i need motivation, and to talk to you guys!
Okay so im totaly new to the whole blog thing and never ever thought id be the one to do this...
but i think this is what i need so please help!
its my first year of university..and yes..your allowed to have pig outs and late night drunken binges wiht your friends once in a while..
but what i am doing is discusting.
i have been small for a long time
i was 100 pounds and 5.4 and i was happy with my looks and my body and comfortable and everything,
now since i got to university, i have formed a bad habbit.
its been going on for about two months now...on and off.
i will binge at night ( bad binges like 3000 calorie binges) and then feel guilty and starve during the day, its like a cycle.. that will never end.
it use to be with people when we are drunk or even sober just for fun.
but now i find myself going to the groshrey store at 10 at night and coming up with a full box of cookies and a whole cereal box and finishing the entire thing. I have gained 10 pounds so far and i want to loose it so badly because im not happy right now.
please help me to stop.
i feel so grose after and i tell myself i will never binge again and then ill do it the next day.
it just makes me so happy and its so fun and such a stress release from a buzy stressful day.
Thanks,
Suzy
100 lbs and 5'4" is underweight.
You have the emphasis all wrong. It should read like this:
"I starve myself constantly and it's so disgusting because I am risking osteoporosis, permanent infertility, diabetes, heart disease, inflammatory diseases, and dementia and I am horrified I do this, so I try really hard to eat closer to what I need (3000 calories) but then I just go back to my horrible starving ways again"
That's actually what is going on. The reason your body is trying to eat 3000 is because you need to gain weight. To be a healthy weight you will need to eat at least 2500 calories every day - day in and day out.
If you cannot get yourself eating 2500 calories everyday, then see a counselor on campus and get help.
Thanks for your help,
but are you sure 2500 isnt to much?
i was thinking 1500 is a good amount to eat throughout the day,
i just cant bring my self to do that because of my binges,
my goal is to stop binging and just be able to eat a normal amount of calories throughout the day.
i am going to try that for tomorrow
i always thought it should be 1500,
2500 sounds like alot..
where do you get this number from?
thanks again for your help
2500 is more than your body would likely burn in a day so eating that much would lead to weight gain. Right now you're at the very lower end of healthy weight so gaining a few pounds might be a good idea.
But if you want to stay at your current weight 1500 calories should do it. A little more on an active day.
I fell into the same pattern at college where I would try to eat as little as possible throughout the day then would wind up eating a lot at night. I would get really hungry and go to the campus store planning on getting a small dinner and being so hungry I would buy a ton of food. And then once I had all that food in my room of course I was going to eat it. And then I'd eat less the next day to compensate and so on so forth.
So yeah long story short just eat throughout the day and you're probably less likely to eat alot at night.
its so good to actually talk to someone that had the same issue as me,
because i dont want to tell anyone, and im not really the type to join a group and this is my first time and you are my first reply! so thank you
um i dont wan to gain weight, id like to be at 105, i have a realy small build, no boobs, etc, so i think thats a good weight to be at.
and i think 1500 is a good amount of cals to consume but we'll see.
i hope i dont binge tomorrow, im going to eat a normal amount during the day
and ill respond here to follow up on if i went through with it.
wish me good luck and thanks again!
