So i've had probs with eating since i
started (unconsciously) overeating at 11
to deal with my mum's cancer. My highest
weight ever was 190lbs and my lowest 85lbs
and i'm 5'7" (173cm).
Last year i 'recovered' from anorexia and
reachd wat i now see as the perfect
weight/shape for me of 135lbs meaning i
was a uk 10 (US 6) dress size. However i
soon gaind loads of weight thru
chew/spitting, binging and purging so i
currently weigh around 180lbs.
I stopped my 'disordered' eating some
months ago n now i eat 1400 - 1600 cals
and do some form of exercise each day as
advised by the dietician as any less wud
resort in my body storing more fat because
it fears another famine. The problem is i
am still gaining weight.
I am so depressed rite now that i have
actually thort of killing myself but i
didn't want any1 2 hav 2 deal with it. I
don't recognise myself anymore physically
and emotionally and i need to know how i
can stop gaining and start losing again.
I am aware that anorexia has slowd my
metabolism but surely there's a way to
lose weight agen - i don't want 2 b
anorexic agen just a uk size 10 or even a
12 (i think the US equivalent is eight)
agen.
Please somebody tell me things will happen
b4 i do somethin stupid.
sorry for the long post n thanks 4 reading
if u stuck with it

Well, there can be answers, but now you
should think about yourself and the
present day, not in what happened. If you
feel better, don't think at all. I'm sure
you can find a way out of this. Really!
What about hobbies?

Thankyou so much for all your posts/help
I am still seeing a dietician and follow
all her advice exactly but i'm still
gaining weight.
I'm in my first year of uni studying
english lit so i spend a lot of time
reading but i can't seem 2 stop these
thoughts goin around in my head. As long
as i am the size i am then the thoughts
will continue - it's like anorexia again,
i spend most of the time thinkin about my
body and how fat i am, exept now there IS
evidence there 2 support these thoughts.
I'm looking in2 acupunture and considering
takin supplements like kelp and chromium 2
see if they do anything - do you think
it's worth it?
Thank you again

Hi :*
Well, if you're seeing a doctor, it's
better for you to tell him\her what you're
feeling and thinking, right? Maybe that
plan isn't the best for you and he\she has
to rearrange it.
