looking for motivation, support, and advice.

hey, all. i'm a 26 year old transman trying to gain weight after 10 years struggling with anorexia. i've been in and out of hospital and treatment programs, gaining weight on ridiculously high meal plans, only to lose it all when i come home and restrict again. i was recently asked to leave a program due to not being ready to move forward (i was inpatient for 4 months, gained 30 pounds).

i'm at the highest weight i've been as an adult (114 pounds), and my mindset is changing towards a less disordered way of looking at my body. i want to get stronger, not weak or sick, and that requires a surplus of energy, building blocks to make muscle, and so on. i've started doing 20 minutes of arm/chest exercises every morning, and i'm finding it easier to eat. i'm hoping i can use this site as a way to track my progress towards health and get some help along the way.
