Everything ED Recovery

Bmi 15,5 anon. Girl, 169 cm. I want and need to gain weight, I'm nervous. How am I going to look with a lot more weight and how am I doing it in a healthy way? I'm feeling bad when I'm eating unhealthy food. Also hard to eat so much -feeling bloated

I've been eating the same things day in and out for pretty much the last few years. When I've tried to add new things back into my diet, they make me feel pretty sick and sometimes I've gotten itchy/a red spot or two afterwards. But these are foods I've never had trouble with before my ED started? Is it possible that my body doesn't know what to do with them because I haven't eaten them in years? Its hard to add new foods because of this ):

Hi, I considered myself in remission for the last year, but lately the ED driven thoughts started creeping in again. For example, I eat something that is generally considered "unhealthy"/has more fats in it, and then it's in the back of my mind for the rest of the day, making me unable to focus properly on studying, hobbies, ect. And even eating such meals makes me anxious, I can't even enjoy them anymore. Any advice? Thank you :)

A good rule of thumb is that the max your body can turn into fat (ie. "real weight") in a day is half a pound. So in two weeks, no matter how many calories have come in, you won't have gained more than 7lbs. Edema is what will be really catching up with you <3

I don't know what to do. There's something that happens me that goes something like this: When I'm at school and I start using my brain to for example analize what the best answer of the question is, I think about the rest of answers I'll have to analize in my life. When that happens, my heart starts bumping faster, I have a sensation of wanting to purge, my hands start sweating. Am I the only one who experiences this?

This is for the anon who asked about reducing her intake because she wasn't hungry for it/short breath/dad didn't restock food quickly enough, etc.. I was in your exact same boat last August. And I did gradually decrease... but then kept going and ended up fully relapsing by the end of the school year. That lowered hunger/difficulty breathing was nervousness/ED in disguise; it only got worse. Please keep it up!! Keep eating. Restock food faster. You deserve it & you NEED it. <3

Dry mouth anon: also I'm like thirsty all the timee, it's frustrating because I drink water but I don't feel satisfied, should I drink more? I feel like I'm drinking enough and I don't like to be full of water because I can't eat after that because of acid reflux :/

does the body positivity movement include naturally thin girls?

(9000 Calories Anon) Wow 10lbs that's really gonna annoy my ED. I think she meant I was killing myself with the amount of sugar, salts, fats, saturated fats. I was consuming a lot. Like dinner alone yesterday was 1kg of cereal, 2 large pizzas from Dominos,3 pints of B&J and Garlic breads etc (darn word count), Anyway the extreme hunger and water retention were what I was worried about and if you say it's safe to eat that amount then I fully trust you! although my heart pain/palpitations scare me

(9000 Calories Anon) I know it's impossible to gain 25kg. I'm also guessing it's water retention but what am I supposed to do about it. When will it disappear? how can I help it along? how much real weight could have I gained from 2 weeks of 9000+? should I try and stop the binges? how long will this EH last? I mentioned it to a nurse the other day and she said that I'm basically killing myself eating that much on one day, let alone for a fortnight. She was so worried and said I should stop.

( Edema anon) I'm sorry I wasn't clear! But yes, it seems like out of blue I got edema. I maintain this weight eating to minimums, however I am an training athlete. Could it be the stress on the body that is causing this, after many years of illness I went gung ho into training? I've asked all my healthcare professionals but they didn't know what was going on , why it was happening xx
