Down in the dumps....

[sk18]

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
