Finally Ready!

Hi folks! All my life, I’ve been overweight. Growing up, my mom was very body shaming/anorexic/generally toxic. I started weight watchers at 13. I wasn’t obese, but my moms projections were terrible. Fast forward a bit, I’m diagnosed with autism, and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (makes it monumentally harder time lose weight). I’ve always been a picky eater (I never learned good eating habits as my parents have ADHD and lack consistency) but got a lot worse as I’ve gotten older. I’m 5’6”, and the lowest weight I remember was 170/184 in high school. When I graduated, I was 214. This March, when I went to see my doctor, I weighed 218 and now I’m finally down to 200-202 (fluctuating). I’m taking aerial yoga and being mindful about my eating now which has helped a lot! I eat hard boiled eggs, toaster strudel, bananas, apple sauce (I have stomach problems due to ptsd), lunchables (I know they’re not the best but...autism/food aversion), tostadas, pretty much anything that has /some/ health in it. It’s a big improvement on how I used to be even if it doesn’t seem the best, I promise. I guess my question is, how do I (an autistic person who takes classes through college) continue to lose weight and then maintain it? I’m new to everything, and I’ve lost 16-18 pounds, but I don’t want to lose sight or fail with consistency. I’m so close to losing and maintaining for the first time in in my life, I don’t want to betray myself. I’m sorry this is so long winded. Thank you everybody, in advance!!
