So Happy!! Recovered from Anorexia!!

Ive finally recovered from my anorexia. I dont feel guilty eating and i found out that my maintnance calories are 2000 for my 5'8 108lbs figure..i only gained 8 pounds in a 3 1/2 month period since my body had no fat or anything but now its healthy and well FOOD IS YUMMY HAHA :)

i dont look pale anymore and even though you can still see some of my bones ( a lil of ribs and collarbone) i know for a fact that i am eating exercising (30-45 mins daily) and im happy ^^

i know that i need to gain weight. I was 120 before my anorexia and what contributed to 120 was the fact that i was in karate (blue belt) doing 2 45 min classes everyday.

my mom says i can go back to karate if i weigh 112 pounds so im gonna eat healthy and normal and keep working out to build muscles..I have abs now hehe ^^

calorie-count has really helped me out alot :)

thanks everyoneeeeee

Congratulations!  That is wonderful news.  :)

Congratulations!!!!!! That is absolutely great to hear!!!

Thanks :)

Congrats! *hugs*

hehe i like that thread title better thank you for changing it lolli :)

Congratulations! That is indeed happy news. 

Very happy news in deed.  Congratualtions!!!!

Congrats!! That's wonderful to hear! So happy you're feeling better.

that's awesome! congrats! isn't it so wonderful to be able to eat? good luck with putting weight back on to reach that healthy weight! i'm finding it's harder than it seems to put the weight back on, but you can do it and you'll feel so much better once you're back at a truly healthy weight!

I have suffered from bulimia, I have just about gotten over it, and I am enjoying food so much more then before. So I congratulate you, that is excellent news it really is.

This is excellent news.  Congratulations and a great big hug and pat on the back. 

Yep, 5'8 and 108 lbs is not sexy, so congrats for putting on some muscle! 
Just be sure not to gain too much weight, as I've seen too many anorexic girls in recovery go from slightly to thin to VERY large...

It is heartwarming to see a young lady like yourself achieve such a huge success!  Overcoming anorexia is a gigantic accomplishment and you have the right to be extremely proud of yourself!  Way to Go!

congratulations ......!   I'm truly moved and inspired by your recovery, and was wondering if you have any words of wisdom surrounding guilt free eating?   I'm currently 5'4 and 110 and consuming about 500 calories a day and struggling to allow myself more.  This is the heaviest i've ever been, and  I'm not quite comfortable at this wieght.  Any  insights are appreciated..!!!   Thanks. 

Well Done to you!!  Here's to a happy and healthy summer :)


on a separate note...
Oh my gosh Mez - your poor body.  500 calories a day will send your body into starvation mode and it will cling to everything you have to just function properly.  Believe me.  Contact your local hospital and book and appointment with a nutritionist, they will eb able to give you tons of advice on how to drop pounds whilst eating sensibly and getting the right vitamins etc that your body needs.  Good Luck x
