what happens if i gain 20 pounds in 2 months?

nothing different from gaining 20pounds in 5 months? just quicker results so i can go on with my life?

i'm just so frusturated. i've been trying to gain since september and i only got up from 84 to a now 88 pounds.......... or was it 86 to 88... yeah...

i want to exercise..... i KNOW it would motivate me to eat more + feel safer about gaining but i'm not allowed (ithink or atleast ive heard)

nobody believes i'm truly trying to gain....... but i WANT to gain so i can do sports again. i REALLY AWNT to just be at healthy weight again so i can play sports and fit into my clothes...

i just want to do it healthily and try not to gain too much fat.. iw ant that athletic build once again (which i lost to toomuch running + not enough food)

i wasntt rying to lose in the first place.... i actually got scared wheni dropped my first few pounds... but i just didnt know how to eat but i loved running too much... you know?

now i know mroe about muscles + calories andiwant to strengthtrain but now i'm not allowed? what? aualirj urgg

I think you should be careful of stretch marks. If you weight gain too rapidly, that can cause stretch marks even if you aren't overweight.

2 lbs a week seems to be the agreed upon maximum amount of weight you should gain. That means, to gain 20 lbs, it would take 10 weeks or 2 and a half months. The reason this is the case is that the body can only put on so much muscle at once. For someone doing a lot of weight training, it is difficult to gain more than 1 lb of solid muscle in a week. If you go at it too fast, you're more likely to put on a disproportionate amount of fat. If you go slowly, then you're giving your body the chance to build the muscle it needs.

Even if you gain weight rapidly, it will eventually be distributed to where it needs to go (muscle, curves, etc). In an inpatient setting, the goal is usually 2-3 pounds every 5 days or so. I've heard of people gaining 35 pounds in 6 weeks in recovery from E.D. It all depends on your methods and what you/your treatment team feel is best. When you are severely underweight, a slow start is best so it doesn't send your body into total shock. But as you get healthier, most professionals say its okay to push a bit more as long as you aren't making yourself crazy or sick.

Trust me, I highly doubt you can really do it.  In ED recovery we tend to imagine we can eat 5000 calories and gain weight incredible fast, but when it comes to actually doing it, it's almost impossible.  Don't worry about that point until [and if!] it comes, because most likely that worrying is just another roadblock to keeping you from making even slower progress.  Far more likely is the risk that you will have more weeks, months, years of life as a slave to ED--better to risk going "too fast" than risk never getting your life back!

eat as much as you want, ignore the scale's speed

i gained my 30+pound in under a month! yays!

im slowly evening out, i first noticed the fat distributing to my shoulders etc.

yes, i have what i believe are stretch marks on the insides of my legs, thats all, and i wouldn't call that 'bad'.

a) no oe EVER sees it

b) does the ppearance of my skin mean that much to me as a person, no 

you'll be fine if you just do it healthily.

in inpatient i was forced to gain from around 70lbs to 92 pounds in abut 8 weeks and no marks or anything it was just uncomfortable but its okay now. goodluck
