't obsess and go over the same path again, I would suggest you ask your doctor to seek a dietitian to help you reach your goal weight in a healthy manner.
