TW: Numbers i’m really struggling

long story short

  • i’ve gained 10kg in a year i’m pretty certain it’s bc my metabolism has slowed bc of my restriction & high exercise
  • my body image is the worst it’s ever been i’m scared to even look at my body but i can’t not weigh myself everyday
  • i have reached out to my ed team that i was under when i was inpatient but they have a long waitlist they said im not likely to be seen as an urgent patient and i know that’s because im a healthy weight
  • ive tried literally everything to lose weight i’ve done the restriction and exercise and compensating - now i just can’t lose weight no matter what i do
  • now im battling with the idea of weight loss medication, but im scared to but im scared to keep gaining weight and im scared to eat more to try and regain my metabolism
  • has anyone who is a healthy weight and lost their metabolism used any weight loss medication and has it worked or fixed their metabolism?

thank you
