I went to the doctor Wednesday. My weight came up as 106.8.
I had to go again today. The weight came up as 108.2. The doctor said I gained 2lbs.
What caused that? Was it fat? Clothing?
Was the gain bad?

    Sodium, different clothes, different shoes, you haven't pooped lately, different time of day?

    And no, you didn't gain 2 lbs of fat in 2 days. Unless you somehow managed to eat 7000 calories above your maintenance in those two days

    108?!?

    Is that a typo? Unless you are incredibly short, that is borderline underweight if not underweight.

    Yes, 108. I'm 5'4.
    He said I'm borderline underweight. He strongly suspects I have an eating disorder (specifically EDNOS) and depression. He prescribed me an antidepressant and referred me to a therapist.

    I suggest then that you speak to your doctor regarding your concerns and I wish you the best on your recovery
