Wasn't my back!!!!!!!!!!!

The doctor checked my pp and I have a high level of ketones. She said I was starving to death. I had to up my calories. My body is eating on it's muscle. I got to drink glucerna and eat peanut butter and eat cheese. Lots of protein. It's my fault. I don't eat like I should. I only eat once a day and keep it under 500 calories. My weight is 105. I am very under weight. I am scary skinny. 6 years out and still struggling. I go to my phych every 2 weeks. I have major issues. I'm trying. Sorry if I made anyone mad.

Hi Amy,

I'm so sorry that you are struggling and I'm glad that you are seeing a psych regularly. I'm also glad that you shared your struggles with us. Sometimes those who have had struggles with getting their weight off never think that they might move to another eating disorder that might swing the pendulum the other direction. I think it raises awareness and  it lets others know that they aren't alone. Please keep working on it and try to increase your intake by at least 100 calories, hold that for a few days and then bump it up another 100. I don't know if that will be fast enough to get you where you need to be in the time frame you need to accelerate your caloric intake. I know that this varies a bit from person to person, based on your metobolism, weight, activity level, etc., but generally they want you to consume about 10 calories per pound you want/need to weigh, so if you want/need to weigh 120 lbs, then you need to build up your calorie count to about 1200 calories a day to get your weight there and keep it there. 

Hang in there!

Thank you.

You know it is easy for people to sit back, point fingers and judge others. Yes you are a tiny(scary tiny) person BUT you KNOW you have a problem (or maybe more) and you are getting help for it.
