I try to follow healthy eating guidelines but fear of getting fat. I was a fat kid growing up and obesity runs in my family. I am scared because a few years ago I got deathly thin at 75lbs. I know I am too skinny but I fear not be able to control myself after I get to a healthy weight. My father weighs over 370lbs and a lot of my uncles are over 300lbs. I need advice. I know that I need to eat better for my health and longevity of life.
I believe that I may be on my way to an eating disorder. I am 34 years old, 5'3" and I weigh 107. I am very petite and always have been. I haven't truely ever worked out, I've just been very very lucky. Even after having two kids, I lost all the weight without doing much. From as far back as I can remember I have always had problems eating if I was overly stressed or emotional about something. During those times, I will not eat.
Is anyone familiar with binge eating disorder? I have been struggling with what I believe is binge eating disorder. It has gotten out of control and I am at a loss as to how to stop it. I have gained a horrible amount of weight and am miserable. I just want to regain control and able to cope in a healthy way...
Thanks guys yeah I do eat healthy trying to stick to 1200 calories a day and eating healthy but then As soon as I go over I feel gross! I know you cant get skinny from being bulimic. It's like i Iike having control what goes in or out of my body. It's like the strangest most random obsession to be skinny? I feel more helpless now then when I was a drug addict. I can't tell anyone they would never understand. Mangel that's interesting about the cardio thing.
My favorite things to snack on are pretzels with hummus, grapes, popcorn, pineapple chunks, deviled eggs, and then chicken noodle soup is always nice. (You can even get can pineapple and put it in the freezer for an hour or so.. frozen pineapple is delicious!) tuna with crackers, etc.. Do you cook? You should look on pinterest for healthy food/snack ideas.
I dealt with bulimia 7years ago and always hated the shame that came with it.. I feel for you and pray you get control of it. For me..
I'm 14 and i've been suffering from Anorexia & Bulimia for a little over a year now. As much as i don't like eating, due to the disorders, i still wanna keep as healthy as i can. I do eat things i think are safe at times that appeal to me..i was wondering if there are any healthy low calorie foods you recommend? The more food i feel comfortable eating the more i will recover.
My doctor said that she thinks my weight is completely normal for a person of my activeness, and my parents make sure I eat healthy. However, they are still concerned about me. My sister does have an eating disorder, and maybe some of that transfers over to me. My periods come and go very irregularly though, which they attribute to my low weight. However, when I was reading the articles about it, they seemed to refer to people who have unhealthily achieved a low weight.
I am TERRIFIED of gaining that much with this baby to the point i have cut back on my portion sizes as well as snack on healthy items vs eating meals. I have lost 10 lbs this pregnancy because of being terrified of gaining too much.
How can i get over this? Please do not judge. I am afraid my eating disorder i had in high school is rearing its ugly head again.
Look up "the full plate diet" it's really NOT a diet, but healthy eating. That's what I do, all it is, is a high fiber diet eating lots of whole grains (brown rice, wheat bread, oatmeal) fruits, vegetables and water.
Anyone else having problems eating healthy??
I try to eat healthy snacks during the day so I can have dessert at night. Key word is try. I have a massive sweet tooth.
Eating healthy is next to impossible for me. Saying to the fact that I'm 4'11 and post pregnancy I was 103. I ate like I had a bottomless pit. Now that I'm pregnant I find it hard to change eating habits and it's worse because I'm hungry every hour. I'm trying , but good lord it's hard !
