Advice for transmasc w/ ARFID?
Hey, so as caption states I’m looking for any and all advice, honestly. I don’t have the resources yet for a therapist and figured the community might be nice to reach out to, so here goes.
I need any and all strategies you have for being *okay* with the weight gain of recovery. I have not been at a healthy weight since 2023, and as of this year I’ve only been able to recover.
The standard things happened, and I hate to say it, but all those “you look great!” compliments got to my head, QUICK.
I started transitioning, and with that, my weight distribution shows off my clearly poor (but there!!) daily diet.
While I’m working to improve those habits that trace me back to fast food and high processed items, I truly do not know how to be okay with my body re-using the space it once confidently took up. I love where I’m going physically- I’ve never smiled at myself until like a month ago.
All the while, I am still inwardly struggling to justify or show love for the recovery aspect of what I’m going through..any tips, big or infinitesimally small, are deeply appreciated.
Also, yes, I know this is the perfect post for sarcasm..but refrain, if you would, and thank you for your time.
