First Scale since Eating Disorder Recovery Beginning

So, tomorrow I am going to buy the first scale that will have been in my house since February, roughly, and I will find out how much I weigh. Does anyone have any experience with this?

When I looked at my weight before beginning recovery, I was bouncing between 107 and 110lbs. My first weigh-in after beginning, a few months ago at a doctor's visit, put me at 135. Since then, I know I have gained weight, because I was incredibly stressed and working in fast food.

Has anyone else been scared to find out how much they weigh?

    Your weight is nothing to fear, it is simply a measurement. Good luck.

    Why do you need a scale? Why not work on getting healthy habits set first. Do you have a therapist or counselor that you can talk about this with?

    I would like to know how much I weigh, so I get more accuracy from my HRM and similar things. As of now, I've just been guestimating my weight and trying to eat healthy and work out. I do not have a therapist.
