Q+A: In ED recovery, when will my body “click” + go back to its natural set point weight range?

This YouTube Video is a question submitted by Erin. Erin writes,

“My question for you today is one that I am begging to be answered. I was anorexic for 2 years, taking in only [a minimal amount of] calories a day and working out x hours per day. Last year, I noticed that even with gym and calorie upkeep at these levels, I was beginning to gain weight. I assumed that this was due to the fact that my body was starving and holding onto any calories it did get, for dear life.

I have since begun counseling, met with a registered dietitian and have a new wonderful gym/workout routine that I love. In the meantime I have gone from a [small anorexic size] to now a larger dress size. I am absolutely miserable being so big because I worked so hard to to get down to about [my healthy weight range]. It was from [my healthy size] to my lowest weight that I did so by committing to anorexia.

My question to you is…when will my body click?
When will it start losing weight again?

I truly believe that I have hit my set point and that I will not gain any more weight from this point. However, will I ever be able to be back to my goal weight of [in my healthy weight range]?

When will my body finally realize that I am healthy now and say “hey it’s ok to start dropping weight again.” I know my friends and family love me for who I am, but now I am so uncomfortable in my skin and what I see in the mirror. Mentally I am healing with these issues and have come so far. Now, I simply want back my smaller sizes that I am working so hard for–in a healthy way!!!

Do you have any advice on when it may be or anything I can do? Thank you in advance–you’re an inspiration.

Blessings, Erin”
