petit, geat do see you back! i can defintiley see a change.. your menus lookingp retty scrumptious and calcium enriched! =P

i've worked out that the american KIND bars are called REAL bars in Australia... my favourites the walnut and date. we dont have the sesame and chocolate one but i want it! mmm i like the apricot and coconut one too!

why_meee, good luck for your weigh in, for reassurance the calorie change probably didn't put much of a dent in your weight gain. i used to get anxious too when my sister would make my dinner, but its all about trust now. people aren't cooking just to feed you their cooking for themselves as well, so you should trust that they know what they are doing and want whats right for them as well as yourself. sometimes with eds we can become a tad self centred and forget that other people need food as well.... like i used to tell my sister she couldn't eat MY yoghurt, My avocado, MY bananas.... all silly!

B: Pumpkin and Banana oats ( fresh mashed pumpkin, mashed banana, walnuts, rolled triticale flakes, dried paw paw, butter milk, cinnamon and apple and cranberry granola and maple syrup on top

S: Green smoothie (vanilla milk, stawberries and raspberries, nectarine, spinach) bowl of cocoa bombs

D: lamb chop marinated in chilli, soy and garlic with toasted pita bread, roasted garlic hummus and a salad with cucmber, lettuce, tomato, black beans and lime

S: greek yoghurt with apple and cinnamon crunchola, coconut, blueberries and pecans or chocolate (deciding now... perhaps both)

Adam, i too wish you all the best of luck for recovery! you will get there. like for all of us it has taken time, courage and motivation to get our lives going again. give your body a rest and just calm down and talk with your family. im sure they are worried and want to help you! and hey just cause your an Aussie doesn't mean you don't get good food! im one but i bought the green tea ice-cream the other day. and hey most of our menus are clean because no food is bad and once you start your recoverey you'll realise that too. good luck!

any whoo....

agruskin, im in Australia. i really do suggest you try some of the foods... some may seem weird like deep fried cuttlefish but there are good things too like their biscuits, ever heard of pocky or hello panda... mmm i shall get some soon! I act like im grown up sometimes when im on here but im only fifteen... lol! my work shifts are five and a hlaf hours, mostly but i get a half hour break... unless one time we were so busy i had to eat my dinner and work at the same time... ugh its horrible but until i can be bothered to hand in resumes im stuck.

hmmm fear foods??? well when i go shopping i used to have a horrible compulsion of having to stop in every aisle and look at labels and then return the box to its original place, i figure you probably look at foods too like most people so why don't you just go in a shopping market and pick something up which you know you secretley crave!.... or just experiment with foods... like i never thought brie, turkey, walnuts and strawberries would ever work well in bread but what do you know i have another sandwhich flavour!

teacastles, once again wowza! what an amzing day... really good job on having that extra snack and for informing your friends that full fat has all the flavour! lol low fat cheese and stuff just doesn't cut it! you have great support!

lol.. the oreo dipped in peanutbutter is stolen from the parent trap!

peanutbutter and cheese toasted sandwhiches

hot chocolate with stale white panini dough (the inside not the crust) used to absorb it all

ice-cream with heapings of milo... actually thats not all weird

i'd take a bite of hot chips than sip coke at the same time... or dip the chips in mayo or ice-cream

chip sandwhiches, original chips sandwhiched between 2 slices of bread

milk arrowroot biscuits with butter and 100 and 1000's

and those bread balls where you just eat the inside of the dough... though i still do that quite alot cause when i make sandwhiches i tear out the inside so i can fit more in my sandwhiches and then i just eat the fresh gooey dough!

agruskin, thankyou and only you can know what is right for your body, once you are at a bmi of 20 just stay at maintance and see how you feel. remember 20 is just hitting it... you can go higer and it won't harm you or make you uncomfortable. =O)

Breakfast: Oatmeal: rolled triticale flakes (its like a nuttier and gluier version of oats... maya you might like them), soy milk, canned peaches, chopped up be natural brazillian bar, crumbled biscotti

Snack: Green Smoothie: Buttermilk, banana, dates, peanutbutter, spinach topped with cocoa and corn puffs

Lunch: Bahn Mi (vietnamese roll) with pulled pork (gosh im addicted to pork!)

Snack: Avocado ice-cream with hot cinnamon and cocoa breadcrumbs (the recipie used butter and this is the first time i used butter in ages... yay!) and blueberries

Snack: 2 weetbix with milk, apple, (<--not all in the same hit-->) proscuitto wrapped in paw paw...

