Ah, thankies :)

So the green one is the one to watch, for a general idea of how you've been doing?

It'll be useful if my weight goes up and down?

Thanks :)

lilsmiter - I posted because I wanted reassurance that this is normal. Evidental no such luck.  and what i described at the start is what everyone else sees. that's what matters.

btw, I doubt I would ice my ankle unless i couldn't walk, but i'm known for playing through inguries. I've played with a cracked rib and 2 broken fingers before :D

I'd never tell anyone about this, other than my consellor and i've already been down the therapy route, because that would mean that my parents would get involved and i hate them to interfere

alizanti - I don't know what calculator you use, but 50kg is 110.2lb.

I'm now 48kg YAY!YAY!YAY!YAY! but that's still 105lb. Not underweight as i'm 5'3/5'4 not 5'5. that puts me at a healthy weight. 18.5bmi

This'll be my last post, as I'm sick of people trying to protect me by telling me little white lies. But that hurts even more. Even my friends don't get that. I can't stand it anymore, I can't stand people lying to me. This'll be my last post. I know yuo're trying to protect me - you don't even know me. I thought people here would be supportive but your not. you're lying like everyone else.

I don't like psychiatrists.
I don't like meds.
I don't have a disorder. 
I gather from the replies that this isn't normal. But I don't have a disorder.
I don't.

Subwaybusker - It's true. I want to keep my body pure. I don't want fat or blood or excrement or tears or babies or sick or as you put it other nasty substances. I really wouldn't be afraid if I didn't have these functions. I'd prefer it no end. 

revolution3 - I really don't care if I'm healthy or not. I just want no fat at all. 

I do have a counselor and I've tried everything. I've had behavior therapy,  face to face talks, I've had hypnotherapy. and none of it works. I thought this maybe would help, maybe it could let me see that it is normal to feel this way.

PLEASE! Someone out there must be able to help me!

I'm don't know what to do anymore. I'm scared that I'm a freak. I hate my body and there must be someone who can reassure me that it's normal.
please. This site is my last hope.

I LOVE YOU!

somebody understands, finally....

Oh.

I'm too poor for that, plus i live in the uk,  :(

Oh well

Original Post by gret9717:

I always measure around the largest part of my midsection, am I doing it wrong?

I'm 25, 5'6", weight is currently 140 and my waist is 35 1/2".  I started at 37" at 160 lbs.  Seems like my stomach is the last thing that wants to leave!

If you stand relaxed, and slide your right arm down your right leg, so your bending at the midsection - but not leaning forwards or back. where your skin creases is where you measure your waist from.

Me too! i'm 15,  119 and wanna lose 9, short term. I'm also 5'3, so i'm in a heathly weight. but I know what you mean, just a few pounds can make such a difference.

Sometimes it's easiest to wait untill the hunger passes, i mean everyday, without fail i am starving -  from 2:45 to 3pm. No change. I just wait it out, otherwise i'll binge. I use a hunger scale, just imagine how hungry i am, from 1 -10 anything lower than a 8 i won't eat, and when I do, it's usually rye bread. It keeps me full forever! If i have it for breakfast i wont be hungry untill 2.

 Sometimes just drinking hot water - slowly - can help. As can sugarfree gum

good luck! :D

Thanks - but it cleared up on monday. :D

I don't know why, i just tried to drink and i swallowed. Strange huh?

Thanks anyways!

I know I should, but I JUST CAN'T!!!

I'm buring muscle? But I don't even have any! I've never had muscle!

And like I said before, I don't exercise regulary, only about once a month! I do softball once or twice a week, but it's hardly an active sport. most of the time i'm just throwing for 2 hours.

Also, since friday morning, now sunday evening, I haven't eaten anything....It's really strange. I can't swallow at all. Not even water, but I found out if I lie down with a mouthful of water and tip my head right back it dribbles down my throat, but that takes forever. So i've been drinking about a glass a day cause it so damn hard!

Can any one help me with that?

thanks,

Same problem, i can't eat much more than 800kcal, 900 tops. I just physically find it almost impossible.

I tried drinking hot chocolate, unhealthy I know, to gradually increase kcals eaten so i didn't feel so fat. no offence ment to anybody else :D once i found it wasn't so bad eating 1400kcal I changed to healthier things.

YAY!

I started at 137 :( but now i'm at 127 (ON TRACK!) and my short term is 110 by easter and longer term is 99 by summer!  

Ooops! i'm 5'3"
