How Do You Cope With Gaining Weight In Anorexia Recovery?
First, congrats with the recovery so far. However, you are still very underweight. When you are malnourished your brain doesn’t function correctly. When you reach a healthy weight your brain will begin to repair (it shrinks in mass and density from anorexia). However, it takes longer for your brain to catch up with your body. Try to be patient — your thinking will become more rational and clear with time. In the meantime, throw away your clothes that don’t fit. It gives you a good reason to buy new things. Don’t get too much though, as you still have a ways to go to get physically healthy. You have to fight the anorexia lies every day with the truth. The truth is you are not fat– you are still underweight. Keep striving towards full recovery! You can do it!
