  • OP, I completely agree with you! A couple weeks ago I had enough... after being spammed by someone with 'likes' on feeds which mentioned I failed to meet my daily goals & as an anorexic, was continuing to lose weight... there's nothing supportive about that, I deleted them. I got the impression they hadn't even bothered to…
    in Why request friends if you're not going to interact? Comment by silverstormborn November 2015
  • Strength training may be pointless to the OP if she's underweight & struggling to eat. - I was advised by my dietitian not to for that very reason. I'll suggest something I plan on doing myself, because I struggle with the same issue. Plan your meals ahead of the week. This may be a little too ambitious but at least try…

  • 2 months ago I was just eating anything high in calories, regardless of nutritional value, & most of those high calorie foods were packed full of unhealthy sugars! It just seemed the easiest way to gain weight... & it was working. :# Now that I've cut down, I am struggling to make up the calories I'm missing.. So it's a…

  • :( I'd love nothing more than to be able to hit a gym & gain some muscle mass. It's so frustrating to actually be told I cannot do any form of real exercise. It makes me feel even more sluggish. Thank you <3
    in How do you get your daily dose of Iron? Comment by silverstormborn November 2015
  • Thank you so much for all the feedback! I'm 5ft2 & fluctuate between 84lbs & 91lbs. My goal is 98lbs, but as much as I'm determined to gain weight, I do struggle to eat anything more than 1000 calories per day. I do eat meat, so that shouldn't be a problem. I'm currently receiving treatment & have a dietitian, but the…
    in How do you get your daily dose of Iron? Comment by silverstormborn November 2015
  • I have this problem... but then I know what foods & drinks to avoid... & even then I still have this problem. If you're that concerned about your sugar intake, I'd suggest making a list of all those sugary foods/drinks you are consuming & consider phasing some of them out. Also, keep in mind fruit consists of a lot of…

  • futuremilf2015, I don't think you mean to rub people up the wrong way however, you are, & you have no idea what you're implying. I hope you don't have what I've been going through for my entire life. I hope you don't have anorexia & live out your days in solitude, depressed, & rushing to A&E at all hours of the night with…
    in I hope one day, gaining weight WILL be a problem for me. Comment by silverstormborn November 2015
  • It might be a little too ambitious, but if you commit yourself, it's not impossible. Eat foods high in calories, but don't forget to add fruit & vegetables daily, so it passes through & you don't get bloated. You can also drink your calories, if you don't enjoy eating or whenever you're in a rush & don't have the time to…

    in Nervous Eating.. HELP!!! Comment by silverstormborn October 2015
  • Hi Pebble! Also recovering from anorexia & just went through a similar situation; almost put on half a stone in just over 2 weeks, & as I gained, I began to feel uncomfortable. Stuffed. Particularly around the waist area, so if I laughed, it actually kinda hurt. It all just felt very tight... Anyway, I do believe I got a…

  • would also like to know why you're telling someone that protein is bad at anytime...? If you're not sure, please don't give someone false or inaccurate information - they're looking for help. Be honest.
    in Drinking mass protein before bedtime Comment by silverstormborn October 2015
  • Hi, I'm 5ft 1 & 84lbs. 2 weeks ago I joined myfitnesspal & in the first 2 weeks I've been gaining weight {for the first time in a very very long time} I know just how frustrating it is to want to gain weight, & I want to gain weight so desperately that I'm rushing... But it's all finally catching up to me. After 2 weeks…
    in help gaining weight. add friends. Comment by silverstormborn October 2015
  • You're so inspiring!!... To go from 88lbs - 102lbs had to have taken you time & commitment { This is currently where I want to be }. You've already made it this far... Keep doing what you're doing & there is absolutely no doubt you can make it to 117lbs. Congratulations on your success so far!
    in Need encouraging friends & GF Gain Tips Comment by silverstormborn October 2015
  • I weigh roughly the same as you, OP {84lbs, 5 ft 1-2} with my goal weight being 98lbs. {- my daily goal according to fitnesspal by the way is 1,830 calories & 92 protein, with good results!} I'm frustrated by my dietitian {she refuses to talk numbers} but I've got to say, what your nutritionist is advising you would only…
