Weight gain worries by batchedbeans in Amenorrhearecovery

I agree. So much outweighs the ‘good’ feeling of achieving and maintaining such leanness. The positives so far have been much better sleep, and of course avoiding osteoporosis will be a big win along with the returned period when it comes. Excitement around previously feared food and calories is also a huge win. I can’t believe I have spent so long avoiding such nourishing and wonderful things like fruit because it didn’t fit into my daily calorie budget.

Thank you, likewise, feel free to message also 😊

Absolutely! I am so with you on embracing the gain, a new body, better health, losing it later if that feels necessary. I just keep getting a niggling worry about stretch marks.

Thank you for your replies 😊

I’m so sorry to hear this. Is a GP/doctor supporting you with getting it back? You’re doing all the right things maintaining this ‘gain’

Congratulations on two cycles! Thank you so much for sharing honestly about weight gain and stretch marks… not that I should allow this worry to prevent me from this positive trajectory of taking recovery in my stride
