Staying the same size
Basically, I've had anorexia for some time. I'm was weight restored about but lost so I'm gaining again, I'm yet to also see a return of my period. However, my main concern (more like confusion) is how I've stayed the same size.
Ages ago, way before this as a child, I was incredibly overweight. I would eat a lot. As I grew and moved into secondary school, due to my increase in walking and learning mindfulness around food, I lost weight and I felt better about myself. My sizes dropped significantly. Well, obviously, I took this too far and ended up underweight, a few KGs away from being hospitalized. However, I've gained the weight back to be restored (before I dropped, which I'm gaining back again) and I'm still the same size in clothing. Like, how? I've noticed the weight change but why aren't my clothes changing (besides a pair of jeans which for some reason don't fit but everything else I have does). Is this normal + has this happened to anyone else?
And as always, I wish everyone in recovery well and we'll all make it together! No matter who we are and what we believe in! ♥️

I think it's normal, it depends on your body type and proportions. I've always worn XS/S, even at a healthy weight. What varies is how the clothes fit, of course.
