A member asked:
Can any doc explain if you get fat during recovery from anorexia nervosa?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You don't get fat: you get healthy! That means you will need to gain some weight and reach the healthy weight for your height. This may seem "fat" to you, however, anorexics are too thin and can die from malnutrition. Psychotherapy will help you understand and change your misconceived body image so that you can be healthy and thrive again. Let us know if you have additional questions.
