I can see the weight gain and I can't help but feel upset

I honestly don't know what to do anymore, I have been getting signs that my period will come back soon like I've been getting CM for like 2 and a half weeks consistently, and recently I've been getting more emotional which is always a huge sign for me, and I've been getting more acne, but yet again it feels like it's never going to come back, and I know its probably just bloating but I swear my body looks bigger, not even in just my stomach, like my thighs and my arms and its so frustrating, and I'm literally going on holiday on the 25th so I literally just want to cry sincd I know my mum is going to want to eat out like literally every day so that's mentally stressful for me which will make recovery even more worse because I know being stressed also affects ur period, I just dont know what to do anymore, also literally everyone around me is so much naturally thinner than me so I am just fed up and so insecure I just want to cry, sorry I know this is basically just a huge vent but I just feel so alone and I want to know if anyone else kind of relates to this

Is this amount of weight gain normal?

TW: mentions of weight/ numbers and talk of BMI

I started to go fully into recovery exactly 2 weeks ago today, ( before this I was in quasi-recovery) and at the start of recovery I weighed >!90.4lbs!<, so my bmi was around >!17.1!<, and then after the first week I weighed >!95lbs!<, I was a bit scared when I saw that but remembered that a lot of that was probably water weight, and then when I weighed myself this morning it said >!97lbs!<, I thought I would've still been around >!95!< ish lbs because I thought a lot of the weight from the 1st week was water weight, I dont see how I have been able to gain >!7lbs!< in 2 weeks, and that means my BMI is probably either almost at a healthy BMI or already at a healthy BMI, so I'm starting to feel a little worried as it feels like everything is moving so fast

I know this question is kind of worded weirdly, but I usually started my period near the end of every month, so when I get my period back, should I expect it to start at nearer to the end of the month? Or can it literally just turn up at any point??

I am getting slightly stressed about this, I have PE at school twice per week, but now we're training for sports day, so I have to do stuff like reelay, discus, shot put, high jump, long jump, and a lot of running, so I feel like this might ruin my recovery? I do less steps on days where I have PE so should I be ok??

TW: MENTIONS OF NUMBERS AND WEIGHT

This term really confuses me, because I never know whether people mean it's gaining more weight than what they had before their last period (which for me, my weight I had at my last cycle was 97lbs) or do people mean gaining more weight than what they were before their ED (which for me was 118lbs) so for me, do you think it's realistic for my weight to be at around 100-105lbs when I get my period back? Or for my weight to be more than 118lbs??

I know this is probably a stupid question, but I'm just wondering because I'm short so my TDEE is lower than other peoples, and I'm now trying to lower my steps to 9k a day, also how much weight is normal to gain during the 1st week of going 'all in" recovery? I don't know how many cals I'm eating rn as I am not tracking but its still stressing me out a lot

I know bloating during recovery is normal but the physical pain it's putting me through is really putting me off as well as my brain telling me that it's all fat when it's just mainly bloating from eating, is there a way to make the physical pain less worse or to reduce bloating??

Hii! I know you guys don't know me so you won't know what my lifestyle is like so I know this question can't be answered properly, but if I get an answer it'll make me less stressed. I am a 5'1 14 year old girl and I haven't had my period since the 27th of February, I am not currently on a meal plan and have no one supporting me but here is what I am trying to eat everyday : breakfast: 1-2 tea spoons of peanut butter and then cereal with whole milk (I don't calculate servings or anything as I don't wanna count calories) and then at school for my snack I have these KIND bars (they're these nut bars basically) and I might also now start having a milkshake or apple juice with that, and for Lunch I am now starting to have Tuna sandwiches (2), and my school usually for desert gives us something like a cookie, shortbread, flapjack, and I also have apple juice with that, and for after school I have these salted caramel skinny crunch bars (I don't choose these bc they're low cal, they just taste nice) and for dinner, my mum can never be asked to cook so I usually just have a pizza, or curry, noodles, chips , basically ready meals, I sometimes have bolognese or chilli aswell, if I eat like this consistenly how long should it take for my period to come back? I've only lost it since February so I'm unsure ! Sorry if this sounds sillyy

TW: mentions of weight loss (may talk about BMI)

Hello!! I am kind of scared right now, I dont know what to do, I've not had my period for 2 months. I'm a 14 year old girl and have been struggling with eating since September (but it started to get bad in December) and I haven't had my period since the 27th of February, my current BMI is 17.1 and when I had my period my BMI was around 18.3, what BMI do I have to be to get my period back? And what foods should I eat? And how much calories should I eat? My maintinance is around 1750 and I usually do 10k steps a day, sorry if any of this is triggering, I'm just scared