(now off to work so thats why i have such random food)

Dinner: Spaghetti with sundried tomato and basil pesto, chicken, extra parmesan and toasted pinenuts

agruskin, my weigh ins not until tomorrow but i'll post... hoping for the best *fingers crossed*

maya, good job on getting those calories. i know its been a real struggle for you but just remeber that you are doing this for yourself and you can't take days off... keep this quote in mind:

'Life is not a dress rehersal. life is the real thing!' just think of your food as nutrients for your body. dont worry about the what if's because so far the only what if's that have kept you from holding onto your ed are the ones that still haven't happend.

eggy, ooooh i have to try grilled avocado now! how did you do it?? didn't it just mush up in the griller. did you grill it with the skin on??? must know! what flavour tofutti did you get... i've been curious about that stuff they look interesting.

teacastles, it was me who brought up that thought. i know its amazing to see peoples reactions. i can never have a pb sandwhich for lunch because i eat it as a snack.... just like i cant eat a smoothie without something else with it... people are amazed by how much i can take in!

by the way.... i am drooling over your menu and your family should be proud that they have a daughter who can make such wondefully sounding meals! avacado, tomato and mango, so simple yet soooo delish... although the granola and waffle defintiley sounds like the highlight of your meals!

zeb, haha you sound just like me .... i've been telling my mum i think i may have a dairy or gluten intollerance and thats why i get sick weekly. my friend has just been diagnosed with both and thats what got me worked up. i just hope i dont because i agree i cant live without dairy but even worse i cant live with out bread! no offence to bakers but every gluten free bread just isn't edible... its like chewing on.... well its not really chewable... =O)

tfournay, its .2 of a kg! its no big deal... literally i was once worked up but .1 of a kg loss! i went from eating 2,500 calories to about 3,000 everyday now and i have managed to gain about 2kgs, its not that hard to eat more ed makes it hard! i miss eating being easy too but you'll get it back once your done gaining. 2,500 is not the only number you can eat at to gain... try 3,000 its not hard just eat more fats! if you have lost your period too the fats will hlep get it back! im 174cm and my goal is 60kg. i think yours will have to be about 66kg to make it reasonable for your height. thats my opinion anyway. good luck!

Last Weeks Weight: 56.7kg

This Weeks Weight: 58.4kg

Goal Weight: 60kg.... whoop 1.5kg to go!

grated zucchini, dark chocolate, ginger, cinnamon and walnuts (like chocolate zucchini loaf)

fresh pureed pumpkin, banana, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, peanutbutter and topped with cranberries (Favourite combo in a green smoothie)

banana and topped with frozen blueberries, yoghurt, maple syrup and toasted coconut

banana, dates, walnuts (makes it like banana bread)

baklava: dried fruits, pistachios and walnuts, cinnamon and rosewater topped with greek yoghurt and honey

and my favourite topping to any hot oatmeal..... ICE-CREAM! gosh it makes it taste like a desert.....

ice-cream tastes really good with the chocolate zucchini one with crumbled biscotti

if you wan apple pie with ice-cream than

chopped apple, cinnamon, walnuts then ice-cream and crumbled cookies!!! .... no need to explain how good it is!

there are endless combinations for your oats.... seriously go frieken crazy! i love oats man!

startowers, OH WOW! seriously what you eat gets me drooling. oreo brownie. deep dish pizza. pork  chops. endless cookies.  mushu pancackes. and the chicken breast with prosciutto sounds the best!!! seriously who's the chef in your house???? you are really doing well if you can eat all those things and nout panic... im all over jelous! good luck with your weigh in!

hphphp62442, i guess most of us come from an ed history so we all have the calorie compulsion of being walking calorie dictionaries. it doesn't take too much effort now to be able to estimate calories.

some things do need measuring, like oats or rice cause you don't want an overload of a food which when cooked tripples in size. i don't tend to measure just take the amount i want and then just estimate, all my calories are rounded to the nearest 50 so usually my guesses will be slightly under or just a bit over. it sucks to know so much but if your worried about counting just think of he food as nutrition and take more than normal serves so when your done gaining it won't be such a struggle for maintance because you'll be eating at a comfortable rate.

waycat, like you said its a climb and Miley Cyrus put it in the best lyrics. their really motiviational for me... i know kinda lame. but seriously their exactly what we all feel in this long journey...

Miley Cyrus-  The climb

I can almost see it
That dream I’m dreaming but
There’s a voice inside my head sayin,
You’ll never reach it,
Every step I’m taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

The struggles I’m facing,
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes they might knock me down but
No I’m not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I’m going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on
