Personally, I'd find a proper dietician who specialises in EDs. My meal plan doesn't use calories as a guide and I like that :)

Ugh, I'm so bad at having breakfast! I usually have a black coffee or nothing :P Sometimes a cappuccino on a good day! I like avocado on toast for lunch though, that could be a good breakfast :) Maybe with some smoked salmon... yum!

I have enormous stretch marks on my back from growing really fast upwards :P I also have them on my boobs from them getting huge very quickly xP I've never been overweight, stretch marks are natural :) I get self concious about them though, I can't wear a bikini because of the ones on my back (and I don't like my tummy) :P…

This- that's exactly what I did in hardcore restriction phases of my disorder. I really don't like seeing all the assumptions here that just because she has problems, she can't look after her children. It's really disempowering to people with eating disorders and other mental and physical health issues, because we are able…

BLACK COFFEE. I don't know why people seem to not like coffee breath :P

Thanks for the food ideas :) I might have a look at the plans, I really need to increase the variety of food I eat- I basically live off coffee, white bread, and tinned beetroot, with lots of chocolate mug cakes to stop my weight dropping too low xP I'm suuuper picky :P

Well, not short term and starting off overweight :P

It isn't really that much of a focus, it's more helping me stay out of the underweight zone so I can think properly for treatment and university. I'm in New Zealand, my treatment centre is a publicly funded service, so even if I wanted to get a second opinion, I wouldn't because I'd have to pay! My treatment really suits…

Yeah, I think I'm consider resetting my goal... I just get anxious seeing the number :P I'm trying not to count calories anyway, not that it really works out seeing as I already know the calories of everything xD

Nah, that's an old goal that was only really put there to not freak people out by seeing my actual goal :P I'm currently trying to stay over the 20 mark for the most part, because I know it's the best thing I can do for my treatment, career goal, and relationship goals. It just bothers me that there seems to be a double…

I suppose my psychologist would be the best person to ask. I might talk to her about it when I see her friday. It just seems really annoying because I don't have a large frame, and the weight I tend to settle at naturally is BMI 21 (and also terrifying of course). So it's hard to keep within that BMI point difference…

This. Go to your doctor, you don't want to mess around with your heart. When I told my ED specialist that I got heart palpitations and had an abnormal heart beat, she told me that I was a high risk patient until I had been given the all clear by a doctor. Disordered eating patterns CAN effect your heart. This is ESPECIALLY…

I prefer the always/sometimes/treat way of looking at it, and the healthy plate graph idea. Kids don't need to be worrying about the numbers. Calories equate food with fat, and can lead to eating disorders in my opinion. Focus more on getting all the nutrients for growth and health!

Two minute noodles. I eat them straight from the cup :P

I just use plain balsamic vinegar. Very flavoursome and low cal!

It's also better to go a bit over your calories as opposed to under if you have it set at 1200.

When I was little, I was so picky that I only drank milk for like a week. No idea why my mum let me do that, I ended up vomiting all night, and I was put off milk for two years :P

I made my friend eat cake the other day because I'm trying to recover from a restrictive eating disorder and they weren't going to have anything and I was VERY uncomfortable about eating anyway... I was almost in tears (I think I hid it well though). Just another perspective. You can never tell what other people are going…

People don't eat the skin on apples? o_O

Walking is great. So many people in my friend group just walk everywhere they need to go, and they're all fit and healthy (even though they eat a whole pizza for a single meal). If you regularly walk 7 km to get to town and 7 km back, it doesnt even feel like exercise because you're going somewhere you need to go! Plus…

I look up the menu beforehand. I try to get a salad entree, either without dressing or with balsamic. I also save up some calories if I know I'll be eating out.

I prefer body acceptance and positivity to fat acceptance. My reasons for this are that body acceptance covers all body types, and fat acceptance promotes an unhealthy lifestyle in some cases. I support body positivity in combination with a healthy lifestyle- this means we can all be healthy mentally AND physically! :)

I love my Diet Coke because it eases my caffeine withdrawal headaches... :P

Self care, babes. Talk to someone if you can- I talked to my boyfriend on the phone for about half an hour after a binge once, sitting outside on the grass and getting bitten by mosquitoes, but it helped me stop crying and I was able to go to bed and start the next day on a brighter note. Have a bath or paint your nails. I…

Just wanted to say that the pain from having an eating disorder can be/is real too. And lots of people with eating disorders love food, or at least loved it before they got sick! I don't know if you were trying to imply this, but I hate it when people treat eating disorders as a disease that isn't real, or that is just…

I'm on awesome birth control that stops my period :D So I don't care about PMS any more woooooo

Binge eating is why I'm fat. I've never been overweight though

Mmmm, sashimi. It all depends on what you're getting and portion size.

"You're awful to hug, your hipbones stab me" Hugs are my favourite thing ever :(

Tbh I really like that I can see my veins all the way down my arm. I'm pretty translucent, I avoid the outside :P
