    hey,I don't have much knowledge of eating disorders but all I can think of to say is please don't worry! no matter what addiction everyone can have relapses, I know this personally. it could well be your bodys way of telling you it needs nutrients.hope you are feeling ok. how old are you?

    if you have only been eating vegetables for over a week it is almost certainly your body's way of saying that it needs you to eat more. It is very unlikely your body will be getting the calories(1500-2000 per day) and nutrition from veg alone.

    Have you sought any help for your eating disorder? There are some good articles here...

    dont worry!!

    It feels like a lot, but youve been undereating recently, and if you undereat for a while, you have to eat something big every now and again to stop your metabolism from slowing down and it really wont affect anything.

    maybe ask your family why they are happier with you eating veg over cereal? Perhaps they feel that it is slightly healthier in terms of vitamins etc?

    You wont gain.
    As I said, even if youre restricting a lot, its actually good for weight loss to eat something biggish every now and again to keep the weightloss on track. It boosts the metabolism. Calm down x

    Just a reality check, I know you think a cheese baguette is "so much crap" but that's your disordered thinking. A cheese baguette is a perfectly reasonable occasional part of a healthy diet.

    It depends on what "just veg" is, but in general a variety of vegetables will contain a reasonable blend of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, and vitamins and minerals whereas cereals tend to be over refined and heavy on the carbohydrates.

    i read somewhere that in order to gain 1lb you need to consume 1000 calories a day more than you expend, for seven days. So say you need 1500cals a day for your body to function you would need to eat 1500cals x7 days plus 1000cals x7days. you won't gain from one cheese baguette. you wont have even consumed what your body would burn off if you laid in bed all day doing nothing (1500 - 2000cals).

    Hope that helps you feel calmer :)

    your body will be sooooo happy for that morsel of cheese baguette even though your mind is telling you otherwise.
    let it stay in and nourish you a little. It feels like a big deal, but its not, its just a sandwich x

    do you keep a blog or journal? it may help to release the negative feelings between your ED group meetings?
