I am in highschool hehe (: i sit all day during school but i cant sit still and when i get home i cant seem to control my urges to be up. I dont particularly excersise but i walk, play with my dog, clean, and im just totally restless. It helps me to hear what other people do for motivation (: Thanks for the options, I LOVE paint by numbers!

Hey Karina! I'm back as well :(

I just got out of renfrew after being dropped because of stupid insurance. I'm doing well on my own but i struggle with using my symptoms :( I need some good ideas for eggs in the morning because i do the same thing all the time! Also, i find myself not switching up my food and allowing myself to get comfortable with many foods. I neeeed help! (: Its hard for me to stick to my startch exchanges since i am a huge protein freak because its the only food group i feel comfortable with. I want to let myself enjoy carbs again! :( Also, i have to make breakfast extremly overwhelming since i cant fit a snack into school. I hate it because after i eat i just think about it all day during school and it makes me want to restrict for lunch which i dont want to do!

Breakfast: 1/2 cup of oatmeal with peaches brown sugar and cinnamon (first time having oatmeal in forever! HUGE CHALLENGE!) 1 light english muffin with turkey Keibalsi canadian bacon and turkey sausage mozzerella cheese and 2 eggs. ketchup for dipping. 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese and 3 tbsp mixed nuts (950 cals)

Lunch: 1 whole wheat pita 1/2 with tuna salad and 1/2 with shrimp salad topped with mozerella cheese lettuce and tomato. Apple with 2 tbsp Natural Peanut butter (550)

Snack Chobani greek yogurt with cinnamon and glazed walnuts. Salmon Burger with Spinach (350)

Dinner: 1 slice sesame ezekial bread with oil and roasted pepper. 4 oz chicken with ricotta spinach spagetti squash and garlic. (370)

going out to a sweet sixteen so chose a light dinner. Planning on eating there and challenging myself!

Snack: W.W Waffles and Icecream with dark chocolate/ almond butter melted ontop (:

Hey ashely - to me, it looks like you've got a pretty good diet going and like you're making enough calories. My only observation is that the only dietary fat you might be getting is from almonds? Unless your cheeses are all full fat? Even then, it seems like you are a bit low. Perhaps try grilling up your chicken and such with a few teaspoons of olive oil? Or drizzling it with salad dressing? Spread some mashed avocado on your sammiches? Or try peanut butter maybe? Other good sources of fat would be a good hummus like Sabra's, or swapping 1/2 your serving of Kashi with some granola? Also, you might want to try using the whole egg, instead of just the whites. Lots of good fats in the yolk you know.

But for nuts: chopped in cereals (hot or cold) mixed with dried fruit, brown rice or bulgur wheat and hummus, in wraps (spinach, almond and cottage cheese! yummy)  in salads, cottage cheese, with baked apples (chopped apple, 2TBS raisins 1TBS coffee creamer, 1TSP each cinnamon, brown sugar in mircrowave.  top with 2TBS walnuts. use as oatmeal topping or eat as dessert with dinner)

If you have a fear of saturated fats, I will tell you this: Saturated fats are NECESSARY for a recovering anorexic. They help rebuild lost brain mass and restore cellular integrity. Much like newborns and toddlers, you are essentially redeveloping your body, and you need the saturated fats for proper restoration.

Hey Rebel! Thanks so much that was great information. I do have a small fear of carbs/ saturated fats but i have come a long way! My cheese is part skim and I try make sure I have large amounts of fat since I want my period but I still have a huge fear of oil. I also enjoy nut butters and did an experiment which was quite delicious! (apples with melted peanut butter all in a pan nice and hot (:) anyways, I am having a hard time with things like high fat granola and such because of oil. I knw its good for you but for some reason I cant adapt myself to it yet. I have tried granola but only low fat :/. Your meals always look delicious (: I have tried the cocunut in greek yogurt and I was in heaven! Thanks so much!

Hey! So excited to post on here (:

Breakfast: 2 Egg white omelet with onions spicy tomatos and avacado. 1 cup of Go Lean Cereal with raspberries and 1/3 cup soy milk. 1/2 cup cottage cheese mixed with vanilla extract and splenda with peaches raspberries strawberries

Snack: 2 slices of sesame Ezekiel bread with one slice of tomato 1/2 cup spinach 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese and 2 oz of chicken all grilled on a grill pan (absolutely delicious!) with 1/2 grapefruit and .5 oz of almonds

Lunch: Tomato Basil tortilla stuffed with green peppers, onions, 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese 3 oz. of chicken and a big roasted pepper on top. .5 oz of Dark Chocolate almonds and a golden delicious apple

Snack: (random!) 3 oz of chicken coated in .5 oz of Dark chocolate almonds and 2 tbsp of coconut. 1/2 cup cottage cheese with blueberries black berries strawberries and raspberries (I love my berries :D) with other .5 serving of almonds roasted in a pan

Dinner: 6 oz of Swai fish topped with spinach tomatoes capers and lemon. 1 whole wheat tortilla in the oven (made like nacho chips) with 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, peppers, onions, spicy tomatoes, and 1 oz of chicken

Snack: Grilled peaches cut in half stuffed with 1/4 cup of cottage cheese flavored with vanilla extract and splenda. 1/2 of one peach topped with .5 serving of vanilla bean almonds toasted and the other half coated with melted almond butter. 1 cup of whole milk mixed with 2 tbsp of vanilla protein powder and vanilla extract.

