What Do You Think?
Posted: 02-10-06 11:41am

I find myself feeling a sense of achievment when I don't eat. The gnawing in my tummy makes me feel alive. I'm 5 ft and over 200lbs. Since jan.1 i've gone from 233 to 210. Can you really be fat and have anorexia? I eat approx. 500 calories a day except when I binge on sweets (once a week or so it feels like) i've gone days of 300 calories too. Is this an ed or just extreme dieting?

Hey. Yeah you can have anorexia but still be classed as overweight, or not look like an anorexic. You sound like your on a downwards spiral. Eventually, you will gain the weight back if you arent eating enough, because your motabolism will slow down so much. The easiest way to lose weight, is have a moderate diet and exercise. But that doesnt sound like its the problem, cause im sure youve heard that so many times. What has prompted you to want to lose this weight, and why did you chose not to eat? Hit me back .X

I needed to take control of my body& life instead of just floating along doing nothing makes nothing happen.

If you want to take control another more healthy way, I posted something for another girl on march 7. Wallflower924 or something like that was her screen name. It is on the first page of the ed forum towards the top. There is alot of writing on there, but read where I start on 3-7-06 with advice. I think it may help you too. It starts off about exercise but has other options too.
