Hey, recovering from ED and feeling super depressed and defeated. I've gained weight (too much) since I had to for health reasons, and I feel so gross and fat and disgusting and I have no motivation to be social. I've been eating little and working out for sometimes 3 hours a day and keep gaining weight. Some words of kindness and encouragement would be nice :) thanks for listening

you sound like you may be gaining much needed muscle and that is always heavier than fat, congratulations on overcoming your ED I too have an ED and I struggle every single day not to just hate myself and eat everything in the house, I have lost over 50lbs but I recently gained back 10 in muscle weight and I got very discouraged untill my doctor explained to me it is a good thing because the added muscle helps the fat break down more efficiently
