I'm somewhere along the way towards "nutritional restoration" and have gained a significant amount of weight. I'm not at my target weight yet, and am still hovering below the bottom BMI range for my size, but I'm feeling HUGE! It's terrible, and I'm getting pretty miserable about it.
I do know that it's largely distortion, because I can still feel my ribs a bit more easily than I believe is healthy, and my hipbones still stick out. But even knowing that it's a distortion isn't enough -- I'm feeling yucky.
Has anyone here been through anything during treatment that dealt directly with adjusting body image? Dealing with the crisis invovled with getting bigger?
