ah i understand! i'm always worried about buying from overseas now since my last experience had me pinged by customs and paying an extra $70! :(

omg, I ususally eat around 1500 calories a day but seriously, but me in front of a tray of brownies and box of donuts and tell me to go to town I will happy eat 7000 calories.

Woah, you are not eating enough calories for your body, even to loose weight. >.<

No wonder you're finally cracking and starving!

Use the tools on this site to figure out how much you should be eating and then up your calories...otherwise you're just going to keep feeling empty. ):

1) oatmeal

2) apples

3) low fat milk

4) chicken

5) dark chocolate

6) chocolate soy ice cream

7) packet soup-in-a-cup

8) coke zero

9) eggs on whole grain toast (whenever i go out for breakfast! :D)

10) potatos

Yup, def. not sedatary if you do 60 minutes walking as a part of daily routine.

I don't know what will work, but I can tell you that won't work. It'll pop back once you eat again. <shrug>

In order to control the calories of the food you get in resturants order anything savory with no cheese, and sauces on the side. It's annoying to ask, but remember that a lot of people do these things...and they should be able to do it. It won't make everything low-cal of course but it will def. reduce the amount by a bit!

Sometimes I hate working out, and sometimes I have fun...the only cardio I really enjoy is the treadmill running so I subbed the cross-trainer and bicycle for longer running sessions + uphill power walking. I figure that it's better to change my programme myself than avoid going to the gym because I hate a certain machine!

I believe that everyone can recover.

I remember how every day I made my food choices, how every day I recorded my weights and goals, quite conscious of what I was doing. I could have chosen not to do all those things just as anyone could.

I'm sorry but I do believe I did it to myself. o.O I am, however, recovered. I don't want to go back there because I don't want to ruin and disrupt the friendships and relationships I have now & that's what an ED does!

The tools on this site are not designed for individuals under 21, so you definitely shouldn't restrict to 1200 or 1250.

Here is a caloric needs calculator that you can use; it isn't designed for dieting, but it will give you an idea of how many calories you should be eating.

Exactly, they're designed for adults (as are BMI recommendations). I don't think you should be dieting so hard at your age! Esp if you don't have a lot to lose. Please don't be stressing your body out more than 1lb a week at least...

Hiya! I've done the recovery stint before. :) I would bulk up your breakfast first, a handful of nuts will add about a 100cal onto your total.

If you want to have a bowl of ice cream at night that's totally cool too, ice cream is made of MILK remember. :P I used a lot of ice cream to up my calories personally...is like my favourite. :) If you want to be healthier you could add fruit to it like frozen blueberriies etc. but generally speaking, there's nothing wrong with it.

Usually a 6" whole wheat, or wrap, turkey with lettuce, tomato, onions, extra pickles & olives and honey mustard dressing. No cheese...I can never taste it anyway!

i used to be addicted to this, oatmeal + cocoa powder with vanilla extract, or almond is also nice. :)

That's one thing about me that never held to my own perception of my own ED. When I was getting thinner and thinner I saw it in the mirror I knew I was thin (maybe not as thin as others saw, but I knew that I was.) it's just I didn't care. It became more like a game to me just to see if I could actually keep losing weight..it was mostly an obsession.

Thanks for sharing the video, but it does not show far enough into the ED world it's a whole lot more then just seeing a bigger image (for some.)

I felt the same way, I saw I was thinner.

If I said I thought I was fat, it was compared to my own goals but I never thought I was a fat person like in the clip...

Mine you, that skinny girl is fake...it's edited, they wouldn't expolit a person who looked like that to make an ad.
