766752 tn?1234946743 Hi there, Unfortunately, in recovery from anorexia it's not really uncommon to have these feelings, and physical symptoms. I know it makes it much, much harder, but it's just part of it. When one's body has been starved for so long, it has to "readjust" once it starts getting food again. It WILL pass though and when your body gets used to the idea of getting food, and learns to trust you again, this will not continue.
918035 tn?1274644533 I myself have 15 years recovery from an Eating Disorder; not Anorexia, but I have spoken with many people who have longterm recovery from that as well. Over time, your symptoms will get less and less frequent and when you are in recovery if something upsets you you will think about restricting, but will have other tools to handle your feelings. I think it is very much important for you to receive treatment for your Anorexia because it is very very hard to do it on your own.
Avatar n tn The body needs at least 1 day/wk of recovery so that tissues can regenerate. This can be an active recovery day, though, so you could do some cardio if you wanted to (preferably a non-weight bearing activity like a bike in order to give your joints some recovery time), but it would have to be at a very low intensity for no more than 30 minutes including probably a 3-5 minute warm-up and a 5-10 minute cool down.
Avatar f tn It's not your only option. In the time it will take to starve your body, you could have fed it health foods in healthy portions & ended up at a healthy weight with muscle tone instead of a sick skinny with no muscle tone & health problems.
Avatar f tn Hello ~ Recovery from anorexia is a process that can take many years. It is common to encounter the emotional, psychological, and medical consequences of this disorder even after a long period of stabilization. The toll anorexia takes on one’s body can be immense. It is an integral part of recovery to stay closely connected to your physician and have regular check ups.
Avatar f tn =D but mainly if your worried about your body, look at those this super models with their bones sticking out, MAYBE go on a health diet, so that you know the food going in your body is good and do lots of exercise so it will turn into muscle. let me know how you go ok.
Avatar f tn Strength training will help, I think. But eat healthy and gain muscle. Gaining muscle and exercising regularly but not TOO much with help you become lean and healthy, so you can be happy.That way you can become lean and even LOOK and BE healthy.
Avatar n tn I've been trying to find out how long someone can live with anorexia/bulimia, but can't find anything. I guess it really depends on the individual, but there's not even a range given. Any ideas? A little background: I've had anorexia for 14 years and bulimia for 2. I've been very fortunate in not having any serious medical complications, however in the last 3 years my eating disorder has become my entire life.
Avatar m tn Looking for insight on my girl friends malnutrition. she has a history with anorexia but has managed it herself over the years. We've been together 3 years now I've seen her success with routine eating but hardly cosistent. She cycles to work, works 3-4 jobs and manages to find time to workout or swim 1-2 times a day plus consumin considerable amounts of water and eating light meals here and there. I believe these habits contribute to her insecurity of gaining weight.
Avatar n tn I'm recently in recovery from 11yrs of anorexia. I have severe osteoporosis as a result. I am 22 years old. I was put on birth control for the estrogen to help replenish my bones, and return my period. (I do not menstruate without the pill) I have doubts of my being able to actually carry a child in the future, but was considering a surrogate mother. Is there anyway to tell if I'm even producing eggs anymore? Is a surrogate, with my egg and husband's sperm possible?
Avatar f tn Recently i suffered from anorexia nervosa with then developed into me binge eating which then ended in bulimia nervosa. I am aware of what is happening to me, but as it has happened in a short space of time (2years) i feel a little lost. I live in the UK and it is extremly hard to get help as docotors do not see me as underweight. But everyone knows that there is something wrong.
766752 tn?1234946743 I was thinking the opposite. I was thinking that it's not a lot of food for someone in recovery as when you are in recovery your body actually typically needs more food in order to restore. I am concerned but proud of you if this is what you can get in within a day's period.
Avatar f tn Also, the control is in your hand to agree to going into the program. I currently have 16 years recovery from a lifelong eating disorder and I can't tell you how good it is to live my life free of that obsession! But I waited to get into recovery till I was much older than you. You have the rest of your life to live, but first you need to get recovery. Then you can do all the things you would like to in life!
5613711 tn?1370974671 Im 20 years old and developed anorexia at the age of 13, I never recieved any treatment but seemed to get better. I tend to go in and out of anorexia but dont realise it until friends notice my weight loss. I have always had problems with food and I have some kind of fear of eating some foods, the smell of food in general and the look of food, basically i hate eating but I do eat. I have been exercising a lot for the past 12 months I have lost over 1.
Avatar m tn can anorexia cause pain all over the body? along with dizziiness and sharp eye pain?
Avatar m tn Don't forget that muscle weighs more than fat, the scales might say you're 65kg but it's best to work out what your muscle to fat ratio is but like Nimsdb said you're BMI is 23 which is quite healthy with ideal being 21
