seriously, i think you're the only person who is pissed off. my only purpose for posting my initial question was to see if anyone else had the same issue and how they dealt with it. i'm not looking for someone to validate any supposed "anorexia" or "disorder."i'm not looking for "enablers." i just don't think my real weight is any of your business. obviously, you are looking for a fight, and you're not going to get one from me. i don't appreciate your adolescent, pseudo-intellectual head trip responses to what i feel is just a legitimate search for advice. thanks to everyone else, however, who responded constructively. i'm done here now. enjoy your holiday. |

i'm 27 and my weight loss was really slow...about a year and a half. most people that i eat with daily are surprised when they see that i actually eat more than they do. except instead of burgers and fries, my normal dinner will be like 4 oz of grilled chicken, brown rice, a double portion of veg, sparkling water or maybe a glass of wine and something like yogurt and fruit for dessert. my workout routine is light, maybe a half hour of yoga combined with a moderately active job. on days when the weather is pretty (rare) i might go for a leisurely jog. i guess what i don't understand is that i do what everyone says i should be doing, and i'm just thin. i dont feel like i should apologize for it or start eating big macs everyday to make everyone else feel good. i have zero health problems, all my bloodwork and vitals are well within healthy ranges. |

i don't want to discuss my actual weight, but i'm just under 5'2 and usually hover at or slightly over a size zero. i still have my periods, eat small meals six times a day and my calorie intake ranges from 1200-1600 depending on the day. i think people say things because i have naturally a very thin face. even at 5'2 and a size six, my face looked like it belonged to a size 0 person. my top half as well is naturally very thin, my bottom half is a different story. so basically i feel when people look at me and make comments, they are only looking at what they want to see and not whats really going on... and yes- my doctor knows my weight. |

i've had probably 3 or 4 people comment on me "putting on weight." i knew the number on the scale only showed me going up 5 pounds, i didn't think it would be obvious to anyone but me. |

| by your description of your daily meals, that seems to come no where close to 1800 calories. infact, i counted it for you. 1packet low sugar oatmeal: 120 2 bananas: 210 2 tbsp peanut butter: 190 1 oz cashews: 160 4 oz tilapia: 93 2 servings mixed vegetables (green): 120 grand total: 893. therefor, if this is all you are eating, you are eating roughly 1000 calories short of your maintenance intake. |

| try to avoid fast food whenever possible because generally all of it is loaded with a lot more calories than you think. but i've found that two things work in an absolute pinch. a 6" subway sandwich on wheat, with mustard, NO cheese, and all the veggies is something like 270 and ONE taco bell crunchy taco is something like 170. |

| i usually try to order a salad as a starter that is very plain. just veggies. nothing creamy or cheesy. and use a very tiny bit of a good salad dressing. and i eat all that i want. by the time my meal comes i can only eat about a third of it. another good salad tip. if you are eating a salad that has something on it like grilled chicken or avocado, ask for a few lemon wedges instead of dressing. it adds tangyness and moisture, few if any calories, and its pretty complimentary to the rest of the salad. |

two liters of water a day as a minimum is excessive for certain body weights and appropriate for others, the amount of water required varies according to your body weight. i've always heard as a rule of thumb to determine how much water you should drink per day: take your body weight, divide it in two and drink that number in ounces per day. example: if you weigh 120 pounds, drink 60 ounces of water a day to maintaine optimum body function, flush toxins etc. if you want to lose weight, you should increase this number slightly. it is recommended to remain healthy you need to take in enough water to replace what you lose daily through perspiration and excretion of waste. do consider that food (esp produce) contains water as well. |
