I am SO sorry that I have barely posted! I have been super busy lately! On top of my cross country training, I also have tennis training right now because I have a tournament coming up soon with my team. AND I am getting ready in horseback riding for the biggest show of the summer. Oh the joy of being HAPPY when I can actually sit on my butt. However, it has been raining, so yesterday I didn't do ANY exercise, which was nice, and today all I had was tennis, because my cross country trainer is sick and gave us off until this weekend. However, I am still running on the treadmill because I want to keep improving my speed. One of the sad things about ED is seeing how much stamina I lost while being sick. My PR last fall, when this was only beginning, was about 21:00, and now it is about 27:00, and getting better. It is terrible to see that losing the weight actually hurt how well I was doing. Well tennis is the same as always and so is horseback riding, only the running needs to get better :)

Hey spritiser, you look so great!

I was wondering how much you weighed in the first pic and how much in the second?

Me trying to model at about 90 pounds:

15 pounds later at 105 and looking a lot happier and healthier!

I finally had a snack between each meal! Sometimes this is hard for me, because of having breakfast so late, but because I rode my horses after breakfast, it wasn't hard at all!

This friday I have my weigh in and I am super nervous. I have been so active lately, and before this week I hadn't always been making the 3000 calorie mark. If I have lost ANY weight what so ever I am not allowed to go to boarding school! AAHHH. I am just so nervous, I want to eat a whole pint of ice cream!

Katie: I know I love that flavor! I can order whole boxes of them? Wow, I didn't know that. I also really like the chocolate coconut flavor, which tastes like brownie to me. And cashew cookie..mmmmm. I have yet to find peanut butter and jelly flavor. By the way, congrats on eating your PB&J sandwich. You know what is so funny about fear foods? Once you decide to eat them, they are completely not scary anymore. Well, most of the time... Larabars are still scary for me even though I try to eat one every day!

Yeah, addictedwriter, you should definitely up the cals AND the weight, to be healthy.

What do you want to be: This is such a controversial question inside my treatment team. My nutritionist wants to see 120, but my pediatrician is all like, 105 is fine... 103 is fine with her... as long as I am above the 5th percentile in weight, she deems me healthy. 

What were you? 89 pounds

What are you? 105 pounds (well 104.8 according to the last checkup) and 14 1/2 years old

How many calories do you eat? 3000 when sedentary, and 4000 to even maintain when I am active.

3000+

Age: 14

Height: 5'6.5

I am active (cross country training up to 5x a week and I am a competitive horseback rider). But on days that I am active I have to eat 4000 just to maintain! I know this probably isn't normal so I am being checked for hyperthyroidism :( I hope I don't have it and just have a really nice metabolism.

Sorry I didn't post yesterday, I went to a wedding and wasn't back until about 1:00 in the morning.

I am so happy to say that eating went really well! I didn't save up any calories, and the wedding was a buffet; I always suck at those. I think because overweight people always go crazy at buffets, I am just so hesitant to take very much. Also, the vegetarian options (also minus heavy cream or a lot of milk because of my lactose intolerance) was hard to find. Luckily they did have some great things! I will post my meal plan from yesterday now and today's tonight.

B: 2 multigrain waffles with 2 tablespoons Dark Chocolate Dream peanut butter, sandwiches with a banana in between. A honey flavored Chobani with 2 tablespoons flax seed meal.

L: 2 big slices toasted multigrain bread (toasted with a small pat of olive oil!) with a veggie burger.

S: Nutz Over Chocolate Luna Bar

D: 2 spring rolls (deep fried!). A plate with one half filled with mashed potatoes, the other half filled with garden salad smothered in raspberry vinaigrette, and a side bowl of peanuts.

S: Shared a brownie on the ride home. (from a local bakery! I don't know the nutritional info!)

zebulancherry and ziggystardust aka Katie and Karina: I saw the nutritionist today and was talking to her about the things that we have been discussing. She agreed that even on days that we aren't as active, we still need to eat more as muscle burns calories and building muscle burns even more.

Also, in order to get our period back, our body has to completely trust us. We can never be hungry; we should always eat before we get hungry. I need my period back! Otherwise school won't let me into varsity cross country!

I faced such big fear foods today! I had a Cliff bar, which actually made me feel really energized and was super tasty! I also made a dessert (baking) and actually ate a good amount of it. I used to leave out ingredients and hope no one else could tell!

I went on a supermarket raid and got so many things! Most of all new bars! I bought about 10 luna bars; these things are so tasty! I got 1 s'mores, 1 lemon zest, 2 nuts over chocolate, 1 chocolate peppermint, 2 nuts and cranberry, 1 iced oatmeal raisin, and I finally found the peanut butter cookie flavor. I am going to eat it over greek yogurt tomorrow! I also got two new avocados, some more oikos greek yogurt and one chobani, some new rolled oats, and i found quorn chicken nuggets! I like the fillets too, I just am sometimes more in the mood for nuggets.

B: Oats in a Jar!: a PB&CO Cinnamon Raisin Swirl jar with about 2 tablespoons left in it, filled with 3/4 cup oatmeal and 1 tablespoon each raisins, golden raisins, dried blueberries, and dried cherries.

L: Humble Hummus Sandwich (2 slices toasted sunflower seed bread, about 1/2 a cup hummus, tomato slices, and shredded lettuce)

S: Crunchy Peanut Butter Cliff Bar (!!!fear food!!!)

D: Homemade vegan pasta (whole wheat penne, 1/4 of an avocado, tomato, artichoke hearts, onions, tamari, nutritional yeast, garlic, lime juice, arugula, basil, cilantro)

S: Homemade peach, raspberry, blackberry crisp (I BAKED AND I ATE IT! I didn't leave any ingredients out and I took a fair serving, just as much or maybe even more then anyone else in my family!)

Karina and Fiona: Congrats on making good choices! Can I jump in the bandwagon? I know I alway say that while being active we should eat 3000, but I haven't been keeping myself doing that! From today on I will eat 3000 every day!

Ok so today was kind of stressful! We were at a restaurant and I ordered white bean soup, which I thought would be really calorie dense, but it ended up being broth with vegetables and like 5 white beans! And then were were in the car for like 5 hours, and I forgot my snack! So I had to makeup all these calories at dessert. I HATE doing that! Ugh, feels like first day of recovery when I still saved all these calories for the end.

B: 3/4 cup oatmeal topped with chopped up dried apricot and pitted prune, banana, and a tablespoon PB&CO cinnamon raisin swirl peanut butter

L: stupid white bean soup (broth, tomatoes, celery, zuchini, red pepper, white beans) with some brown bread

D: Amy's Brown Rice and Veggies bowl with a quorn chicken patty slices on top with two tablespoons garlic peanut sauce.

S: Banana split: 3 large scoops frozen yogurt topped with walnuts and chocolate bits, and a banana sliced in half (lengthwise) drizzled with melted PB&CO Dark Chocolate Dreams peanut butter
