how do i accept recovery/weight gain?
Post Body

I've been trying to take steps toward recovery with the help of my nutritionist, parents, and therapist, but I feel like I'm going to begin restricting again. I went to the doctor's a few days ago and she still wants me to continue gaining weight even though I'm at a "healthy" BMI. My nutritionist is telling me that I need to speed up my weight gain per week so she upped my meal plan and now I feel anxious abt the idea of gaining fat... I REALLY need to find a way to convince myself that weight gain is okay, because I really do want to get better.

Hi!! I’m sorry this is so hard right now. I’ve been there friend. The best advice I have is to notice the good things about recovery and try to meditate on those when things get hard; for me it was not lying to everyone I love, healthier hair/skin/nails, and actually having the energy to get through the day without being a huge asshole. I know it’s scary, but I promise you can do it. Keep focusing on your reasons for recovery, remind yourself it’s the eating disorder who wants you to get worse and not your healthy brain, and that you are supported and cared for!!!
