I'm in the middle of eating disorder recovery. therapist doesn't want me to weigh myself. should i listen to her?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Doing regular daily or several times daily weigh ins with an eating disorder is only going to exacerbate the illness, and in a way is somewhat akin to an addiction or compulsion.
