Hi Everyone

Im new to this im not sure if i have a problem of not so im looking for a little advice ever since i can remember eating always came with issues my sister suffered with anorexia when i was about 8 so to me it became perfectly normal to do so many hours exercising eating little as possible.
i went thurought a stage of abusing laxatives and binging after so many months ive stopped for my whole life is a worry about how much i eat how much i weigh and how much control i have Im now 26 years old im only happy when im restriting and when i i take my dp im not underweight and i dont binge so im not sure if i have a real issue or im over reacting life seems so stressful at the moment that i feel ive lost control of everything except when it comes to food sorry if im not making sense i just dont understand my own mind any advice would be great

many thanks tina

I'm confused?? So do you still binge and purge and think about food all the time??

Hi Giiiiii21


Im not binging or purging at present im very restrictive with food eating 1 meal a day i dont think i can stop taking diet pills im most "happy" when i dont eat i feel empowered in control of thing
sorry if you dont understand what im saying ive never spoken about this to anyone i feel quite ashamed

thanks for your reply

You know what i'm in the same situation! I'm 5'4 and weigh 95 lbs and i restrict my food intake! i eat 800 cals per day when i should be eating close to 2000 cals! if i eat more i feel like i'm losing control!! Everyone is telling me i need to gain weight and i know i need to.. but i'm scared once i start eating my appetiite will increase and i'll start binging on food again (which has been a year since i was bulimic).

If you're only eating 1 meal per day and taking diet pills too then i think you may have a serious problem! I know i have an eating disorder but i do eat 3 meals a day (mainly vegies,fruits,rice,soy,little bit of chicken and fish here and there) but i guess in small portions.

I'll keep checkin this thread, keep me up to date!

Hi Giiiiii21


Its nice to know im not alone, I eat a pot noodle its less than 400 cals but i drink 3 liters of water and a couple of caffine drinks i have tried to have 3 mealsday but if i try then i seem to binge its like ive lost complete control, ive had a tough year my son was born 6 weeks prem in april, ve had pneumonia 6 times year ive had a few personal issues to with my hubby at times i feeli like im on a merry go round but i dont have the control to stop it.
in my mind i feel like if i get to a certain weight then things will be ok another side of me knows this is silly :rolleyes:
im not underweight ive lost a fair bit in a short space of time i feel like im achieving something it all seems so complicated i know whats healthy and whats not i just dont understand sorry for going on if you want to e-mail me anytime you can ( removed )

take care tina
