Are you clinging to some "ideal body weight", an arbitrary number - TopicsExpress



          

Are you clinging to some "ideal body weight", an arbitrary number set by you (in tacit collusion with your ED, usually) or a well-meaning clinician, hoping to stop gaining at or lose to that magical number? How, I wonder, does some mathematical formula or another person - no matter how experienced or well-educated - know better than your own body what YOUR unique and genetically-determined optimum weight is? Why would anyone set an ideal or goal weight that requires constant vigilance on your part to stick to, either eating more or less than your body actually wants? Are you willing to weigh more than your ED is comfortable with in order to achieve maximum wellness and improve your pursuit of recovery? If so, start asking questions. This is a good basis for getting the conversation with yourself (and your treatment team) going: edbites/2013/09/letting-go-of-the-ideal-body-weight/
