In recovery - why am I losing weight ???
First of all I just wanna say I'm so grateful for this sub. I used to post very frequently when I was struggling very badly and used to feel alone. This sub helped me feel seen and the kind people here gave me alot of motivation to go for recovery.
I have been in recovery since a month, I have a psychologist and a psychiatrist, plus my mum is a doctor and overlooks things at home. I also started taking sertraline. I have been eating everyday and on half the days I eat "normally" or slightly less than that and on the rest I usually eat in a surplus. I have stopped weighing myself and I don't workout anymore. I don't count my steps or even walk like that.
For context, I used to do alot of steps per day everyday, and would only eat a little bit every couple of days. I'm doing alot better now, but I weighed myself today and I lost even more weight and I've never been underweight in my entire life - now I am. I'm so confused and I don't feel good about this. Is this normal? Has anyone experienced the same?
Edit: I think this whole thing is also making my body dysmorphia worse because I genuinely thought I gained some weight because of the surplus. I thought I looked healthier. But when I weighed myself it's the opposite. I feel like I'm gaslighting myself.
