Words of encouragement? Misjudged my height/weight

Well, I went to the doctor today and they weighed me and measured my height. Somehow all these years I thought I was 5'6" and I'm only 5'4"--and not only that, but my scale is apparently broken, because I weigh 6 pounds more than I thought I did. Needless to say I freaked out afterward. If anybody has any words of encouragement on what I can do to prevent myself from relapsing, I would welcome them..... Thank you in advance!

Think of it this way, the scale and height are just a number.  A number that we end up putting too much value on.  Who said that 5'4" isn't as good as 5'6"?  and what does it matter that your scale is different?  

The first thing my therapist told me when I started recovery was to stay off the scale.  What matters is how you feel and how healthy you actually are.  I am definitely much heavier than I was at the height of my ED but I physically feel much better.   I'll admit that I have my days, but most of the time I feel better about myself in general.  Appearance is only temporary, and if we place too much value on that then we aren't living life to the fullest.

Remember, recovery is a process.  And the goal is push the importance of weight and appearance down from their current place on our priority list.
