Eating

Hey everyoneee, so I’ve been in an all-in recovery for a week or two now and it’s been going well. Eating consistently throughout the day definitely increased my hunger compared to when I was calorie banking until dinner time. I’ve honestly just been eating whatever sounds good (like yesterday I had a huge craving for ricotta cheese out of all things) but I am giving in to the cravings or eating something to satisfy me. But now.. especially that it’s summer for me and I’m kind of bed rotting and doing nothing all day.. I can’t tell if I’m eating out of boredom. Like sometimes my mind is just all about eating but idk like I don’t feel hungry whatsoever. All I’m really asking is should I be eating if it’s out of boredom? If that’s the case I feel like I’ll be eating 24/7 which I’m fine with if it’ll help me recover but I’m just wondering like is this harmful?

TW WEIGHT! FINALLY GOT IT BACK AS AN ATHLETE/FORMER ANOREXIC AND AFTER IVE GIVEN UP SO MANY TIMES 🥹🥹

Hi everyone! I’ve left redddit few months ago saying im quitting recovery. Which wasnt entirely true.

Well I’ve gained 18kg (6kg more than before HA and Ana)
and had to eat SO much to get it back, but I’m here! I will say tho-I started exercising after 3-4 proper months of recovery. I stopped working out because of Ana recovery but when I felt like it I started running and gym again. I will post my workouts so you can see recovery while exercising is possible!!

I just want to ask-
Can I do a slow deficit now? Should I wait or can I go into like 300c deficit? Because I’d like to fit into some of my OLD clothes that I don’t fit anymore lol. I’m extremely educated when it comes to nutrition, and I love eating so I prolly won’t lose much, but still, I’ve built some solid muscle.
Posting my stats! Fell free to ask anything 🤍
ALSO I’m in recovery for nearly 6 months (from ha, from Ana almost a year)

Rate my day of eating

For some backstory about me I'm 16, 5'2 female who's recovering from restricting since October 2025, I was VERY and I mean VERY active but limited myself to 1,400 cals in Average. I'm now aiming for 2,000-2,200 since dropping my active level down a bit but I'm still very much walking round a lot (10-16k steps) and doing lighter work at the gym.

Breakfast- 3 Weetabix with semi skimmed milk ~ 350 cals

Lunch- pink lady apple, 25g pistachios, ham sandwich, wafer bar ~ 590 cals

Snack- banana and Coco powder pancakes with a fried egg ~ 380 cals

Was still hungry so I had jam on toast and Nutella on chocolate chip brioche ~ 305 cals

Dinner- Curry (stock image as didn't take a photo but similar portion) ~ 600 cals maybe?

Can someone pls tell me if I'm eating enough/ the right stuff? I'm desperate to get my period back as I haven't had it since January
