thank you :) Eggs? i do love eggs, but not so much chopped up in my morning bowl of milk :)

Oh, i shall give this a go :) It seems more reliable than the one i used. Feeling very down about having a body fat percentage so high, i'm hoping it's wrong. 

I'm the same. Somedays I manage to pull myself together a bit and then others fall apart again and lose hope of it ever changing. Thank you, that's really kind of you :) 

More ednos. I wouldn't say i had ever had anorexia. there was always parts of my eating disorder that meant i didn't fit into that diagnosis, despite verry low weight. I feel this time it has taken more the form of binge eating, but not the thousands and thousands of calories just the binges on food in a small period of time. the stress i used to feel in terms of gaining weight is back and therefore leads to restricting but of course, then more binges. I have began skipping meals again in the hope it will keep my calories lower, excerising but no as much as i used to. and a pre occupation with measurements, weight and all things to do with food and eating disorders. I don't feel as controlled by it as i used to but the anxiety is back. however i am unsure, is this a relapse or normal behavior for someone under alot of stress?

Okay, really old thread, but today i re did my body fat percentage and now it's up to 26.3% ekkk..*freaking out* what can i do to lower this. i would be happy with 20%. any advice would be great. it says 11.8kg of my weight is fat. It seems ever so unhealthy. any thoughts? 

wicked **** -You do not know me!! do not judge me!! I wasn't speaking to you, i was speaking about you, therefore i do not need your opnion!!! i was replying to the message that the poor girl asked!!! URGhhh there are enough bullies in this world without you!!!! I have seen your posts before your rude, and a bully. I hope your behaviour bites you in the A** later in life!!!

Mumford and sons- i will wait 

The EXACT same thing has happened to be except all 3 girls im living with are on diets. I'm also recovered/ recovering and wanted this year to be fresh start but i'm finding it so hard! 2 of the girls are worst, they knew each other before and are both on diets. they are having tinnny meals and only 2 a day...and drinking tea to fill themselves up. Well like you i have found this super hard and have found myself restricting my intake to the point i'm dizzy and i have heart palplitaions :( i have already lost weight and feeling that comforting feeling of not eating!!! This was NOT supposed to happen!! I'm so ashamed of myself but already finding it hard to snap out of it and feeling back about eating dinner!! So your not alone!! and it's so hard to know what to do :( i wanted it to be so different!!

Thank you iwikiba. as soon as anyone realised you have a history of disordered eating their response is always eat more. :( and like you said you never get the postive side across that 2 years ago i was living of a cup of tea and a biscuit a day. ( i really can't figure out how i survived now if i miss a meal or is an hour or two late i feel queasy)

I actually never ate 2500 or more to gain i gained on 1800ish and have done just great. I was never hungry for more calories and actually eating over a physically comfortable amount made me want to not eat the next day due to the ever so slow digestion and horrid bloating. However thats just my experience others may be different. 

Hey there, 

Ive had a rough time with recovery but in the last few months have really got myself on the right path, i have no idea how many calories i am eating everyday as i don't count but im having

breakfast- alpen porriage 

Lunchs- a sandwhich of some kind on thick granry bread with an apple or a yogurt

dinners - stirfrys/ chicken rice and veg/ homemade pizza ect ect

snacks- NON diet hot chocolate made with milk/ several small chocolate bars (througout the day)/ hot cross bun with butter/ apples/ greek yogurt with granola ( i usually have 3 or 4 snacks a day)

thats just a small range of things of the top of my head that i may consume depending on the day

So thinking about it i must be having around about 1800/2000 ish i should imagine, but like i say i don't count and i don't stop myself from having anything. I would say I am verryy close to recovered! my self image is a million times better and as is my confidence. 

I guess what i'm trying to say is eating enough is no longer a problem, i just wondered what my balance of eating through the day is like. would i be better to have bigger more calorie dense meals or is it okay to have my meals and snack alot?
