hang in there. I know that its hard,but you can get through this.

I wish only the best for you Bliss. Just don't give up!

Stay strong, you can do it. It's probably your metabolism being so messed up that it's burning the extra calories a lot quicker than normal. Good luck, I'm thinkin of ya.

Aw Hang In There!

Yeah Your Body Needs A LOT Especially When You're Underweight, I Guess You're Not Well [Cold & stuff] So Your Body Needs Loads To Make Yu Better. I'm At A Unit And Whenever We Have To Increase The Meal Plan [Because Yu Keep Needing More 2 Put On Weight As Get Heavier And Allowed To Do More Activities] She Says: "You Do Remember What I Said, People Are Suprised At How Much They Have To Eat To Put On Weight." She Is Scottish And Annoys Me Soo Much!

When I Was Trying To Put On Weight So Didn't Get Sent Anywhere By Parents I Couldn't. Never Knew Would Have To Eat That Much; Specially When Your Mind Tells You Every Little Thing Will Add A Load To Your Weight!!

tell me about it.

I've just totalled my cals for the day and it's about 50 more than I had yesterday. I'm now terrified for the morning when I step on the scale!!! I HATE this so much! I just feel like crying!

(Oh, by the way. I don't have a cold or anything. Although I'm dizzy because my blood pressure is low and I'm cold all the time...maybe that's why?)

It is really difficult. Mad World is right though. We need to get out of the mindset that every little calorie will put a lot of weight on. Instead, try to think about how much better you'll feel if you treat yourself well. No more feeling cold, no more low blood pressure, no more fuzzy thinking (or concentration problems). Find that respect for yourself and treat yourself well by eating healthy.

lots of love,

Keep on trying to do your best, but if by Easter you are still losing weight, it will probably be for the best to go IP. I admitt it's no fun but it can be a lifesaver or at least get you started with recovery. So just accept whatever happens and don't panic. This alone might make you lose weight.

Hi hon, yes hang in there, but remember also that you say you need a support system if......my therapist asked me the other day if my ultimate goal isn't exactly that, that I want to depend om myself? I had a long thought and it is actually, change needs to happen within, just think about it, I am still struggling but maybe you can find truth there

I have similar problems. I have anorexia and a high metabolism, double whammy! Sometimes when you eat a lot more than your body is used to it can go into "thermogenesis" and try to burn off the food because it doesn't know what to do with it. It can take a long time, or just a few weeks. Try to hang in there and not be discouraged. XO
