Hi, UK boards. I'm new (first post) to this forum, and this is also the first time I've used a forum such as this. Things have gotten pretty flustered lately, however, and I could really use some advice.
Well, I'll start from the beginning:
Summer of last year I was diagnosed with anorexia, weighing in at about 108 pounds. I'm male, 5'7'', and 17 (closer to 18, now) years of age. Medical staff encouraged me to take in a higher amount of calories to achieve a "normal" weight for someone of my build. For all of that fall, and most of the winter, I was on a diet of ~2250 calories a day. I'm not especially active due to cold weather and schoolwork, but over all those months there was only about a weight gain of four-five pounds, placing me at the 112-113 mark.
This spring, starting about midway through January, my weight began to rise. I've not changed the amount of calories, but over the past month the scale is showing me anywhere from 118-121 pounds. I'm feeling extremely uncomfortable, worried both that this trend will continue to the point of extreme unhealth (one of the contributors to my initial anorexia), mixed in with a reluctance to cut back for fear of regressing + stress from extracurricular events lately.
This has been deeply effecting my focus lately, as I spend a good deal of my time worrying over the issue. It's worth noting that I count calories on a slip of paper every day, so it's not likely that my count has been very skewed.
I'd love it if someone could offer me some advice, tell me what I should be doing, or direct me to someone/something that could.
Thanks for taking the time to read this,
