Former anorexic here, and we have similar stories. about a year ago, I was hospitalized for an extremely low body weight. After 5 months, i was released. My doctors wanted me at 100-105 minimum. If i dropped below 90, i would be sent back. I focused on *scary word* high calorie yet nutritious and yummy foods, like protein bars, frozen yogurt and peanut butter. I am now up to 110 pounds. Yeah, it's scary but it beats the hell out of what i was at. I also have loose skin on my stomach, but i am doing ab exercises to reduce that. Also, my weight gain has evened out my body. I may be over 100, but i know I'm not fat, no matter how uncomfortable i am with the number. I also decided that I wanted that womanly hourglass figure rather than the the shapeless stick figure of a 7 year old.
