Hi dear anon 🙂 although I’m not a doctor I can’t really answer regarding to your discharge, but it may be a sign of your period returning/or can be caused by other several factors! And NO, having your period NEVER means that you’re “healthy” and if you still experience starvation symptoms including ed thoughts, cold hands/feet and like you said you’re still gaining, it’s likely you’re aren’t at your healthy set point yet. The BMI range does not have anything to do with whether if you are healthy or not it just some stupid nerdy mathematician’s work. However, some people (but very very very less people) are in the lower range of the BMI and are still healthy. If you’re still gaining weight, it’s likely that your body is not weight restored yet and is still in the process of healing itself (aka feeding yourself with lots of yummy foods!) hope this helps!

Don’t apologize darling. Unfortunately we can not make ourselves have a certain body type. Just as you can’t spot reduce when exercising, you can’t spot reduce when dieting. Your body is going to lose and gain weight in the way it can, not in the way you want, unfortunately.Losing more weight will not make you happier. Look at the message you wrote me, the time in your life that you loved your body was when you were curvy. When you had curves you were happy. To gain those curves back, you would need to gain weight. Losing weight will be the opposite of what once made you happy. Taking your individual self-happiness out of the picture, losing more weight in general will just make you

Fertility and Pregnancy in Bulimia Nervosa

Written by Tamara J. Aitken, RN, MSN, Kimberli McCallum, MD, CEDS, FAPA, and Ginger Nicol, MD Bulimia Nervosa: The Basics Individuals who suffer from Bulimia Nervosa (BN) struggle with recurrent episodes of binge eating, followed by compensatory behaviors to reverse or avoid weight gain. Binge eating is defined as consumption of a large amount of food – as much as a whole day’s worth of calories or more – in a discrete period of time (perhaps over 2-3 hours). Binge episodes are associated with emotional distress, shame, and most of all are associated with a loss of control over eating. Compensatory behaviors can include self-induced vomiting or misuse of laxatives, periods of fasting or restricted food intake, and excessive exercise are also common.  The diagnosis of BN
