Is it possible to gain weight eating 80/10/10
Hello all, I apologize if something I'm about to write is offensive to anyone.
I've been dealing with disordered body image and eating habits for my entire life. When I was 15 I developed anorexia, which turned into bulimia and binge eating when I was 17-18.
At that time I also started to smoke to deal with my anxiety around food. At first it was just experiemental, but you know how it goes.. I am 19 now and I smoke around 12 cigarettes daily.
About 4 months ago I stumbled into Raw Foods. It all made perfect sense to me and I started eating more and more raw foods. I've shaped my eating since then to fit the 80/10/10 principles, and I'm feeling happier than ever. It seems like all my desire to binge has vanished along with my depression and anxiety. I never dreamed that I could let go of those things so easily. I don't feel any cravings for my formerly worst enemies - bread and candies. I've even gotten around my controlling behaviour and counting calories since I've really started appreciating my bodys needs and thinking of food as fuel, not some kind of dark demon it was for me such a long time.
Now that I'm at this point I've realized how stupid and hazardous my smoking habit is. The only thing keeping me back is weight gain.
I know it is far better to gain those extra pounds than be slave for those cancer sticks for the rest of my life.
But I consider myself a lost case, I'm at a healthy weight at the moment, but I still feel ridiculously conscious about my body. Yes, I go to theraphy reguralry. It's just such a scary thing to think myself gaining any weight. It really get's me an anxiety attack to even think about it.
I am sorry if I sound superficial. I just need to know if I will be able to keep my weight stable by contiuning to eat low fat raw diet after I quit. Do you think I should count my calories? I was planning on adding some extra exercise as well.
I appreciate all comments and advise.

Hey Neet, remember I knew you throughout your 12months 100% low fat raw vegan & you were absofruitly thriving, did u not tell me that? All your posts on Auzzie Raw Pleasure Forum say you were loving life & I saw u with my own eyes, u were stunning on high fruit
Being a professional in the Health & fitness Industry & knowing what healthy weightloss equates to, losing 6kg's in 6weeks is unhealthy for a person already not carrying any excess. It will be predominantly fluid.

again,after our conversation today Free on the phone~i said to you i had gained alot of weight around my middle(this equates to 'excess')~so therefore it is 6 kilos that i didnt need anymore,if it was fluid,then it was fluid gained by eating high fruit,which i now no longer have,isnt that wonderful,either way its win win :)
and also as i said today~i had a parasite in my gut in the last two years,which is now dying off with taking the chinese herbs..this will have had alot of affect on me with how i was feeling...prior to the parasite i seemed to thrive on high fruit,aside from having some candida itchiness though,which i use to do my best to ignore,lol :)

Neety it was lovely to talk to you, it really was, you are my sister :)
This is how i remember you on 811, I love this photo from when we were in Thailand, I hope you don't mind me sharing. You don't look like you have a weight-problem to me & this is on all the fruit you care for, You also nearly outrun me that night! Remember?...I'm glad your parasite is under control :)
