doctor app went horribly bad.
hi! its me. im back. i just had a doctor appointment today, but before i want to tell u a lil bit of context:
(TW for comments abt weight gain and just in case)
if u have been seing my posts since some time u might know i was going through EH and dealing with a lot of comments of my mom, etc. i had just started honouring it 6 months ago from the 11 months i had been in recovery. and for some time i was still a lil bit restrictive. so i had gained a "lot" of weight but i was still ravenously hungry and thinking abt food all the time cause i kept restricting for long, even in recovery.
today, i got weighed at my doctor appointment, and the FIRST thing she said was: "woah u gained a lot of weight since the last time we saw u" (1 month and 10 days ago), and they were GENUINELY worried abt that. u best believe i got triggered to infinity and started crying the second i got out of the room.
like, im not blind, i already knew i had gained a "lot" in the past month cause i had been eating thousands of calories (not going to say specific numbers cus i dont want to be triggering), but being told i did with such worry was honestly heartbreaking to me. i spent a lot of time trying to convince myself that gaining weight was not bad and trying to honour my hunger cause i was so tired of being hungry and thinking abt food all the time, and i had commited to recovering even if my weight stabilized at a "overweight" bmi (bmi is bullshit, i know, i just used it as a reference!! pls dont value ur worth according to it), but now i feel so ashamed and disappointed abt myself. almost as if i did something wrong.
i thought i was doing everything right, the past month is the time i had gained the most weight but also when i found the most freedom in food. did i really do something wrong? i feel so lost in my proccess. i really wanted to get to 1 year in recovery but its getting hard.
