So I've just been diagnosed with an eating disorder and I haven't even had time to really process or accept that and already there is like a strict plan in place!

So even though my bmi is 20 (healthy) I am still struggling with laxative use, restricting, purging, and exercise. I don't starve myself but I feel like if I eat something bad then I should burn off the calories or use a laxative. Also I was using diuretics too.

So my doctor has taken my diuretic away last week! Now my therapist is saying that I should eat 1300 calories a day, 3 meals, and no more than 40 minutes in the gym. Isn't this overkill?

Who exercises for 40 minutes? Also he said I can't go lower in my BMI either. According to a healthy number I would like for my bmi to be about 19. Not underweight. He said I can't lose any weight. That's not fair. Shouldn't he just support my goal weight since it's still in a healthy range. Half of America doesn't eat 3 meals a day so why do I have too?

I mean this is all new to me. I don't get why we can't tackle one thing at a time. It's not fair. He said if I was inpatient then I wouldn't even have a choice; which is what he wants btw. Anyone here have a recovery plan by your therapist? How does it compare to mine?

It is better to have some extra weight. God forbid you ever get phenomonia and not get well cause of it. Extra weight is there for a reason. If your therapist suggested it they know something that will work and you should work with them and try what they say first. Good luck

1300 and 40 minutes exercise will make you lose weight.
