Hi! Congratulations on
Hi! Congratulations on getting help, and for working on your recovery! It's usual for any weight that is gained in treatment to at first settle around the middle. Do you know why? It has do with the body trying to protect your vital organs after it being starved for so long! It will take a few months for this to redistribute, but it will! For everyone it is different, but please remember not to try to manipulate it with excessive exercise, or you may end up relapsing. It's a very vulnerable time for your body and your mind. Please try to be patient and focus on other aspects of your identity besides your body's shape and size. I know that's not easy, but something to work on!
Good luck!

Yeah, i also went through
Yeah, i also went through this hellish phase when i was an inpatient. I remember it got better after a while, that terrible bloated feeling and it was unbareable. Felt bad about myself all the time and couldnt focus at all but it does get better as the body starts to adjust and the weight adjusts. I relapsed though as soon as i was discharged :( and i went back to square one. Ever since, i cant get back on track and i feel let dowwn,
But dont let this put you off. Ur doing a great job, and ur being very brave about it because you want to. Good luck :)
