    Not to be harsh but from that menu your body will think your starving and won't let go of any weight...it'll hang on to in desperation. You have to eat more, there's no way around it.

      I'm not sure any of us are really qualified to review your menu, Stefanie.
      I'm thinking that you should be talking with a nutritionist and your doctor. We're all happy to help you through this, of course, but if you are dealing with eating disorder issues, it's probably best to talk to professionals when it comes to dealing with your food intake.
      Your body is going to have special needs that your doctor or nutritionist will know more about if you have a history of problems, and I'm hoping you are all working closely together and that you aren't doing this on your own.

        yep what Moochie said but let me point out the obvious. you are low fat. Atkins uses dietary fats to keepo the body fuel system primed for burning body fats.

        Also Atkind induction is 3 cups of veggies so you need some more veggies in there. how about some veggies sticks with a high fat dressing as the dip? Many folk use the ranch stuff and from your lunch it looks like you do too.

        you might since you have an eating disorder use www.fitday.com so you can see your ratios better fats should be 65% of your dietary fuel sources with the proteins around 30% and your carbs less then 20 net with at least half of them coming from those healthy induction list veggies.

        What you doing as the exercise part of your Atkins? and how much water are you drinking?

            welcome back and congrats on the 10 pounds. I hope you are being honest with your ED counselor so you can keep control of this. Happy losing the right way.
