Body Image Advice?
I’m coming up on two years in recovery. I have a pretty good routine going, I eat fairly freely, and I exercise “appropriately,” and I’ve generally been feeling positive about my body. Until a month or so ago after seeing my weight.
Since I saw my weight, I haven’t been restricting but my thoughts are TERRIBLE. I don’t think I’ve ever thought about how much I dislike my body. I also quit vaping recently, got injured so exercise has been reduced and low-impact, and I’m 90% sure I’ve gained weight. I cannot stop obsessing over it.
I really don’t want to restrict again. I can’t. But I don’t know how to quiet the noise - it’s the first thing I think about in the morning and the last thing before bed. I feel physically and mentally uncomfortable in my body. Any advice is helpful.
