Message: <blockquote data-quote="DCUKMod" data-source="post: 1489022" data-attributes="member: 345386">This may or may not be relevant to you, as an individual, but many moons ago I suffered from an eating disorder (and I'm not suggesting you have such a thing) and became very thin, and I mean very thin.  When I started treatment, which included a refeeding regime, I was concerned, in the early days, that  the weight I gained tended to be on my torso.  I was reassured (several times!) that this was absolutely usual.  Apparently, weight usually goes onto the torso (hence, I guess, belts tightening etc), then as it settles and our bodies get used to not being in a weight loss situation, in due course, our bodies will redistribute it.You could do worse than read about "refeeding syndrome".  That describes a condition whereby during a refeeding situation (which is pretty much what you're doing), your body can become a bit dis-regulated and return some very odd results for a period.  All sorts of our systems and bodily processes can be disrupted during the earlier period of refeeding.Does it ring any bells with you?Life can be cruel.  We can neither choose where we lose weight, nor gain weight in the earlier stages, but our bodies can be clever at sorting it out.  I do hope you achieve what you're hoping for.Edited to mainly correct some nonsensical typos.</blockquote>
