Depends on how active you are and how much you already eat but I would say absolutely no lower than 1800 cals. Make sure you are getting enough protein!
Nooo. It’s only because I am sick. It’s hard for me to chew and swallow solid foods!
breakfast- applesauce, tea w/ honey
lunch- pb&j sandwich, some banana, tea w/ honey x 10
dinner- chicken noodle soup, tea w/ honey
snack- applesauce, like 4 cookies, tea w/ honey
Really hope these antibiotics kick in so I wake up tomorrow feeling better!
For your butt you can do bridges and lunges (and their variations). As for slimming your thighs…running longer distance can help lean them out also a healthy diet!
Ended my night yesterday with a large chocolate water ice from rita’s. Ugh I never wanted it to end.
One slice of toast with pb, one egg and another slice of toast.
It literally took me 40 minutes to eat this because of how bad my throat hurts. The struggle
I don’t really know how I found out. I guess I kind of was in denial for a while and then suddenly realized I had a problem. My mom was really supportive in the beginning. She got my sister and I a therapist and a nutritionist but then she became a little too over baring. Always shoving food in my face and stuff. I know it was just out of love but very annoying! The rest of my family didn’t really say anything. Sometimes they would make comments about working out too much or things like that but yeah..
Our bodies work in mysterious way. Even though you a gallon of ice cream last night, are you eating substantial meals throughout the day? Are you exercising? There could be many reasons for this, so much as water weight. But just keep going and in your recovery and don’t focus on the weight. Try not to weigh yourself because it’s not helping you!!
Don’t focus on gaining or losing weight. Regardless, you need to heal your body! You’ve put it through so much! It needs rest. So absolutely stop all exercising and eat. I haven’t dealt with bingeing and I don’t have much knowledge about it but I suggest trying to eat smaller meals throughout the day and DEFINITELY eat breakfast! This way you won’t feel as hungry. Also don’t deny yourself anything. Recovery is about eating ALL types of foods. So in order to truly recover you must overcome fear foods! You can do it!
Sometimes I notice my mind wandering towards food and calories and my body and I think have I really recovered? And then I remember the constant battle between myself about food and clothes that I use to have. I would punch my stomach because I was so angry that I had just eaten something. I would cry when I tried on clothes and would just end up wearing soccer shorts and a tee shirt because that was the only thing I felt comfortable in. I would sneakily dump the whole milk my mom use to buy down the drain and say I drank it. i would pat the butter off my veggies with a napkin at the dinner table. I planned my social life around exercising and wouldn’t have a cheat meal unless it was planned. I use to bring my own food to others people houses. The list goes on but the point is that I have come so far in my recovery. I just need to remind myself sometimes! I haven’t cried about my body in MONTHS. I haven’t restricted, I haven’t patted butter off my veggies. IT IS POSSIBLE TO OVERCOME THIS. Don’t give up!

I did one scoop chocolate protein powder, milk (not sure how much, maybe 1/2c?), cocoa powder, puddng mix, ice, and peanut butter! It was so delicious!
You can’t just eat and expect it to go away (like taking alcohol from an alcoholic). Recovery from an eating disorder is constant temptation. Like a recovering alcoholic stuck in a bar, we are always surrounded by food. We have to teach ourselves to eat again, and that temptation to over or under eat is constant and there is nothing we can do about it because without food (unlike alcohol or drugs) we would die. It’s like the very thing that we are addicted to is our only medicine.
Note to self
- It’s okay to eat
- A big breakfast doesn’t mean skipping lunch
- Eating fast food for once won’t kill you
- You didn’t gain 30lbs today
- Dinner is necessary
- Calories aren’t evil; they’re fuel
- Keep breathing no matter what

for lunch I made a chocolate peanut butter smoothie it was the best thing I’ve ever tasted. I can’t wait for my popsicles later! Woohoo!
because my throat is really hurting and plus I just bought popsicle molds the other day!
I did four chocolate..which I just blended milk, cocoa powder, coffee, sweetener, vanilla extract, and chocolate syrup.
I did the other four blueberry…frozen blueberries, water, and vanilla yogurt.
I am too excited to try them!
