Helping an eating disorder
I've had an eating disorder for a few months now. I was recently diagnosed with Mono in June and I'm almost done with it. The reason why I'm including this in my question is because since your spleen enlarges due to Mono, I haven't ran in awhile. I used to run on a daily basis & eat regularly, but was still on a diet. When I ran a few times a week, I weighed around 130-135 lbs and I'm in the 5'7-5'9 range. I was basically average, but still had an eating problem. I haven't ran for 2 months [since Mono] & I now weigh 122 lbs. I do like running, but I had a few questions. First of all, I'm not sure when it would be okay for me to exercise regularly because my spleen is still a bit sore & tender. Also, since I haven't been exercising, I haven't been eating a lot of food. I've gotten used to eating small amounts & when I do eat more, I get a bad stomach ache. I don't think I am ready to go back to running, because then I'll have to eat more [for more energy] & I'm not sure I'm mentally stable to do that. 122 lbs is not underweight I don't think, but I'm not sure when to exercise & what I can eat. My eating disorder really affected me mentally & I have a hard time eating anything. Does anyone have any suggestions or opinions? Thanks!

hey there!
122 pounds for being 5'7- 5'9 is ALMOST underweight.
Before you got mono, you were healthier (obviously) and if you run every day, you were probably pretty strong. being sick like that for that long usually makes you weak. If you want to get back to your previous weight and be able to start running again, I suggest you start slow. Start eating more. Eat more and more gradually until you're back to how much you used to eat. Then, for the running part, start by walking. Maybe for a week or so just take a walk to build up your muscle again. Then, start jogging for a while and then when you're completely healthy and feel up to running again, do it. As for your eating disorder, tell yourself if you're running every day, (which is great, kudos to you) you'll be perfectly fine. Eat regular meals and you should be fine.
I hope I helped!

dont excercize right now you are way to skinny to do that, if you are 5'7 your at the bottom of your ideal' weight and if you are 5-8'9 you are annorexic or underweight, it's okay to eat small amounts but with your current weight eat stuff full and i mean chock full of fat.
you were healthy before, believe me guys LOVE curves what woman dosent care about that?
