Anorexia recovery and weight gain? -

some help would be greatly appreciated.well its been about a year that i have been in recovery.i was underweight and anorexic with a bmi of 16/17.and then i had to gain weight, which is the worst possible feeling to lose all that control. anyway, since then i have gained a lot of weight and now my bmi is 21. and of course, being an anorexic in recovery, i want to lose weight... but it seems like even if i eat healthy (about 1300 cals a day), no weight comes off. what can i do? (i just want some healthy weight loss for the summer!)thanks

I am also in recovery, though I haven t been there as long as you lol. My theory is that we are so used to losing at least a pound every time we get on the scales (or else seeing it rocket up to gaining six or seven after a binge . ) that losing weight slowly seems othing is happening at all. I have a bmi now of 18.9 and I want to get it down to 18.5, WHICH IS STILL HEALTHY, and doing it properly is so difficult and seems to take ages. Just keep going the way you re going and it ll start to work soon enough. Don t cut back anymore or start fasting again ot you might end up back where you started, and that s pure hell . Good luck!!

you can take your butt back to the doctor and tell them you are not recovered.
