How many calories do you consume in a day,
what would you consider too little or too
much?

Noooo doing it way! I just got a call
back from the nutritionist at the hospital
and she said that I should be at my max.
Calorie intake now which is 2875 calories
a day! I told her she is crazy and I
don't think I could ever reach that much
even when I do start eating normally. I
told her what my intake was and she got
mad at me and threatened a dietician
meeting with my mom and doctor, which is
dumb, so I dunno either I got to do
something or deal with these dumb meetings
where everyone shares their
dissapointments. Wow...Decisions
decisions!

No alexa I wouldnt reccomend counting em..
It all gets in ur head too much , ur
better off not trying to count.. I try
for 1,800 cals a day.. I normally consume
1,800-2,500.. . And meg.. Eatin that
many cals when trying to recover from an
e/d is normal believe it or not. I went
through the same thing after I got outta
the hospital.. Especially if ur
underweight. But I would try consuming at
least 1,800 then to eat normally and
healthly.. And to keep u out of the swing
of ur e/d.

No, not the only reason. He was the
main reason in the beginning.... But I
mean I dont wanna be stuck there forever.
Its sooo much better if u can leave ur
e/d behind. I havent fully yet of
course.... But its so much better if u
can get better.. U dont feel as
trapped.. Depressed etc. I dont even
believe in gradually increasing.. I
would try that over and over and never get
up high enough.. Basically u just gotta
be strong, bite the bullet,and start
eating a healthy amount. Its very
hard.. But doable. Plus, ive
definitly learned,.. U may stay smaller
while eatin 4-500 cals a day.. But boy
does it do a job on ur metabolism.. So
in the end all it does is make u gain..
U just gotta stop it as soon as u can..
U can seriously do it, even if it doesnt
seem like a reachable goal, it is.
Trying not to count as much can help to.
Or making a meal plan of healthy eating
with good foods so u dont feel as bad.
(with enough cals tho) some days I wanna
eat less.. But I mean I know if I start
restricting again..Bulimia would just be
waitin around the corner....But I
seriously hope u try,its not a way to live
forever!

I hate when my nutritionist tries to tell
me that im supposed to have about 2000
because it seems like such a massive
number and it just discourages me. Right
now i'm at 600 and on a good day about 800
plus exercise....

take off a little bit of weigh. I can
feel by hip bone now!!
