Personally given the choice I would never weigh myself ever again, as I just hate knowing the numbers and besides, I know myself that weight isn't really the most accurate way to determine whether someone's body is healthy or not. After all some people are more muscular so they will be heavier for instance.<br /><br />Thanks a million hun for all your advice. I agree 100% with every point you make! all my love hun you have helped me so much the past few weeks I am so grateful to you, it really does mean so much hun <3 xxxxxganacheelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10626465131918136643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252306255652481387.post-19509420033512156162015-07-31T22:17:55.250-07:002015-07-31T22:17:55.250-07:00I was exactly the same. Until I started recovery I...I was exactly the same. Until I started recovery I had no idea how much I weighed, what my BMI was or how many calories I was eating each day. Back in April I started doing blind weigh-ins and that has made a HUGE difference for me. And really, I don't see any reason why you should know your weight? I have a family member who is recovered from anorexia (totally completely 100% recovered) and despite being recovered for 10+ years she has no scale in her house. Her view is that she knows what is healthy and she listens to her body and she does not need a number to tell her that.<br /><br />I would also caution you against having a "goal weight" in mind. No one (including the doctors etc.) can know what your ideal weight is. Let your body decide. I've read time and time again that this is the ONLY way to really achieve recovery. Keep eating the same meal plan even if you go above your "goal" weight. Usually, in fact, you DO have to go above your set point, but then your body naturally regulates back down. But you NEED to let your body decide. When it starts functioning properly (i.e. when you get your period back etc.) THEN you know you're at a good weight.

I avoid them as strong as I can, because I want to be stronger than my ed that tells me all the time that I need to weigh myself as this determines my worth, my weight determines if I am allowed to be happy or not, if I am good or bad. I am so glad that you help me and show me every day how strong you are. You deserve the best in the world.
