dddggggeeeee...................................................what is normal? I am starting to panic when I eat close to 850 calories in a day.... I want to throw up the minute food hits my stomach...I know that is not exactly normal....but what is? Next week I will have recovered from an accident and I can use the gym again...but I fear that my "free time" will be spent exercising and food will completely consume me...it did a number of years ago...then led to a major depression and thoughts of.....I was able to over come it, but NOW it hit again and I am watching it gain momentum and take over my life... IT IS LIKE WATER FINDING EVERY CRACK IN MY BEING AND FILLING FULL!

hey there
i think "normal" calorie intake is 1,500 cals a day if you want to stay in shape
it all depends on your size and metabolism
but 850 is not enough to be healthy! your body burns a lot during the day, and if you excersize now you will need a lot more then that

try to stay calm there girl, i understand what you are going through.
just try to keep busy with friends and do whatever relaxes you. listen to good upbeat music, go for walks, get fresh air, join a group where you can meet new ppl, read a book, just stay positive!
its easier said than done i know, but maybe cut things out of magazines like i do and put them on your wall for motivation to stay positive.
make sure your getting lots of sleep rest too. take it one day at a time
best of wishes
*lucky*

I'd say that you are acting normal--for a person in a state of panic.

Do you have someone that you can talk with face to face? Someone who's on your side, i.e., friend or family member who can help with the feelings of panic? If you can get the panic under control maybe then see a professional about its source.

Good luck and hang in there....

Its easy to panic when you are going through a battle with an eating disorder.

On the bright side, 850 is a heckuvalot better than zero. Pat yourself on the back for that.
