Can anorexics be "huge" after recovery? Or are their muscles perma-fucked. Asking for a friend

I'm definitely not huge, user, or even close to "making it", but I'm also a chick so I'm sure that doesn't help my size when it comes to muscle mass. That being said, I'm 20lbs into the road to recovery and have noticeable muscle definition instead of just being skin and bones.

Hang in there, user. You can make it.

furious pete was anorexic

I was fat in elementary school and was bullied for it. By grade 7 I was down to 65 lbs and was diagnosed with anorexia. I actually cured myself of it, without therapy or anything and I was "normal" from grade 8 through 11. In grade 11 I enrolled in weight training class as an alternative to physical education, and by second year of university I was 210lbs at ~12-15% body fat, and regularly got accused of taking steroids. I injured my knee squatting and was prescribed cycling as rehab, and I loved it, and now I'm a fairly high level racer on the domestic scene at 145 lbs race weight (currently sitting at 150ish going into early season). During my bodybuilding years I would basically eat anything and everything, but now I estimate calories again, which is actually a slippery slope, I can feel that sometimes I get a bit weird and have to take a step back and be mindful not to take my weight too far, but to answer your question, yes, anorexics can gain muscle subsequently, assuming you weren't doing it long enough to permanently throw your hormones out of whack.

No-bullshit clinical depression

You're tired/lazy all the time, want to kys and simply don't feel like eating much

can you share your stats from when you lifted?

What a rollercoaster, user. Good that you are now seeing reality instead of a morphed reality. You look healthy and I bet you feel better too.

I was actually quite weak for how big I was. I gained lots of muscle mass, but my three main lifts were all comparatively unimpressive. I never tried for 1 rep maxes or anything, but my heaviest sets were 6x205 on the bench, 5x295 squatting, and I actually never deadlifted until I became a cyclist and my coach told me to in the offseason for core work! One thing though, I could do 5 pull ups with 2 plates on my belt, I was always proud of that.

yes

Funny thing about clinical depression is it can go the other way too.

Eating correctly and a lot is tiresome

Shut-in autist who think muscly jocks are stupid and want to look like their chinese cartoons. They think they are "peak performance" due to low bf% and "no unnecessary muscle to slow them down".

I know because I used to be one. Being a skinny to my 20s fuck left me with a really slim bone structure but you can still build plenty of muscle on. Going from 60kg to 78kg has really changed my life and despite my chronic atopic skin, people often do dedcribe me as "good looking".

Yep. Look up Serena Abweh on yt, huge transformation

It's a mental illness and can develop from depression or trauma. You're right about anorexic women, 9/10 of them are thots.

body image issues developed due to weight fluctuation in childhood, coupled with low self steem and treating any food as a reward, depriving yourself of it if for any possible reason
also sometimes coupled with exercise to the point of injury and no rest

>tfw body looks exactly like that pic

I had a medical condition that caused me to be borderline anorexic for a bit. My esophagus tightened for an unknown reason so I couldn't swallow anything but noodles and liquids for 4-5 months. Once I got the procedure to fix it I was already adapted to eating 1 meal per day and smoking cigs constantly as a substitute for food. I've gained 13 lbs back out of the 25 I lost. (5'11 160->135->148lbs)
keep at it bro you'll feel better the further you remove yourself from it

you were not borderline anorexic (maybe borderline retarded). I was 120 at 6 feet and I wasn't borderline anorexic.
