I know I may have mentioned this before, and those who were there would remember. I'm still "recovering" from the anorexia bout, and doing pretty well for it. Only problem is, I still can't gain the weight back. It's annoying the heck out of me. I'm not deficient, I'm not unhealthy, and I'm not sick--I'm just too thin. What with all the ads and gimmicks being thrown out to the public to "lose weight" and all that, I may just start acting on my triggers again! :p
I know most people don't have the problem of being unable to gain weight, but can anyone offer any new advice or anecdotes? Friends have suggested I start drinking Ensure or SlimFast as part of my meals, and increasing those meals to four or five a day. Eating more protein, taking more vitamins, heck, eating more pizza--which I've been doing! (salutes Michaelangelo) I try not to go by what the scale says. My friend Beth, who also had anorexia for several years, has been trying to give me pointers. Just eat, calories be damned, and indulge every so often. Easy for her to say--she just went on Depo Provera and has been eating like a horse. Y'know, they say birth control pills can make you gain weight, but they only weight gain I ever saw was a teeny bit of extra plumpiness in my chest area. Liars! ;b The day Beth can no longer stick her entire arm down the side of my pants leg--while I'm in the pants--is the day I know I've gained. But until then, maybe I should get recipies from Mikey's kitchen? :p ~Siren _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
