I'm currently in my 8th month of anorexia recovery (wow the time has flown!) I'm now at a BMI of 18 up from 15 and have been told I need to get to at least 20. I'm 15 years old and 5'4 I've had many inpatient admissions during this time. About a month ago I was discharged after falling to my lowest weight ever since I have come home I have been extremely Lahargic and am having trouble staying awake and completing everyday activities like school and getting out of bed. My Palpitationd have started again and my body image has been horrid! Although my weight has been plateauing frequently. ive also found myself to be very 'out of it' and lightheaded. I'm mostly Following my meal plan from Inpatient which consists of
Breakfast: 1 C cereal, 1 C soy milk, 1 soy yogurt, 1-2 toast, Margarine, Spread, 1 Fruit Snack: Varying usual a granola bar Lunch: Sandwich on WW bread with margarine, salad and protein source. 1 Fruit, sometimes 1 soy yogurt (if I'm home) Snack: Custard/Rice Pudding/ Cottage Cheese /Sustagen and biscuits. Dinner: Main dish, large protein source, 2 serves of carbs, vegetables. Dessert: soy ice cream Snack: Varying usually mixed Nuts
Is this too little? Do I need more? Is it normal? I have never experienced similar symptoms before. Any advice?
