16yr old boy, trying to fight his anorexia! Tips and advice would be most appreciated?

Hey all, i'm 16 , 6ft 1 and at my lowest weighed 6st 6. Now im 7 stone 8 and trying hard to maintain and gain. Because i've grown used to skipping meals for so long, i know ill find it hard to reintroduce a schedule and plan back into my life. i need to start slow obviously. Today i went a bit indulgent and had a medium deep pan pizza from the hut as well as two big bowls of cereal and other stuff. one day doesnt matter does it? especially after ive starved myself so long?


My main problem is body dismorphic disorder, concerning my legs. i hate thinking that they are fat e.g. my thighs and calves. any tips whats best to keep them slender? (besides from running, which is obvious)





also whats a good and light breakfast for me to have, i dont really like too much stodgy cereal e.t.c.


good light lunch?


and what foods should i be eating to build myself up again :)








also any tips to help me stop thinking / panicking about my legs getting big?16yr old boy, trying to fight his anorexia! Tips and advice would be most appreciated?
Dude everythings gonna be ok,this is a sickness %26amp; not a disease you can over come it!





I think a good light breakfast for you would be a bowl of oatmeal/some fruit/a granola bar/scrambled eggs





A good light lunch could be


A tuna/chicken/egg salad sandwitch with some fruit on the side or maybe a chicken salad with fruit on the side %26amp; a granola bar





Foods that should help build you up are hearty veggies but of course lots of meat! but make sure there lean meats you also need lots of dairy for strong bones so you can try milk/beans/eggs/cheese





Good exercises for your legs of course include walking as you said %26amp; you can also try riding bike %26amp; hiking or rock climbing other things you can do is strech them out alot or lay on your side %26amp; take turns lifting each leg up %26amp; down





Tips on to help you keep things off your mind can vary..just do things you love like maybe you like to write/read or listen to music,you can even go for a stroll or maybe call up a friend ..you can also try by just putting on %26amp; intresting movie or getting on the computer!! basically anything =)





Anyways,Hope I helped!





Ps.Don't give up or lose hope,just bealive you can do it %26amp; you will!16yr old boy, trying to fight his anorexia! Tips and advice would be most appreciated?
hay,first up good one you for recognising you got a problem.


You want have to worry about those legs getting to big just yet. At 6'1'; you can start worrying when you start getting closer to 12 stone. So no need to panic.Leave the slender legs to the girls.


if you do the usual running that's fine but if you add some squats that would work well. I am not talking those squats with big weights but some free squats(with out weight)They are great for shaping. Add weight when you are ready.


Great breaky is eggs on toast. Or if you like milk shakes,make one with a weight gain powder of your choice of flavoue. Add whatever you like.


By all means have greasies once a week,you gotta live.


all the best
Wow thats such a low weight, i'm so glad you're asking for help.


How about follow the diet of someone you spend alot of time with, get back to normality and then you'll understand again what normal portions are like.


Besides cereal for breaky, you could try porridge or fruit? Lunch perhaps a tuna sandwich or something? You probably need to focus on eating more carbs to build yourself up, rather than fats.


Running really is the best way of getting legs thin, though swimming is also pretty good. Buy bigger trousers, so you aren't always reminded of your size!


wish you the best of luck, and hope you get lots of good advice.
all i can is well done ! keep it up and from experience of anoexia when i was better did i indulge on all my favourite yummy things!!!! eat more and more!!! healthy is so great , ur love it!!!!!!!!!!!
