    Lift heavy weights.
    And again, talk to your therapist.

    I suggest you talk to a doctor about your concerns. They will guide you to the right direction.

    You stated you are a recovering anorexic, perhaps this is something to discuss with your therapist?

    Uh-oh. Did NOT see this, how did I miss it? OP...none of us here can or should help you. Please see your therapist and have a talk with him/her. :)

    if you want to look like those you tube fitness models, I would suggest a heavy lifting program and eating a lot more food….

    Hi OP:

    Short version:
    To me you sound like a person with an ED who has been triggered into the verge of a relapse. Your MFP goal to lose 8lbs is also a red flag.

    Please go see a specialist. If your specialist is not available because you've moved, you urgently need to find someone who can help you continue your treatment!

    Longer version:
    The a$$h0!3 piece of $h!t "trainer" makes his money by selling private sessions.
    The vast majority of females at his gym are probably there to lose weight.
    What's the easiest way to get a girl to cough up some dough?
    "Yo, honey, you look like you've gained some weight. Can I help?"
    Calculated to push the insecurity buttons of people trying (and often failing) to lose weight!

    If you, as a recovering ED person, are in that gym with no intention of losing weight, how exactly does this a$$h0l3's sales pitch apply to you or affect you?

    For whatever it's worth: You are not fat. You do not have a stomach. You do not have fat on your stomach. You are thin. In your pictures you look as if you're pushing your non-existent stomach out. You sure as hell do not look like you have an extra 8lbs available to lose.

    I will not comment on the women whose picture you showed other than to say that their body fat percentage is well below what would be appropriate for fit women. And they are sucking in their stomachs and have exhaled to remove the air from their bodies too. You didn't.

    You are currently in the middle of a major panic attack over your non existent stomach. If that is not a relapse of your ED thoughts triggered by the comment of that idiotic trainer, I don't know what would be!

    And yes, I see nothing wrong with politely explaining to the gym's manager that you are a person recovering from ED and that he should inform the staff that your goals do not include losing weight.

    In case you haven't realized this yet: you are not yet 100% recovered!
    Please go see a specialist.
