I'm kind of copying the oh so popular topic found in the food forum. This is different, though: for teens! I think it's pretty interesting to see what we teenagers eat, and this will kind of give the chance for teens to see what other healthy foods they can add to their diet.. I sure know that my diet needs improvement XD
Oh, and the same rules as the one in the other forum applies.. especially do not post if you are not eating enough. Nobody wants to see it, and you're only hurting yourself in the long run; believe me, I found out the hard way.

I am trying to lose, like 10 more pounds (I'm 127 right now, I want to be around 115-120, I'm 5'4) but I'm also recovering from bulimia, so I have to take it reaallly slow. Also, I'm a bit of a compulsive exerciser, so my cals have to be pretty high most of the time since thats one habit I'm having trouble getting rid of.
Cool, I assumed you were trying to lose weight but I was wondering how you could manage to do that while eating so much. (I don't mean that negatively, I was genuinely curious.) I'm glad to hear you're putting your health first 
Btw, you look great!
thanks! yeah, i do eat quite a bit. lol. I'm just really sick of binge/starve, binge/purge, binge/lax abuse, binge anything really. I'd rather not trigger a relapse by starving. I eat like, 1600-1800 calories a day on average, and do about 40 minutes of cardio four days a week, and an hour of circuit training twice a week. My weight loss is only slow because I screw it up by being bulimic. I think any normal person eating this much and exercising this much could easily lose a pound a week.

Yeah that sounds very reasonable. 1600 is really not a lot of calories especially if you are doing lots of exercise! You may "eat quite a bit" compared to most dieters but objectively speaking the amount you are eating isn't that much. I hope your metabolism gets back in shape soon!
