weight help?!

Question

so im 20 and 5'1. i weigh 91.2lbs. i found out that my ideal weight should be around 118lbs. i was anorexic then bulimic for a year and a half, and since then i physically cant put weight on no matter how much or what i eat. i've been on various supplements and vitamins and diets from various doctors,but nothing works. does anyone know any ways i can get to a healthy weight??

Answer

I'm in the same boat, and honestly I don't know, I've tried protein bars took me the whole day to even eat half of it, protein shakes yuck; vitamins?  Keep taking them, start calcium supplements too- anorexia is harsh on your bones; iron too, without you'll be pretty fatigued which is one of my biggest issues.  Eat what you can but eat more of it... that's what I'm trying right now like I'm OK with rice and I try to eat a bowl every few hours, I'm OK with fruits and almonds so I always try to carry some in my bag; then I switch to something else when I can't stomach it anymore... not the best plan/ idea..  buy at least I'm eating... and exercising (I'm addicted) I've switched from cardio to less intense training like small weights/ swimming/ yoga

Good luck, it's tough

Answer

I gained weight my eating late at night and laying down. It went to my stomach but at least I'm thickening up. I can always do sit ups once I gain what I want. Peanut butter, meat, vitamins, water, veggies, ensure helps

Answer

thankyou, this is literally the best response i've got from about five posts about this! i have anemia and a vitamin B12 deficiency so regulating my vitamin intake is a big thing for me and my diet has to be high in B12 rich foods (meat, fish, eggs, dairy, etc.). i havent tried calcium supplements, so i might try that!
