Weight Gain Constantly catching colds? Apr 09 2009
04:29 (UTC)

I'm at 2,000 cals and working my way up to get to the 3,500 - even though i am gaining on 2,000 and I dont think its mere water weight, but thats what i am suppose to get up to apparently. I have around 30 grams of fat a day, at least?My current weight is, though i am too afraid to look at the scale, is probably around 85-86 at 5ft. While, yes this is still underweight and I should not be surprised that I feel constantly like I am catching a cold when I was 80pds and going off 500cals a day I dont ever recall getting sick so often - and on the few times I was sick, I was never hungry. (sorry for the late reply ><)

On the brightside, there was no swimming today - only a sub and a video that  no one payed attention too :].

Still ate more, though. It gave me a stomache :/, but I DID it.

Now, I must tackle dance, hopefully get through that one.
Only because I haven't gone in two months for hehem -unknown- hehem reasons, and my butt will be getting severely whipped. Crossing fingers its the good teacher.

Hope you are all okay, thank you all for your replies <3

oh. bugger.

another minor problem

I have dance class tomorrow, too.

badbadbad. :/

if 2,500 is sedentary, than im wondering if 4,000 is what i should be having if I have to dance and swim on the same day.
Maybe?
Or more?

lala,

Thank you for your always quick and helpful replies <3

I have thought of bringing it up with the school, however, I would be much more comfortable to not be looked of upon as different, with special treatment, and monitors all around me to make sure I do this, I don't want special treatment or sympathy from my teachers.

While, ED is still in my head, I'm learning to make the adjustment back to the rational part of my brain. I refuse to let swimming to be justification for anything. However, I do know to be extra careful on those days to get more calories in so I don't loose any more weight.

I suppose this may sound stubborn in not wanting to take it up with my school. While my health is important, my mental health is too, and I found that with people constantly watching me (even more then they are now) I get very upset. I have found that telling my parents to let me do this, and not have them calculate every more, just push me back when I need it, I am much more sucessfull.

Does that make sense?
><

Weight Gain I am so scared Jan 08 2009

Oh my, it's strange, I think, that my friends simply gorge themselves happily and it's so easy for them.

Meanwhile, I struggle to push myself to eat 1200 (starting small) and when I do, I just seem to feel worse about myself with ED constantly nagging how when I wake up I gain 10 pounds and just feel so big, etc.

I can't seem to grasp that a body needs 2500min for gaining weight, when for the past 3 years I have drilled into my brain that 900cal is much to high.

I yearn for my concentration back, my focus, and my determination in school. I still get straight A's, but it's been so much harder for me to keep that up then it has ever been.

So far, I had cream of wheat, 3 packs >< (300), some kashi pizza (400), a few handfuls of cereal (120), a few finger dips in pb (90), and pushed myself for a few pieces of reeses pieces (80).

And, I know I still need to have more. I can't help but feel dissapointed with myself for eating so much, I hate you ED. :[

Thank you to everyone <3
I know that I NEED to do this, and if I don't like it, well I will simply need to get over and learn to like it, and hopefully myself too.

As for today, well, I tried. I, unfortunatly, didn't push myself as hard as I wanted.
(I think the nutritionist gave up with exact meals just makes me need to get to x amount of calories with as much fat as possible)
Unforunatly, I haven't been good the past weeks, and went back to lying about what meals I ate, kept skipping lunches, etc.

Today, I had my cereal (2 cups, skim milk - yes, I shouldn't have skim, but since I grew up with it, whenever I have whole milk I get the worst stomache aches ><).
Throughout the day I finally got the courage to nosh on my peanut butter sandwich (4 tbsp. of pb, 2 natures promise whole wheat bread) that I have thrown out since, ever :/.

AND, for dinner, I pushed myself - not my mom bothering me - to have some pizza.

Okay, so not a lot, and not even slightly near what I should be eating - but, I am trying, this is double what I use to eat :/, and I WILL be healthy, I just need to increase day by day.

I've got to do this. I will be healthy. I will have stamina. I will be able to focus. I will get rid of my anxiety. I will be social. I will enjoy my life. I will.

*Don't hate me* I'm not overweight, but I do believe i would look better and feel better about myself if I was able to lose pounds and know how to maintain it in a healthy way rather then unhealthy. I know my current state is unhealthy and thats why I came here but I'm a bit scared of eating double, I'm trying but these habits are proving die hard ect. Plus my mom is overweight and I'm trying all I can so I don't have the same situations shes put herself in, if it works for me I want to help her shes getting quite frustrated =[.

Thanks so much for everybody who answered! I can see that I should try and go up to 1200 but I'm pretty scared I know I may gain weight initially (part of why I'm scared) but eating double my normal just seems to much almost. I'm sure my sense of a lot is off kilter seeing as for me over 650 is a lot for me so I'm still unsure. Any tips?
