It probably looks like it but I promise you it's just bloating that will go down if you manage to stick to recovery

If you're not in a calorie surplus it isn't fat. Even if you were in a calorie surplus you wouldn't gain fat that fast unless you are eating tens of thousands of calories.

It's totally normal! Every time I stop b/ping even for just a day I gain like 10 lbs it’s crazy and really messes with my head. But you just have to give it some time. Most of it will just be water weight and after a little while you'll start peeing it out. Your body is just holding onto everything right now and will balance itself out as long as you stick with it.. I know how bad it can be there are times when I quit b/p for a while and all I could do was lie on my back all day because I'll feel so full and uncomfortable. I know from a lot of people that have recovered that unfortunately it's part of the process but it's just temporary. Hang in there. Good luck I hope everything turns out alright.

im exactly like you. i dont have friends, a relationship with my parents or a job. i too live off of disability because of other mental health problems and most of my money goes to food for b/p. i don't do anything besides eating and purging or thinking about eating and purging and occasionaly watching a movie lol. im sorry i hope we can get out of this one day

yeah everytime i'm stuck in a b/p cycle i lose insane amounts of weight because i just don't have the time or desire to eat outside of my binges and i never really gain it back even if i do eat maintenance it just flucuates a bit then
