I hate my body so much. Im anorexic and I have been since February, but I read the effects and I want to eat healthy! Ive started eating again, but its all junk. Does anyone have a meal plan that will actually help you lose weight and is easy foods to actually get at a supermarket?

Kudos to you for wanting to be healthy!
Okay, first, don't try to lose more than 1-2 pounds a week.
As for foods, it is really easy to eat healthy these days.
First, make sure to get enough calories. 1500 a day is ideal for losing weight as it provides enough energy for proper body function and exercise while still helping you lose weight.
Eat breakfast! A bowl of cereal, a cup of yogurt, a piece of fruit, something light, healthy, and full of natural sugars and carbs. It will give you a jumpstart for the day.
At lunch, try to balance carbs and proteins. A salad with chicken or steak is a great choice, as is a taco or wrap. But be careful with tacos. Ground beef can be very fatty, so unless you buy and prepare it, don't trust it. Deli meats can have a lot of sodium and preservatives in them, so be careful with those as well.
For dinner, you want to focus on proteins. When you sleep is when your body rests and rebuilds, so protein provides necessary materials. Chicken breasts are a fabulous way to eat healthier, as they are so versatile! I personally love to make baked chicken with rosemary and blackberry wine. Or you can put salsa on it.
An important thing to remember when cooking healthier is to not neglect herbs and spices. Unlike condiments, they don't add unwanted calories. Just lots of flavor.
Hope I helped, and good luck!

You need to see a doctor/couselor and have a weight loss plan that is fit to your lifestyle. They can help you start eating healthy again.

Congratulations on wanting to eat healthy and wanting to get on the right track physically and mentally.
First of all being anorexic has other issues besides the eating issue. I work with teens who have eating disorders on a regular basis, and continuing to want to lose weight if you haven't been eating properly for 6 months then you shouldn't be continuing to diet. Eating healthy is the best way to keep a healthy weight is to eat 3 small meals a day and 3 snacks eat lots of veggies and fruit but protein as well, ie. meat and some carbs.
A good day would look like a whole wheat bagel / toast for breakfast with low fat peanutbutter, and some fruit, snack at 10:30/11:00 of a yogurt, lunch of a salad with some tuna on it and a small amount of dressing, snack mid-afternoon of fruit, healthy dinner of veggies, meat grilled not fried, and if you want potatoes have a little, and then snack at around 8pm of some cheese and crackers or veggies and dip...
I would suggest you talk to your parents as well get them to take you to a doctor or go to a doctor yourself to make sure that you don't have other health problems due to the past 6 months.
You are making great positive choices for yourself right now, but since anorexia is also a type of addiction you will need more counseling so that you don't fall back into the old pattern. You are worth being healthy, you do deserve it.
Hope this helps.

i am acually on a diet right now called the fruit diet. All you eat is fruit i mean you can't go wrong with fruit. Also you should take multi-vitamins because with this diet your not getting all the vitamins you need to live a full healthy productive life. Another thing you could do if you're still hungry on this diet you can eat a yogurt once a day.(sugar free!) So far lost two pounds and it has been a little more than a week. Make sure you excercise as well but don't over do it excercising can become addicting. Good luck.
love,
Brittni
