What do you wish to gain?

I wanted to start a thread on what you wish to gain on top of weight? I will start!

I wish to gain a better attitude, a stronger body, a healthier lifetsyle, and a positive mindset about my body image!

(Not too mention a new booty!)

Next?????

*I wish to gain trust from my parents

*I wish to be a normal 13-yr-old

* wish to do track and cross-country again

*I wish to not think of food as the enemy

*I wish to be considered normal and not "the anorexic girl"

*I wish to go out with my firends and family and eat a normal meal

*I wish to make food and eat it too

*I wish to give up ANOREXIA

 I wish to be healthy. I am a 64 year old female,5'9, 115 lbs. I have a long ways to go. I lost 40 pounds with a stomach ulcer and I want at least 30 of it back.

I wish to gain my power over my life back.  Having an ED has limited by ability to just go out and have fun with my friends and family.

Original Post by positivelinny:

I want happiness!

 Me too!  And I want less stress.  Not dealing with this crap would eliminate like 85% of all the stress in my life.

Confidence in wearing a short sleeve shirt without someone asking me if I eat.  I wish to gain health and warmth.  I'm too cold all the time.

I'm tired of people saying they wish they didn't have a problem loosing weight like me.  ha I want to gain weight!!

I want to gain 44lb. I want to do it healthily and gradually. I want to walk into a supermarket and not hover by the healthy options sections of the aisle to a sea of odd looks and crumpled noses. I want to be able to enjoy walking again, instead of getting tired and pained and willing myself to just get the journey over with so I can get back to the warmth of my home. I want to be able to go outside and not shiver every time I do. I want to stop feeling tired all the time. I want my life back from numbers, digits and grams. I want to stop thinking of food as a chore and start indulging (sensibly) again. I want to be happy again.

I don't need to gain anymore, but reasons for me to STAY this weight and reasons on why I wanted to gain were

- Sex drive! My poor boyfriend has been suffering from my lack of drive for over a year.

- Traveling again, I want to go back to China, Aussie, you name it!

- Swimming without people gawping at my rake frame

- Being able to buy clothes that fit, and not crying because the person I'm shopping with has said 'perhaps you should try the kids section..'

- Not giving a damn anymore, taking my own advice I seem to be able to shell out to others, that life is to live, not to sit back and watch everyone else.

- having that old carefree, idiotic, happy self I used to be.

- Being able to horse ride again, buy my horse and not double over in pain after, because my bones have been bashed.

- Having a bath, and not feeling the ceramic base hit every bone in my back/butt

- Enjoying mirrors again

- Being able to LOOK in a mirror

- throwing my scales away and ordering a pizza.

- not starving myself to the point where I will binge on anything, even if I hate it and then crying because the scales have shot up half a stoneover night.

- My period (if and when it comes) I want kids damnit!

- there is way more than that, but at the moment, my main ones are the sex drive and hitting the gym to enable me to wear a bikini!

Honestly, I want a big booty.  I want to feel more confident in my clothes.  I want to have a hip for my son to sit on when I carry him, and save my back by not having to lean over to hold him up.  I want to be more womanly.  I want my husband to love my body even more than what he does now.

i am like 4 days new here hi all!, but, i wish to gain,  curves n boobs n a bootie, i am so tired of standing next 2 women and feeling like a child, compared to them body wise.. i want to wear a bathing suit, i want to  be able to go places with out hearing all the comments that make me cry inside.. i want the body to match my attitude.. and gl 2 every one!

i so agree with u spookymom, i am tired of having to buy my clothes from the kid section, people ask me if i am trying to look like a kid instead of a mom.. i always wandered why i stay so cold, long sleeve shirt in the summer, guess i know why now. this was a great topic it has made me feel, well not alone, thank u!

Bumping this topic - I'm officially out of size 0 clothes! Funny, considering 2 years ago I was dying to get into them, now I can buy underwear! poochy belly needs to go, but yay! No more kids section!

Now to bring on the topic of kids to my partner... haha.

Guys. keep it up, you're all here for a reason, and are doing fantastic. :)

I want...

 --> My boobs back! I never really had any in the first place, but I WANT THEM BACK DANGIT!

 --> My bum to come back, as well! Same as above, really :D

 --> My boyfriend to find me physically attractive again. He told me he will never stop loving me in all this, but struggles with finding wax on bones pretty. And I agree with him.

 --> So, to find myself physically attractive again.

 --> To stop thinking about FOOD FOOD FOOD all the time, but!...

 --> ... to truly begin to enjoy food again.

 --> To stop thinking numbers make a person. I am not a number, I am a free man. o:

OOH, another one:
 
 --> I want to be able to go into a clothes shop and try things on again without realising that I either have to shop in the kiddie sections or have things hang off of me! >_<

• I want rid of lanugo :(

• I want to go back to my carefree, wild self :D
• I want to enjoy food without researching all the calories and planning my meals prior to eating them, or worryign about portions
• I want my life back.
• I want to go out and feel good about what Im wearing.
• I want to wake up in the morning and be able to wear what I want, not just thousands of ugly layers

<3

I want to be "sexy yoga chick" instead of my current status as "anorexic yoga chick"

edit: thought of another one:

I want to be able to shave under my arms again 'cause they're all hollowy at the mo and it's getting pretty critical.....!

Omg theo I can totally relate to that D:

It's awful trying to fit a razor between the hollows under my arms :(

haha theo, i almost forgot about that! and my legs worry me too because they got so bony it was kind of difficult. I'm proud to report that my underarms can now be clean shaven!! (unless i just forget or get lazy of course)

Also happy that I was able to lay down in the shower yesterday and it didn't bruise my butt or hip bones.

I"m also hoping I've gained to ability to look sexy in a halloween costume again! I know I'm not quite back to my old sexiness, but perhaps with the right kind of costume and a lot of halloween candy I can manage by next week.

Gibbit: me too! I am going to be in work dressed up in a very skimpy ladybird costume. I hope I can pull it off without looking too fragile.

What I wish to gain:

My DDs back! They seem to be resisting weight gain

My butt to fill my jeans again

Be able to eat when I'm hungry and not when I "should"

Not weigh and measure food/drink

Look forward to going out drinking instead of being afraid of all the alcohol calories

Curves

To be able to challenge the guys at work to strength-related competitions again!

To not count calories, to eat what I want, when I want, to not think so much about food, to not plan, to be carefree, to be strong, to be fertile, to be stress-free...

TO BE BACK TO NORMAL.

• I want to fit into a 0 jeans and it not be too big
• I want to eat my meals and not get a stomach ache afterwards
• To not be so cold even when i have a sweater on
