Everyone says you should your extreme hunger, but I’m so scared to. I don’t feel like I deserve it.

How long does extreme hunger typically last ?

Rant + need advice

I am a teenage girl in high school trying to recover from ha and anorexia, and oh my god NO ONE EVER eats !! I’m always so self-conscious when I’m eating and surveying what other people are (which is usually nothing). I feel agitated (I’m not sure if that’s the right word) when I see people not eating or I notice them not eating the typical amount they usually do. I can never keep my eyes on my own plate and it’s exhausting. All I can think about is how fat I look compared to them, even if they’re bigger than me. Like, I was sitting at a lunch table, and my friend left for a few minutes to greet her boyfriend, leaving me with these two guys. All I could think is a fat I look with my recovery meal, and how they were thinking I was too. To make it worse, one of these guys is infamous in my friend circle for cheating on his (ex) girlfriend with a very skinny girl, while proceeding fat-shame said ex, fuelling her disordered eating. Maybe I should add I also have a history with extreme social anxiety and selective mutism, so I already have a huge fear of judgement, and it worsens with my ED thoughts .

Anyway, WHY does no one eat ?!

Alsooo, I need school lunch meal ideas really badly !! I would appreciate any suggestions a lot !!!

Hello ! I am 15, and haven’t gotten my period in around 8 months. I’m certain it is due to under fuelling since I’ve struggled harshly with an eating disorder for the past almost year + disordered behaviours almost my whole life.

I am 147cm or 4’10, and was wondering how many calories I should be eating (I’ll try not to worry about calories eaten, but this is worrying me and I’d like reassurance). I’ve seen in HA recovery you should be eating 2200-2700kcal, but since I’m shorter with a maintenance of 1366 (I’m in a healthy weight range), would this be lowered ? More of around 1600-2000 ?
