Parents decided rapid gain needed when already physically healthy and discharged

I'm in a shit spot. Controlling parents read 1 paper and decided I need to be my pre-ed weight . I'm currently well within the healthy weight range btw

They've decided I need to get there ASAP. No idea why. All health indicators, apart from my cycle are fine.

My tdee (medically tested ) is concerningly low. And im inactive due to disability.

To do this, they are forcing me to eat almost double my maintenance at at home minimum (they're tracking. For me that's already <. And that would be without me eating any food between 8am and 4pm.

My question is - if I'm already in such a large surplus,how harmful is it for me to intermittent fasting between those hours? Particularly for trying to regain my cycle

. A surplus of this much is obviously good in UW people but I'm not. I'm also a high body fat % and it'll push it significantly higher and I'll just hate my body even more than I already do.

Also my parents will not budge on this. Don't even suggest discussion. I feel fucking hopeless. No we don't have a medical team, and no I can't get one.

How important are meal timings actually? In a shit spot.

I'm in a shit spot. Controlling parents read 1 paper and decided I need to be bmi 21. (Currently 48kg 158cm).

They've decided I need to get there ASAP. No idea why. All health indicators, apart from my cycle are fine.

My tdee (medically tested ) is 1150. And im inactive due to disability. Also over 30% body fat

To do this, they are forcing me to eat 2000cals at home minimum (they're tracking. For me that's already +1kg in 9days. And that would be without me eating any food between 8am and 4pm.

My question is - if I'm already in such a large surplus, is it ok for me to intermittent fasting between 8 and 4. A surplus of 950cal is basically never medically advised..

Also my parents will not budge on this. Don't even suggest discussion. I feel fucking hopeless. No we don't have a medical team, and no I can't get one.

I'm struggling. Please pray.

Every moment my head screams that I'm fat. Or I am about to get fat if I'm to get my period back. My body screams it still isn't safe, reserving it's own functions.

No one told me recovery is harder than an ED at times. I am objectively Normal (bmi 19) but look like a balloon.

I don't know why God did this, but I hope he has a good reason. It's been 2 years and I haven't found it

Recovery after weight restoration feels harder than my ED

I do not want to go back, but ts is rough

Every second my head screams that I'm fat, or I will get fat if I'm to regain my cycle. Yet my body screams that it still isn't safe. I'm objectively very average, though I don't look it. Still gaining fast on low intake.

I'm so exhausted and scared. help.

I feel hopeless. Help

I feel hopeless. Help.

Tw: this post probably is fatphobic. I honestly don't give shit about how other look but when it comes to myself I'm an absolute a-hole apologies

I really to recover. I want to be able to eat cake spontaneously. I want my cycle back, but I'm just terrified of being " fat".

I'm already >! bmi 19 (47.5kg, 158cm) ,!< Though I look way higher thanks to shitty weight distribution atm. I'm medically a high body fat % ( over 30). Can't even run a mile, do a pull up and only about 15 push ups. I am already very unfit. I'm still gaining weight fast >! about 500g+ a week t despite only eating 1.8-2k cals. !<

I just have this overwhelming sense of dread in going to need to become overweight if I recover or get my period back. I really want it back, but I also know how unhappy I was at a higher weight

I haven't had my period in 22 months, and there's no sign of it coming soon. I gained (>!10kg in 6 months !< with weight restoration and have been bobbing up and down ever since and it never came. I feel like my body won't trust me because of how inconsistent I've been since

I just want this all to be over and to be a kid again :(

Had mucus but it disappeared - have I fucked it?

Context: lost period oct 24 die to restriction but no activity.

I had mucus and discharge oct-november last year at 49kg. It disappeared in December and has never came back. I did drop to 46kg at time (158cm), but am back up to my old weight and no return..

I'm just so scared my body won't trust me anymore. Like I've had my chance and I've blown it. It won't be helped by the fact I skipped eating at school for 4-5months as well (though still ate decently overall). I'm scared I'll need to be a higher weight than I should

Just feeling so depressed and hopeless. :(

I've been recovering for 2 years and I've never even been close. When the fuck will I actually recover :(

Niche but interesting persuasive essay topics?

Hi! I'm student studying higher English preparing my persuasive essay folio - it's a 1.2-1?3k word persuasive piece. i was going to do an essay on the downsides of changing extreme longevity but am struggling with statistics and the structure of it, so want new Idea's. I'm looking for something unique that other won't do but with a decent bit of info out there.

For context, I'm 16F from Scotland. I'd be interested in something disability, medicince, or just nything really. I'm into football and have suffered from an ED previously and considerd an essay on those but thought they'd be overdone.

Currently I'm think of doing one on the underfunding of disability sport. I participate myself and have a few vague connections to people at , so that could help, but idk if that's too common. No American politics please ;)

I ate my favourite pre-ed meal for the first time in 2 years - it was amazing!!

Had cantonese sweet and sour chicken with noodles for lunch today (iykyk). It was incredible because that was my favorite meal ever as a child and I hadn't allowed myself it even though I've been recovering for over 1.5years. I even ate some of my brothers as well.

I am now over my daily calories (even though I'm gaining atm I still kinda have a "limit" ) so am just not tracking for the rest of the day because why not. Still having dinner dessert and evening snack.

This is just a message to eat foods you are scared of or that society seems as "unhealthy". Also you can do this even once you are weight-restored or a healthy weight ( I am).

Sending love 💕

Chinese or Japanese + what should I have?

In recovery with a bit of decision paralysis and can't decide. Whichever has most comment by 12 I'll get.

Chinese would be chicken and Sweetcorn soup, then chicken chow mein with Sweet and sour sauce.

Japanese would be tuna maki, salmon avocado rolls, and 2 big bowls of miso soup with tofu.

How to feel ok receiving into larger body and weight redistribution?

Realizing I'll need to go to a higher bmi than near the edge, like Right now all the weight is on my stomach, and I'm a middle-low healthy bmi But you wouldn't tell that. My chest and ass are still flat tho.

I just feel so alone and invalid and I'm still gaining loads of weight eating just over the average recommended intake for everyone and unhealthy stuff too. Because my metabolism is shot and idk when it's gonna end. Or when my weight will redistribute. I also gave kinda low muscle mass but I can't work out bc of location.

Does anyone have any tips or advice?
