I’m really stressing out about this weekend and even though I’d feel really terrible about it, I’m considering trying to get out of the plans I made. The idea of having to eat “normally” after having gained some back is really weighing on my mental health and I really just want to get back in the 80’s before I even consider having “free weekends” again. We’ll see I guess. Idk what to do.

Omg are you me? The fluctuating between 88-90 lbs for months is EXACTLY what I’ve been dealing with until recently when I gained 3 lbs over that range. And it happened to me when I was in the upper 70’s too! My body always begins to plateau the longer I’ve been restricting and it’s so frustrating. I did eventually manage to lose a couple more but didn’t maintain it for long since I ended up in treatment.I know slow weight loss is endlessly frustrating... been there. One time I spent an entire 2 months just fluctuating from 88lbs to 90lbs no matter what I did for some fucking reason. It was the worst thing ever. It happened again at 77lbs, where I'd go from 77 to 79 over and over again in an endless loop, this time for 4 months, despite knowing I was definitely restricting. But, both times I got put of the plateaus having lost 5lbs seemingly overnight, magically, so I promise this won't last forever. Consistency will get you where you want to be. Weight loss just becomes so much more painfully slow when you're underweight, and being short and having a lower TDEE anyway makes it so much worse. I promise your body or metabolism isn't abnormally broken, because I'm pretty sure this is something every anorexic goes through... that's why we feel cold and get all those symptoms. But it's literally impossible to stop losing weight on less than 1000kcal, and it will happen! Hugs
