| I understand what you mean, back at the beginning of the year when i was at my lowest weight i would just eat nothing and not exercising
soon as i started eating again (uncontrollaby) i would exercise so much till my ankles were so bad i needed cructches. i am haemophiliac admittedly but have never experienced these sort of lenghty problems. currently i have a huge swelling on my knee, perhaps from the amount of cycling i do on my exercise bike... |

| i agree that you should see a doctor about this sounds similar to the swelling in the ankles that people with anorexia suffer after a long time, probably due to circulation or something im probably completely wrong though... |

| you definetely do need to eat more, especially being a teenager.
however its almost impossible to be able to tell how many calories you need on a daily basis at our age. the health effects of doing this isn't good, im 16 male ,5'9 and my lowest was 110, although now im bordering around 126 after about 3 months of 3000 cals a day binging. You may well go into this phase, its very much like starving yourself. When your starving yourself you can't stop yourself from starving and when you go into the binge phase you cant stop eating, you just crave that feeling of fullness, like you crave feeling empty. its a horrible cycle and i myself fear im back into the starvation part, once you break the bingeing for a few days it becomes easy again. the best thing we can hope for is just to forget about food. I've lost a lot of good friends, i regulary skip school (im usually A grades) and I just want to curl up at home and hide myself away. |

| I like to buy the fillets of cod in parsley or butter sauce which you boil or microwave in the bag. The sauce is yummy and cheesy and its only 110 cals each for the ones i buy, then i add a can of carrots and a can of green beans which are 25 each and i got a wickedly big meal for under 200. | |||

| Lose weight to whatever you feel is comfortable, if your comfortable with people noticing and being ok with your weight then stay there, but if you would still like to lose a bit more to feel healthy and comfortable within yourself then do so. | |||
| Weight Loss | I'm so afraid... Is this what we call anorexic...? | Mar 10 2007 16:02 (UTC) |

| im afraid to say I believe you are suffering from some form of eating disorder. I find it unfair to label everything as anorexia as everyones case is different really but i believe an eating disorder is made in the mind rather than attributed by physical symptoms. I too know what your going through and I hate watching people eat freely too, especially as on weekends i work in a bakery and my friends are always getting me to buy discounted food during the week, having like 2 pasties and a donut each while I have nothing. Its annoying how thin they are, theyre much thinner than me yet they eat EVERYTHING. i cant really give advice but just try to eat when your hungry and not worry about counting calories, not meaning you should go and pig out on high calorie foods left right and center, but just try to enjoy your life and forget about food, im sure your life was much better before when you werent worrying about food, even if you were a little heavier |

| ack breaking bones is annoying a couple a years ago when i was 14, i pratically stood on a soccer ball (trying to control it) slipped and put my wrist down and broke it. I sat there like 'ow' and all my friends were crowding round and laughing and joking not knowing how much it frickin hurt! |

| no you wont gain weight its impossible to gain weight in fat eating that little, I seriously doubt that your metabolism can slow to that little, and even if it has it still takes 3500 calories extra to make a pound of fat. Im currently in overeating mode after a long starvation period, and still havent put on much weight, |

| Weight Loss | Loss of patience for overweight people? | Mar 02 2007 17:12 (UTC) |

| wow popular thread ive noticed I tend to lose patience with overweight people and people who wont try foods. Living in the Uk i often watch 'you are what you eat' and it annoys me when i see the table filled with junk or the people going 'ew' towards a smoothie or porridge. Jamies school dinners annoyed me too when the kids would spit out food as soon as it was put in there mouths, or they cried and wouldnt eat a normal piece of chicken. I never used to try anything, I used to be just like them but it still pees me off GRR |

| for a low calorie meal or snack i love to get some tinned carrots or frozen vegetables and just cook them and chuck cajun powder on the top = yum.
or I get a tin of tomatoes, and mix them with kidney beans and a small bit of flour to make a nice thick soup chili type thing, just beans in a tomato sauce spiced with cajun or chili, perhaps the chili may rev your metabolism! |

| yeah, its nice to have other people who understand how you feel. I hate how the media pin the blame on models and pressure to be thin. I personally didnt get into feeling this way by that, I just wanted to generally eat healthier than I was before, and now im obsessed. I know this website is aimed as a healrhy way to lose weight and has only good intentions, but I still hope people dont calorie count to the extreme, its hard to give up |

| same, i wish i could stop thinking and planning food and going over how many calories ive eaten today. I hate the fact that each and every day for me now is just waiting for night so that I can go back to sleep again, my day is just a struggle with food. |

| Dart is right. Im currently trying to recover from anorexia, ok forcibly perhaps because I just can't stop eating these past few weeks. Not eating makes you drained, depressed and isolated. At the depths of obsessive eating you really do just wanna curl up and in a ball and die, I slept instead just to pass the time. Your ankles swell, chest hurts and I experienced incredibly unconformtable feeling on my side just under my ribs, felt like someone was grabbing and pinching my skin and twisting. You lose all interest in life, friends and even sex. I had so much going for me, and Ive screwed things up now |

| I can no longer restrict my food anymore, I just can't stop eating at the moment! But..... so what if I put on a few pounds? So what if ive put on half a stone over the last month? I actually look and feel healthier now than I did this time last month. Why have I been striving to lose weight when really what I want is muscle? Why do I feel the need to make myself have the skinny bony body of a 10 year old boy? IS that REALLY what I want? Although ive been eating more and more recently its good, because now I have the energy to exercise and get my body into shape and after just a week of jogging on the spot for at least half an hour every day and doing situps, my stomach i already looking flatter and does not seem to bloat up as easily. Im actually enjoying the fact that some of the weight ive put on has gone to hide my ribs from poking out, im glad that im no longer in physical pain and mental agony from starving myself. I know i can't eat like this forever, but I know in the short term it can't be unhealthy for me. |

| i agree, it wouldnt be possible to lose 4 pounds of 'actual' weight anyway, a lot of that is probably water or the fact that you havent got the weight of food in your body. | |||
