I know you're trying to help but it's not that easy for someone with anorexia to change their thinking. Anorexia is defined by disordered thinking, OP can't just wake up one day and decide that she's not going to care about being thin. It's like telling a person with clinical depression to stop feeling sad. And she already…

[/quote] Pay no attention to comments you consider rude, even if they were not meant that way. Take the good parts you find. You are doing the head work and that is definitely the most difficult part. I have dealt with other head issues (not eating disorder) and it as damn hard work, enough to break out in a sweat. You are…

I've been vegan for as long as I can remember. My mom and sister are as well. Veganism came to me before ED.

TDEE isn't very accurate. Mine is suppose to be 2200 but if I eat less then 2500 I loose...

A lot of people recovering from ED go through this. You body is so happy that it is aloud to eat it try's to take as much as possible in case of another famine. I am going through this and feel like all my weight gain had been through binging and I hate it. I've heard the best thing to do is to keep eating normal meals…

ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING!!!! Bread, peanut butter, nuts, fruit, dark chocolate, cereal, protein bars, hummus, guacamole, crackers, ANYTHING!!!! It's not so much the food its the time of day. I always binge at night.

thanks if I still have a full on eating disorder I might as well quit eating again because I'd rather have an ED and be skinny then have an ED and be fat. I go to a support group every week so I feel like that is taking the first step. I find this comment quite rude and offensive and I suppose I should just quit trying.

I'm a recovering anorexic who's been in recovery since March and I've had to eat 3000 cals nearly the entire time! I'd deffs get a second opinion. Also I'm 5'6 and was 98 pounds and gained to 108 really fast as well. Months later I'm still only 113 even tho I'm still eating like crazy!!!

Logically I know I'm not fat but I feel like I am. I've gained over 15 pounds since March!!! I count every calorie I eat. Binges normally happen at night for me and I will eat 1500-2000 cals in a binge. My stomach will hurt so much so I feel like there is no option but to purge... On a binge day I can eat 4000 cals not…

you look great :)

Thanks guys. I just hate binging so much because it makes me feel so fat and I just want to restrict the next day!!! I'll keep trying...

I try. I read, I study, I make bracelets, I clean. The only thing that works is leaving the house. When I work till midnight I have good days because I go to bed as soon as I get home and don't eat after work... Maybe I should start going for walks after dinner or if I feel like I'm going to binge?

I preplan dinner every day! And I'm full after and I just keep eating for some reason! I don't know what to do. The only times I don't binge is when I simply don't have dinner. I can't eat at night without eating everything...

That is somewhat difficult as I'm vegan. And I am still scared of most fats but I will try... And I'm never hungry when I'm binging. I just eat dinner and then never stop eating!!!!

They say restriction isn't the solution but I just don't see any other solution here. I am not getting fat.

I have an ED, I know I need help. And I am getting some already ;)

I always feel this way to. I'm 5'6 114lbs, and I feel like my arms and chest are small but my stomach is huge!!!

I eat 2500-3500 a day and it's soooo much! I'm always eating!I have eaten over 4000 in one day to and I was stuffed! But if I eat any less then 2700ish I loose! I'm also vegan so that could make it harder...

I'm recovering from anorexia and bulimia! You need a large support group...

I always eat right before bed. If I didn't there is no way I'd get enough cals....

I eat back most of my exercise cals. If I don't I start loosing, and my goal is to maintain/gain a couple pounds. I eat 2300 - 3200 cals a day

Thank you everyone. Doc says I'm allowed to stay between 114 - 118 for a bit until I'm more mentally excepting and we will see how things go :)

I keep telling them I feel huge, and they tell me I'm not. That doesn't help if I don't see it! I'll try talking to them some more. And I'm not saying I want to stay at 114 forever, I just want a break. Like maybe I'll feel better about this in a couple months and gain a little more..idk. My coach is my biggest pusher. She…

I burn 400-900 cals a day riding...

They want me to gain a little more but I am already so uncomfortable with myself and having to force myself to eat everything and I scared I'm going to have a breakdown and start loosing... 97 - 114 is a big difference already...

When I first started recovering from ana I binged on so many 'fatty' foods. Your body will try to eat as much of high cal foods as it can for a while in case of another 'famine'. It's totally normal. Once you are eating again for a while your body will realize it and stop. Try to prepare wholesome high calorie meals and it…

I have been recovering from an ED since March and at first I had to eat 3500 cals a day! Some times even 4000. I never meant to I was just soooo hungry. I netted anywhere from 2500 -3500 cals a day. And I only went from 97 pounds - 114 pounds over 5 months and now I'm just a healthy weight. I'm 5'6. Don't be scared. Your…

I've been recovering from an ED since March. I'm 5'6, and was 97 pounds. When I first started eating I binged all the time and I was terrified I was going to get fat! Now it's July and I weigh 114 pounds and I have almost completely stopped binging and gaining (I was small before my ED as well). So don't worry. You won't…

I'm 5'6, 114 pound, body fat 18%-20%, and size 2. I don't want to ever get bigger.

How do I improve that? I ride horses (2-3 a day) which burns a lot of cals and right now I'm eating about 2500 cals a day (netting 1700-1900) and not gaining anymore. So I think I can already eat a lot... too much...
