    Hey everyone, I hope you are doing well. So recently I have put on weight by finally eating more to my cravings, and in SUCCESSFULLY coming off laxatives! Now I know weight gain and bloating is a common withdrawal symptom, and also since I've increased my calorie intake, I understand why I have...

    I wish I was joking when I say that I can't even drink water without purging it. Haven't touched a fruit or vegetable in months because I'm scared of the volume. I feel like I've ruined my body and everytime I start drinking or eating, the fluid and food doesn't get excreted but is rather saved...

    I don't know if stubborn is the right word for this. But if I were a healthy weight, it would feel like I'm fulfilling the demands and wishes of my doctor and parents, even though in reality I'm mad asf at everyone. My underweight defines me, I have always been underweighed, and with a healthy...

This isn’t my first admission, but previously my weight hasn’t shot up like that ever and I wasn’t expecting it bc I was high restricting at home. granted, every other time I’ve come in from a medical admission where I’ve done some refeeding and stuff...

    First off, I have atypical AN and am not underweight. I am also an adult, 22 years old. I started daycare treatment at an ed clinic in the middle of November 2023, so almost 3 months ago. Five days a week I'm at the clinic from 8am to 4pm, eating breakfast, snack, lunch, snack. Evenings and...

    Since November, there hasn't been more than two days in a row where I ate my TDEE without purging afterwards or fasting for as long until the weight goes down. Since January, there hasn't been a purge-free day. I only ate once a day and that's also the only time I consumed and fluids. Like, one...
  7. Starting at a higher BMI
    I hate this. So my period is coming and I know the weight I'm gaining is because of water retention (thank you Google) but I can't help feeling like it's erasing my progress. The cravings for salt and chocolate aren't helping either. I'm just so upset because of this and the fat that I can't...

    I feel much puffier than I did yesterday, but this is the WEIRD PART: I asked my dietician about it, and she said that fat/fat cells can hold water. It seems like the gelatinous fat mass has gotten bigger overnight, but I feel like it may be temporary. Has this happened to you? Do you think...

    Hello lovely ladies and gents. I'm tormented and reaching out for support. 🙏 My mind just can't stop thinking about it... If the roles were reversed, I would know exactly what to say however, I'm needing some reassurance...my brain doesn't like itself! Went outside my comfort zone and had a...
  10. Starting at a higher BMI
    Hey all. It's been a while... after all of my ups and downs with an ED, gaining and losing weight, I found myself not only here again, but at my highest weight ever of 250lbs as of this morning. My lowest was 168 for reference and I’m 5’9. I started this journey at 230. Got down to 168 in 2019...
