I am in early stages of recovery for anorexia. In 3 weeks I've gained 13lbs from eating 2000 calories a day. I know some of it is water and constipation but I am terrified that I'll keep on gaining, even though technically I should be maintaining my weight at those calories and I am weight restored. Also I am having horrible bloating and constipation even though I'm eating the right amount of fibre and drinking water - any advice?

In the early stages of recovery you will gain more weight because your metabolism is trying to get back to normal. Soon your body will get to it’s natural weight and you’ll be able to maintain it. Just give it some time! My mom always tells me that recovery doesn’t take a day ;)

Stay strong!
