Avatar f tn The Eating disorder has nothing to do with Your weight it should not go on Your current weight, overweight people and people at a normal weight can be anorexic and bulimic and have other eating disorders while someone underweight can experience overeating. I understand what You're saying about doctors sometimes not knowing it but it is not right perhaps try finding a therapist You're able to talk to who recognizes the problems You're having.
2215229 tn?1339342648 s because of past trauma or self loathing and depression and you need to deal with that before even thinking of recovery. Recovery is impossible without tackling why you had the ED in the first place, what you were trying to use it to.cope with. Therapy. Very important.
Avatar f tn I've had anorexia nervosafor almost three years, and I'm in recovery. Is it possible to gain 5 lbs in 3 days? I was not stuffing my face or sitting on my ***, I'm just hoping the scale was off because this is giving me a lot of anxiety.
Avatar f tn Don't worry, weight gain can be a sign that you are recovering! I gained 15 lbs in the beginning of my recovery from bulimia and then as I started eating meals and snacks regularly (that I figured out with my nutritionists help) and stopped using bulimic symptoms my weight balanced out to my body's needs.
687561 tn?1238400426 I consider myself a recovering anorexic. I am 22 and I spent nearly 4 months in a facility to help me overcome my eating/weight issues. I'm honest about everything... I know I still have a long mountain to climb as far as becoming completely healthy but I am really working on myself and I am following a healthy Raw Food diet and I exercise everyday. I love babies and children and I always dreamt that someday I'd be a mom... but I have NEVER had a period.
766752 tn?1234946743 hi i am 16 year old and i am starting to recover from anorexia my weight is 6 stone 2 but i keep feeling bloated all the time like when i have anything to eat is that normal when recovering from anorexia and what kind of snacks could i have because i don't like any fruits.
Avatar n tn Anorexia is an eating disorder where the victim refuses to eat in the fear of gaining weight. They see themselves as being overly fat, when really they are just underweight. The victim may sometimes purge if forced to eat. A person with Anorexia cannot cope with it themselves. They require counsling and doctors to help them through it. There is always recovery though. I have a friend right now that is suffering from Anorexia Nervosa.
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?
1479003 tn?1287429481 It's very hard. I didn't start getting recovery until I was able to let go obsessing on the weight. It's hard to do without help. Good for you on seeking help, and let us know how it goes.
15146534 tn?1438723243 Straight to the point: How far underweight is a person when they are hospitalized for anorexia typically? I would like to avoid that ever happening. Im 19. 5'6 and use to weigh 130. But now I'm 108. Its hard for me to admit I have anorexia, because I just don't think I'm bad enough... My doctors took note the other month that was was loosing weight and underweight, and she knows I have an ED. But luckily she didn't worry much.
773368 tn?1235322140 I've had anorexia for about 2 years now. I've been in and out of hospitals. This past year I've had the opportunity to recover by myself, or else I'd be going right back to the hospital. I was maintaining a "danger zone" weight for 6 months. My doctor was finally fed up and told me if I didn't gain any weight, then she'll have no choice but to put me back into a hospital. I was like, **** THAT.

Avatar m tn She has lost an extreme amount of weight. A couple of years ago when this all began, she was losing weight quickly and couldn't eat anything unless it was pureed. Without going into all the details, she presented all the signs of anorexia and still does. She's been in and out of the hospital many times and near death. She and her family continue to tell everyone that it's LD.
Avatar f tn I have been in a nasty cycle of restrictive and purging behaviour since I was around 13, but in the past two years I have been primarily restricting, resulting in my weight dropping significantly. It has taken over my life...a bittersweet existance where I now hate the eating disorder, yet cannot live without it. My friends do not know the severity of my condition as I am embarrassed. My family force me to eat...they make it sound easy.
Avatar f tn ve met in treatment), most people who struggle with anorexia or EDNOS all set a certain goal weight but once we reach that goal weight, we always set another one. For someone struggling with an eating disorder no weight is ever good enough. For me, it was always "oh I'll just lose another 5 pounds and then stop" but I never stopped. It was almost like the thinner I became, the more I saw myself as fat. I'm 37 right now but my last treatment stay was when I was 28.
1379808 tn?1279327710 Hey Doctor! I need some real help ay!! I have OCD which I think have led to my terrible eating habits.

Anyways my mother has terrible eating habits she eats basically nothing and I have adapteded to this the only difference is I am replacing food with non-nutrious objects such as plastic, paper, cardboard ect.
Avatar f tn ll gain weight, and try to understand if your underweight you will gain some weight to be healthy. A meal plan may also make you initally gain weigh but in the long term you will loose that weight if you stay commited to your meal plan, and moderated excersise. If i had only stayed commited to mine i wouldn't be going back to a treatment center this year.
Avatar n tn I started anorexia recovery 6 days ago. I'm 15 years old, female, 5"3-5"4, sedentary, only exercise I get is going to school. Every since my first day of recovery, I have been binge eating really really bad. I binge on sweets, carbs, and some salty foods. I can't stop, it makes me so frustrated that I start crying and it really makes me want to relapse.
869670 tn?1239964618 t let the title fool you, OA is for people with all different kind of eating disorders and is a great source of support from people who understand. I have been in recovery from my eating disorder for 15 years. You can do it!
785277 tn?1244324809 No, I mean I am just a little confused maybe. So you are asking how to stick with one disorder right? That seems a little anti-recovery and I just wouldn't want to hinder your recovery, or help your eating disorder get worse. What I can say is that nobody's eating disorders are alike. Everybody seems to have different behaviors, and it's not like everybody just picks one or the other and sticks with it. My suggestion would be to maybe channel this in another direction.
Avatar f tn s good that you realized what was going on! i also lost my period when i lost weight. even after gaining weight back, it still took some time for my period to come back. so if you're eating right and not putting too much stress on your body from extreme work outs, then i am sure it will come back very soon considering it wasn't gone for long.
