I understand what you guys are saying. Today was a bit crap though, because there was little food in the house (we'd just got back from England yesterday) and I woke up pretty late so not much time to fit in snack and lunch before going into town. Thanks for the nut pics Ellie :) Do you think you could maybe do me a cheddar cheese one? :] Breakfast: Snack: Lunch: Snack: Hershey's Milk Chocolate and Almonds Chocolate Bar (tried it today for the first time, as we were in this shop in town that sells American sweets, sooo good!) Dinner: Dessert: Snack: |

I have reeeeally veiny arms. My knees go purple if they're a bit cold, and my hands and fingers go the colour of stone, with little orangey/red blotches on them. I think that's just bad circulation? Lack of iron? |

I know how you feel - there was a lot of food lying around at christmas, you know, the usual crackers, mince pies, dips crisps chocolates cakes breads cheeses etc, and I stuffed myself silly on most of the days. And I think I've only gained a pound at the most |

Jeez you guys have been busy posting while I've been in England! Well I ate HEAPS on Saturday, more than like the rest of all my family put together haha! I've been really paranoid recently, because I'm finding it hard to see myself as 'anorexic' or 'dangerously underweight' anymore. Stupid bodychecking I suppose >_> But Im not gonna let it affect my eating, being back on here and reading your amazing posts has been some good motivation. Tomorrow we're having the Tomato, Puff Pastry and Feta tart. YUM<3 Oh! And I discovered a love of hummus! And plougman's sandwiches (cheddar, pickle, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, wholemeal bread) <3 Anyone got some portion pics of cheddar cheese though, I'd apreciate it :) I would never be able to do this without you all. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx |

Hi guys, sorry I haven't posted in a while, just not really been in the mood tbh. :[ But I've continued eating lots, and finally we have some fruit and veg in the house lol, so I'm not eating entirely unhealthy anymore ;) Recently, like in the last couple of days, everytime I finish a meal I'm immediately hungry again. Why is that? I've been eating just as much/if not more portions and snacks than usual, with all the festive leftovers lying about, and I don't know why I can't seem to cure my hunger! It's a good feeling though and it leaves me picking at food all day, but it's kinda annoying cos I cant structure my meals properly. Arghhh and I'm addicted to pickle on Jacobs crackers! D: Lala I'm glad you enjoyed the wedding and that's so cool they had loads of vegan food :] I've never really been to a proper wedding :/ There's no point in me trying to track my food anymore, I keep snacking and grazing and I really couldn't keep track of all the stuff I eat in a day, it's just a lot of little things that make up for it I spose, I'm still pretty sure I'm reaching 2500 though. It's just cause it's the holidays and I don't have a proper routine or structure to my day though, I'm sure I'll get back into a more fixed meal plan when I go back to school. How yummy is Lindt Creation 70% Chili btw? It's bloody gorgeous :) |

Guys, I know nutrition is important in recovery, of course we need to be healthy and get the right balance...but I just think sometimes we can look into it TOO much and get obsessed :/ But I just know that with me, it was trying to be overly healthy and nutritious that started my disorder - I would never have started counting calories if I Wasn't trying to be uber healthy and have an uber fat free diet. I know I'm not one to talk, I'm still bad at getting my portions right and stuff. And I SHOULD count, but tbh, I can't be bothered D: I know it sounds lazy, but I want to be NORMAL again, not counting cals all my life. And I know I should keep doing it to some extent because right now I'm gaining not maintaining, but ugh sometimes it's just like why should I have to do this? No-one else around me does! But you're right I suppose, I should try countng more. But everything Lala said is right and I agree with tbh :) And Zeb, I really hope your dream comes true! :D i'm off to glasgow today! Hopefully I'ma ctually going to post my foods at the end of the day, although only in my blog, not on here just in case it's not adequate or whatever. But it WILL be. This is gonna be hard, keeping track of everything I eat :[ |

