that's how i was counting it, but there are some websites that state that they're 130 per 100 grams, so i'm quite confused.

I turn 20 this year. I've been struggling with this for a long time. I HAVE tried getting professional help, but as I've been saying since my posts in May, there aren't many professionals who specialize in eating disorders where I'm from. There's literally NO ONE I can ask help from. I was hoping someone online who has…

I think I maintain well on 1400-1600 calories a day, but I'm currently eating 800-1000 on weekdays and 1800+ on weekends.

I have and unfortunately, every time I do, I get told the same things. "Sit through your thoughts", "ride the wave", and "eat more". I did try eating more and it seemed to work for a while, but then I ended up binging after two weeks on 1600-1800 calories. So I panicked and lowered my intake again, because if eating more…

I admit, I have. But not for weight loss reasons. I find that the more I eat, the more I want to eat - hence, triggering a binge. I've heard that upping my calories might help stop the binges, but I don't trust myself enough to actually try it. What if I never stop binging? There aren't many mental health professionals…

I am seeing a dietician AND a therapist. I admit, I've not exactly been following my meal plan of 2000 calories, mainly because the more I eat, the more likely I am to binge. My therapist taught me several techniques on fighting binge urges, but my urges are too strong, I can't even control my thoughts long enough to do…

I eat around 1200-1400 calories a day and a bit more on weekends. I'm sure it's not due to my periods though. Plus, I'm not someone who avoids carbs. In fact (and though a lot of people might think this 'unhealthy'), all my meals have carbs in them.

I understand! I'm not underweight, my BMI is around 19 and I'm not trying to lose weight either. I'm just looking to maintain my weight but I'm finding it really hard because every time I eat a "maintenance" amount, I end up gaining. Is it possible for water weight to last more than a few days?

Sent you a message!

I'm so sorry for asking so many questions, my english is awful and I'm having some trouble understanding what you're saying. Haha oh gosh. I'm sorry. So basically, if one square (55 grams) of uncooked noodles is 200 calories.. when I cook it, it's still 200 calories, right? If 100 grams of vermicelli is around 400…

So that one serving of 55 grams is definitely just 200 calories? :\

There's literally not one ED specialist in the country I'm from. That's the problem. Thanks for the link though! I'll check it out.

PS. Does therapy really help in combating this? Therapy is so expensive, I can't afford to see my therapist all the time. At most, I see her twice a month.

I think the whole eating slowly concept is silly. If you eat fast and you're satisfied, that's all that matters. Calories are calories no matter how slow or quickly you consume them.

My biggest worry/fear was that it could be a psychological/emotional thing. Because this only started happening to me once I started restricting my intake again. My entire day/life/world revolves around food. How much I'm going to eat... whether I should eat... if I'm going to binge today. It's so tiring. I'm doing so…

Oh but I'm no longer underweight. I just came off a weight gain meal plan and have been trying to maintain a BMI of 19-20 for a while. I know what you mean though.. but I only feel safe eating when I'm at my pre-binge weight and anything above it makes me want to restrict. I don't know why the weight's not going back to…

Well, I mean anorexia.

Thank you! I hope you're doing well in your recovery, by the way! I know I'm setting myself up for trouble by restricting to compensate for the binge but I don't know if I'll be able to eat normally until my weight goes back to normal. I was okay with eating 1800+ calories when I was maintaining my pre-binge weight but now…

It's been about 4 days since my binge and I'm still 2 1/2 pounds above my pre-binge weight. I'm so afraid to eat more, I've been restricting my intake to about 1000 calories and I'm tempted to go lower, but I know doing that will only bite me in the butt later on by triggering another binge. I just want to go back to my…

I know, I'm sorry. I'm currently recovering from a restrictive eating disorder and haven't been following my meal plan because of my binges (I guess I'm stuck in this binge-restrict cycle to avoid weight gain). I'm either restricting or overeating. I don't know how to eat "normally". I'm worried if I don't restrict, the…

Did you eat or exercise any differently after the binge? I am not allowed to do a lot of exercise yet, so I can only do about 30 minutes of mild cardio, Monday til Friday. I'm so scared to eat above 1200 calories because I'm sure I gained at least a pound as well.

I needed to gain 3 more kilos, but I'm still not ready to do that. I wanted to get comfortable with eating according to my meal plan first before initiating any weight gain but I binged and messed it all up. Being at my pre-binge weight made it easier for me to face my fears and eat more when I wanted to (eg: on weekends),…

Thank you all so much. I guess the general idea is to start following my meal plan and upping my intake during the weekdays.( I'm not a big snack/treats person, actually. I like eating bigger meals and lesser snacks). I did a stupid thing and weighed myself last night before bed. I don't know why I did it, I guess I was…

Yes!!! I'm trying my best to do that but I'm still learning what normal eating even is. Some say 2000, some say 2000 is too much, stick to 1500... I don't even know. :(

Thank you so much for this. Really.

I'm 1.63 cm (5"4?) and pre-binge, I was 52.5 kgs and I haven't weighed myself since Friday's binge, and I probably won't until next week. I'm not allowed to do too much exercise, so all I do is 30 minutes on the stationary bike about five times a week, medium-ish intensity. I don't really allow myself treats because I…

I've still not been able to bring myself to follow my 2100-calorie meal plan every day and only follow it on weekends. On weekdays, I have around 1300-1600 calories. I'm just scared because my binges, although they've been becoming less frequent, have been increasing in the amount of calories. Last week I had 7000…

...you want an eating disorder just because you can't wait to a few extra months to lose weight the healthy way? And I can't believe you call having an eating disorder "the easy way" to lose weight... I...
