Eating Disorders

[Thatfatcat]

Has anyone had a eating disorder? I used to be anorexic/bulimic a long while ago.

I'm kind of wondering because I think it may be coming back. I'm kind of scared that I'm relapsing


Major Changes In my Life:
-Quit smoking
-Quit Drugs
-Quit Alcohol
-I currently have mono.

Symptoms:

-I've lost 35lbs in the last month
-I've tried to avoid eating around my friends and family as much as possible.
-If I do eat, I feel really guilty/stick a finger in the back of my throat
-I will not see my friends if they're going out to dinner or potentially going to eat.
-I'm humiliated to go out in public and I've shut myself out in my room
-I've been lying to my parents about eating when I really haven't.
-I feel as if I'm making myself stronger if I endure hunger
-Although I've lost 35lbs I still look the same
-I've lost the desire to eat all together.
-My goal weight is 110lbs (I'm 5'9)
-I plan on using laxatives to lose weight.


Could this be mono or an eating disorder? Although I know there's a problem, I can't stop. I just can't. I can't eat until I get to my goal weight. I'm miserable.

It's not mono.

You should go see a specialist One of the hardest parts is admitting you have a problem. And it seems like you've done that here.


And believe me, losing 35lbs is totally noticeable. Losing that amount in a month is scary and you really need to stop this for your health, if not for your family and friends.

Losing nearly a quarter of your body weight is a significant change in just a month.

Obviously I'm no doctor, and I'm not going to diagnose what you have, but I definately agree with SuperBowser. You need to seek professional help immediately.

I know of a girl I used to go to high school with who had anorexia, and even though everyone envied her body, she still thought she was too fat and she came close to starving herself to death. Eating disorders are a vicious cycle.

Mono really doesn't cause any of those things you described. Since you've had an eating disorder in the past you more than likely already know this already. Don't wait for validation from internet forums, talk to your parents, a doctor, or a counselor right away.

I was thinking the same thing too. I calcuated the BMI for his target weight relative to his height and it's well underweight.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to shoot for a reasonably low weight. But you need to keep in mind that your body will function much better at its ideal weight range depending on your height (as well as other factors).

You might not think you look any different, but 35 lbs is huge. Especially in a month. If you can't do this on your own, you're gonna have to own up to it and ask for help. It might be embarrassing, but for your health's sake, it will be worth it. It's good that you realize you are doing this, you understand there is a problem. Now you've got to be responsible and try to fix it. Good luck.

yes you have an eating disorder. try snacking on carrots/cucumber/celery etc, they will not make you gain weight.

 

[Fyist]

If your a male 110 pounds is really light and you should be trying to put on some weight in muscle. If you are trying to watch what you as stated above just snack on fruits/veggies they wont get you fat and will fill you up nicely, also stay away from sodas and beer stick to juice or waters.

get help.
no one here is a docter.

What he said. Go to your doctor.

Yus!! Like everyone said! Go to a doctor!! That sounds like an eating disorder. You should seek help before it gets help! 5'9 at 110 lbs is NOT healthy. Especially for a boy. You should get that checked out. Your body NEEDS food! It needs nutrition and you are keeping that away from your body. You are slowly killing yourself. Seek help please. D:

I eat around 4000-4200 calories a day.

Someone of my height (5'10") and weight (160 lbs.) should be eating: 3000-3400.
I'm skinny as hell.

Is this bad?

[GoldShadow]

If you're 5'10" and 160, I doubt you are "skinny as hell".

 

[Today]

It could be all muscle, which is heavier than fat. Plus take into consideration his height. 5'10 at 160 lbs for a boy is good! Just a wee bit on the heavy side but that's not bad at all. That surely is a lot of calorie intake, though. XD

 

[Terywj [태리]]

If I could get a full-length picture of mahself.

I've got little to no muscle either.

i used to be anerexic. well im gay, but before i came out i was rly depressed and i rarely ate or slept.

135 and 6 foot 2 is bad... but now im much better. 150 pounds ^^

 

[xxFrohawkxx]

Well you better go tell your parents about this.
Trust me from experiance if you know something is wrong tell them since you already had an eating disorder already it seems to have come back.

Dont worry im sure you parents and friends will understand

and if you didnt year anything else that I said its not from the mono...
...your parents and friends love you

I will give you a best friend hug when you get better XD

 

[Paixy]

I use to be anorexic, I think. I was almost 15, 5"7", and weighed 6 stone.

 

[jamlosingthegame]

Yeah. I think it's better to tell someone before anything bad truly happens. I wouldn't want this to happen to my friends either. Friends are there to help. Heck even we're here for you.

 

[Met]

Being that skinny is gross bro. I'm 6 foot and weigh 190 and i am not fat or chubby. eating is good bro you think captain falcon got to where he was by just working out? No he ate a really well and generously.

It could probably be your metabolism.

Laxatives do nothing but make you lose water weight. They can be bad for your health.

 

[Fuelbi]

You know if you let me, I think I can book you in for an appointment with Dr. Mario. Would you like that? An appointment with Dr. Mario?

Guys is it bad that no matter how much you eat and no matter how bad you eat, you never gain weight? I swear I can eat junkfood for a whole week and I don't gain any weight or feel worse... yeah......... and no I don't think I look the same even though I look fatter to everyone else, I literally don't gain weight
