Had an eating disorder in the past and now I can't lose weight. Am I screwed?


Quote  |  Reply

I'm only 21 years old but I suffered from anorexia between the ages of 15-19. I got down to the low 90s at 5'4" before I went into recovery when I was 18. Now, 3 years later, I'm at an all time high weight of 150.

I screwed up my metabolism so bad. I would eat 0-700 calories a day for weeks, binge and gain it all back on and off for years. It was a horrible cycle. Because of this I have gained over 50 pounds since recovery even though I eat no more than 1300-1400 calories a day.

I have been trying SO hard to be healthy but the weight just keeps packing on. I don't know what to do Cry Has anyone dealt with this before? What can I do to lose weight? I want to do this as healthily as possible but I'm so frustrated.

For 2 months I have been eating 1300 calories a day, working out 3-4 days a week, and I haven't lost a SINGLE pound.

Not quite the same but in my (on going) recovery from bulimia I've gained 20 pounds in total, I'm scared to properly count and restrict cos I don't wanna go back there yet I feel I can't accept myself until I get back to my "normal" weight.

 

So I know how you feel
