Anonymous asked: Do you have any advice on how to make the number on the scale not make or break my day tomorrow? I'm afraid i've gained from some new meds i'm on and it's scaring me. I don't want to have to start restricting again.

Simple- don’t look at the scale. If you know it’s something that’s going to upset you… just don’t look at it. If you must be weighed, have someone with you so that you don’t have to look. Seeing a different number on the scale can be extremely triggering when you’re in recovery.

I know- not looking is much easier said that done. But just remember, it’s a number… that’s all. It doesn’t define you. You are SO MUCH MORE than just that number. Don’t let it control you.
