Well yes by changing routines you can loose weight and maintain but it doesn't mean the set point is changed mainly because you still have to restrict to maintain, by counting calories or lowering portions, by deprieving your body and mind. There is a difference between a set point and maintainance with restrictions. By…

I do believe there is a set point. I believe your body knows the best when to send hunger signals and of course everyone should respond to them. In my opiion a natural set point is the one where you maintin weight efortlessly, eating all food groups, no restrictions etc. By avoiding hunger signals, by restricting you can…

My purg method was overexercising and fasting but yes i was stuck in that cycle for years. I wish i could give you some proper advice. The hardest thing is not to purge after binge i guess, when you manage to go through that it'll get easier. For me usually it was 2 weeks of overexercising and fasting after a binge but…

I live in Serbia, there is no support system here. Anorexia is not really taken seriously where i am. It is very uncommon and eating disorders in general aren't. I don't have nutritiona support. 1200 is not my goal, i don't have a goal, i just want to maintain a normal and balanced lifestyle. I would be happy to consume…

I know but now that i am a normal BMI i don't think anyone would really get me seriously. I don't feel "good enough" = "thin enough" to be classified as anorexic therefore i don't think they would accept me. I wish i have gone inpatient when i weighed 40 kg and not now that i feel like a whale.

Yes, i am trying to "just not eat as much" but here i am, finishing my breakfast that containd 5000 calories. It is harder then restricting, starving and overexercising ever eas. Than i was so deep in anorexic thoughts that i absolutely didn't care about anything else because i had control of that but now i feel so out of…

I would mostly prefer to go to inpatient treatment in hospital and sort of "let them heal me" but now that i am no longer at such a low weight i am afraid no one will take me seriously. I weighed 40 kg about 3-4 weeks ago but now i jumped to 55 kg by this overeating. I am considering going to a mental institution but i am…

Oh and i just want to thank you all for replaying. I am so grateful really, i never had anyone really to listen to me and i have no one now so i find this very supportive. If there is a way to thank you all just let me now. I am so grateful to see that people actually do care, this has literally made me cry.

Thank you so much. That is exactly what i am concered with. I have reached a healthy weight (not just the low side of normal BMI) which is why i don't want this to become a habit for me. I do believe when you both physically and psychologically deprieve yourself it is just a normal respond to overeat but it can SO easily…

I tried doing that and got the nutritionist to make me a meal plan. It just didn't wrkout and i was craving MUCH more food and also i never have enough ingredients to prepar those meals, it is quite expensive to buy healthy foods. It wasn't a problem since i was eating so little before, so i did buy healthy food but since…

People keep saying that in recovery it is normal to overeat at the beginning but i beg to differ. I don't feel it is normal in any way to overeat at this rate. I have started the recovery a month ago and at first ate sort of normally, perhaps it was still too little but after awhile when i reahed a stable 45 kg i starte…

Date of binge : from October the first till October the fifth Time of binge : 5 days Location of binge : Home Body language during binge (e.g. Sitting, standing, slumped, tense) : Sitting Company kept (alone, friends, family, partner etc) : Alone Approximate calories consumed during binge : 8000 a day The amount of time…

How did you get rid of it? I don't have any money for those things right now. I do have a therapist, my moms friend is doing it for free.I wasn't even diagnosed but i weighed 88 lbs and i am 168 cm which put me to BMI of 14 and in these two weeks i have gained 10 kg, i know it seems impossible but i did eat 8000 calories…

3 of those and an apple = 554 calories

I have the same stats as you and i did about the same thing for a year and developed anorexia. Loosing your period is really serious and you need to talk to a doctor about it, you could devlop so many health issues if you don't adress this. My suggestion is to talk to a ntritionist if you have that option, i was diagnosed…

I have been diagnosed with PCOS an i didn't have problem with loosing weight t first. I was actually anorexic but once i started recovering cravings got so bad due to PCOS that i developed compulsive overeating but what helped me is cutting out sugar and processed stuff and simple carbs. i don't have any other ideas, try…

Yes, i think it is in our minds too which is why i wanted to make sure :) I had a lot of friends that gained weight on birth control but i think it was mainly due to them knowing that it is sometimes a side effect so they let themselves indulge.

This is topic is so fun. Combined with me being bored i just read through almost ll the comments :blushing:

I did talk to them and they said weight fluctations are possibl and apettite changes. But i am looking for someone who has been through it. They aren't really concered about weight gain because i am at the low end of normal BMI so it is okay for me to gain in their eyes but i am not okay with it and i was just wondering…

I am also 18 and would love to offer you some support :flowerforyou: I could also use some since i practically lost all my friends last year due to an ED. I am often here so i will always reply to your messages :smile:

I have tried it to maintin with it and had great results at the beginning but you have to be emotionally stable to do it. I then had a really rough patch and mixed intuition with emotional eating. I think it depends based n your personality. I am prone to all ED's so emotional overeating just gradually entered my life and…

I am not sure if he is making this up because i used to eat less then 600 calories and do 3 hour cardio and an hour of weight lifting a day and i was doing it for a year thinking it will be for lifetime but it is definitely not healthy way and only will backfire. It is a great diet plan if you want to destroy your body and…

Yes, i have this obeese friend and she eats one cookie a day :laugh:

An what is this in your diary? You ate 1g of a medium banana? o.O

No that is not sustainable. That is how my anorexia developed. That is WAY too low and unhealthy and you may even keep it for awhile but it is neither healthy nor a long term solution because eventually you will put it back on if not more. I know you don't believe me now, because i didn't believe it either. Because i felt…

I will give it a try, thank you. It is good to have a back up plan in case i do get a "binge" attack in those two weeks. Although when i made my first "week" goal i managed a week without it and when i made 10 days i managed 10 days but it is the afterwards that gets me.

I know, i said "10 days binge free" so i binged on 11th and it is awful. I am so duscouraged and disguisted that i binged SO much. I think every time how i'll limit my next binge or binge on something healthy but i always end up piling more and more empty calories.

But i don't reckognize weather it is a binge or not before it is too late. I think i am about to have a normal breakfast and the next thing you know i am buying junk food all over the town thinking it is not a binge, just me enjoying sweets.

I am also a psychology student :D Yes, i do that too and i seem to reach my goal weight then binge,binge and binge. Ugh i am trying to last at least these two weeks binge free. Perhaps it'll be easier after that.

Thank you so much for the support. I can't change the gym because that is my college gym and the only one i can go for free. I usually keep super busy since i work at night and go to college by day. But during the summer break is when the binge cyrcle started happening and i had to take the previous week off since i was…
