advice
i was anorexic. i then suffered from BED (binge eating disorder). the doctor explained to me that it was because my body was trying to "restore" all the nutrients it had lost. when i was anorexic, i lost about 30 pounds. Then, i gained about 15 back total, and i felt really good. that was my ideal weight, told by how my body felt, the doctors, and my bmi. i was put on birth control because i lost my period and with the birth control i gained 15 pounds more! right back where i started :(.... the issue is that I gained it purely because of the pills. I eat VERY healthy and exercise every day. the doctor explained to me that it was a shock to my body because it had such little hormones and this was like excess to it. but, now i'm trying to lose the 15 again.. because that is where I feel good. i'm not anorexic anymore, so i'm not gonna do anything crazy. but, i find it hard to stick to a "diet." I get emotional and scared. But, even though I eat healthy and exercise regularly, I can't lose weight because my body is already use to that. I need to stick to something that will "shock" my body into weight loss mode. Hey, i'd be happy with the first ten pounds lost. i just need to stick to it... that's all. any ideas on how to help me stick to it without getting those negative feelings? i know the only reasons i get them is because i'm scared of how bad i felt when i was sick... any advice is helpful. thank you.
The best thing to do, in my opinion, is to see a doctor. Tell them that you really want to lose those 15 pounds, and tell them about your fear of dieting. They are the best ones to decide a balanced, simple diet that will fit you.
Oh, and don't feel uncomfortable about not being able to have a diet. Your body went through a time when it had some serious malnutritien, and now it's wants plenty of healthy, good tasting variety. With a diet, your body isn't getting the large amount of nutrients and variety it has grown to love.
Just so you know, do not take all of my advice for total fact. I am not a doctor, nurse, or surgeon. I'm a 14 year old girl that thinks she can give a little advice.
I hope I was able to help :]
