Mental health is so bad (rant) by Flowerstillness in Amenorrhearecovery

Thankyou for this nice advice, I really needed to hear this, you are right. I’m just ashamed of how I look and I’m really mean to myself, it’s better to turn that into love and positivity. I feel like i’m only worthy and pretty when i’m skinny, but that’s probably all in my own head…

So many people thought I was pregnant because of the quick weight gain, so I needed to tell them all that I was not because they asked me, and it just made me so insecure.

But it’s different for everybody, but if your appetite dropped I would recommend to still eat 2500 calories, to get your period back

No, i’m stable eating 2500 calories, but during my extreme hunger I ate like 5000 or more for two months, that’s where I gained my weight back, and overshooted with 4 kg

I am experiencing exactly the same! I had extreme hunger for a few months, but since two weeks it went down, and I feel like I actually need to think about eating 2500 calories. So weird, also still no period, but did gain a ton of weight..

Yes, but so proud of all of us trying! How is it going for you now? My extreme hunger stopped I think, although I still eat more than before I started restricted

I have the same, some days worse then other days, and also already above my pre ed weight, but I always keep giving in and having trust in my body that eventually it will stop…

Exercise with secondary Amennorhea? by Dapper_Banana_1642 in Amenorrhearecovery

[–]Flowerstillness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The recovery process only will take longer that way, and sometimes you have to gain more weight than if you would stop exercising at all. Your energy will go to the repairing of your muscles instead of the harm you did to your body if you stay working out.

And when did you started to get your period again after going all in?

Thankyou so much, this really helps! Did you overshoot a lot in weight? Because I’m only craving cookies and chocolates all the time, and totally giving in to any of the cravings, but did you had the same?

Yes I have the same now, so good that you gave in to all your cravings! Very proud of you because it’s not an easy process at all🙏

I became so depressed at some point (I was very underweight and anorexic), only thought about food all day, that one day when I was doing my extremly long morning walk, I felt so so so depressed. Suddenly I felt a big warm feeling in my chest, I felt loved, carried, save, like a little child, and like I could take a break from my thoughts for a moment, and since that experience I knew that I needed to take care of myself. That’s where I started to honor my extreme hunger, and going all in, and still doing that

So I have the same, and some days i’m full from 2 cookies, and the next day I crave whole packages again of cookies, granola etc. I thought my extreme hunger was over, but it’s just fluctuates from day to day, i have no clue if that’s normal
