Avatar n tn How much do you weigh? What kind of "diet" is this? What type of foods have you been eating? Are you anorexic?
Avatar f tn I even spent $100 on top notch diet pills last spring and all I did from them is gain weight. I honestly have no idea what's going on with my body. And now that my parents think I look fine they think I'm ok. So I no longer see a dietitionist or therapist. I've asked my parents if I could see them again but my mom sees no reason, also they are extremely expensive. Please I need to lose weight. I need to get back at 90 pounds but I don't know what to do.
Avatar f tn So I'm a 16 year old girl, about 5'5' and 110lbs. I'm on a calorie restricting diet and exercising a lot to lose weight. My family doesn't know and I can't talk to them about it due to circumstances i cannot discuss. My one friend who knows about this tells me I'm on the verge of anorexia and people at school are talking about me saying how skinny I'm getting. When people originally told me this I took it as a compliment, now I find it embarrassing.
Avatar n tn I do told them I was anorexic. One of the simptoms is having cold feet and fingers all the time. I told my dad I was cold and he simply said: you should eat more. these things hurt me a lot and sometimes I spend all day crying in my room. Pleez think about this, some normal sayings in life can crash the mind of your daughter. She should really get a therapist, because those people know how to handle it.

1030383 tn?1338460785 s concerning you sounds like the still small voice within you knows you are slipping into your anorexic behaviors. Listen to your own internal wisdom and seek the help you would seek if you were in your eating disorder.
Avatar f tn She is drinking gatorade for the electorlytes. She is definitely not anorexic. She had always had a good appetite until a few weeks ago. She has already been to a doctor and spent Saturday on IVs to feed her. So far tests haven't shown anything wrong. Next tests are on Tuesday.
Avatar m tn A few months ago I started to diet in order to lose weight, for purely aesthetic reasons. I'm 6'2", and started at 215 pounds. I'm now at 184 pounds, and I plan to get around 170. I reduced my calorie intake from the >2600 that I was having before to about 15-1800 a day, and have also started taking vitamin supplements. I drink water and tea (non-sweetened, no milk) throughout the day and am not dehydrated.
Avatar n tn When I was smaller I took some OTC cough syrup that purposely gave you diarrhea to cure the cold my family had. It worked and everyone who took it was no longer sick. A couple weeks ago I was vaccinated with 3 vaccines and then I took a extreme HARDCORE laxative (4 days later after my vaccination) that gave me diarrhea 7 times and which lasted for 7 hours and now I'm wondering if I flushed the dead virus before I was immunized to meningitis, hepatitis A , tdap.
Avatar f tn I'm glad you are reaching out about this. Based on what you have said in your question, I don't know if you meet all of the DSM criteria to be diagnosed as anorexic, BUT your behaviors are putting you well on your way to that diagnosis. I'm in recovery from anorexia and it started as EDNOS but very quickly turned into full blown anorexia. You say this has been going on off and on for a few months and the best advice I can offer is to get help asap.
Avatar n tn wow. Thank you. I didn't actually expect a real person to answer me... Yes, it is hard. After a year and a half of binging and purging 5 times daily, I had a seizure and finally told my mom what was going on. We couldn't afford treatment though so, although I'm recovering now, I'm doing it for myself. I haven't thrown up in 37 days. Its amazing. I eat around 500-600 calories a day though. I just want to lose the weight I put on with binging...
Avatar n tn I was once over 260 lbs. and with diet and exercise, in about 2 years was down to a size 0 and 100 lbs. Towards the end of my weight loss, I became obsessive with exercise and the scale and I became anorexic. After I got so small, my body began to gain weight with no apparent reason. I gained 7 lbs in one week! I went to numerous doctors and they ran so much tests but could never pinpoint it to anything.
Avatar n tn Last year I started Diane 35 and in a matter of 2 months with no change to diet or activity I had gained about 10 pounds overnight. I know that is common, so I tweeked my diet and upped my gym sessions...lost a ton of weight, and for some reason I kept on loosing even when I started eating like crap. I originally started taking it for acne by the way and I was 17 at the time of taking it. Acne cleared and I dropped weight after 4 months, I reached 100 pounds.
