Q. Have you ever been in an inpatient eating disorder recovery program? What is it like? What do they eat on a daily basis? Do you count calories? I have been suffering from binge/purge type anorexia for 4 years, and I can not get help until I am 18 because my parents refuse to let me. I am trying to center what I will eat around what they would have me do. Thanks!!!
A. Well, I have Bulimia and I never been in an eating disorder clinic, but I can only imagine that you only eat healthy food and in a good portion. I don't think they'll count calories because they want to help you get out of that bad habit of worrying about absolutely everything you eat. If you're anorexic they'll want you to gain weight and I'm bulimic and of healthy weight, so they'll want me to stop purging everything I eat. Not all eating disorder clinics are fun. Some will treat you like you're the criminally insane. All eating disorder clinics are different. Just do a little research on the one you plan on enrolling in.
What o they have you eat in inpatient eating disorder recovery?

A. i went into a recovery clinic last year and they did it so i was eating the amount that i should be as a young female. it was around 1,500-1,700 calories although they dont let you see packets ect so they stop you from calorie counting. its just eating how you should do. in taking the right amount of calories and exercising the right amount off xx
Is there anywhere online that I can read novels about eating disorders?
Q. Is there anywhere that I can read stories about eating disorders. Maybe some long ones. I don't want like informational, medical book stories. I want like something I can get into, that has a plot and what not.
Or maybe a place that I can read new novels online for free.
Anything like that would be swell thanks
