Should you weigh yourself in eating disorder recovery? This is one of the most common questions I hear from clients and from women in my DMs, especially when they’re in that uncertain middle space of recovery where things are changing, but the fear around weight is still very present.
In this episode, I’m talking about the emotional pull of wanting to know your weight, why the scale can feel so loaded in recovery, and what often happens before and after someone decides to step on it.
I unpack why blind weigh-ins are often recommended, how the urge to know your weight can show up when recovery starts to feel more real, and why that number can carry so much meaning even when it tells you very little about your actual health, healing, or progress.
I’m also sharing examples inspired by my work with clients to show how learning your weight can affect recovery, body image, compensatory behaviours, and the sense of trust you’re trying to build with yourself and your treatment team.
If you’ve been wondering whether weighing yourself would help you feel more in control, more reassured, or more prepared, this episode will give you some important questions to reflect on before you decide.
In this episode, I cover:
- Why the question of weighing yourself comes up so often in eating disorder recovery
- The difference between not weighing yourself in recovery versus “throwing caution to the wind”
- Why seeing a number on the scale can be emotionally destabilizing
- The intense anticipation that can build when you don’t know your weight
- How body checking, clothing size changes, and mirror checking can become clues people use instead
- The “before and after” effect of learning your weight
- Why weight can take on a kind of symbolic or “magical” meaning
- Examples of how knowing a weight can disrupt recovery and increase fear-driven behaviours
- What to ask yourself before deciding whether to weigh yourself
- Why behaviour change, emotional healing, and self-care matter more than a number
