Angry Disappointed

Hi all,

It's me again, the Anorexic... I've only posted once or twice before. Anyway, for those who don't know my story, I got out of my last treatment center about 2 and 1/2 months ago and after refeeding am at the higher end of my "normal" weight range which greatly disturbs me, as you can imagine. I've suffered from Anorexia for 11 years and have not been that heavy since about that time. It sucks.

Anyway, I went to my dietitian yesterday and though she would not tell me if I had gained or lost that day, she told me how much I had lost since I left my last treatment center. To be honest, I was not impressed. In the 2 and 1/2 months since I left, I've only lost about 10 pounds. My dietitian says that's good and my mom says that's good, but it's not. Isn't it a small amount? I eat healthy (I'm anorexic, like I'd really eat *crap*!) ,but I don't exercise as much as I should. But then I never did. Not even sickest. I don't know what I expect from this post, but maybe what can I do without changing my diet? My mom and my dietitian say that my diet is perfect and won't allow me to change it for fear of me taking a turn for the worse yet again (I've been in treatment 12 times). Or just let me know if 10 pounds in 2 1/2 months is really a good amount or not. I think it is too small an amount. I don't know. Thank you for listening to my crap.

Well I don't know, I mean, we don't know anything about you. We can't tell you if 10 pounds is good or bad unless we know how much you weigh.

Re: Disappointed

Bjork - I have no experience with anorexia but, I have years of training/ nutrition work with clients - 10 lbs in ten weeks = very good results. Steady slow weight loss is great, it gives you the best chance of dieting off the fat and maintaining the lean tissue. Excessive, quick weight loss in every case I have seen has led to the individual losing muscle storing fat and slowing down their metabolism.

Re: Disappointed

Heh, they won't allow me to have a scale in the house anymore I'm estimating 135-140 since I know approximately what I weighed when I left my treatment center. I'm sorry I didn't give you that info before... it didn't occur to me. Thank you for giving me that encouraging info about the weight loss being good. It makes me feel a little bit better.

Re: Disappointed

I'm a bit confused, if you are anorexic and you just got out of treatment and are a healthy weight, why do they have to on a diet to lose weight?
