Amazing...yours sounds like the same exact path as mine...I have been struggling for nearly 15 years...with many recovery attempts 'stopped'...because I was afraid I had a broken metabolism as the end of overshoot seemed nowhere in sight! I went from a BMI of 11 (I'm 5'2") to weighing 159....It scared me so much. Now I am trying again and want so dearly...desperately...to believe in the recovery process...and that my 'cave girl brain' will finally believe that I will continually nourish myself to allow my metabolism to go back to normal. May I ask how long you've been waiting "for (your) metabolism to chill out"?! Thank you so much for sharing on this forum/feed and best of luck in your recovery!
HI yes I know exactly what you’re going through. I myself had anorexia, lost 20 kilos and within a year gained it all back + some. I eat a very clean diet, weight train and am very active however weight will not budge. Have also had my thyroid tested, doctor did nothing for me. I have endometriosis which i thought may have something to with my hormones making it hard to lose the weight but like you I have no idea what to do and am sick of trying so hard and seeing no results!!
I have the same problem. I was working out 3 times a day and lowered my calorie intake and I gained ten lbs. I feel like I have tried everything to lose weight and can't. My doctor told me that by starving myself and going into organ failure (I was on deaths door when I decided to get help) I caused my body to hold onto everything in response to going without. I think our metabolism is in shock, it's been five years and I still have trouble losing weight
I have the same problem .:(
hello, i am having same problem as you , before i lost 35 lbs and now i gained too much weight i feel very shameful of myself. even if i try to eat less i am still ending up gaining weight
I wish I was 126 pounds
After my first anorexia episode, I went from 120 lbs (for 5'1") to 185+ lbs after 15 years. Had a relapse, got down to 90 lbs, and 7 years after I'm around 117 lbs and TERRIFIED I'm just going back to being obese. Life is so unfair, what the f did I do to deserve this?
