When I was 16 and a half, I had an eating problem for about 6 months (I was borderline anorexia) but got over it pretty quickly with help. From then on I ate 1600 - 1800, and exercised several times a week for 15-20 minutes (walking/jogging). But then, after a while, I had a lot of things happening for me, and I got depressed really bad and was always stressed out. Since I wasn't able to go out and exercise as much and sat down most of the day, I started only eating 1200 - 1400. I am getting better from it and taking medication now and I just turned 18 in April. I haven't weighed myself in a long while, but the last time I checked I was 111 pounds. I think I gained a few more, but I'm not sure. I am 5'1, almost 5'2. But I've started to pick back up again and exercise more, like I did before, going walking/jogging for 15-20 minutes several times a week. I always try to eat very healthy and eat a variety of things to and I am a vegetarian to. (became one after I got better from my eating problem.)
but I am worried about my metabolism. Since I am trying to exercise more like I did before, should I try to eat more again to? Or is it okay to eat only 1200 - 1400? I still sit down a little more than half the day doing school work. Will I be okay?