Avatar n tn The problem is my body has started storing calories because of my diet and going back to a regular diet is making me fat at a fast pace. What can I do to prevent regaining all this weight that I have lost?
4742865 tn?1358632836 Hi there. I'm 54 years young and have suffered from basically all of the eating disorders for the last 30 years. I was a very overweight child, went on first 'diet' at 17, 'diet' worked so well I ended up anorexic and hospitalised. I've suffered every ED since then but mostly the last five years I've been severly restricting. Like you only one meal a day and that's usually veg soup, that's all.
Avatar n tn It depends. When someone is in the depressive phase of bipolar they might tend to overeat as a form of self medication. On the other hand if she is on medication many common mood stabilizers (Lithium, Depakoate for example) and all antipsychotics have weight gain and metabolic changes that make a person want to overeat as a side effect.
Avatar f tn Try cutting starch out of your diet for a week or two. That should help you drop a couple pounds. But remember, even if you're going for a bmi of 18.5, you should never be less than around 96 pounds at your height (which is also mine) :3. Hope this helps!!
Avatar f tn I normally get my period at the beginning of every month. I still did get it at the beginning of August like always....But then I got it AGAIN at the end of August. I haven't had it this month. I'm really confused and freaked out. I don't know if this has anything to do with my eating disorder or what it even means. I am anorexic but I haven't been using diet pills much since July and I only use Laxatives as recomended. It's not like I abuse the stuff.
Avatar f tn 6 last time I saw the Dr it was 66.6 than within 6 days another kilos plus was gained I have not changed my diet other than cutting out red meat/poultry& fish I have kept a food &exercise diary for 3 years noting if anything I eat much better now .
Avatar f tn I lost 2 and a half stone in 5 months three years ago by under taking a very strict regime. I was on a low calorie diet (1000-1200 cal) whilst training hard 5 times a week. My periods stopped altogether during this time and have never returned. I have kept the weight off by continuing to exercise 5 times a week and control my calorie intake. I am 5ft1 and a healthy 8st 3 .
Avatar f tn He refuses to eat anything else. He is very thin. Can you make yourself (not by trying) anorexic by not feeding your body enough?
Avatar f tn My sister says I am anorexic. But I am not boney at all. I do a lot of walking. I love hiking and I drink a lot of water. I do eat, but not a lot. What is the ideal weight for a female my age at my height? And what are the signs and symptoms of anorexia? How do I know if I am?
Avatar n tn Hi, I'm not a parent, I'm 13. And also i do not get teased at school. But the thing is I hate wearing sleevless tops becuase some boys call me skinny and say i need to grow weight. I still haven't started puberty..But i get discharge, Anyway, I hate being called anorexic. I'm NOT anorexic but people ask me..Are you anorexic..? I'm not anorexic. My skin dosen't go through the shape of my body. I'm just really slim. What can i eat in my whole day to gain weight..
Avatar f tn Dear kaylakiwa, It would be quite difficult for me to say one way or the other whether your friend was or was not anorexic. The main criterion for being anorexic is an intense fear of gaining weight, distorted body image, body dissatisfaction and being 85% of a normal body weight. So if a person is 5’0” and her body naturally goes to 100 pounds, that person would need to be 85 pounds to be diagnosed anorexic. Some of the behaviors she reports are anorexic behaviors.
1949625 tn?1324452696 Do you have an episode of severely limited food/calorie intake in your past 5 years? This is a common problem among anorexics, or people with a severely restricted diet, and former prisoners of war - it's called "burning feet".
Avatar n tn Gender? Smoking will help you not grow taller (making you appear fatter for the same weight). Without smoking you might have the potential to easily grow another four or five inches, maybe more and become svelte and slim. At 110-115 lbs, you're at a good weight for your height. Just maybe 5 lbs generous but you're only 15, it's important to allow for grow spurts so that the most can made out of them.
