is anyone else just tired of eating all day every day?  my nutritionist thinks i'm going to have to keep eating at LEAST 2600 cals/day to gain .5 lb - 1 lb./week since my metabolism is so high.  i cant imagine doing this EVERY DAY for at least the next ten weeks.  i'm also still at the place where i know i need to gain weight but i'm still so scared to do so.  i'm trying to remember what i looked like at ten lb. heavier so i can console myself that i actually liked the way i looked then and was still thin and happy.  more than anything though, i just want to wake up and have gained the weight so that i dont have to go through all of the anxiety in the middle.  anyone else feeling like this today?

im not exhausted from eating. i love eating. im just exhausted from the stress of not completely accepting the fact that i have to gain weight. and feeling the heaviness in my stomach.

i'm pretty sure that's basically what you're saying too. ugh, its so frustrating! i dont have a nutritionist, so i don't actually know the exact amount, but i definitely feel your pain!

oh man. all we can do is try to get the calorie dense foods, i guess.

good luck!! lets hope it gets easier :]

go out to a restaurant every day. i've been getting egg white omlettes or grilled chicken, it helps my social life because i go with friends, and it helps get alot of calories in, because for some reason restaurants just have alot of calories.

i could have writein this word for word...... im in the very same place right now... knowing that i need to gain but still having a hard time with it...... eating every hr just to fit the calories in ....... tierd of thinking about food more , because im wanting to get well???

Just sending hugs to you gals ((((((((((())))))))))))))))))

Take it day by day.

Good health, and take care.

I completely understand. I'm so tired of feeling bloated and sick all the time. I have to eat 3000 + daily. I always feel like a balloon and I have to force myself to eat every hour and a half or so even when I feel like nothing more will fit in there. Tums are my new best friends. It's a never ending cycle of eat, feel bloated, maybe take meds, eat as soon as the bloating starts to subside, start again...

I'm also just tired of thinking about it. Between the ed obsessions I have to push back and having to plan 7 or 8 meals a day, that's all I ever have in my head. It's mentally exhausting. I want to have normal thoughts and time to do other things and not feel like I have a 10 lb weight in my abdomen that I have to carry around. I also can't go out with my friends like other people do because I have to schedule everything around my eating, and I eat so often I can't really go anywhere for very long without carrying food around with me.

It's also just getting expensive to feed myself this much!

Just a suggestion- why don't you give Ensure plus or any other food supplements ago? I have 2 a day which takes care of 660 cals like that and then there's a big load off my mind about trying to eat more, what to eat, is it nutritionally balanced etc. These are designed to be able to be meal replacements so they contain all the vitamins and stuff your body needs. They are quite expensive but I get them on prescription from the doctor's. Anyway just a thought....have a good day everyone.

I understand completely!! Just this morning I was trying to make breakfast and figure out how many meats, starches, fats, etc I needed and how much I would need for the day. Ugh.

I have to eat 3300 to maintain. lol

I'm not exhausted, but I am broke.

Just fry everything in a ton of oil. Problem solved.
