Were you or are you currently working with a treatment team?
I was. Now I am trying to work with my Camp Gladiator trainer and team
are you being honest about how little you are eating?
Yes. If I eat anything more than this, it is usually extra celery or cucumbers
I think the poster meant are you being honest with your coach and team. Are they aware of your intake?
I have told them I struggle to get enough, yes.
and they're happy for you to participate in training sessions?
to be honest that's irresponsible on their part and irresponsible of you to keep exercising when you're know you're not fueling your body sufficiently.
please see a doctor and get some help.2 -
Well to be honest struggling to get enough is pretty vague. There's a big difference between eating 1200 or whatever the calorie goal is and eating 7000
-
Even at 1200 calories and your total weight/height/activity level you'd still be LOSING weight. Before you add more vigorous activity you need to get more help.0

Have you been honest with them about your history of eating disorders????
Seriously. Check in with your treatment team--they know far more about your nutrition and mental state than some glorified trainers.2 -
You are eating far FAR too little, this is who should be eating 500 calories a day http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/518970-who-should-eat-500-calories-a-day?hl=who+should+eat+500+calories
As others have stated, even 1200 is far too low. If you have this much fear of weight, I would suggest talking to a professional about it as you are setting yourself up for long term health issues due to malnutrition.1 -

OP, you actually have a healthy weight for your height. And your BMI is 20, which is really fine. I have a hard time understanding how you can maintain that weight on just 700 calories a day. You must be consuming more than you think you are.0

I don't know where. This is what I eat. If there is anything extra, it's all raw veggies0 -

Probably not the best thing to say to someone with a history of anorexia who is trying to up her calories to a healthy level and is already having some anxiety about it. OP, this isn't anything you need to be worried about.1 -

Pretty sure that an accurate tracking of calories would show that she is consuming more than the 700 she stated. Which is a GOOD thing. I wasn't being negative, in fact I THOUGHT I was being positive.0 -

Looking at your first post, I see you have Honeycrisp Applr Slices, 6 slices = 35 calories.
Well, one medium apple is about 110 -120 calories, I think. Are these super thin slices?
I would suggest slicing up that apple and eating ALL the slices.0
