ED recovers I need questions answered....

Therapy is different for each individual person from each method of therapist. All you can do is keep an open mind. It is also fair to say that "healthy weight" may be completely subjectively different than what you doctor believes. ED can really mess with a person's standards and self-image. You may be encouraged to still add weight. Hopefully your therapist and you click. It won't always be easy but they are trying to guide you to be the healthiest you mentally and physically. Understand the both of you may address some things you would never share. ED have been strongly linked to sexual abuse and other out-of-your-control history. Recovery is up to you. The more open you are the easier it may be to address any underline issues. Don't lie and take your time to understand yourself. Estimated time is undetermined.

I hope you are able to find the help you are looking for.

I can tell you from many years of experience.......I did traditional "therapy" in my late teens and early 20's. Got to a place where I was not "active" with an ED but none of the thoughts went away and most of the reasons for it were never resolved in spite of literally years of therapy (lots of psychologists and psychiatrists and hospital stays that all were ED "experts"). The one thing that removed all of that garbage just happened this past few months. We use homeopathy for our healthcare and my homeopath literally walked me through the things that caused my ED in the first place, treated me homeopathically, and I was done. We accomplished more in 60 days then I did in 5-6yrs of specialized eating disorder therapy. It was worth every penny (CHEAP comparatively) and I am finally free. My h-path is worth gold and I will be forever indebted to her for helping me get rid of the thought patterns and issues that caused it in the first place. I'm 46 now. A waste of 20yrs fighting the thoughts! If only I'd known back then what I do now about healing the body, soul and spirit.

By any chance do you know if therapy does weekends?

Every therapist will have different office hours. Some may work on weekends and others may not. You would have to call each one in your area and see who is available for weekend appointments.

That's a question for your doctor. We aren't qualified to answer that.
I would start by making an appt right away

Therapy for the win! Congrats on getting back to a healthy weight - That's such a huge achievement. Please see a counselor/therapist - if you don't like the first one try another - and keep trying until you find someone you like. (Sometimes we just don't hit it off with the first person we see - that's ok - don't give up.)
Are you workouts all cardio based? Have you considered weight lifting? I would verify with your MD/Therapist but it may be something you'd enjoy. Do you set non-scale related goals for yourself? Perhaps if I eat XXX calories today I can buy that new shirt, or something of the likeness.
