Fat?! Maybe, maybe not
I though I posted this question but now I can't find it so sorry if this is a repeat. For those of you that are recoverd is your current weight a weight that you considered "fat" when in you ED zone or are you still what others would call skinny? I have gained weight and I'm 32 days in recovery and I feel like a whale. Is that normal and maybe I'm really not??????? I have gained without a doubt though, my jeans reiterate that daily.

Re: Fat?! Maybe, maybe not
I am 'recovering' and although I am still classed as underweight by doctors/friends/family, I can't get passed feeling that I am fat. To get to my 'ideal' weight I will have to gain quite a bit more, so I can't imagine how I will feel about myself at that point. Sadly my mind set isn't always co-oporative with my bodies needs, but I would rather be alive and 10 pounds heavier, than dead and 10 pounds lighter. |

Re: Fat?! Maybe, maybe not
Hi, i am in recovery and am nearly at my target weight, which would then take me into a healthy BMI figure. Some days i look at myself and think "oh what i would give to be 'thin' again". I then have to STOP.....and....think.....to remember all the heartache and misery i went when i was in hospital and at my lowest weight. The realisation, that being like that did not bring me happiness and did not make all of my troubles go away, i still have to face them whatever size i am! You need to try and look beyond the mirror (i know how hard it is). The size of your clothes and your weight does not determine what type of person you are. Take Care Steph X |

Re: Fat?! Maybe, maybe not
I would love to feel that away about myself! I have a friend that is around 350 lbs. and she is the happiest, live life to the fullest person I know. When I was my thinnest I wasn't 1/2 as happy as she at least appears to be. That should tell me right there that weight isn't my happy pill. Not there yet but getting closer. |
