Im scared I'm becoming anorexic


Question Posted Monday November 28 2005, 8:23 pm

Recently I've been caring ALOT about what I eat, and after I eat I feel guilty. Could I be anarexic? I still eat good, and dont thik i could ever stop eating, but I just... feel fat. I weigh at the moment 85 lbs, and everyone tells me Im really skinny (which makes it hard to talk to anyone), but for some reason when I look in a mirror I feel like my gut is huge. whats going on?!?
Thanks for the help =)

It sounds to me like your perception is off. People with this disorder do experience problems with perception. I know about anorexia because I've had it. 85 lbs. is nothing to weigh. Most anorexic people see themselves as being fat or having fatty areas when in fact this is not true. I know I've been there. Have you ever seen pictures of starving children from other countries? Have you ever noticed that these children's stomach are hanging out and yet they are suppose to be starving? They have these skinny little arms and legs yet their stomachs are hanging out. This is the physiological response of your body when it is in starvation mode. You need to get some help as soon as possible. This can kill you. I have included some websites for you to look at. There is are two that will give you free counseling. There are free support groups you can join. One is called Al-anon. I've included their website. Don't let the site fool you. They were started for families who have someone that has a drinking problem. Contact them. They also have other groups that deal with eating disorders and they will guide you to the right group. This is nothing that you can wait around about. It sounds like you are in crisis right now. You have to go to someone right away. If you have further questions you are welcome to ask me. I've personally dealt with this problem. Good luck!


Namaste,


LULABELLE

wow ohk first you didnt leave your age or anything but your weight it really depends on how old you are and your height and more to really know if 85 pounds is a good weight. i dont think your anorexic cause u do eat and you dont throw it up afterwards but like if over five feet tall your supposed to way atleast 100 pounds (that is the healthly weight limit for that height) but people down there saying yes thats very healthly really can't say that because they know absolutely nothing about you..
85 pounds is not at all fat you shouldnt think that i know some skinny people and they all have that lil gut thing idk y but they do and they are skinny so i don't think you really have a reason tho think your fat but...if it is concerning you i would ask a doctor next time you see one if the 85 pounds i healhty for you..
I hope i helped

i feel the SAME way! I weigh 90 lbs. and i'm a sophomore...i just started wearing 0's and they're still kind of big on me, but when i look at my stomach, i see a GUT!! I do TONS of sit-ups and crunches and i work out my stomach ALOT!! it helps..don't worry about what you eat, if you really feel like you have a gut, try working out your stomach and start getting a pack..i've now got a 4-pack from all the crunches I do! it helps me a lot! maybe it'll help you?
