 I am lucky i did not develop a eating disorder and that i am smart and want to be healthy. But it is really annoying it has ruined my veiw of what women are supposed to look like ruined it..thankfully i look up to alot of women with muscle and jillian micheals is gorgeous and she has muscle.

think of marilyn manroe without curves, isn't it wrong?~erica

Umm you don't have to be stupid to develop an ED. It's a disease not an IQ rating

you could:

make a veg sandwich/wrap night before

if fish eating vegetarian, tuna + salad is very easy to put together

make a bean/pasta salad or rice/noodles with veggies and separate into containers

soups are always good if you have a thermos, plenty of healthy/veg recipes around

hope those help, school canteens suck

I'm pretty certain that I range between small/medium frame, so 22 still seems a little excessive- as aiming that little bit higher seems like it will motivate me to lose weight in the future, rather than getting to a weight I feel comfortable (and healthy at) then maintaining around there. Hopefully doctors look more at the other measurements of health though like heart rate, and my situation won't call for quite that high.

Confusing 

Hey belacqua, I'm in the same situation and find myself doing the exact same thing! You know in your head it's ok to eat this stuff, but it feels wrong just standing in the pantry while no one's looking and eating like a maniac. I find the best way to deal with this is to take the food you want away from the kitchen and eat it on a plate, sitting down, like a meal. You still get the calories you need to gain but mentally its not quite so exhausting. 

I'm not sure about you but I think the reason I 'binge eat' is because I still don't eat enough calorie dense foods during the day, and have to catch up later at night, so maybe increasing your set meals will help?

good luck! xo

I know exactly what you mean, but it's nothing huge to worry about: the doctors I've seen say bingeing when your trying to gain weight is normal, the natural "I'm full feeling" is taken over because your body is desperately trying to get healthy again (basically you're stomach's satisfied and full, but your body isn't yet). They say that once you're at a healthy weight again this won't happen because it's no longer needed, and it will be much easier to stick to normal eating patterns. But it's still scary! My heart races too and I get really hot. Gaining isn't all the fun I thought it would be

That's ok! Thanks for your advice, I'm definitely going to work on my diet to make it as well rounded as possible and keep my mind more open to fluctuating weight

I'm 17 with bmi of 19 and same deal!

if the curves ever come, fabulous, but hey in the mean time check out cameron diaz's no-waist figure and it makes you feel much better about your lack of beyonce-ne

thanks everybody, I think I've finally found a nice balance now

good luck to everyone!

being left handed is basically the best. sure certain kitchen implements and cutting cloth (argh it just never works) give us a rough time, but only around 10% of the world is kooky handed, so hooray!
