Health & Support

Someone suggested to me that I start this. I'm trying to come back to healthiness because I've been dealing with Ana for a while now and it's really ... not a good thing.

So...Ana (nervosa and athletica), Mia, BED/COE, Ortho, Bigorexia, whatever it is you might have had or are trying to recover from...I was thinking a good support topic in the motivation forum would really keep us on our feet.

Now if I'm the only one, well, then, just ignore me... *whistles and looks around nervously*

:)

I'm ana too but I am unable to quit because I am a pageant girl and have not reached my goal yet! Good luck though!

hi

ive been lurking around this site for ages but only posted like once. im 15 and i am in outpatient treatment.  i was caught throwing up and went into treatment but i stopped doing that. now its a struggle to eat enough. i am eating about 1200-1500 cals/day now which i hate with a passion.  i am 5'3'' and weighed 102 last saturday (ill give an update tomorrow maybe).  i was eating about 500-800 for a while but got threatened with hospitalization so i got my butt in gear and started eating more. i hate it.  i feel very fat and gross but i have to do it. 

that's about it i guess.

ps - on christmas i won't have thrown up for a month! yay for a good present to me :D

Pardon me, what is bigorexia?

Bigorexia definition

thinequalslove: it's hard being in beauty competitions. i can only say that i hope you can try to reach your goal as safely as possible, even if your goal isn't safe itself. i know that mine is a little underweight, but i don't wanna starve myself to get there. hit me up anytime you wanna talk

littlefroggie: congratulations on not purging! i'm sure you know how bad that is for you...i used to do it A LOT. don't worry about 1200-1500 cals. you burn at least that much being alive every day so you won't gain weight, and it's healthy so you can stay out of the hospital (that's motivation!) 500-800 isn't so bad in the scope of what anas sometimes eat...as low as 100 or nothing at all even. 102 is a great weight and i know you look beautiful but i know how you feel...it's a tough battle.

I just got done with hospitalization for my ED. glad you started this

united2gether - i deleted them because they weren't showing up right, lol, i had typed a whole bunch and only a portion was coming up. the little posts for different people i posted in quick succession were all in one big post (like yours)....haha. oops.

your weekly discussion idea is awesome.

clavicle - welcome!

Pink- thank you:]]

united- I'm doing..... okay. It's wierd being home and hard doing all of the food stuff myself, when I've had someone making me eat every meal for the past month. at leasst I'm home for xmas!

hey united2gether

i don't really know how i made it. i guess i was freaking out cuz i was given 5 days to prove i could stay out of the hospital.  now im feeling like shit cuz i just binged on stuff i never ever eat and ive already eaten like 1500 cals and its only the 1st day of vacation :'(

Hiya, There's a similarly supportive thread in 'maintaining' called, 'Venting, ED Fears'... there seems to be a real need for ED support on this website, was wondering whether it's something we should head up to the Calorie Count Team, make it a forum title, rather than just random threads?

Take care everyone xx

I'm glad you started this. My eating disorder is still lingering after, 1 year? Yeah, I think it's been a year. It went from Anorexia (never diagnosed, but I had the BMI & lost my period) to Complusive Exercising, and now it's complusive eating and binging.

All we need is tons of support. Thanks for this thread!

Shyly waves hand.  Hi.  Can I join too? 

ennin.  i switch back and forth too.  Starve then eat like a maniac.

of course you can join too, luzing!

ugh. okay vent time. i had an evil binge today...went to a semi annual bonfire that's hosted every year, once in the winter and once in the summer by my friend. bonfires=cooked hotdogs, smores, alcohol (i didn't say that), chips....yeah.

and then in n out (read hambuger joint) afterwards.

and i overate because i was too tipsy to pay attention. and then i had a burger (protein style, meaning no bun), no fries, and a small diet soda, which i thought was good but then...*CONFESSION!*...

i purged.

:(

AND I got a scale today which is a little discouraging cuz it looks like i'm around 4 lbs heavier than i estimated. i think maybe its from coming off the fast i was on for 6 days and will go away soon. i have the rest of this vacation. 9 days with my amazing boyfriend at the renaissance montura hotel los angeles (look it up it's FABULOUS) and their GYM and SAUNA and i'm hoping to lose as much as i can....i wanna lose 15-20 lbs as quickly as possible but effectively enough that i won't gain it all back.

any help is appreciated?

Heey pinkdisorder, I thought this was a recovery thread not a place to complain about throwing up talk about fasting and ask for TIpZ on how to be skinny.


Heres a tip. Eat healthy, well balanced meals between 1200 and 2000 calories and do 30 - 60 minutes of exercise a day and you'll lose the weight in a couple months.

And how about not calling eating disorders ana/mia? Its just slightly insulting.
