Bulimia And Weight Gain

by M

I have a question about bulimia and weight gain. I'm currently trying to gain some weight after a prolonged battle with Bulimia (which I have been in recovery from for a year.)

However, my fear of falling back into a purging habit has led me to restrict, and thus I am as underweight as I was before.

I heavily restrict one day, and the next day I will eat a little more, but I still think I underestimate my calorie intake. The only reason I do one day on, one day off is that I experience SEVERE refeeding syndrome, and I am trying to recover on my own because hospitals have not worked for me.

Why I am losing weight? How much do I need to increase by to gain weight?

I am trying really hard and I so badly want to get heavier - at a slow and manageable pace!
