in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
hi, I have anorexia nervosa but I've had it under control for awhile now. I have recently started eating the normal of 3 meals a day. I don't snack Inbetween unless it's fruit or a muller light or cup of tea. Yet I've put on nearly a stone in the last few months. Is it because I'm at last eating regularly? As before I was just eating a meal a day, or sometimes just cereal. Plus for the last year I've been regularly doing 30 mins of strength or cardio workouts each day, does that have anything to do with my weight gain? I still fit a size 8 and look slim. But the scales I went on yesterday have made me feel so *kitten* and I don't wanna eat as I feel fat because I now know my weight.

    I would suggest talking about this with your dr/treatment team….

    Your weight gain will be through muscle gain, not fat Hun. Do NOT worry, you are all good. Muscle weighs more than fat, so logically, it is going to show on the scales. Educate yourself on information like that and how your body truly works and you will learn to retrain your thought pattern. Good look on your journey