Tbh, people worry WAY too much about their nutrition. As long as it's reasonably balanced and you're not going to any extremes (TOO much broccoli or TOO much chocoalte) you're fine right? People get so worked up about how many carbs or proteins or fats they're getting...It's probably just cause I'm too stoopid to understand it lol, but I think it's mostly just a waste of time. It's quite EDish even. Obviously it's good to have a reasonable interest in the amount you're taking in, but you can get obsessed. I proper laughed at that one Jem :P Arghh I Can relate to the tights thing. My legs look like ponys too in black tights. I'm wearing some tomorrow to Glasgow. Mainly cause they're the only thick tights I have. And it's meant to be freezing tomorrow. Ichi: I know how you feel, I really don't want my period back! I mean, I want to be healthy but ughh gross periods :[ Mmmmmm it's so good to have Christmas food still lying around the house. THere's only 3 people in my family and we waaay over-bought. There's so many crisps and chocolates and bsicuits lying around to eat. :') |

Jem I just read the comments you posted in my journal, thanks so much for sticking up for me there, you're so damn lovely :) Mmm I love halloumi cheese tbh! And you're right, just cause my mum's eating a piece of toast and dinner everyday it doesn't mean I have to. I ate a nice lunch today (I'll post a pic on my blog later) and she had, get this, nothing. And it didn't affect me at all :'] |

Ugh I have THREE essays to get finished today. I've just finsihed two of them :D But the third one is gonna be hard :/ Anyone ever seen the film Morvern Callar? I've to write an essay on that :/ I want people to start posting foodies again, so I'm gonna post a rough idea of mine at the end of today, cos I think it reaches 2500 :) Zeb - yeah, I don;t think I could manage just cause I don't find enough time in the day to eat haha! I live in a family where eatings not really a priority - we never have fixed meal times or anything it's really disorganised lol. Ihope you befriend dark chocolate, she's a very lovely person :) Jeans make me look like a starved 8 year old :[ But its often too cold to wear tights and a skirt/shorts :[ Mashed - I wanna try PB & J oats :]] Lala - good luck with teh shoppign crowds :) Lady - your food looks perfectly yummy and nutritious in my opinion! and i could proper do with trying those vegemite tofu burgers they sound awesome. And we can do Strongbow at NEw year! I[m going to a freinds' party and I will be drinking Strongbow too :D Oh and you should try bagels for breakfast! They are sooo good :) Especially with cream cheese...or jam...or peanut butter...or nutella ;) Slr - im so sorry about your hair honey :( Mine is falling out too :(but well done on the foods :D

Okieeee hun, shoot for 3000! Seriously, what have you got to lose? Just go for it! I know you're maybe worried about gaining too fast/too much but it's all ****. The faster we gain the better right? Well, to a certain extent obv. ngemma: I know, you're right. My perception is fxcked. I've realised that a lot recently. It's funny how recovery is such an eye opener in general. I need to fit my cals in during the day. There's no point me keeping saying that and not doing it though, so I'm definately going to do it this time. Do you think all this fatty food and cals I'm consuming right now is just being fed to my organs? Cos I don't think I'm gaining rapidly like I thought I would from so much food... OH yeah congrats on yer period hun :-) Lala: mm yeah, I have avocado body butter I think, it's nice :) Even though I'm not an avocado fan lol. Bananas are also ace, mash up a mouldy banana and put the pulp on your face. It's good for you, even if it smells gross! Ooh and my brother got a packet of that colourful pasta for his christmas lol. I don't particularly like it but i'll still eat it if i have to i spose. My brother is like a pasta ADDICT. I spose broccoli is okay if it's seasoned with spices or something, or maybe cooked in soy suace. Oooh I really want the I <3 Chips tshirt. I actually hate chips (as in the french fries) but meh it's still cool :] Zeb: wish I could be as healthy as you.. . recovery has made me eat unhealthy lol, I got a spot >:[ Prolly the chocolate :/ But I can get rid of spots I spose :-) Weight gain is the priority! I just wish I could do it from healthy foods as well as you can! I admire it! Rebel: yeah, youre right. It didnt really feel like a "binge". I ate a similar amount tonight and it didn't feel like that either. It's just like nourishment. Yummy nourishment! Anorexia is a big fxckface tbh. And yeah, no-one posts their eats anymore :( I would but it's too confusing what I eat, as I don't plan it out, plus i'm scared it could be triggering or whatever - i myself am guilty of constantly comparing my eating :(
Eeeee I feel ALIVE tonight. I feel so much clearer in my mind. What I WANT. What I want from LIFE and RECOVERY. I want to be healthy, I want to be able to exercise and enjoy it, i want to be able to eat normally... I want to be able to maintain my old weight, have full, sexy blonde hair again ;) I want BOOBS. I Want to go to a gig and have enough energy to dance about. I want to be remembered as MARIA not MARIA THE ANOREXIC ONE. I want people to stop talking behind my back. i want my friends and family to not have to answer concerned nosy questions all the time. Most of all I want HAPPINESS :-) I think this is all the sugar and food talking, it's gone to my head. But in a good way. Ugh stupid sticky-out veins >:[ I want to be able to have late nights and not be absolutely exhausted and drained in the morning. I Want to be able to eat intuitively again. Hell, I just want a friggin boyfriend and a friggin ASS. I want to be able to wear skinny jeans again. I have so many pairs that don't fit me </3 God it feels weird to be able to THINK better again! : D |

