i think i need help

Pandasarecool

I know I don't eat enough, but I feel super guilty if I eat and I haven't earned it. I do 35 minutes of circuit training before I allow myself to eat lunch, and I try to walk before supper. I have school, so I am not super active, so i feel if i don't move a lot, i shouldn't eat. and i feel really miserable on rest days.

Food is fuel. And food should be enjoyed, not make you feel guilty. When you go without eating, it can actual slow down your metabolism and make your body store fat, because it thinks it's starving. Instead of thinking you need to workout to eat, remind yourself that you need to eat to fuel your workouts. If these feelings of guilt impede your ability to function and/or seem unable to control, it might be a good idea to talk to a professional who can help you get to the root of the problem. Good luck and keep us posted. Rooting for you!

I can tell you've been struggling with this for a while. No matter how many times we tell you you need food just to keep your vital organs running you just can't seem to really grasp it. Just sitting there, breathing, thinking, blinking your eyes and pumping blood uses calories so you EARN calories in your sleep!

In all seriosness I do think it's time you talk to a professional about this the amount of guilt you are talking about for the number of calories you normally eat is not normal. Please talk to a doctor before you do real damage to yourself.
