tessa- thank you for the advice, you are right. today i restricted my snacks and felt AWFUL. i had obsessive food thoughts all day and it was ridiculous. so then i made up for it with my night time snack and i feel much better and decided i just really need to follow my meal plan...weighing less wont make me happier, i just need to find BALANCE.

bsh- i agree with you, thanks for the advice.

jcl76- very reassuring! if only they would let me exercise :/ hah but you are definetely very in shape and i wouldnt feel bad pushing my weight if i looked as good as that. thanks for the insight!

yes, i am in a day program from 12-8pm...i guess it's just really tough to trust my nutritionist because she is nearly obese. and that's not my ED mind, she will even admit she is..and that doesn't make her a bad person, that's not what i am trying to say, it's just she's in charge of my health and yet she doesn't take care of herself?!

i know it's wrong to try and control my weight while i am in recovery, really wrong, and i have talked with them numerous times about this but i dunno, i can't handle going above 115 for some reason and i am already 118 and then they make me drink weight gain shakes and i just want to cry. it sounds soo stupid i know, and it's not my thinking it's my eating disorder talking...i guess deep down i am just hoping i can just get out of this center and lose weight again to what i want to weigh. because at 115 i felt better than ever, and i dont see why we have to keep pushing my weight. ahh so frusterating, mostly with myself.

i made this weight gaining shake yesterday and it was so good, way better than my supplement shake for sure!

it was:

2 scoops of muscle milk protein powder (350)

3 tbsp peanut butter (270)

1/2 banana (60)

1 cup of blueberries (100)

1 tbsp flax oil (120)

1 cup of milk (130)

1 cup of vanilla ice cream (200)

total = 1230 calories

it sounds like a weird combo, but it was really good and a really easy way to get those calories in without eating a lot of foods (:

i wasnt saying i thought those weights were overweight...i was just thinking i needed to be taller to be those weights. right now i am at 118, i think they want me to be 120ish. which i have told my treatment team over and over again that if they make me gain that much i'm probably just going to lose weight when i leave, and i know that is a horrible way of thinking so i am going to try to work towards trusting the process... 

ive heard the thing about the skeleton, i looked at it as someone at their lowest point asking for help in recovery, but i see how that could look bad, so i changed it. thanks for the advice (:
