My metabolism used to be really screwed up to the point like you that I couldnt lose weight unless i barely ate. I know this makes no sense but I had gotten sick and couldnt work out and had to increase my cals and I gained at first but now my metabolism is in overdrive. Just getting through the first part.

Well if you purge I am going to say yes that you have an ed. Why are you "skinny"?(your words) not eating enough, purging,exercising? Well think you are in the right place.
-
YEAH YOU DONT EVEN WANT TO KNOW WHAT MY BMI IS BUT I WANT TO RECOVERY..NOT ALWAYS THAT EASY THOUGH. LIVED LIKE THIS FOR 25 YEARS SO IT ISNT AN EASY THING TO GIVE UP EVEN THOUGH IT JUST SEEMS TO CAUSE ME MISERY AND PAIN(FOR THE MOST PART)

wELL IT IS A SICKNESS SOMETIMES MY THOUGHTS CHANGE FROM MINUTE TO MINUTE ABOUT LOSING WEIGHT. YES I WANT TO GET BETTER BUT I HAVE THIS DRIVE INSIDE ME TO LOSE..LOSE MORE AND KEEP LOSING..NO MATTER HOW UNHEALTHY. BUT THEN I HAVE THOSE MOMENTS WHERE I WANT TO FIGHT LIKE HELL TO GET RID OF THIS DISEASE. IT HAS RUINED MY LIFE,…

Well really if you were over weight than you have or had an eating disorder to. Just not the same as mine..I didnt eat any....Is it controlling your life?In a bad harmful way. How are you losing weight..is it in a healthy way? Are you taking pi;;s, starving yourself, exercising for hours upon hours, throwing up after you…

Well I lost my wife 2 years ago. Unexpectedly and my ed became very bad. Still trying to get over it. Hospitalized many time. Do you see a therapist? It is really hard and dont know if it gets easier or if you just learn to cope better. We toghther 15 years. Widowed at 39 WTF???So sorry for your loss...
-
I agree with you. I also think that once someone has an Ed they should get intense help right away regaurdless of their weight. Why wait until their bmi is 15. the sooner the better. As for leaving school and work..that depends on the person. If you cant take care of your self at school and ned to be with your family then…

Side effects from my ed...where to start. From 25 years of damage I have really hurt my body. Almost died 2 times, perforated my bowel. Ended up with a colostomy(a bag on the out side of your stomach you poop in) it was reversed. I have no large intestine as I ruined mine from laxatives. So now I am in the bathroom…
-
We welcome..but guess wht??Even when you are in recovery you are in control. They might tell you how many calories you need but you are in control of what you eat. The mood swings are because your body isnt getting what it needs. Just somthing to think about.
-
So proud of you!! Keep fighting cause you can do it! Told you ..you have to get better so you can start kicking me in the *kitten*!
-
Good thought but do you really think once it is healed and the Ed voices start that they will care if your tongue is pierced? If you want it like someone said..try it as a reward.. Hey at least you are trying to think of thing to stop the behaviors. Have to work on the feelings you are avoiding when you are doing those…
-
Great Idea! Well I like that I am a caring, compassionate person who would do anything for anybody. Boy in terms of body....going to be hard but I guess I have really nice eyes(they change colors depending on what I am wearing), my finger nails(for whatever reason they grow like crazy and are really strong) But quite…
-
no I have to disagree when my BMI was 11.8 I didnt have periods (or have I ever since) so it does affect fertility And yes they are not a 100% accurate..they are a guide for most people. If you have a large amount of muscle mass you have other ways to judge whether you are at a healthy weight or not. Personally right now…
-
Yeah my bill for my last hospital stay was over$100,000 and I had to pay $900. Might not seem like a lot to some but when you ave no sick time you have no income either. It is not right that people cant get the treatment that they need. My insurance company will let me go to this hospital unlimited number of times but will…
-
dont listen to those people who tell you that you dont have a problem...you do and it will just get worse. The sooner you deal with it the better your chances of success. Weight doesnt matter..labels shouldnt matter. What matters is you are doing damage to your body. Is there anyone you can talk to about this. I have had…
-
ignorance! Hope I dont see anyone ever wearing something like this b/c they would never wear it again after I was done! People are a..holes sometimes
-
Well I think the inpatient here is different than where you live. But this is what I went through. It was a locked unit. all the bathrooms are locked you cant go alone, the toliets dont flush(they had a key to flush them). Not allowed to stand up for to long or any kind of exercise. Had visiting hours but my friends and…
-
Now I am ana..mostly restict but purge when I feel like I have had to much. Afraid to eat my number of calories that I am supposed to because that seems like a binge. Used to work out alot and now I dont have it in me. Lately most days are around 400 cals and up to 1000 on good days..if I dont purge on those days! I was…
-
Well not to scare you but I was up to 3600 calories and was not gaining. The bloateing feeling will go away but it takes a while. They would give us anti gas pills in the hospital(I still take them) I dont exercise but that is because I am to week to do it. The sooner you deal with it the better chances for success! So…
-
Wow!! Great to see all the people on here!(Well not great that everyone is plagued with this, but nice we have people we can relate to and even help). My name is Theresa.I am a nurse although I am only working 4 hour shifts for the last 2 years b/c of my ED. Although next month I am going to try to work full time again.…

dont restrict throught out the day..That is just setting yourself up. Get to hungry and say oh what the hel and then binge. Distract yourself..do something nice for someone(or even yourself), go for a walk im somebody on MFP. Dont agree with mohdksa..it doesnt always win. I have not binge in years..now I just dont eat and…

To damn long!!! Well started out with bulimia when I was 16 (prob more EDNOS, but they didnt have that label back then) Hospitalized a couple of times. Things would get a little better but never completely. Then about 5 years ago the weight just flew off of me so now I am anorexic with purging. Now I am 41 so that is 25…
-
Wow what a turn around..YEAHHHH..thinking of the positives no matter how big or small. Just in that alone you have come along way Milli. So very proud of you. Have to be in the right frame of mind if you are going to beat this..looks like you are on your way. Well my successes:I have prob eaten over 800 calories the last 2…
-
Sorry to hear about your sister I cant even imagine...guess I shouldnt get so defensive when people keep worring that I am going to die. It is a horrible disease and I am sorry for your loss. Guess I should be a little more thoughtful of other peoples feelings too.
-
You can add me as a friend if you would like..I have suffered with anorexia And bulimia for 25 years and have been trying very hard for the last 2 years to get better. You can post about ED. (as long as it isnt pro people dont mind) I have many people as friends who support me here who dont even have them. Having BPD is…

Well ensure and baby food are high in calories, but what about sugar free carnation instant breakfast mixed with a protein powedr. Personally I find it easier to drink(I have major GI problems) Have they checked you for celiac? Are you taking lacabacillius at all(pro biotics) These are some things that help me. I do the…
-
Actually one of the new weight loss drugs they are looking at is wellbutrin and topamax mixed together. My dr has me on the wellbutrin and I buy my own topamax. I notice a big difference. Also a little ritalin helps too!
-
Yes I know I am not quite right but I would love to be able to fit in a girls(kids clothes are cheaper and have adjustable waists usually) size 10. Prob will be to short as the 12's I am in usually are. But I am 5 10 too! But I am never happy when I get to the weight or the size I think I want to be either. I wish we…
-
Gaining weight..I need to gain, but I am afraid that once I do it wont stop. also afraid that I left something on after I have left the house and it will catch on fire and my animals will die. And cant forget this one..somebody will break into my house and attack me, torture me and then cut me up into little pieces. (Guess…
-
I totally agree with eating more calories..at least 1400 and exercising. You might gain weight initialy (b/c your body thinks you are going to starve it again so it holds on to everything) but that is short lived. You also might not gain. When I increase my calories I actually lose weight. Burns it up so everybody is…
