Sarah asked:


I am recovering from an eating disorder, I am trying to eat around 1200 calories a day. I workout everyday, I have the Bowflex so its mostly weight lifting. I do it for about an hour. Maybe skipping a day here and there. If I workout and burn around 150-200 calories (lifting weights) then do I need to eat another 200 calories during the day, or is that how I will maintain my weight??

Gabe asked:


im tired of it. But i did notice that if im around people i dont eat much at all, or when i do eat i feel fuller alot faster than normal. is there any other way not binge eat? tips or advice please?
Yes i have binge eating disorder along with major depressive disorder with psychotic features.
Also could it just be a oral fixation i have? i found that i was drinking water like crazy whenver im out with people instead of eating.

I had an eating disorder for 8 years and got myself out of it when I was 22 years old. Then, three years later it came back and lasted for two more years. I have gotten myself out of it again, but all I can think about is exercising and food. What is strange is that this time I keep thinking about eating constantly–where as the previous time I would restrict my food. I know I need to gain weight and I have no problems with eating food, but I can’t stop thinking about constantly working out. Will I always be like this or will I be able to find a balance between healthy eat and exercise? I am finally starting to deal with this issue & am seeing a psychologist, but it would be nice to hear from people who have recovered from anorexia. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

I am suffering from bulimia and am looking for a good eating disorder treatment center. My parents and I want the best for me, but we have to find a place that takes blue cross insurance (ppo, or something). So far I have found only one I liked (Casa De Lago), but I don’t know if they take insurance. If anyone knows of a good place your input and advice would be much helpful. Thanks.

dan k asked:


The girl I love is currently depressed and I think she is having a relapse of her eating disorder. I want so badly to help. She is amazing and I want to help her realize it. I know that I need to be there for her and support her but is there anything else I can do or does anyone know of a book that can help me with my problem or should I try talking to a professional therapist to get advice? Please help.

I’m struggling with an eating disorder and I’ve been searching for a good website with advice and support, but so far I can’t find any. Or if anyone reading this can try to talk to me, I would really appreciate it. I talk to my family and friends, but it’s hard to be open with them.
