I'm just guessing but maybe it is because fruit is quite high in sugar.

For example - Small banana - 12g Medium banana - 14g Large banana - 17g Extra large banana - 19g of sugar (roughly)

However i think this type of sugar if different to the type you should be limiting...

Just guessing so ignore me if i'm wrong... :)

Congratulations on your period (that sound so odd to say...) BUT more importantly WELL DONE for completing your meal plan and ignoring that stupid lying ED!

Your BMI is still dangerously low. While you may have had A period (which i think actually only counts if it lasts the full 'normal' length of a cycle) you are still far from healthy. Honestly do you feel healthy? Do you feel like you did before your ED developed? I highly doubt it.

You ARE gaining for YOUR health. It has nothing to do with the ED so he/she (depending on how you think of it, mine is a he) can go jump. What does it know about being healthy? It is the reason why you became so sick, hardly someone to rely on for information about becoming healthy!

Please remember than if you were in IP treatment there is a chance you could be confined to a wheelchair! It really is that serious!

Your post is NOT stupid or obnoxious, the whole point of this board is to get help when you need it! Can you talk to you mum about this? Maybe ask her to keep a closer eye on you for a little while just while your struggling.

I hope nothing i have said sounds too harsh (but i think this is what is needed ATM some cold hard facts).

Now lets stuff something in that EDs mouth to shut him up... cake anyone ;)

P.s - If you need to talk to someone you can always message me. Its sometimes nice to talk to a stranger and i would be happy to be your stranger :)

No one can really tell or know if your metabolism will ever be what it was again. What i do know is that if you start eating more it will speed up.

Yes when you start eating larger amounts of calories you will start to gain weight rapidly BUT that will slow and you may even start to lose again so will need to up them again.

I have both been at target and even slightly over and at no point would you say i looked fat. Its a common fear of anorexics they will go from super skinny to 'fat' but this WILL NOT HAPPEN!

The only way to test your metabolism is EAT! :) (and enjoy it!!)

Foods that I just can't stand:

• Anything fried. I can't stand the feel of oil on my hands let alone in my mouth! I refuse to wash frying pans where oil has been used.

• Bacon - too oily and greasy
• Pease pudding - Last time i ate this the taste made me want to puke, then i got AWFUL stomach pains which had me doubled in pain and crying. The idea of it makes me feel sick.

Phobia -

• Ryvita - I has 3 of these on my plate once. I ate one, then looked down and to my horror there was a MAGGOT on my ryvita! Poking out of it like a worm! STILL ALIVE! Ugh

As you said, adding everything back all at once will make you feel overwhelmed. Clearly this would not be good for you as it may cause you to restrict :(

Maybe try with the snacks you find easier or you like the most. If you need to try swapping the snack for something of the same cal value but which you have not been able to try yet or you really like.

Good luck!

Hugs K

Er...... Well clearly just do it is the answer BUT I understand how hard it is to do.

Could you try starting with adding one snack today and tomorrow, another on monday and another on Thursday?

Hugs and good luck xx

clemmystar hun,

We both know how lame the HH treatment team is. Do you think they really will help you recover? They dont really seem to know what they are doin in my opinion. 50kg is still underweight for your height. I'm guessing your periods have stopped. One way to know you are helthy is the return of them so maybe this weight would be ok for you (if you were slender before)

Your BMI is really low. You would be in a wheelchair/ bed rest in IP treatment. please stop exercising. I too have/ had an addiction to exercise. On monday i worked out and later that evening i go scary chest pains. I SERIOUSLY thought it was a heart attack! I dont want you to die! who would i go shopping with ;)

Secondly your a teacher. Do you feel you are able to give the children the full attention they need? Are you teaching to you full ability? You said your super busy/ stressed. Do you find you miss meals or are 'not hungry'? This will not help you gain weight and you will find it hard to make yourself eat.

You have made 2 IP appointments? Who canceled them? You or your ED? I know what i said in my message but i guess at the time i hadn't really read this post fully. Now i kinda take some of my comments back. I didnt know how low your BMI is. Your ED will never let you think you are sick enough, just one more pound...

If you stop exercising you will not get fat! When you think about it 1kg = 1 bag of flour. Now dust that flour over you whole body. That bag will finely dust your body - AFTER its done repairing your organs. I too fear i will balloon but deep down i know i wont. WE wont!

You are seriously dangerously underweight and i am actually really worried for you and your health. What i am about to say may sound harsh but i think you need to hear it. Also I really want to go to felixstowe with you and go to the little ice cream shop and us both to have ice creams ;)

P.s How do you feel about drinking calories? maybe smoothies would help as they are less meal like and more drink like :)
