Thin, But Still Fat, And An Eating Disorder. Help!?

admin — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 21:31:59 +0000

Hi. I am almost 18, 5′3″ and 108 pounds. I wear a size 1-2 in jeans, but I am still sort of fat. I have a pot belly, and my boyfriend has even brought it up to me saying I would look better with a smaller stomach. I have suffered from an eating disorder for almost three years, and I’ve gained 10 agonizing pounds toward the sake of my health only and this is what becomes of it. I get a pot belly and my boyfriend negatively comments my body. I already have terrible self-image, and it just adds on to it. I want to firm my stomach and legs and lose a little bit of weight, around 5-7 pounds. Would that be dangerously unhealthy? I am just desperate to feel better, to feel more confident, and to look better. I am Asian and other Asian friends look at me like I am a “fat American.” Forgive me if this sounds like pitiful anorexic-media brainwash, but I feel so huge and ugly. I’ve been trying to heal emotionally from anorexia and every time I eat, self confidence is knocked down but I have to force myself to eat so I can maintain health. I exercise an hour a day, but nothing is happening and every time I look in the mirror, I want to cry. I do not want to gain weight, I do not want to go to therapy, I don’t want to get better, I guess is what I’m trying to say. I just wish I could be healthy AND look thin. Is there any way to do that at all?

ok, im 16 years old and im 5 ft 9 and 7 stone although i try not to weigh myself to much as i get obsessed. i eat very little during the week, i can go days without eating, making up excuses like ‘oh i had a big lunch so im not hungry’ or ‘ill get something later’ although i never do. then at the weekends i eat more than a normal person would consume on a weekly basis. i don’t even feel physically hungry but i just eat and eat and then i eat nothing for the rest of the week and feel very tired and weak and i cant concentrate at school. ive tried eating during the week but i just feel sick and dizzy when i try to eat healthily. i dont do any exercise either, do i have a health problem?

Is It Possible To Gain Between 8 To 10 Pounds Of Fat In 1 Week From Binge Eating?

admin — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 03:11:04 +0000

I’m a 17-year-old 5′4″ female and I recently lost over 30 pounds in a period of 8 months on the Jenny Craig diet. I was advised by my consultant at the center to restrict my caloric intake to 1200 a day. I followed the menu as religiously as possible but often felt extremely hungry and fatigued, stopped having my period, got brittle nails, and to make matters worse, my body eventually went into starvation mode. As it turned out, I was eating 1300 calories below my caloric maintenance level. Top that off with the fact that I exercise 3 times a week, and, according to my pedometer, I burn over 1000 calories due taking more than 20000 steps a day…oh, my goodness. When I asked my consultant to put me on 1700 calories, she refused to and quickly explained that some of her other clients who are “marathon runners” only need 1500. So, I decided to tough it out for 1 more week and ended up gaining a pound. Her response? “Um, yeah…I don’t know what’s going on.” It was right then and there I decided it would be best for me to just give my body a break, a chance to recover.
So, it has been 10 days since Jenny Craig and I parted ways. The first 3 days of eating on my own were absolutely fantastic. I even lost 0.8lbs! It all started going downhill on the 4th day, thanks to my stomach’s growling and feeling empty every 60 to 90 minutes. Ever since then, I have been binge eating on various fruits such as grapes and watermelon, wholegrain high fiber granola cereal (with and without Omega-3), oatmeal, flax sprouted grain bread, and fat free soy beverage. Absolutely no fast food. None. No MacDonald’s, KFC, Burger Baron, Subway, nothing. Anyway, I have gone from 129.9lbs to 138. Mind you, I have intestinal gas and abdominal bloating, and I’ve been expelling a lot of waste. So, is it really possible to gain between 8 to 10 pounds of fat in 1 week from binge eating? Is this my body’s way of trying to achieve some kind of balance?

How Many Calories Should I Be Eating?

admin — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 15:07:38 +0000

If I eat roughly 1700 calories per day, and walk 8 miles per day (my pedometer calculates this to burn roughly 900 calories) plus exercise intensely for an hour (burning roughly 600 calories) – am I eating enough?
I don’t feel hungry but I don’t understand how this can be right.
Neglecting my BMR for a second, this comes out to be 1700 – (600 + 900) = 200 calories intake.
Can someone please explain this to me?

What Is More Health Beneficial, Eating And Then Exercising Or Exercising And Then Eating?

admin — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 03:17:43 +0000

here’s my take.
If you eat before, you’ll have calories in your blood sugar ready to work. You work off your meal basically. You also risk cramps if you workout too soon. Cramps can kill a workout.
If you eat after, you’ll use more stored calories (body fat), and the proteins you eat after have much better chance of being absorbed by your sore muscles. The downside being that you need to push yourself harder because you don’t have that “ready energy” already in your blood stream.
Personally – I eat a little before. You need SOME energy at the ready. You cant do it all with body fat. I like a low-fat yogurt and a banana. That’s plenty carbs and protein for me pre-workout, and it doesn’t cause cramping. After, I drink whey protein drinks as they metabolize the nutrients almost immediately where food takes a few hours.

I’ve Been Told That I Might Have An Eating Disorder, But I’m Not Too Sure..?

admin — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 03:08:30 +0000

i weigh myself 3-4 times per day, and would feel lost if i didn’t constantly know my weight.
my BMI is 18.5, which means i’m classified as normal.
as far as food goes, i have a low-calorie dinner, and sometimes i might have a cup of soup for lunch, but i prefer to go without.
i can’t stand eating, i think it’s really pointless, and i get embarrassed about it easily.
i wear a pedometer, count caloried obsessively, and try to walk as much as i can.
i can’t stand looking at myself in mirrors, because it upsets me to see what i look like. i often end up avoiding them or covering them up with stuff in my house.
what do you think i should do ?

Is there any other news article I still should know?
