I'm eating 3000 calories right now - I could eat around 3500 by just adding in a few higher calorie beverages and spreads, etc., Check out my diary if you wish

I starved myself into the hospital...impossible to eat fewer calories and get 'fat'...

Hornsby - you look like another person! Super awesome=)

teehee

No unfortunately I'm not...perhaps you need a new roomy? ;)

no, but I wish I was :)

Thank you to those that have posted their recovery accounts. I'm currently IP - 2 months now (second time around too) and it's getting hard...er. All my weight is going to my tummy and I'm getting flabby - arms and back are becoming softer. I'll be needing to work out as soon as I get out of here...

sorry about 'Grace' had to see if it would work

Happened to me. It only began growing back once I had sufficient fat, carb and protein in an adequate, balanced way.

Were you underweight prior to the 2500 calories/day? I am currently in a ED program. Started out eating 3x's as much as I usually consumed and didn't gain one bit - over 4 weeks. In fact I lost weight. If you are at a very low weight (due to restriction) your body takes that energy it is now getting and goes to work in…

I am currently in recovery (IP) eating 3000 calories per/day now. I've been here for two months. Yes, it is difficult journey ahead of us. Add me if you need some support from someone who can relate.

Thanks - and yes I'm am being closely monitored every step of this process. My friends on MFP have been so wonderful and SUPER supportive.

Thank you! I am eating 3000 calories/day and logging it so I know I'm meeting my goals AND I was reading this thread in the GAINING WEIGHT group. Clearly FatFree perhaps should answer to the topic of discussion and not worry her mind on other people's journeys.

Ok...I am in hospital for anorexia...they use this as a sort of punishment if you decide you can not complete your meals here. It is absolutely disgusting.

Me too...although I'm fighting it too...

I'm sure you could find something equally healthy for yourself that you do enjoy. There are so many healthy things to eat out there, so why the heck would you consume something you don't enjoy...

I've just currently been 'put' into an ED program...oh yes, I'll be gaining weight - I've only been here one week and have gained one+ pounds and am now eating more than twice the amount I usually do...oh my it's hard. Add me as a friend if you would like!
