| Weight Loss | Trainer is giving me different advice than cc | Sep 08 2007 19:50 (UTC) |
1 |
| i would go w/ the trainers advice. i don't know if this helps... but I see a nutritionist (recovering from ana so its different i know), and calorie-count has me burning 1600 a day but I've been eating close to 2300 and i've been dropping weight slowly still now that my metabolism is more regular... i think that your calorie count really differs from person to person. | |||

| not to knock calorie count... but my metabolism is a lot different than what this website says... in fact... since i've been seeing a nutritionist... i eat sooo much more than my maintainence (so says this website) and I might have even lost a few pounds. I have more energy as well. I suggest that you take the calorie recommendations on any website with precaution. | |||

| Alright.. today is my second nutritionist appointment. Let me tell you all... I am going to question her like no other. I know I did not gain any weight. Might have possibly lost but I more than likely maintained at least. Been hitting 1900 to 2000 most days I believe. So it's okay. All in healthy foods. I'm just nervous. Something about me won't let go of the calorie counting. tuffghost... try as hard as you can to talk with your mother about seeing your therapist more. For recovery... i believe it's vital. I know I would not be able to recover without any sort of guidance. Until then, just try to be strong. You're worth more than this binging/purging cycle! Just keep your mind on a better tomorrow! :) |

| So this is my second post here. I go to see my nutritionist tomorrow. It is sooo hard to not keep track of calories. She did not want me to count. She also told me that I need a minimum of 2200 to maintain when very inactive. I have the HARDEST time believing her and I've only reached like 2000 calories one day this week. Most have been around 1800. I just can't believe it! I feel like she is lying to me. Ha... I guess I have some paranoia! | |||

| This is in reply to a lot of the really young barely teens. I'm recovering from an eating disorder. I started from me wanting to lose weight when I was younger. I was overweight. I reached a fine weight for me when I was about 14. I was about 135 and 5'4. I was still growing and probably would have lost it w/ time. Yet...I didn't take anyones advice. I kept dieting and it turned into an extreme eating disorder. I understand you all feel like you need to diet... but take a step back and think... it can easily spiral into something horrible... especially at a young age. And let me tell you. Since age 14 (I'm 19 turning 20 now)... I have lived the most lonely and scary life ever... because of this eating disorder that I am in treatment for now. just my two cents. |

| Hello Everyone! I am new to this as well. I am in recovery for anorexia. I have been trying to recover as much as possible on my own for the longest time. I just started seeing a therapist a few weeks ago and I had my first nutritionist appointment last Monday. I am going again this Monday. I was originally trying to eat around 1500-1800 (on a bad day) and I ate all the wrong foods. (when I was eating this, i was just trying to recover). I had rough patches where I'd try to diet and get to a lower weight. But my therapist said I was definently not eating enough calories at all. So she set me on a meal plan type thing to get in the right protiens and all that jazz. It does not have me counting calories and I try my darndest to not look at the calories. I do not feel as if I have gained any weight. I was usually lingering between 105 and 108 lbs and I am 5'4. I did weigh myself today... big mitake. I felt skinny this morning and was sure I would weigh the same. Nope. The scale said 110. I have no idea how that would happen seeing as I have not really been eating THAT much to gain that much in a window of a few days. I have been working out and getting a lot of physical activity and i Just keep telling myself that the number on the scale means nothing. Every little inch of me wants to go diet to get back down to 107 ish lb but I know that is just the disordered eating part of me getting the best of me. I do have more energy and I feel better but I just hate the number. I am really trying to get past that. I have an appointment with a psychiatrist next friday to see if i need medication for depression as well as to help with my obsessive eating thougts (my therapist said depression medication was often prescribed for things like this). Medication scares me but I think it might be for the better. I just need a lot of support right now. I hated that world of fear I was living with when I had anorexia and I want to be out of that world. I want to be able to nourish my body and be a strong happy person... not a weak skinny girl afraid to become fat. I hate that. I think I am finally going to put that darn scale away. I am getting really obsessive with it and I need to stop. To top everything off, I have been trying to quit smoking and it is just so darn hard with all this stress I am dealing with right now. But I really think that this additional support will do me well in my road to recovery! Thank you for reading this long drawn out post! I'll be on here very frequently! Thank you all! :D Chelsea Rose |

| Weight Loss | overate but didn't gain? | Aug 02 2007 16:08 (UTC) |
1 |
| yeah i'm thinking thats what happens... I'm usually pretty strict w/ my calories so maybe a little overeating bumped my metabolism! thank goodness! :) a lot of times I just can't get over the fact that my body is not an exact machine w/ set numbers and such! | |||

| Health & Support | quitting smoking question... | Aug 01 2007 21:41 (UTC) |

| i've been cutting down a lot now and I realized that when I do end up caving... I don't enjoy the cigarette. I don't like the headbuzz it gives me. I get nauseated now. I was gonna just keep cutting it down. about 4 or 5 cigs today.... 4 tomorrow... 3 the next and so on... but now I'm gonna try cold turkey again. I'm just nauseated by the thought now. I'm gonna start writing in a journal whenever I feel like smoking. | |||

| Health & Support | mini tummy tuck | Jul 16 2007 14:54 (UTC) |
2 |
| wow i'm definently going to talk w/ my doctor about those options as well! they look great! but anywho... i was 193 back in 7th grade and went down to about 145 through 8th grade. my dad and step mom just forced myself to eat healthier and made me stop watching so much tv. haha typical sedentary lil chubby kid. they also refused to buy me fast food or candy (candy on holidays). then from then on... i got into dieting and working out. but an eating disorder caught hold of me and thats how the underweight thing came about. but a good majority was just from diet and excersize. i've turned into a major perfectionist. and being a chubby middle/highschooler was not acceptable to me. |

| yeah i'm considered underweight and the tummy looks sick. so i really honestly don't have much weight to lose at all. *i've been told i resemble nichole ritchie... ew*. i know once i get that tummy tuck... i'd be fine gaining like 5 pounds to fill in this bone everywhere else. plus... if i have children... (which don't sound appealing right now... but opinions change i know)... it would be SUPER far down the line. at least a good 8 to 10 years... so i'd rather have my young years not being so self concious of my body and enjoying my life instead of being afraid if my loose skin is jiggling aound. | |||

| Weight Loss | formula for ideal weight?? | Jun 30 2007 03:04 (UTC) |

| nooo! muscle tone is amazing! I'm no body fat and I've lost muscle mass due to my ED as well as a bum knee (up until recently!) I'm trying to get some more muscle now. It looks so much better! :) I look sickly thin and my bones jut out everywhere! Plus... American Eagle pants tend to be very small in the butt area.... (I wear them because I am very flat in the butt area... haha I have to wear them, other brands look like I took a load in my pants sadly) | |||
