Struggling with Body Image and Anxiety

I keep getting more and more self-conscious. I recently lost a few pounds and I don't know why. I don't think I ate any less then I had been prior. I am afraid to gain it back now because I feel like I look chubby. I'm 5'5 and 113, but I am normally 118. I feel good knowing that I lost some weight, but I know I shouldn't be. Any tips on how not to be anxious about my weight going back? I used to have an eating disorder from age 12-18, so I am afraid of falling back into old habits.

Don't worry about the number on the scale. Worry about how you feel. That's what I have to make myself do. It might help to hide your scale for a while. Something that really helps me is journaling and reflecting on things that don't have to do with my body.
