pictures!

I posted pictures because I feel like I have come along really well since i upped my calories a few weeks ago. I don't weight myself, but I am hoping I do look healthier now??

While it's good that you started to make changes for your health, you still have a long way to go in terms of improving both your physical health and outward appearance.

To be honest, you don't look any different on your second picture - still scarily thin.

Please keep going with the weight gain. Good luck!

are you kidding me? i was feeling so optimistic! hah oh well, i guess that gives me a reality check, just gotta keep upping those calories...

the problem is I can't see myself the way other people do, apparently even in pictures too!

Sorry to be the bearer of a balance to your optimism. I know what you mean about a warped perspective. You're probably better off not judging yourself by how you look, but by your caloric intake or weight. Those are much more objective and real things than how you feel that day, or how you compare yourself to a few weeks ago.

It takes time to get out of that mindset, but it's good to hear that you're accepting of reality: the reality being that you're still very dangerously underweight and don't look healthy. Keep trying! Maybe check out the Weight Gain forum for tips.

crazy247, I don't know what clolitaa is doing about.  I think you're starting to show progress.  Keep that optimism up and keep raising your calorie intake.  You are beautiful and you will always be beautiful, so keep upping those calories and you'll feel SO much better about yourself when you see a lively person staring back at you in the mirror, without the boniness.  You will look and feel healthy.  That will be the best part of it all.

Did you gain any weight on the scale?

You look great :) But you've still got a ways to go sweetie. You still look drastically underweight, but not as bad as before so youre definately making progress :D Just keep upping those calories and you'll be nice and healthy and happy and energized!

i have noo idea how much i weigh, i dont want to know because i might freak out and restrict. but thanks for the positive comments :)

i guess it's not so much that i look 100% better but i feel 100% better about myself now that i have energy again.
