The teenagers body and the tragedy of unnecessary lack of knowledge.

When I was a teenager noone told me at school or at home what I have read here about the needed weight gain that happens because the body is developing into an adult body. The teenagers should be warned againt dieting in this phase. (I was encouraged to diet by a nurse, and I wasn't even overweight!) If the teenagers knew that the body develops untill they are 25 and that they shouldn't mess with the body and be judgemental about the look of it before they saw the end result in their twenties (and hopefully don't be judgemental about it then either, of course). If they knew the body would look less swollen later if they just waited to see, many wouldn't have started dieting, I think. It could prevent it, at least for some. Why on earth are they not told this and encouraged to trust their bodies? I think it is sad and upsetting.
At least the school nurse could have the task to speak about it for the entire school every year. About the body changes, the importance of respecting their own and others boundaries for intimacy and privacy, warn against commenting and criticising, learn about communication, solving conflicts, expressing emotions and so on. Mental health, is that a taboo subject or are people so materialistic that they don't think it matters (because it isn't matter)?

To accept your body the way it is, the way it is in recovery and the way it wants to be.

Accepting that you don’t get to choose what your body looks like at the end of the recovery process. (At times it might feel less like acceptance and more like admitting defeat.)

Are you missing out on all the things you could become because you are coveting your anorexic body? So attached to a dying body that you can’t let yourself really live in this new, healthy body? There is nothing good in this desire.

Avoid full length mirrors and long showers to avoid body checking.

Avoid buying clothes as much as possible. use loose clothes and buy clothes after recovery. Don't get hung up on sizes.

Remember that you will not gain forever. The weight gain will happen in a fast speed perhaps, but that will not continue for long. It will slow down. You will not have extreme hunger and edema forever. This will stop as soon as the body is fulfilled.

The weight will on many accumulate in the stomach area, and first as water. The weight will even out later.  The body composition will also adjust to what it is suppose to be. All will come into place eventually. Just keep on nourishing the body. It knows what it's doing. You just got to trust it.

The people who have a natural body, eats what the fuck they want and the amount they want are the toughest. Not those who are too scared of not pleasing the crowd and restrict their bodys needs.

The girl who wanted muscles in recovery.
