    I'm happy I saw this post, because just yesterday I decided to seriously ditch the scale, it brings me more mental problems than anything else! What you see in the scale or lack of, could be a fluctuation and there is no explanation for it (bloat, water weight, TOM, etc as others mentioned.) I agree with the gentleman to maybe take measurements and compare them every few weeks.

    Closely monitoring the scale can wreck havoc on our nerves, check this article out, I found it enlightening:

    I know I should get rid of the scale,but I'm having a hard time , still feel I need to weigh myself daily , hopefully in time I can put it away .
    I have taken measurements the other day and will do it again same day next week and see how it goes

    Bloating is very common early in recovery. (I'm not sure how long you've been in recovery, but it can take awhile for the bloating to go away for a lot of people). If your clothes are fitting more tightly but the scale isn't going up, I'd bet it's just normal bloating.

    I'm not sure if you've been on the Goal: Gaining Weight forum, but a lot of people recovering from EDs post there. There are a lot of people who check that forum who are very familiar with ED recovery and could give you some advice based on their own direct experiences.

    Congratulations on making the effort to get better!

    Please be very careful when directing people in recovery to articles like this. Depending on the person, it could be very triggering.
