I need friends who are very heatlhy

I've been going without friends for awhile, and I have been slipping back into my anorexic habits. (I was hospitalized last year). I don't want to go through that, but I still want to loose weight and am still a bit obsessed over it. I'm not eating enough of calories and never eat my calories back. It's really difficult to eat them back. I try to eat "clean": staying away from things in wrappers amongst other junk.

I just want a friend who has their log open so I can compare it to mine.

  • I eat quite healthily unless I binge. My diary is also open for my friends but I was hospitalized for my ED previously so my intake is sometimes rather low. I'm trying to get better though and if you don't think I'm gonna trigger you you can add me if you want to.

    You can add me if you want. I kind of have a perfectionist/OCDish streak and am always under whatever goal I set for myself. I'm not a perfect eater (like if I really want a Snickers bar, I will have it), but I'd say I'm doing pretty well. And my diary is open. I'm in maintenance, so I've been slowly upping cals to figure out where I need to be. I can see how ppl become anorexic, I could have those tendencies, which is partly why I decided to set a firm low weight goal for myself and stick to it. I didn't get into this to trade overeating for under eating :)

    If you are having trouble eating back calories, you could try doing what I do and set your daily goal higher to cover the average of your weekly exercise. Then continue to exercise, but don't eat it back! Good luck! Eating clean is a great goal, something I plan to work more and more on this year.

    Ive been very overweight for many many years am have become scared of anything that resembles junk food.
    I am now abit of a health food nut but dont have a big appetite which combined easily means a 700 cal day but I am trying to keep it over 1000 cals even if it means eating almond butter straight from the jar! I struggle to get enough calories, but I am making an effort.

    Add me :)
