anorexia in dance

For most of my life I have been considered skinny, buy I understand anorexia is different. The form of exercise I do is dance, do you know if that counts at all as strength training? Thanks a heap for this advise, I'll try to take it into account.

I'm am 16 years old I am on dance team and I consider myself a healthy person but the past few months I've noticed that I'm not notmally hungry and when I am hungry I get the felling that I'm very hungry but then only end up eating two or three bites of my food.I've always been a picky eater and have always eatin like a bird(eating a little bit alot of different times) but never really felt like this.

When you relapsed after gaining weight how did you do it?? Since both of us exercise for hours every day I know in dance I burn around 400 calories. And I know in just walking around I burn calories too. I don't understand how my body couldn't lose weight. The statistics don't even work out. Also I was wondering if you have ever taken diet pills? Because when I took them I lost no weight at all. I just gained.

Personally, when I was in high school, I would go all day without eating anything and was very active with dance team, dance classes, and teaching. What nobody knew was that I was bingeing and purging very late at night. Because of this behavior, I was maintaining a low weight, but one that was not extremely emaciated. There were periods of time though that my weight wasn't even extremely low.

My Stepdad is always caling me ugly .. And when i look in the mirror i believe it sometimes, all my friends say i'm beautiful. But i don't feel Beautiful. i have a problem, I hardly ever eat anymore :( i starve myself. I'm 5'3 and 100 pounds and i'm scared that i'll become anorexic, When i don't eat i get headaches, I always carry Ibuprofen with me, i take atleast 2 or 3 a day, I just really need help ..

When you say that she displays many symptoms of anorexia (in spite of eating three meals/day), what do you mean? What are the symptoms you are noticing?

I have very low self esteem when i look in the mirror i just want to break it, sometimes i just hate myself, I'm 106 pounds and 5'3, i keep eating less, sometimes i starve myself, i'm scared i might become anorexic, But whenever i eat i get depressed, i need help please help me, before things get outta hand ];

why do girls with anorexia stop getting their periods ? what is the link to Kyphosis to anorexia ?

The problem is the voice in your head. The second problem is that you listen to the voice in your head which is telling you all the wrong things. You need to sort this out with a profesional..there are many trained to deal with eating disorders with teenagers...your parents or your doctor can help you find the right person. This can be a very serious health risk...see a professional as soon as possible.

t happen over night and doing it right will keep it off longer... With anorexia the second you start to eat your body holds in everything including the fat because it knows you will starve it again. Also when you stop eating your body will start to eat itself (including your muscles). You can do this hun... keep it up and persevere.

I am trying to get away from doing it as I have had it under control for the past year and it was recently triggered again in January. I have been dealing with it since the 8th grade and I am now a college junior....its a constant battle and I hate it....I am trying so hard right now to fight losing weight the right way....I am having a very hard time.....

Dear kate306, Your gastrointestinal system could definitely be thrown off from your anorexia. Your current anxiety could be the culprit for your diarrhea. Anxiety and Anorexia often go hand in hand. Seeking medical attention for your diarrhea is recommended. Getting to the root of your anxiety and decreasing your anxiety is critical.

Kelp has been used in helping those with Anorexia as a mineral replacement. It consists of several seaweeds. It is rich in calcium, iodine, iron, magneseum, copper, and trace minerals. Anorexia is a delicate disorder, please consult your own medical doctor regarding taking kelp, other over-the-counter supplements, medications, etc. Proper nutrition is the goal in treating Anorexia. Food is medicine. To learn more about anorexia and treatment options, visit the bella vita website.

Every night she took it she had vivid hullucinations.. People in her room. Sh would dance around her house. Have hour long conversations with people (who were not there!) - really scary stuff. And she remembered it like it was real. Actually thought she had ghosts/spirits in the house. Scared the crap out of us telling us these stories.. Didnt realize it was the meds until she stopped them (she always stops her bipolar meds.. but that's another issue).

I just wanted to know is that consider anorexia. Everybody around me thinks i ok but i dont feel ok.

I think double the normal is and needs to be looked at further. She is in dance 5 days per week and does gymnastics but not professionally or anything, just school. Exercise is about 1.5 hrs per day on school days. She is quite small at 105 lbs and has anxiety but otherwise healthy. Any thoughts on this?

Many people with anorexia nervosa, due to trauma in their pasts, want to lose weight for the complete opposite reason, to look sexually unattractive. In my own case, because of a lifetime of being raped and abused, I wanted to become emaciated so that men would find me unattractive and would be sexually repulsed by me, so that they would leave me alone. I hope that by losing weight the abuse might stop.

I'm a 16 year old female and I am barely ever hungry. I do feel hunger only in the morning and around 2-3 hours after I eat breakfast. I usually eat two handfuls of cereal with milk. When it comes to dinner, I'll take a few bites and I'll immediately feel full and nauseous. However I can eat a lot of sweets and salty things like crisps without a problem. A doctor told me that this is anorexia but I don't want to lose weight or feel bad about my body or anything like that.

i suffered from anorexia an still have blips from time to time is this the cause of my PCOS? have i caused my infertility???

...I can feel the pain. My chiropractor aptly describes my condition when he says I suffer from..."feelings of left side of body weakness and increased pressure in right side of head." He goes on to say my symptoms have not improved and appear to be permanent. My cousin who is a practicing doctor suggests it might be polymyalgiarheumatica. Then, another chiropractor says, I don't have near the inflammation needed for that.

Anorexia is fatal. Anorexia is the highest death rate of all other mental illnesses. Between the ages of 19 - 24, Anorexia is the highest cause of death for females. If left untreated, it will get worse. If you haven't already, seeking professional help is essential. To learn more about anorexia and contact me directly visit the bella vita website.
