Let me first start off by saying that you are not alone. There are plenty of males out there with some sort of eating disorder.  I only say this because it was hard for me to seek help when I realized that I had a problem... Anyways, I too am battling this beast of anorexia. I am 21 years old, 5'5 and currently weigh 125lbs, at my worst I weighed 105lbs.  I too had a breif scare which started my recovery.

But to your question. I am no medical professional so this is just strictly advice from a regular joe point of view.  GIVE YOUR WEIGHT GAIN TIME.  Mine seemed to take for every too, then in one week I went up 14lbs. Make sure you are getting enough good fats and protein in your diet.  Try nuts like almonds pistachios etc. Also peanut butter is your friend. I eat a ton of it all the time. I love the stuff. As for the chocolate, I don't really like the taste of plain chocolate, I know I'm some kind of freak, but I sometimes mix it into a protein shake or on a PB sandwich.  That is another thing, I found it hard to increase my calories and not feel bloated all the time so I started buying whey protein mix and mixing it with milk.

This is just some suggestions of what I ate to gain, but in all give it time and DO NOT GIVE UP. Strive to be healthy again. Good luck and if you need anything just message me.  The best thing we can could is help each other out. Recovery can be a long road and I know I still have far to travel.

1. It could be your fast metobalism, if you have one that is (:

2. Do you exercise at all? I actually started losing weight when I "tried to recover by myself" even though I was eating 3 meals a day + 2 snacks inbetween. And I ate EXTREMELY slowly. Like, an hour+ to finish about 3/4 cup of rice and sides. My parents were not happy. =/ But then I exercised like crazy... well, it wasn't even THAT crazy. Maybe not to me. I used to do 20+ sets of 40 pushups anytime I felt uneasy, which was about every half hour? And I didn't get a lot of sleep because at the time I was working on a yearlong english research paper (8th grade) but yeah...

I was hospitalized too, during spring break of my 8th grade year? It was NOT fun... really painful actually because my blood was so thick or dry and the vessels were very thin, so the doctors had so much trouble drawing my blood. I hope you gain weight soon. At least you didn't get your ED during your growth spurt. I'm quite scared I'll be 5'2" forever.
