So, I am trying to figure out what is a HEALTHY weight for me to be..

I had anorexia at a few times in my life and I DO NOT WANT to try to reach an unhealthy goal weight. I am being super careful about this as I have a hubby and a son now and cannot be selfish in my act of dieting to extremes..

There are just too many out there on the Internet, and I do not go see my doctor for a few more weeks. Is there a equation my dr would use?

I am 5'5 and would consider myself a medium build..
