Anorexia.. now full blown binge eating??
Hi guys.. Recently i've approached my goal weight and now I'm in the healthy weight range. However, I have been doing a lot of binge eating lately. Sometimes it gets triggered in the morning and I just excessively eat and I don't even notice my hunger signals. Today I've had like 8 pieces of toast with like 3/4 tub of…

Why can't I stop binging (ED recovery)
Hi guys. I am suffering from AN and trying to gain to a healthy BMI.. I think i have about 2-3kg till I am there. However, for the past couple of days I do not understand why I have started to "Binge" again. It's not like I am starving myself anymore... Like, it's not even mid morning yet, and i've already eaten: 2…

How to gain weight - overcome ED on my own ):
Hi everyone. I am 20 years old, 163cm (around 5"4?) and around 41kg (90lbs?) ...My question is exactly that - HOW do I start to gain weight - safely, healthily and perhaps in a way I can cope...

Blender Recommendations - green smoothies, nuts, sauces etc.
If only i could afford a vitamix then everything would be sorted aha. But i was wondering are there are low-end-cheap-ish brands out there that are okay (doesn't need to be perfect) in blending up smoothies with veges, frozen fruit etc? Or how about pulsing beans and stuff to make dips/ sauces? I don't mind having to chop…

Frightened of my hunger/ appetite in ED recovery
Extreme hunger is seriously frightening. Yesterday i did fine, 3 meals, 2 snacks (probs 3000+ calories). Although my mind did frequently jump to chocolate, I managed to push that away... But then today, I don't know what happened. Straight after breakfast (which was like almost 5 asian steamed buns), i ate an ENTIRE BOX OF…

Overeating in ED recovery.. is this normal ):
So.... i ate literally 3 Carman Yoghurt and Almond Museli bars (possibly 200 calories each) and two slices of white bread with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter All fat, all sugar, all carbs.. And i feel like i could eat more. Is this okay? I'm in slight panic mode, even though I know i would need to eat like this in order to…

calorie intake and ed recovery so confused
Ok so im kinda confused. Like they say its normal for young women to be netting 2500-3000 calories a day and especially for a 20yr old 5'4 recovering from anorexia, I should be eating that range too. I'm really active so it's more apparently. I know my body craves the increased food because I'm feeling my hunger signals…

Pros and Cons of logging for ED recovery?
I'm trying to overcome ED But i find that logging my intake just gets me obsessed with meeting calorie requirements - or worse, trying to eat "under" just coz I can. For example, my stupid brain prefers to eat only 700 on some days because even the idea of shooting above 1000 is too "high." At the same time, logging to…

Sitting all day long + calorie deficit = weight gain??
I'm not sure where this post should go but here will do? Haha. With exams looming, I've literally been on my *kitten* studying all day. Even for 9-5vers I guess this is relevant too. But anyhow, I try to eat at a bit of a deficit because I know I'm inactive all day. For example, today I've only eaten a cottage cheese wrap…
