I've eaten around 2600 calories a day for a couple of weeks and I'm excited that I can eat food that I've missed. I have baked my own rolls, eaten mashed potatoes almost daily, oats with yoghurt and pineapple and a lot of fruit. I can't see a weight gain because of this, so it's great. Today, even though I'm as big as before my eating disorder started I think I look pretty good. I don't think a redistribution will make a lot of difference on how I look now because I do not have the toddler shape some say they have before the redistribution (fat around the waist).
My metabolism is definitely improved. I know this for a fact because I have measured my body temperature for weeks now. It's gone up slowly from 36,3 to 36,9. Before recovery it was far less than this. Some people have cold hands and feet, but a high temperature. Then it have to be poor circulation. I know vitamin E can help. Probably a lot of other things too.
I eat meat only once a week or two. I get enough protein from all the grains. I have tried rolls with wheat, spelt, barley and rye and prefer rye. I have read that modern wheat contains more gluten that the original wheat so it's best to avoid it as much as possible. I like the taste of rye better anyway, but it is very hard to digest for me.
I have ordered a blender and look forward to make nice cream, using frozen fruit to make fat free sorbet. I'm gonna use banana, mango, peach and papaya. I'm happy I can eat food like that with no problems. I do get some gas from the grains, but it doesn't hurt as I am far from constipated.
The pain in my legs and feet are less, the head aches are almost gone and it's a long time since I had flu like symptoms (migraine).
My family has been supporting and nice to me. I have avoided other people, but now I accept more how I look so this will change. A guy who likes "the skinnier the better" is coming to live with me in ten days time. He hasn't seen me since before I started eating more so I worry what he will say.

I look forward to have energy to exercise again. I have burned out my adrenals so it will take years, probably. I sleep a lot to heal them.
My energy level and strength is not improved more than say 15%. I will do a bit of strength training at home for my back, thighs and stomach because I need it. It will just be a few minutes a day in the beginning. Hopefully I can do a bit of yoga as well soon. Just sun salutations and a couple of other asanas to start with. I will stop as soon as I feel I'm straining myself.
I have not stepped on the scale these ten weeks. If I should guess I am probably at a BMI of 23 now.