I'm 15, and haven't had my period since June. But I never had very regular periods before that - in fact, I'd not get them for like 5 weeks, then get ones that lasted forever. But they were always really light as well. (TMI sorry!) But I know that I've always been what you could call 'naturally underweight' like I worked out that I was slightly underweight according to my BMI even when I was eating perfectly normally, and eating tons of normal fatty stuff. I don't know how dangerous that is...Or whether it varies depending on how old you are? I don't particularly want kids, but I want to be healthy again, that's for sure :) |

Lol, EW BROCCOLI :[ With avocado, it's defo not ED, I've always hated it, I dunno, I think it's the smell...it's just weird. It's not a fruit is it? It's not really a vegetable. It's like in between >:[ Hahaaaa it's like a ff but not in an ED way :P And pasta? I can never tell...Sometimes I like it, but only wholewheat, and only when it's smothered with something to cover the taste. Like feta or tomato, (there's a good recipe on that blog you and Mashed made me actually!) but I could never eat plain pasta again lol. Thanks so much for the advice on chocolate everyone. I suppose I just needed reassurance last night. I just need to fill up my cals during the day more so I'm not binging at night. It's kinda difficult when I go out though. NO it's not Maria, you could easily buy stuff intown...But I feel guilty spending money on stuff when I go out when there's so much food in the house. So I can TAKE that food with me. Ugh I have so many stupid excuses >< I am so freaking proud of you all btw! I'm so glad we all had awesome Christmasses :) let's hope New Year willbe as calorie dense :P Even if it WILL be made up of alcoholic calories *coff coff* |

That sounds similar to what my anorexia was/started as - and I lost 2 and a half stone in the space of about a month and a half. It's not healthy. i'm not the one to ask on how much you should gain, what's a healthy weight etc but there are lots of helpful people on here that will know. You should start by refeeding yourself with high cal, low density foods like dried fruit, nuts, peanut btuter etc. You need to restore your hunger and stuff too, so eat regularly in small amounts. Mechanical eating it's called. Eat even if you're not hungry, okay? :) Good luck xxx |

gibbit - aw, I hope you enjoyed your Christmas dspite all the food troubles:( i wish familys and food were simpler lol :) i wish i could get a boyfriend too :/ im just too gaunt and scrawny and unattractive for boys right now i guess =[ this should be classed as a "binge" because it's SO much chocolate, but the thing is, idont feel guilty from it really because i know it's doing me good and every time i want another biscuit im like "you WANT to be healthy and look normal again dont you?" so I just take one. And ive had far too many and i feel a bit sick but im in the mood to go eat a bunch of crisps too. Its like the munchies lol. And NO i have not been smoking pot! spose i wish it was healthy stuff lying around to snack on at christmas time, but tbh I hate avocados and pasta :/ but i do need to try make up my daily cals from healthier sources. I hate the fact everyone bought me so much chocolate for chrismtas. It;s not fair, i felt so insulted lol. Im not kidding like ALL my pressies were chocolate sept for the ones from my close family D:
