Ok, so I think I probably have ED NOS, or eating disorder not otherwise specified because I’m not underweight (13 year old girl, 5 feet tall exactly, and 98-99 pounds, though I usually just say that I’m about 100 pounds), and I have never thrown up or taken diuretics.
I’ve been restricting my calorie intakes for a while, though. Three or so month ago, I was only eating 700-800 calories a day for about a month. I realized that was really unhealthy for me, though, so I increased my calorie intake to 1200-1400 calories a day, and I’ve been eating that much for about a month and a half.
I think my body may still be in "starvation mode," and that my metabolism is still messed up, because a lot of people say teens naturally need more calories because they’re still growing, and I believe that because I haven’t had my period in three months (which is one symptom of anorexia). I want to increase my calories so I don’t gain weight, though; most anorexics trying to recover need to gain weight, but I’m happy with the weight I’m currently at.
So far, I’m planning on eating more calories through healthy foods, like apples. I think apples are really good, because they are high in fiber and have lots of water in them, which will help my digestive system and help me "go to the bathroom." Is this a good tactic? Any other advice on how to eat more to fix my metabolism without gaining TOO MUCH weight?
Also, how long will I take? I know it’s a slow and delicate process, because most people go back to their eating disorder ways after their first "recovery," but I really want to get my metabolism back to normal, and also get my menstrual cycle back; I’m pretty sure I want to have some children in the future, and I don’t want to ruin that oppurtunity because of my stupid decision as a teenager.
