Hi, I'm new here and actually trying to gain weight. I've been on the verge of anorexia and now I'm trying to gain back weight in a healthy way while exercising and eating right. If you have any advice or tips, I'd really appreciate it. My self esteem is really low, so trying to gain weight has made it even lower.

    I've been in your same position. It's not easy. It is scary to think about gaining weight when your life has been consumed by trying to lose weight. But, know that it does get better. It's been 5 years for me since I got to a healthy weight after being too thin and I am just now becoming comfortable with my body and weight. It's a long battle that never really ends. Feel free to contact me anytime.

    I too am in your same struggle right now. It's not an easy battle and I would recommend being in some kind of therapy or treatment. I am currently in treatment for anorexia but it is still a daily battle. Feel free to contact me if you need extra support. Good Luck and your worth is not determined by the number on the scale:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
