Well....i was anorexic a few years ago too....and i am an asian....i tell you....i was nearly bald since my hair fell out soooooo darn much! it blocked the drainage within just only 1 wash of hair! but it will get better with in just a few months. The body is getting rid of the hair because it thinks that it can not afford to look after all the hair on your head! i know that it sounds stupid....but that was what the doc told me. Anyway just eat lots of good fat and protein and they will grow back! but my boobs never come back. they are still very small. oh well i began with and 'a' now i have an 'aa' boobs.....so.....i suppose, thats how the body is punishing me......to starve myself from the beginning.....

otherwise you will just lose so much weight just eating yoghurt, milk and ice cream!....i will just be living off those if they were true!!!

that myth is just stupid really.....-_-''

Nothing but a tub of chocolate ice cream!!!

ran out of food but have not got a chance to buy stuff in yet!!

thank you everyone a lot!

keep working on it everyone!!

The thing is i don't really count anymore. I don't even know how much I am eating. But quite a lot in comparison to my friends, even guy friends. Another thing I find really useful is eat lots of pulses soya and nuts...they can apparently raise your hormone levels. I am suspecting I am consuming about 1900-2500 depending on how much I studies.

BTW, my campus is VERY VERY VERY SMALL since I am in London and my campus is one of the most compacted and condensed campus in the world....-_-'' so there we go...very little exercise, apart from IF i go up the stairs in the Library which is so tiring and really weird design. Absolutely everyone hates it.

My toning being 20 minutes of just normal walking up hill and some biking for the rest of the time.

However I do notice that our starting BMIs, or our natural BMIs are different. I think the rule of thumb is that, go back to your original and plus a little bit more to ensure that your body is now thinking that you are not longer restricting.

P.S. Drinking soya milk helps too!

Best of Luck!

what is ur bmi and for how long has it been that?

thanks and congrats again!

Hey! i did lost my hope too on getting my period back too ages ago! however anything can happen!!

My BMI before i lost it was 18.7 (natually thin since i am an asian) and now i'm about 19.5 a little bit more. However I am completely over food restriction, eat lots of healthy fats such as nuts for about a year. Well at the lowest point of my BMI was actually 15.3 but i lost my period since BMI hit about 17. I have gained my weight back for about a year plus a little more as well. :)

I do work out though, about 3-5 days at the gym for 30 minutes just to tone my butts and legs. Otherwise nothing....sitting all day (a college student with tonnes of books to read and essays to write.)

Do not lose you hope, there always light at the end of this journey.

yeah...and it makes me very hungry as well!! hehehehe

Well i have to disagree with DIETING=OBESITY but i think its rather obesity=>dieting.........

but maybe i have lumped it all together than healthy eating promotes eating disorders....but thats what happen to me and other girls in my school. We were encouraged by 5 a days and eating your greens making us think that all we need in a day is just the greens and 5 a day...if you eat more you are adding more food than necessary to your body, thus you will get fat...

largely i think its because lack of education and misperception of the human body TRUE image. Lately i have just been thinking a lot how i got ill in the first place and how to aviod my sister getting ill (ED) when she is living in the same enviroment, same education. same peer pressure as i did in the past.

Gadzooks, when i come to think about your point, i think that asian culture are putting MORE pressure to be thin than the western just because we are naturally more skinny, but the practice (i.e. how we get thin) are not actually as extreme as what is going on here in the UK and western countries.

thanks i will try it!

see the result tonight....

Oh, everyone...i feel like i am not alone in this anymore since all my friends have boobs....the thing is if AA cup T-T which is v small. I though they will grow with time...but i am 20 now...and they are still as small as they have been since i was 14....so i am trying to learn to be contented with them....

do boys mind though?

problem is i don't even have anything to LIFT! I think its just disadvantage of being an asian....no boobs what so ever...

ha ha ha mee too!! can totally relate! i am slim have no boobs but HUGE butts! i just don't understand this...i wear about size 10uk bottom but 6-8 on top! i don't get this at all...just weird...i look weird when i wear fitted shirts....T-T

ha? wot? in your hair?? how?

at BMI of 18.5 on the verge of healthy....and underweight....my mom start commenting that my bottom are actually gettting too big....actually they are...this is because all of my weight is accumulated there....why????

in my home town....thailand...people are sooooo small...i am 5'9 so i'm like a giant in the crowd....although i am quite thin....but i feel comfortable with bmi anything lbetween 18.5 -  20
