I was doing great for 3-4 days. Really motivated to decrease exercise and eat more calories. I know the scale would go up and it did, but OMG. Too much too fast. I feel very worried that it will just skyrocket. I keep telling myself that I am still very underweight and that the increase in weight is a very good thing. But I still feel very depressed and I am having a hard time forcing food today. I have done it, but every time I eat I just feel more down. How do I get beyond this? Is this what everyone means by this being the hardest thing that I will ever have to beat? I feel so overwhelmed, almost like I literally can't breathe. Am I falling apart?
You've come SO far and I know you can keeping going, I can't tell you how proud of you I am...there are no words.
Did you say you saw a therapist? Maybe go back if you can.
I do have my second appt with therapist tomorrow... I really can't wait!
i can understand how you feel. i've been on both sides of the coin.
i think it's important to get comfortable at the weight you're at for awhile, and don't weigh yourself too often.
this is going to be a process, and should be taken slowly. keep on the healthy path however, without slipping into old patterns.
gaining too much weight at once for me can and was devastating.
take it easy and don't be hard on yourself. think how healthy you are becoming and how you're body is rejoicing for the nutrients.
i can relate so to your profile. i too am very strong willed, and no one has any idea what really goes on.
you're not alone.
