eat more

I could either eat all day or eat nothing at all for days. It really makes no difference to me. I used to eat a lot but I don’t have much money and I hate cooking so I’d really rather not eat sometimes. But I’m really skinny and I’m trying to gain weight so I’m just going to work out and try to eat as much as I can.

I have an eating disorder and I’m currently in recovery. I’ve only been in recovery for about a month, but I’m doing pretty well. Thankfully my eating disorder wasn’t too severe, but still pretty serious.
I’m 5’8 and about 105 pounds. My lowest weight was 96 just over year ago, but I got better then and went up to 108. Around November I relapsed again and went from 108 to 101, and thankfully I seeked help. I was eating around 500-600 calories at my lowest point, and now I’m up to anywhere from 1200-1600 everyday, which is a huge improvement for me.
Although I don’t always feel like eating, and still wish to look emaciated and “perfect”, I always remind myself that food is good, and safe, and healthy. It’s been my enemy for so long, I’m slowly learning that it’s something I should enjoy and be comfortable with, not fear.
I no longer try to starve myself, count calories over and over again, and weigh myself multiple times a day. I have a long road ahead of me, but I hope that someday I’ll be able to eat 2000 calories a day, and be comfortable with it, and no longer worry about how much I’m eating or what I weigh.
Good luck to everyone else trying to eat more, no matter what their reason, and congratulations to everyone who’s succeeded!

i never thought thin is bad before, but so many people think thin is bad, because people think maybe i thinking too much or no more food to eat. everybody is trying to being fatter. the fatter people are less thinking, more eating.

so i want to eat more and be fatter

I do not have self image issues or anything but I am currently 5’7” and weight 110 lbs. I started taking ritalin two months ago to help with my excessive fatigue and while the drug is doing miracles for my energy, it has completely taken away my appetite. Since starting it in late June, I have lost 15 pounds completely on accident. I have always been thin and healthy, but now I feel so small and weak. I no longer feel hunger and not only am I constantly nauseous, but my gag reflex kicks in when I try to eat. I do not want to switch medications because it took so long to find a medication that really helped me feel less tired. However, I can’t go on losing weight like this because it is affecting my muscle stamina and my memory and focus.
I just bought a bunch of high-calorie high-fat shakes called ensure which my doctor recommended I try. I also got fruit to make smoothies and protein powder which I can add to them. I have all the vitamins my doctor recommended I get. I am first going to try to reach 1200 calories per day (right now I am at about 5-600) and work my way up to 2000.
I know it will be hard because I have gotten so used to not eating anything but I know this is something I need to do for the sake of my health.

Even though most people think I eat a lot, I discovered that I was not eating enough for my body to recover quickly from injuries and intense exercise.
Being impatient to lose excess body fat, I was not eating enough for my optimum health. I love fresh crisp crunchy delicious raw vegetables as snacks and with meals. I enjoy grilled fish, skinless chicken breast and game meat which has almost no fat.
I like this goal. I am really enjoying plenty of food and I have lots of energy.

my diet I plan to be just peanut butter and jelly, i have to save every nickel and dime… pennies too.

I need to eat more… When I get sad, or depressed I don’t eat too good… Dont’ get me wrong, when I DO eat, i eat ALOT, I’m not starving(all the time) it’s just once in a while.

Right now, I’m lonely, I’ve gotten so used to living with my Fiance… and Now she’s gone for a week to visit her family :( I miss her so much… It hurts I alot…

This is a little off topic lol, but I get really sensitive when she leaves… I just want her here with me, I dont’ feel like myself when she is gone…

I can’t sleep…. I can’t think… It’s weird how Attached I am too her… espicially considering how “strong” I am in my “outside” life lol it’s just… I dont’ know… I can’t wait till this Wednesday….

I’m never letting her visit her family by herself again >_<
