My Bones Got Stronger. My Anxiety Got Worse

At 40, severe osteopenia. Years of acid blockers had stolen my bone density. Started calcium citrate in September. 1000mg daily. Did everything right this time. Eight pounds later, I'm staring at 116 on the scale. Used to be 108. The number sits heavy in my chest. I know I should celebrate. My bones are healing. My body needed this. But I catch myself calculating calories differently now, second-guessing portions I never questioned before. The rational part knows it's probably just my body adjusting. Maybe it's not even the calcium. But the anxious part counts those eight pounds like they're evidence of losing control. I'm healthier than I was six months ago. So why do I feel like I'm failing? #HealthAnxiety #BodyCheckChronicles #MaintenanceMode #Health #Diet
