First of all I am anorexic/bulimic - but
trying to find a way to stop.
I have absolutely no fat, but worse-no
muscle. I used to be strong, in great
shape, and active. My active lifestyle
is dead, and so is my dream of playing pro
soccer. I miss it...A lot. I want to
be strong again. How do I go about
gaining back my strength!?
Weight lifting? Cardio? Jogging? I
don't know where to begin. I don't know
what is and what is not good for my body
at this point in time.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you .

I would start out with something
non-strenuous since you have no muscle.
Try walking several miles either every day
or every other day (start with maybe a
mile or mile and a half.. And increase
your walk distance when comfortable).
Also, get yourself some small weights and
start doing some upper body weight lifting
to get your arms and such back in shape.
While your doing this, try buying some
ensure drinks. They will have all the
nutrition you need while you are still
struggling with your eating disorder.
Since your body has no fat and you are
still having issues with eating, I would
stay away from workouts that are too
strenuous just to be safe.