Yum!

How does it look? I'm alllll new to this just started eating enough for the past 3 days. Any ideas for snacks? I love nuts but hate yogurt and stuff and i find myself always having to eat them plain! There the only fat i feel comfortable with yet so I'm trying to find new ways to eat them. Any input on my meals would be great thanks girls!

Last summer, I was getting severe stomach pain and bloating.  At first I just thought I was imagining the bloat (i have anorexia) but I measured my stomach before & after I had eaten, and It had grown an obscene amount.  At the time, I was seeing a nutritionist who liked to use alternative methods.  First she gave me peppermint oil pills to help with indigestion and acid reflux.  This helped so much.  The only side effect was I would occasionally burp up mint, which wasn't awful or anything, and it went away over time.  To help the bloat, she gave me Zinlori 75( http://www.metagenics.com/products/detail.asp ?pid=225 ).  This helped SOOO much.  It's a special formulation of zinc, so it's all natural and can't hurt you.  I tried over the counter stomach meds (pepto bismal, tums, zantac, etc) and nothing worked either.  You can find these meds at natural health stores I think, or online.  I

Another thing that helped was "digestive yoga", poses I found online to aid digestion/fight bloat.  Some of these have helped me   http://www.helpforibs.com/yoga/poses.asp#pose s

Also, have you tried using a heating pad?  The warmth really makes me feel better.

haha thats funny you mention that website because the night before i posted this i did that exact websites instructions but it didnt really work :/

abbi: ive raised my cals to 1,900 and increasing from there.

Hello! I'm 16--17 this summer--and I just finished 11th grade.

today i had a pancake with portein powder mixed in! i was sooo proud, i havent had pancakes in like foreverrr. it was whole wheat with strawberries pineapple AND CHOCOLATE SYRUP (sugar free but hey its still chocolate!) i was amazed that i had the strength to eat and also enjoy it!

haha i wish i could build the strength to eat pringles! i looooove apples though. with skippy pb (: how did you know it was 130 calss? i cant tell how to calculate the cals of my apples. last night i had a very large one too (: even after a large mothers day FEASTTT

haha im a hugeee carb freak too i can never feel comfortable eating any of them! for some reason the only carbs i will have are a sweet potato (VERY small) or some type of low carb bread. i want to start trying to incorperate more carbs so i can make this weight gain go quicker! my dad got mad at me today because he weighed me and the scale hasnt moved :( soo...

I had roasted vegetables w/....

OIL! haha a ton of it too!

my mom made it and it was delicousssssss.

today i had an english muffin tooo! and i had an entire egg on it (:

i got kinda blosted bc my mom bought the extra fiber ones so it kept me full past snack but at least i got it down (:

thanks guys, today i added my calories on here before my snack and yes ive had 500 or more at each meal (:

ive noticed im in a better mood too.

p.s does anyone like soy milk? i tried it for the first time today and almost died it was so delicious! my first time having anything but water at a meal!

to all of you that have given up on me today...

i used rel oil (:

haha i know i shouldnt be in a good mood since you guys all probably think im not trying to gte better but i really am.

today i had 500 clas at every meal and a glass of light soy milk in between.

i dont know if each meal was 500 but it came close to it. im sorry to frustrate you guys i just like seeking help and ive gone to my doctor who doesnt help as much as you guys. i just thought since i see all of your great inspiring posts on everyone elses pages, that i might get some in return. sorry for upsetting you guys and hopefully my next post will be a good one. i havent even had my snack yet (which is usually my biggest meal of the day) and ive already hit about 1,500 cals for the day.

i kicked ed in the butt today (:

A really great parfait!

i really enjoy cottage cheese with jelly mixed in (good protein) or yogurt on the bottom with nuts and grapes on that layer than strawberry jello than the next layer is strawberries with go lean cereal than whipped cream and sugar free hersheys chocolate syrup...

its sooooo good (: i know it sounds like alot but its great!

EDIT: or you can have frozen whipped cream with sliced bananas and strawberries with some chocolate (sugar free) syrup and vanillla bean almonds (my favorite!) and its like a banana split (:

ashley you wreck my head. you know you cant come on here posting that crap about 900 cals. go to a different site if you're not prepared to make an effort.

and it NOT  okay. dont tell the OP "its ok my sis does the same thing". clearly eating 1100 cals and burning 850 is NOT okay. so you and your sister have a problem i think you should sort independent of this site wher you are CLEARLY promoting starvation behaviour.

im so annoyed at you. you've asked tonnes of questions, and gotten tonnes of sound advice and you have the audacity to come on here and say "oooh im only eating 900". you should be bloody ashamed of yourself.

 i wasnt promoting it i was making her feel like less of on outcast, we all have our struggles, ihave had alot latley with stress of school and death in the family, so you dont know what my situation is. i had no intent of making her think its okay. why would you say such a thing?

up your cals slowly and lessen excersise, im guessing you dont have your period for a low bmi so please up the cals, you want to be healthy right? in addition, every woman looks great with a healthy body. im sure the boney look isnt the most attractive (: please build a good relationship with food, you only have one life to live! instead of excersisng all the time spend time with friends or family and things like that. good luck and email me anytime!
