yeah the exercising is a huge issue someone needs to stop her because I can’t see her giving it up on her own

So yesterday she ran a 10k in 38.28… today she is doing it again to beat the time. The girl is obsessed with exercise and just does not have the ability to stop. She says in one breath she wants to gain a load of weight but then a few days into that challenge, exercise has taken priority yet again and she’s pushing herself even harder (most likely because she’s eating a slightly bigger porridge bowl now)
I wonder if this has anything to do with her going out and eating a whole pizza. I have a feeling it may have been a fear food challenge set by her family/a professional she may be working with. She really needs to understand that over exercising to compensate for eating a high calorie IS a disordered way of thinking. Unless she stops the compulsive exercise she will never fully recover.
her mother shouldnt be encouraging her , she is in the gym with her a lot talk about enabling behavior
maybe she goes to the gym with her to monitor her, just an thought
I wondered that but then she said her mum had an ED background so I’m wondering if it’s (potentially sub)consciously encouraging her
I don’t follow her anymore cos she was triggering me but I saw her the other day and she looks tiny again. I don’t know what it is or if it’s a common symptom/side effect but her head looks wrong for her body
it is common that people with anorexia tend to get like a ‘bobble head’ type of effect where the head looks too big for the body
She’s at uni, depending on the course she’s doing summer holidays can easily be from April/May to the end of September depending on her assessment type.
seems like her and her boyf broke up? wonder if he pointed out how unwell she is and this new challenge was her retaliation ...
So she’s run a half marathon this morning but her lunch is just a sandwich and fruit?? I would love to know what she was eating before this so-called weight gain journey! Clearly f all! Yet she was taking money from others who believed she was recovered. Bordering on con artist there
I imagine their holiday in Tenerife was a big eye opener for him and made him realise she really hasn’t recovered from her ED at all…..
On her tenerife vlog she talked about all this stuff they'd planned to do (activities etc) but then claimed they fancied chilling by the pool instead. He also drank every day from around noon from what it looked like so did seem like their priorities are different to be honest
has she like posted something about it?
Her latest WIEIAD on tik tok she’s uploaded I still would say she’s probably only eating at maintenance if that. I only say that because the plates/bowls she uses look tiny and I feel she uses them and fills them to make it look like a massive meal when in reality it’s smaller in size than a “normal” meal. She definitely needs to eat way more if she ever wants to gain weight OR she could exercise less but with her exercise obsession that’s unlikely 
I’ve mainly heard about it just through rumours, but also I noticed that theyve unfollowed each other around the time she posted that video of her crying before a run at the end of July
Start of her newest YouTube vid essentially confirms the break up
I do seriously wonder if he ended things because he could see that she was compulsively exercising and obsessing over what she was eating (orthorexia) and that he just couldn’t deal with it anymore and had to walk away.
As a result of that I believe that’s why she’s started this “Grow with Em” thing to prove him wrong. I’m all for her gaining weight god knows she needs to considering she still doesn’t have her period (side note: it completely baffles me that the fact she still didn’t have her period didn’t drive her on to gain more weight when she first stated recovery end of last year. Clearly her ED was still so ingrained in her that she couldn’t force herself to gain anymore than the bare minimum i.e get out of the underweight bmi range). I really do hope she is getting some professional help as she clearly needs it but I know she has previously talked about being stubborn so she probably won’t listen to professional advice especially if they told her to cut back on the exercise
Yeah he was with her during her hospitalisation so maybe he felt like enough was enough with how reluctant she is to recover
I’ve added her WIEIAD to around 1700 cals. Nowhere near enough for someone who is apparently trying to gain weight!!
