goo byb, I completely understand the whole stopping eating thing!  But I think once we are at a healthy weight etc, out body's will follow and they will tell us when we are full and that wwe don't want/need food like that all the time. But I totally keep trying to avoid some certain foods in case I get 'addicted' and can't stop. :S

Hi guys, havn't posted on here in a while, but this is a brilliant thread fidget and I dont think it has to be negative at all.  Maybe it can make us realise truly what our fears are!

I'm also scared of not being able to control my eating and forever gaining.  I was always underweight even before anorexia so I always am slightly nervous about how I will end up.  Like many of you I too am a complete perfectionist!!  Even with ED sometimes I feel the need to do it right but there is no right or wrong way about it.  For me everything in life has to be 'perfect' but what actually is it?

I'm also scared about going to Uni and forgetting to keep checks on myself and being able to afford food etc.  I too fear that people will forget there is anything wrong once I am weight restored and they will expect soo much of me, like if I break down in a restaurant or something they will just think I am completely nuts :(

Guys, I can actually post today...ended up going quite a bit over my cals with a little binge :S

Fortisip suppliment

Breakfast: 30g oats, 100ml alpro soya milk, level tbsp brazil nut butter, 20g flaxseed, 30g orange flavour raisins and 75g Fage 0%

Snack: Huge Pumpkin pancake!! (pumpkin, egg white, shredded wheat, cinnamon) topped with Blueberry jam, and a coffee

Lunch: Homemade wholewheat taco with 4 quorn slices, cottage cheese, avocado, tomatoes, radishes, beetroot and 'Kale chips'

Snack: 1/2 a tub of Ben and Jerries Phish food Frozen yoghurt,  3 huuuge double chocolate chip muffins :S and 2 coffees   I literally couldn't stop eating and made me feel total sick :/

Dinner: Lots of roasted mixed veg with tomato sauce and chicken

Snack: Not sure yet, maybe a pot of Fage 0% with carob powder

I just can't help it when I can't stop eating, and I don't want to get into a binge thing either. Gah, I know the aim is to gain but i feel so sick. Eugh!

 Edit:  Around 2600/2700

Oh my god, liney well done for that Im so pleased you still made your target :D

Emm... brushyourteeth this is a WEIGHT GAIN thread so why on earth are you posting saying you want to lose weight........I seriously hope you have a screw lose, and that diet wouldn't keep a 3 year old going! I have more than that at breakfast lol :S

LW 85

CW 93.4

Wohoo, still gaining, almost hit 10lbs!!!

edit: H 6'6.5''

If you weigh your cereal, they are all pretty much 80 cals for 23grams so there is no need to be scared! You should try granola though it is really good!

If you get alpro soya then this has added calcuim and vitamins in it and you do get a vanilla version, though the original is quite sweet and tasty!

Lineyline i would love to know what you put in your home made bars :)

I'v tried making some already but I still need to experiment a lot more

My lowest was 84lbs and am now about 92.  I used to drink loads but now I don't drink enough tbh for all the food.  DON'T weigh yourself everyday. Thats why it is not an accurate reading. Only do it at once a week. The scales are never accurate anyway I don't think.  Here's what I eat normally:

Am: Fortisip (suppliment) 300

Breakfast: 23g oats, 150ml soya milk, 10g raisins/craisins or dried fruit, medium banana, 25g blueberries, 16g of nuts/nut butter/pb   (375)

Snack:  150ml fat free yoghurt (90), 100 cals of fruit/dried fruit like a peach and 2 dried figs, or 1/2 a mango and 18g raisins etc  (190/200)

Lunch: 2 sliced med bread/ ww pita/ english muffin (150), 100g chicken breast meat/ham (120), 20g houmous/30g avocado/2 tsp canola oil (50), lettuce tomato and 1/2 pepper (20), 62g beetroot (30), about (370)

Snack: tub of Fage 0% greek yoghurt (80), 23g cereal (80), 50g carrot and a dried fig/100g carrot/ 10g  raisins and some carrot or apple etc (40) (200)

Dinner: 120g turkey steak/100g venison/ tin tuna (120), Mixed veg pack from the supermarket (35), another fat (50), 100g sweet potato baked/ 25g pasta or buckwheat etc (100), plus some spinach/onions or some other veggie (15) (315)

Snack: Fage 0%/ 150ml fat free greek yoghurt (80), 8g of some nuts/nut butter/seeds (50), 1/2 a larabar/eat natural bar (some kind of bar anyway) (100-120) about (230)

pm: Fortisip (300)

Calories about 2300

So this gives me ratios of about 55% carbs, 20% fats, 25% protein and I am still upping the fat perentage towards like 25-30%.  I only eat low fat or fat free yoghurt cos I can't stomach the full fat dairys, eugh. I am still gaining on this at the mo, but it won't be long til i'm up to 2500 my dietitian said.  Hope this helps a little as I know it is hard to make meal plans etc :)

orsibabba, I had to go straight up to 2100 first to even gain 1lb which i didnt think was possible either lol. Plus i was maybe eating 300 a day or less and working out like mad! Im on 2300 so far, working up so i shall post my meal plan for you tomorrow since it's late here.

oh my god beanaparker thats really terrible!!  I feel so bad for you and my stomach even hurts just thinking about eating all that. Jeezus!

swapped out a suppliment drink. WOOP! and upped my fats

And guess what...i managed...it didnt hurt me...and i lived to tell the tale lol.

Well done everyone, you are all doing amazing!

I havn't counted as much today...And im having sushi for dinner :P with bulgar wheat (something new)! HA!

Abbi gave some great advice. But yea the more you go up and down with your cals, the longer it will take your body to adjust and not think you are still starving it.  I got water weight when I increased from like 200 to 1900 in a week. Iv just had to up again and I'v been getting water weight and bloating again, euch.  It is very hard but be strong and it will go away, sommetimes it takes a week other times maybe longer depending on how many cals you have upped. you have been amazingly brave to make it this far and just think of the future and what you will be able to achieve without this crappy illness.  If you are struggling and just need some support feel free to message me any time.  :)

sorry to hear that bsh, just eat lots and Lots of yummy food that they can't eat and say ''  *sigh* oh what a drag it is being able to eat WHATEVER I want''

Bet that'll get their goat haha! 

Well done Zeb, I bet your so pleased with yourself, I dam well would be :D  Great job agnes for all the extra munching!!  As for me, I upped my fats again today and didn't measure dinner properly. Wow that felt so much better!

sorry myvalentine, can't post til next week...then I'll be on 2500 cals :) cant wait tho.  Everyone is doing so well it's great!
