I hate to admit it but I love the control part of it...so many things in life you can not control, but I can control what goes in my mouth. The bad thing is I ave no control over the negative effects that it does to my body, unless of course I just eat that is. The other thing with eating disorders is people use them to…

Well sorry to burst your bubble, but I do the knee thing with the shirts too(works better when they are damp) and I am underweight! lol

I lost a ton when I was put on ritalin which is the same type of med. Eventually it should all even out as your body gets used to it. But you also have to make yourself eat even though you are not hungry..dont want to end up slowing your metaolism down.

sugar free popciles or even some of the new gum that is out....key lime pie kind and others. Sometimes I eat diet bread, toast it, spray it with parkey butter no cal spray and sprinkle equal and cinamon on it.........even grab a flavored water will help too
-
Well dont know if this is true, but I noticed all my thin co workers drank milk everyday..so I tried it and it helped me. Also drink a big glass of water before you eat. Eat bulky foods to fill you up..salads and vegy. Kepp carrots and celery sticks accessable so when you want something you can just grab them instead of…

Kuddos to you...it is a very tough disease to beat and I agree you need to have people who are helping you be knowledgable in this area. Stick with it...I am here if you have any questions.........:heart:

Anorexia isnt all about the food..it is a control thing to. But do you think you are fat even though others tell you you are not? Are you obsessed with counting calories, refuse to maintain a body weight of at least 85%. Do your thought with food, number on the scale and how you look affect your entire life. Why are you…
-
my diet. told me it doesnt really matter b/c a calorie is a calorie no matter when you eat it. Heck I eat when I get up in the middle of the night to let the dogs out and I havent gained............But if you have gerd (acid reflux) you shouldnt eat and then lay down b/c the acid can come up the throat easier
-
maybe your MIL has issues too! Not so easy to get OVER IT! Have been trying for 24 years to get over it!
-
With me it is because I am anorexic..no matter how much I weigh or how bones are sticking out I still think I am fat...so that could be one reason. I dont do it to put others down..actually I really dont care what other people look like. I like them for who they are. Now with that being said why cant I do that with myself?…
-
I know what you mean..I can wear some girls sizes, boys sizes and some womans sizes. But that bad thing for me is I freak when I think a size is to big..then I dont want to eat. What the hell is the difference between a 00 and a 0 anyway. I hate buying close. But even mens pants that go buy waist size depending on the cut…

Thanks for educating people! I suffer with both anorexia and bulimia for 24 years now. Have been in and out of treatment so many tomes I cant count. And have severly damaged my body to the point of almost dying a couple of times. It is a horrible disease and the more aware people are about it the sooner it can be caught.…

Question for you guys...How come if someone post a pic that poeple think the person is underweight is offensive, but if someone were to weigh 800 lbs would it be the ok. I had my pic up. In my head it is one of my fatter pics and it bothered somebody so I took it off. Yeah i am one of those skinny girls that you were…
-
Did you lose weight for him to begin with? If so then that was for the wrong reasons. You need to do what is going to make you feel good about yourself and not worry about others. As long as you are being healthy that is.... Tell him that yiu are not that other person and well...GET OVER IT>>THIS IS ABOUT YOU NOT…
-
Not all do it (make you gain weight)but I take wellbuterin now and it doesnt really help with the depression by itself either. Have you talked with your doctor about it? Good luck I know how frustrating it is...not sure what is worse being depressed and anorexic or happy and weighing more..............:grumble: lol
-
No dont agree with this because when I stopped taking my prozac I lost over100lbs and didnt change my eating. I was basically a fat anorexic but nobody knew because of my weight! they mess with your metabolism.
-
Well I tried it because I am secerly depressed and all of the anti depressants that are not supposed to make you gain weight cause me to sweat really bad. Besides Wellbutrin. So it helps with my mood but I swear it makes me hungry..which is ok cause I need to gain not lose. I know I am not supposed to take it if I am on…
-
Makes me less hungry and it must do something because whenever I am in the hospital to gain weight they wont let us have it! lol The sugar free kind that is!
-
well said!
-
Well I have an eating disorder so there is not much I havent tried but taking laxatives was the worst b/c it just about killed me..over 60 a day for years till my bowel perforated. Sad to sad woke up from surgery and wondered how much weight I lost from them removing my entire large intestine...until I saw the colostomy…
-
you say you are addicted to food? Why is it that you are eating? What is it that you are avoiding? Have you ever been in counseling? Or what about oa?
-
I have to say I was surpised when i saw peoples food diaries and saw all the junk food they ate. I thought everyone had basically cut that stuff out, but instead they just ate less of other things. The reason I was looking at peoples diaries was I was tring to see what healthy people eat to get a better understanding for…
-
I agree wit you b/c of what my dietician said..she told me that basically we are getting more muscle we are making our muscle fibers we have bigger and by doing that they burn more energy than fat...also takes more cals to keep muscles too. That is why weight lifters consume so many cals
-
it depends if I was sleeping I log the next day..if I had not been to bed I put it for that day
-
personally when I was weighing myself after ANYTHING I put into my mouth.that was obsessive...as long as it doesnt affect your whole day(mood) then go for it..It can give you a better understanding of your body to. For example if you have more sodium one day you might see the effects the next day...but hey congrat on…
-
No I dont esp since I am struggling with anorexia right now..I have had this disease for 20 plus year and would not wish it on my worst enemy. What these girls do not understand is once you get to a really low body weight your chemicals in your brain change and those thoughts are really hard to ccontrol. This has cost me…
-
diet bread. lettuce, cuccumbers, celery, carrots, squash, apples,spray butter, nutra sweet and powder sugar free drinks and lots of ensure. Unfortunately this is what I eat everyday!
-
I dont exercise anymore(not in the last year or so) and have lost
-
yes watch your sodium intake but I also heard from Dr Oz that taking Magnessium helps plus anti gas medications such as mylicon helps some. Aslo are you eating a lot of high fiber foods they can do it to.
