How Much Do You Weigh? Posted: 11-19-05 13:33pm
How much do you weigh? Before you think
you need to lose, make sure you are really
needing to, not just "thinking" you need
to. I know I felt fat after treatment
going from 53 pounds to over 100 in 3
months. I thought I would just lose 5
pounds but I started and it didn;t stop
there. Within a few months I had lost 20
pounds and it was hard to stop.

I weigh from 88-90 now.....But im not that
tall......And its like all the fat has
accumilated nowhere but my stomach.....I
cort of cant seem to get myself to starve
anymore..I know I shouldnt...But the fact
that I dont have the courage to, just
scares the hell out of me......Its like I
cant lose weight the healthy way and the
lbs only drop when I do it the unhealthy
way

Sorry, You Don;t Need to Posted: 11-19-05 22:42pm
I'm sorry but I really don't think you
need to lose any weight. I know you may
feel fat and all but even if you were like
4'10" tall, your'e still underweight. I
suffer from anorexia and bulimia and I
know how you feel. I find myself grossing
out over my recent 10 pound weight gain so
I don't look at myself in the mirror
anymore(naked) and I only weigh myself
once a day as soon as I wake up. I don't
really know what to say. I am not
recovered myself so I guess I shouldn't be
giving others rebukes for wanting to lose
even though they are underweight. When I
feel really fat I just go for a nice long
walk. It helps.

I Understand. Posted: 11-20-05 13:34pm
I really understand. When my weight fell
to 53 pounds, I was commited to a locked
facility against my will and everything
was taken away from me. No smokes, no
coffee, no exersize, no t.V. No anything.
Because it was a ward for those who are
in danger of themselves or others, I
wasn't even allowed my crossstich or
sewing. I was put on bedrest and told I
would stay there until I gained 50 pounds.
They forced me to eat 3,500 calories
every day even though I had stayed under
60 pounds for 3 years and used to a diet
of only 300-500 calories a day. It was
hell. I can say that is the worst thing
that has ever happened to me in my life.
It was only 3 months and I had gained the
full 50 pounds and let me tell you, I felt
like the hugest flabbiet ugliest person
alive. I cried and cried every day and
resolved to lose it promptly as soon as I
got out. (of corse I didn't tell the
doctor that) every one said I looked great
but inside I was being eaten alive. I
lost some of the weight but not all
(actually glad I didn't realising that i'd
probably die before getting back down that
low) but guess how long it took me? 2
years to lose 30 pounds!!!!! And I just
found out I have low thyroid and I have
actually put on 10 pounds in 2 weeks and
even though I probably eat 800 calories a
day or less, I am still gaining...I am
angry and I feel fat too. Like I said, I
go fort a walk and I power walk at least 2
hours a day. Hypothyroidism sucks. I
can't lose any weight unless I eat nothing
and even then I bet i'd only lose a pound
or two at the most per week. Hope you get
feeling better, and by the way, the more
you diet, the slower your metabolism gets,
I just don;t want you to end up like me.
I love food and I am upset that I have to
purge my meals just so I don't gain 5
pounds a week.

Oh my goodness....I am so sorry to hear
about your thyroid and all that you have
been through.....Yesterday my mom bought
some jeans which were sposed to be 28
inches but was in a small cut, so it was
around 25, and she couldnt wear it so she
asked me to try it out....Then I tried it
and it fit perfectly...When she saw it she
went "oh my god!! You can wear it???"
immediately I started screaming that I was
fat and crying and thought of just killing
myself........Thinkin of it still makes me
cry.......Why must I gothrough this?
