Answers:
I think your body is probably starved for vitamins that it lacked while you were "restricting" so it is telling you to eat more in a desperate attempt to get what it needs!.

Make sure you are getting plenty of protein, iron, calcium and other essential minerals and vitamins!. Try to pinpoint what is exactly that your body is starving for the most!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I suffered form anorexia for 15 years but thankfully beat it!. I believe that when your mind is so confused, it is impossible to recognise your real appetite!. For me, I was so anxious that I didnt really know when I was hungry or not!. Maybe you use food to try and gain control of your life, and by focusing on it, you are gettiing even moe upset!. I really dont think that what you're eating is the problem -I would urge you to get some professional help to deal wih the underlying issues - you are clearly unhappy

Try eating slower!. Your body has triggers to let you know you are full and if you eat very quickly, they don't register!. also, perhaps try non vegetarian food as if you haven't eaten properley, you may be missing essential proteins!.

Ma be worth eating some meat with your meal!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sounds like your eating fine, just start taking some multivitamins and make sure you get plenty of fluids!. You can't digest properly with out them and you wont be as hungry unless you're fully hydrated!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If your hungary, eat!. Honestly what you wrote isn't all that much!. As long as your eating good food which it seems like you are, eat as much as you like!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

two weeks is a long time your body isnt used to food give it timeWww@FoodAQ@Com

my dear girl, please please stop torturing your body !!!

you starved yourself for 2 weeks and 'restricted' food for 4 months - your body has obviously gone into panic mode!. your body has been in this mode for a while is now trying to trick you into eating a lot of food to recover!.

you have an eating disorder and you need proffesional help and you need it NOW !.!.!.!. before you eat so much that you will make yourself more ill and put on weight and struggle for years to lose it and your self esteem will drop to new lows!.

The inner voices of anorexia and bulimia whisper that you’ll never be happy until you lose weight, that your worth is measured by how you look!. But the truth is that happiness and self-esteem come from loving yourself for who you truly are–and that’s only possible with recovery!.

It may seem like there’s no escape from your eating disorder, but recovery is within your reach!. With treatment, support from others, and smart self-help strategies, you can overcome your eating disorder and gain true self-confidence!.

the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem and you seem to have done it already!.

YOU CAN DO IT girl, please talk to your parents / someone you trust and feel comfortable talking to and see a doctor soon!. I hope you can confront and eradicate your problem!.

you know it makes me really angry that today's world where EVERY celebrity is skinny to the limit of being unhealthy and all the young girls like you are pressurised into being like them instead of being healthy and eating right !! damn them and do what is right for you !Www@FoodAQ@Com
