something that really stuck with me about the physical aspect of recovering from a restrictive type eating disorder is that, for people who developed an eating disorder as a child or teenager, your body has likely never known what it’s like to be a healthy adult weight without being starved. (Healthy being whatever is safest and natural to your body when you are treating it well.)
So if you’re entering the physical aspect of recovery, and are terrified of continuing to gain weight, know that your body is just trying to sort itself out. It isn’t healthy to weigh the same as you did when you were 13, 16, 18, as a grown adult.
Try to trust your body. Trust in your recovery. You’re going to find a body which supports you and allows you to do so many wonderful things. It’s going to be okay.
