Im in the same boat. Im 5"7 and 110lbs. I dont know how to eat normally I dont know what normal is anymore. If I try to eat a muffin its hard. I keep to the same foods everyday. Im not sure how much calories I eat because I dont focus on that as long as the foods are fresh and natural. Do you guys eat sweets? different things everday? I also feel guilty if I havent been active for the day. Do you guys eat the same calories if not active? Should I even worry about how much to eat with my weight? im soo confused cuz I want to get better but Im scared my weight will go out of control! any advice? |

Well I used to have family health insurance when I was 16, and hospitilized. My pediatrician did say Im anorexic, so I guess that info would be in my files?? I was hospitilized 3 times before. 2 times I had to stay and 1 time I was released the same day, but noone there diagnozed me although I did tell them I suffer from anorexia. Does that count? |

Hey girls, I hope that it is not Diabetes. Im not that thirsty at all and thats one of the symptoms. I surfed the web and found that anorexia and frequent urination come together. KidneysThe kidney loses its ability to concentrate urine, leading to frequent urination. Dehydration can occur easily as the injured kidney is unable to compensate for decreased drinking and eating behavior. Low carbohydrate, high protein diets can be especially dangerous to the kidney in these patients.

Hey everyone Im new to this topic. Im not going to write about what I eat because I am still struggiling but I have some questions. Maybe they have been answeard before so forgive me but I would like to read them again. Ok so I am anorexic and I have been for 9years. I am trying to recover but Im doing on my own so its very hard. Im 5"7 and weigh 114lbs. Am I too thin? I feel like im normal for my height. If so how much calories should I eat? What is the appropriate weight for me? Would I gain weight easily? I havent gotten my period for a lon g time now,I believe its 4years and I dont know what to do to get it back. Also sometimes I feel so full other times I feel so hungry why is this happening? And why does it seem like Im gaining weight when I am eating the same things and doing the same exercises everyday? Also Im confused when it comes to gaining the actuall weight. Do you have to eat 3500 calories or eat that on top of what you burn?? |
