I am a 20 year old woman whose health anxiety started at the beginning of April 2015, so I've been dealing with it for about 9 months. When it first started in April, I felt nauseous all the time and had no appetite and went from 120 pounds to around 113.
I have always been tall and skinny since I was a child. I am 5' 7'' so I should weigh about 120 to be in the "normal" BMI range, although I know BMI is not always an accurate measure. Anyway, for the past 4 months or so I have been eating a lot more in an effort to gain weight. I don't really exercise except for doing light yoga occasionally. I weigh around 116 after I eat and if I weight myself in the morning before I eat anything I'm 113 pounds.
I am so frustrated and worried because I feel should weigh like 130 with the amount I've been eating. I've always had a high metabolism, but I used to weigh 120 or even a few pounds more but I just can't gain the weight back and it makes me nervous and frustrated.
Any advice/comments would be so, so appreciated.
