I have been seeing a nutritionist for my ED and was doing really good for a few weeks- eating everyday and feeling good about it. Then, i noticed I had gained about 4 lbs (went from 104-108 and Im 5'6") I have heard I need to gain but I hate the way i look even more. i can feel the fat on my body and when i think about it my heart races and i get so upset. I can literally FEEL the pounds- makes my stomach sick- I skipped my nutritionist appointment yesterday b/c i dont want her to know how i feel- what a waste of time this has been. nothing seems to help. I just want to break all the mirrors so i cant see myself and hope that nobody will see me. Sorry guys...bad week!

If she knew how you were feeling, maybe she could have helped you through it.... talking helps to heal. (and) If I may ask? - have you ever been Dx with BDD (Body Dysmorphic Disorder) or read any books on it?

I went through that, too, but now -- a year and a lot of pounds later -- while I still have a lot of the feelings about being fat and ugly, I can tell you that what you're experiencing DOES pass.

It won't take too much longer for the worst of it to pass, either. The best thing you can do, though, to make it pass faster, is to eat consistently, and work towards gaining some more weight. It really won't be as bad as it feels right now. Somehow, gaining the first 15 pounds was much worse than gaining the remaining 35 for me.

Good luck.

I totally understand how your feeling,I also can't stand the way my body feels physchally.I try and tell my counsler how it feels and she doesn't understand.I hate looking in the mirror and try not to.I guess I find it helpful by keeping myself busy,the more I move around the better I feel.I can't exercise or walk much so I'm limited to what I can do.I recentally got a puppy,she's the love of my life and just playing with her and cuddeling with her seems to help also.I hope you start feeling better,my thoughts are with you.
