I am struggling to recover from anorexia, and part of that means gaining weight. At the time, i am 17 years old, 5'4, and weigh around 82lbs. My mom already talked to this doctor/nutritionist that im supposed to meet with next week, and she wants me to increase my calories to gain weight (mostly using ensure, boost drinks, etc). My mom agreed that if i can gain 10lbs and keep it on, she will back down off me a little bit. I KNOW in my heart that i need to gain this weight, but i am scared. Despite the fact that i feel fat/bloated a lot, i cannot deny that the number on the scale is dangerously low, and i know that i need to gain this weight for my health. How can i overcome my fears and find the strength to do this?
Thank you in advance
