Where do i even begin! 

So i been in flair on and off for 1 year exact, i become really slim due to not eating. i been eating on average 1400 calories a day. Maintaining a weight of (142 pounds) exact!

So now the doctors have given me Pentasa Suppositories 1g, And its been just over a month and i go to the toilet once every 2 days. I feel amazing!!!!!!!! No blood  just my normal life back.

But the funny side to it is. Now i can eat without worry, I been desperate to gain that 14 pounds back or more. I been eating 3200 calories a day for around a month, i go to the toilet once every 48 hours!

So i finally come to decision to weigh my self and see how much i achieved.

IM EXACTLY 142 pounds still!

Its driving me crazyyyyyyy!    how can i maintain a weight of 142 pounds on 1400 calories. Then i more then double calorie intake , and still maintaining 132 pounds :S

Please can someone help, im so self embarrassed of my weight ....
