Let me say it's not all in your head, if your restricting at all you can very well have symptoms, anxiety being a symptom of a starved brain! did you know that you dont have to be underweight to be starved? i know its a vicious cycle, anxiety loss of appetite, less food intake, more anxiety from the lack of food (your…

Thankyou, all of you are right. it is hard. I check because i have dropped to 64 and once i seen that, that instilled the fear in me that i will drop lower because of the symptoms i get. I am seeing a dietitian who specializes in diabetes and eating disorders i got pretty lucky there. met with he once so far hoping to come…

I was told its from being calorie deficient and that its NOT reactive hypoglycemia, but i feel that it is indeed that because i will start with a blood sugar of 80, eat my 1/2 cup of ice cream add peanut butter in it to soften the blow lol rise to 97-104 at 1 hour after and drop to 72 at 2 hours after. im not sure what…

I definitely have anxiety, I'm actually meeting with my doc next week to discuss therapy options. I am in therapy with a regular counselor but i need a psychologist who specializes in treating anxiety disorders. my therapist is great but talk therapy isnt good enough for me anymore. i need some cbt to work through my…

I am definitely not pro ed. i joined a support group and it breaks my heart that people actually restrict intentionally. or think they are ugly, or fat, disgusting etc. it really really tears me up. I am someone who wants to gain. I believe all shapes and sizes are beautiful and i dont care what weight i end up at as long…

Thankyou everyone! my eating disorder was unintentional brought on by stress and being too po'd at the world and life situations to have an appetite lol. The only ways in which i restrict is by fear of my blood sugar going low if i get the wrong combination of foods in one sitting. I am sure the lows are due to me being…

My blood pressure does go low! i ranged from 90/58 - 126/76 I feel so unsteady in my legs when the weak spells happen, im not sure which is causing it, i mean i suppose the bp could feel like low blood sugar. i cant stand very long or walk around long when it kicks up. im eating plenty of salt, fats, cholesterol starting…

Thankyou for reply, my a1c was normal doc said no diabetes, I haven't been diagnosed with hypoglycemia but dietitian mentioned that my numbers are awfully low after just eating and put it off to me eating 1500 calories a day or under for a long time which caused starvation and ultimately weight loss bmi of 17.

see thats what i thought.. protein/ fat...dietitian actually said to eat ice cream before bed.. she does specialize in diabetes also and she seemed certain my hypo is from " starvation" lack of calories instead of reactive hypo. i havent had enough faith to try this yet in fear of the spike and fall so i eat only 1/2 cup…

Thankyou both for the replies! yes i get scared to eat different then what i have been because my blood sugar likes to hang in the 60's-70's and im afraid if i eat the "wrong" food balance that im gonna end up going under 60's and i feel horrible there lightheaded/feeling faint and unsteady in legs/balance.. but dietitian…

Yes i will be seeing one soon, i have an appointment. i have anxiety disorders im eating more then i was as i lost appetite through stress. so im sure my body is overreacting to food and it will work itself out, it just feels scary when its happening. im slowly increasing calorie intake so i dont shock my body any further.…

since im only 107 lbs and blood work is ok can i eat whatever? surprisingly when i wasnt eating that much i still had sodium levels of 143 and protein of 7 in lab work. i get this weak heavy leg thing and lightheaded, really bad after i had a burger the other day or maybe it was the sugar from the bananas? is it possible…

yeah im eating like 6- 8 times a day, i feel like i have a sugar crash every 2 hours. even though blood sugar is in 80's-90's by next meal. todays meal plan i have 1/2 cup oatmeal, 4 strawberries, 1 egg, lettuce, tomato, sunflower seeds, turkey 4 oz, 1/4 cup green beans,2 ounce baby carrots, 1 cup apple, 4 100% whole wheat…

at 5'5" when i was healthy i was 136. i was squishy but had good curves and felt very comfortable with my appearance. = ) unfortunately due to stress and not eating right im down at 107 lbs. i want me squishy back!!! But also its whatever you feel comfortable with.. try making a goal for 150-160 and see how you feel..…
