Despite really wanting to be slim and healthy.

Solution: I am going to face the fears that are holding me back despite feeling I am too fat to be allowed to them.

There is another approach.

You can tell yourself that even if you are slim and healthy, you don't have to pursue all those other things (travelling; moving out of home; pursuing a career); or alternatively you could pursue them at your pace, whatever pace feels comfortable to you. You can decide how quickly you want to proceed, with any of your goals or aspirations. It's all up to you.
