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?????

To have the energy to follow up my loud and bolshie mouth with actions

Off topic, but Theo- OMG you're so pretty!! :)

I want to gain flexibilty and freedome in my life. I want food to be something I need to live, not something I live for. I want to forget about calories, fat grams, and protein. I want to get rid of the numbers in my head, and the rigidity that keeps them there.

I want to be the best athlete that I can possibly be. I want to be a strong dancer and a strong runner again. I want to achieve new athletic accelades. I want to be able to fully dedicate myself to sports again. I want a slim, fit, and healthy body. I want tons of muscle and tons of happiness.

Most importantly, I want to gain a life without ED. I want to go out with friends absent of the social fears. I want to have relationships. I want to be satisfied with myself. I want to make mistakes and accept them, I want to achieve greatness and show pride towards it. I want to recover.

I'm new to this site and I love it - finally people who understand how hard it is to gain weight.  I've lost huge amounts of weight due to fear of vomitting which stops me eating.  I want to get this phobia under contol and regain my beuatiful legs,  my bum and boobs, to be able to wear a bikini and look sexy not like death on legs.  I wan to be able to eat without fear and to enjoy food again instead of seeing it as the enemy.

Great to meet you all

*I wish to wake up and just smile. No food thoughts, no exercise thoughts, no guilt thoughts.. just smile.

*I wish for my curves..

*I wish for the strength to trust my body.. and know my body. And LOVE my body.

*I wish to go out with my friends and not be checking my watch to make sure it hasn't been longer than three hours since i ate something.

*I wish to DRINK that damn Gin & Tonic!

*I wish for me to see me, as i see people. Not for appearence, size, shape or otherwise.

*I wish for my hair to grow back thick, black and full.

*I wish to be strong enough to go to work(currently on sickness leave)

*I wish to not be glared at whilst shopping/anywhere alone.

*I wish to spend quality time with my two nephews again.. and not think 'how can they eat that.. and just not care?'

*I wish to take my mum out for lunch once a week to gossip over stupid things.

*I wish for this christmas (always a traditional big brunch/lunch/dinner feast) to be just about laughing, fun, smiles and all that mushy stuff.

*I wish to have the muscle mass back to get tattooed again!!

*I WISH FOR MY BOOBS BACK.

*I wish to be able to have the confidence.. and the respect i once had for myself back.. cheeky smiles and glint in the eye.

*I wish to give you guys all the biggest bear hugs imaginable.. all the way from Australia xxx

Big hugs from Texas!

Imagine us all going out for a feast together.
That would be a flippin' dream!!
Imagine the laughter and jokes ... damn being in Australia!

Eeee that would be so cool :)
but what restaurant would we go to :P

i wish to gain myself (and my self- respect and self- love) back

This topic hits home especially today with:

-To be able to enter a new situation without being horridly self conscious...and leave a group not immediately wondering what they will start whispering about "omg that girl is skeletal" and so on. 

Some things I wish to gain would be:

1. A healthier out look on food

2. More curvs and at least 6 pounds!! When I was 98 pounds I had such a nice body (I'm 91 right now)

3. I want my boyfriend to look at me and smile, not worry about if I'm eating

4. I want my parents to stop threatning me with "the doctors" when I talk about food

5. I want my stamina back, I got the stomach flu a week ago and was horrid for days

6. I want to be able to eat with my friends and not be made fun of for my choices (rather make their choices)

7. I want to be a normal teenager again

8. I want to stop worring about if I'm killing myself or not (16.7 bmi)

9. I want to be able to be over 100 lbs. and be ok with it

10. I want confidence and self estiem

11. I just want to live again

I love who ever started this post, you have no clue how much it helps to write all this down.  This is such a posistive post, lets keep it going!!

Love Eun Chan

Wow, this thread is so inspiring!! I want to gain, confidence, energy, strength, to fit my clothes better, to be able to buy clothes that aren't made for little girls(!!!!), to be able to eat what I want and be carefree, to be wanted by guys:), to not feel sick all the time, to not be cold all the time!

I want to:

• Have energy again so that I can do stuff together with those I care about
• Regain my period so that I'll someday be able to have kids
• Be able to wear clothes that actually fit and that aren't baggy or children's sizes
• To actually feel warm, even during winter
• To be able to eat without thinking about anything other than "yummy, this is good!"
• To have guys look at me ;P
• And get my breasts back! Siiigh... I miss them..

Great thread!

I want:

• to be female...as in, have a period and boobs and curves!
• to be able to eat something "unsafe" without compensating or feeling on edge for the rest of the day
• to stop basing my self worth on numbers
• to know people like me for me, and not just because I'm the skinny girl
• to be able to eat the foods I love without caring about calories
• to be able to be warm...I'm a skier!  It's going to be an uncomfortable winter if I don't gain some weight... 

The ability to walk down the street with my head up.

Being able to cook a meal for my family and actually eat it

Take my mum out for a birthday lunch (May-so ive got some time to progress to this!)

To accept that I am me and that the my path is mine and mine alone. Recovery is different and individual for everyone and different doesnt mean wrong. It means right.
