-- Posted by newmie66 at 12:31 pm on July 11, 2008 I had an eating disorder, and now I'm in recovery. I'm eating a normal diet, with some extra calories to help me gain back the weight I lost. I'm eating more, doing less exercise, and I'm still LOSING weight!! Two weeks in a row! Why? -- Posted by SammySunshine at 12:32 pm on July 11, 2008 Your metabolism must still be pretty high, it's a long recovery process. -- Posted by glowinthedark at 12:35 pm on July 11, 2008 you're metabolism may be just eating up the foot taht you're eating. -- Posted by Just Waiting Here at 12:36 pm on July 11, 2008 Well... I mean, it could be your metabolism, it could just be that your body is acting differently to the new changes... Or... you had an eating disorder... you weren't eating much.  Of course you're going to drop weight in an unhealthy way... you may have been putting too much strain on your body. But now, you're eating a proper diet and exercising the RIGHT amount for your body and the diet you have.  Doesn't it make sense that your body may be going through some healthier changes now? Give it some time, You may start gaining some weight back, but it will most likely be more in muscle from exercise and the like :). -- Posted by devilindisguize at 3:06 am on July 12, 2008 yeah, i agree. your metabolism is adjusting to eating a normal amount. if you dont start to gain weight after a while, you may need to adjust your calories again. it takes time. congratulations on recovering, thats great!
