Gaining weight is hard and scary and uncomfortable and so many more emotions BUT(!) it won't always feel that way. I have been at a healthy weight for almost a full year now and it's the longest I have EVER gone at a healthy weight. And even though I do still have body image issues sometimes, it is sooooo much better than it used to be. I even... dare I say... like the my body sometimes. Everyday I am at a healthy weight is another day I become a little more comfortable. You just need to fight with everything you've got, cry, scream, whatever you need to do to cope (it's okay to feel all of those emotions) and allow your body to gain the weight. And then hold on because it will get better. Promise! I NEVER thought I could feel love for myself and my body at a healthy weight. I never believed people when they told me that I would... but I DO! And it's such a freeing feeling to not have ana telling me otherwise. You are doing great!!!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980101542608631267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1415343028540596846.post-77979701110542551182011-12-08T21:31:48.319+00:002011-12-08T21:31:48.319+00:00I know what you mean about how you can't descr...I know what you mean about how you can't describe how recovery feels. When I have a good day in recovery, ED wants me to feel like I'm not "special" anymore. Like you said, I've worked so hard for so long on my ED that it kind of feels like undoing hard work. Even though it's a good thing, it feels like loss. I do a lot of the "yeah, but"s too.
