After 3 months I finally decided to let the doctor weigh me today. I left treatment and have been managing my weight on my own. I am pleased I've been able to maintain the weight I left with even though I felt like I've gained 30 lbs. I am relieved as I was convinced I had really put weight on. I haven't lost either which is huge progress for me. I still struggle daily with the battle with food, body image etc. but I feel safer to eat now that I know I'm not as big as I thought. I guess I'm still not a good judge of my body size. Yes I'm a little triggered by the scale, but I know I'm healthy and today I'm ok with that. I just need to keep maintaining. Easier said then done, but I've proven I can do it. Alone. :0)
That's awesome news and thanks for sharing it.
This is a very big step and one you need to congratulate yourself on. Yes, recovery is not easy and it's an ongoing, daily choice. But this demonstrates there's been healing in your thinking processes etc.
I'm so glad for you :)
Keep up the awesome work!!
