I am a week away from my one year anniversary of being diagnosed with mono. it has been an incredibly hard year. I only started properly resting in October of last year and since then Ive noticed Im gaining weight. It is not a substantial change but it is just enough to notice. This weight gain feels like physical proof of the year I lost, like my body is carrying the emotional weight of everything that has changed.

I'm wondering if anyone has dealt with this also? And if anyone has any advice for moving past these feelings?
