My eating habits are messed up. I either totally binge (or maybe this is a normal amount?), or I starve. I don't seem to be able to eat normally.

I know I have a problem that isn't what this thread is about. I just want to know how to get myself eating normally again? It's starting to not only mess me up mentally, but also physically. MY immune system doesn't seem to be doing anything anymore, my periods are irregular and I feel ill when I "binge". Even if it's not that much (I don't think).

As you can see i'm pretty confused about a normal amount to eat.
What is a normal amount to eat? :/

normal ammount is 2000 calories. And when i was in hospital they started me off to 1800 and then built up to 2500 (because i needed to gain).

Before i went into hospital i was eating 500 cals a day. And i weigh the same amount as i did before hospital on a balance diet with sensible exercise. So fear of gaining keep this in mind.

Also when you binge or feel like binging, drink loads of drinks to feel the urge. I personally have a cup of tea. And i always keep away from the kitchen.
Keep your self busy and write in your diary or ring a friend (always here if you need).

and eating and feeing guilty, just remember...you need food to live and be your self. With out food you are nothing. :( And you want to have a life with guys and friends, you will loose all of this if you don't eat <3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
