Mine used our pediatric charts and patterns to guess where our weight should be. But I don't know how that would work for an adolescent or someone who struggled with an ED for a very young age. I'm sorry to hear you went through all of that, but am glad you are beginning to figure out where your weight should be!Progression Obsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07731921488035095856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994608397400149752.post-52821899701688603292013-11-09T11:05:17.378-08:002013-11-09T11:05:17.378-08:00I wonder if one of the reasons that this is so com...I wonder if one of the reasons that this is so common is that the initial goal weight is unrealistic? When I entered recovery, my treatment team set a goal based on my highest weight after puberty. However, I had been actively restricting since I was 10. So even though that goal weight was much healthier than my weight when I entered treatment, it still didn't reflect a healthy place for me. Add on the fact that that weight was at 14 years old and several inches shorter, and it make sense why my final set point was higher than my goal weight. However, at the time I overshot it was pretty damn traumatic. I wish we could find a better metric of restored health. At my initial goal weight I still didn't get my period, still was suffering a lot of the physical symptoms of malnutrition and was still restricting. I'm now at a weight that would have appalled me had it been my goal when I entered treatment but am the healthiest I've been in my entire life. The trick is learning to trust our bodies. And obviously if we could do that well, we wouldn't have needed to be in treatment in the first place!

Knowing that my obsession to a body image and the number on a scale is a sympton of underlying issues, yes, I have been feeling awful everyday lately.

Because out of it, you know it was worth it, but when you are in this point it is so tough to realize you are way better than any overshooting of weight that happened.
