How to deal with large weight gain? It’s so hard to not want to jump back in to restrictive tendencies when I was 130-150 pounds for 2 years and after a long depression and bad life circumstances I’m 200 pounds. I hate myself all of the time I just don’t know how to deal with it in a healthy way

      That's me. I was the lowest weight in my adult life. I ran a 10km marathon. I felt like me. Stuff happened and I have doubled my weight in a year. It feels way too hard to begin again. I just keep eating junk.

"Try not to dive back into restriction or negative self-talk, and try to avoid the scale for the meanwhile. Majority of weight gain is usually water retention, rarely legitimate weight. Even if it was, your body is happy, the times you were eating you felt good, and that’s all that matters. You are beautiful no matter who you are and what you look like. Try telling yourself possibly that 'this weight is the success of helping with my bipolar, and my body needs food for me to function to get better and recover'."
