In my recovery from bulimia I noticed a very slow weight gain. I was never under weight so it was not a therapy goal for myrecovery to re-gain any weight.However, as a side effect of some of the meds used in my recovery, I did gain a bit of weight.
For example, in dealing with anxiety for 1, I had to learn to relax, and not run around so much.To do this it required a bit of tweeking on my cars timing. This timing change required the grey chains or brakes be increased on my energy. I had to learn to slow down, and not bolt out the door after dinner and go straight to the gym, or not to swim 200 laps daily. I had to take it all down a notch and let mother nature catch up with my female body. Then my body began to physically recover by firstly , regaining some weight, and regaining my monthly menses, and on time too. With that physical recovery also came the use of a rx that helped me to relax. Unfortunately, I had to make myself exercise at times, once the rx kicked in. I felt sluggish at times, and was very in touch with my weight gain. But, at least my teeth were saved from disaster, as was my electrolytes, and my planter faciatis also went away with plenty of rest from compulsive walking routines. I still exercise, just not as much. And eat 3-5 meals a day, but try not to snack on trigger foods. Otherwise, I'm back at point A, and have to work really hard just to maintain my current weight. Currently, I am down 10 lbs, and still have about 30 more to go. I realize that this weight loss will require much self discipline, and small goals, until I reach my ultimate weightloss goal. I am not aiming for bones to protrude, just to feel healthier, and lighter on my feet. Currently , this is a battle for me.
