I exercise every day. Some days it's more intense than others. Today I burned about 500 calories. I was told that my TDEE is around 1,900, and with a deficit of 250 (1,650) I figured it was a good number for modest, slow paced weight loss rather than drastically undereating.

I used to believe I needed more but I found out my TDEE is more around 1,900, and since I'm eating 1,650, I figured I wouldn't have to eat exercise calories back?

It was about two thirds of a small watermelon, and about a pound of cherries (all measured on oz)

Ouch. (I still had a laugh over it)

Awh, someone beat me to it haha

I'm allergic to bees.

Haha it would be healthy if eaten in moderation. Those are just the treat foods I prefer, but I tend to overeat them!

On most days, I eat 1,650 calories but sometimes I'm slightly under. I work out quite a bit (today I burned over 500 calories). I don't think I'm eating too little? Also, I had a good day today. I weighed in this morning at 112 lbs. That's another reason I'm ashamed at what I did tonight. Being 5'5.5" and 112 lbs and…

Peanut butter. Dates. Almond butter. Cashews. Cereal with almond milk and agave syrup. Dark chocolate. Watermelon. Cantaloupe. Lemondrop melon. Grapes. Dates. Cherries. Bananas. Banana and almond butter smoothies. Dates. Almond butter. Watermelon. Dates. All of it now please

There's not really much you can do. A person cannot recover unless they're willing to.

Never forget.

I absolutely love being encouraged onward, maybe even a little too much. It makes up for the fact that people in real life tell me to stop.

I was dating someone for a while; it was during a rather impressionable time for me, and I was dealing with an eating disorder on top of it all. I fell rather hard and eventually he left, but he never told me why. He just cut me out, almost effortlessly. I'll never know the reason why; maybe it was my weight, or my…

Progress :)

Almond butter and jam sandwiches. Cereal. Sweets, especially the homemade kind I make. It's mutiny.

This actually may be the advice I was looking for. So I should up my calories, but still keep a deficit? How large of a deficit should I subtract from my TDEE since I shouldn't have a huge one?

I understand, which is why I am considering upping my caloric intake, hence the topic. But usually if I give into what my body "wants", I end up way over where I should be and thus on the path of weight gain again.

Yes, only 5 lbs.

That's exactly what I typed in, the 5-6 hours of exercise. I always thought that was accurate but now I'm not so sure.

How can I accurately calculate my TDEE?

See, I'm not so sure, I used http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ and entered 5-6 hours of exercise a week.

It's all about small successes. For example, when I was in my eating disorder days, I would fast for a few days a week (0-100 calories), eat very low other days of the week (400-600 calories) and then once/twice a week, I would have a ridiculous binge day that would make me feel…

Yes.

There was this guy that I sort of dated for a little while, and even though I'd fallen hard and I thought he felt the same, he eventually cut me off without another word. Later, I found out that while I was hospitalized for an eating disorder, he was trying to sleep with my best friend. Still hurts.
