i think i might be anorexic


Question Posted Sunday April 23 2006, 12:59 am

Lately I've realized that I haven't been eating as much. I'll be hungry but I just won't eat, maily because I don't want to eat. I am a very self-conscious person and I will willingly admit it. I know being anorexic is bad but sometimes I just can't help not eating. Sometimes after I eat, it doesn't matter how much it was, I fell really bad about it and regret eating. So do you think that I'm anorexic?

I'm sorry that some of these answers are so far from the truth.

If you continue these, habits, then you will become anorexic. Bottom line.

Keep in mind, though, that when you do begin to eat again, you will gain a lot of weight becuase your body will store fat which will be very hard to lose.

Might I suggest counseling?

Maybe even offer yourself a reward system-or eat your favorite foods.

Drop one in the inbox if you want examples of this. :)

if you want to know if you're anorexic, everytime after you eat you'll throw up.sorry, thats all i know but if you want to make sure if you're anorexic or not you might want to go to the doctor.

Hi
right...

You are you and no-body who says anything to you can change that so be proud of yourself.

Aslong as you eat a balanced diet and keep excercised you won't become fat.


So stop worring (smiles) and be you.

*_*hope i helped*_*

Hi

Sounds like you are borderline anorexic. This is such a nasty disease for both your body and your mind!

Your body needs nutrition to stay healthy, or will eventually shut down....and can lead to death!! Starving your body will totally backfire in the weight loss game. You will end up gaining more, than if you eat sensibly, and get the right amount of exercise.

Trust me...I tried starving myself once and gained over 30 pounds. It's not worth it. Take care of yourself. You will have your body for the rest of your life, and if you don't respect it then life could be over far before your time.

Good luck....if you feel you can't do this on your own, then get help!! There are lots of councellors out there who specialize in eating disorders.

Eating disorders are as much a mental thing, as a physical thing if not more...it's about control. Take care.

Brenda

hey. everyone is self consious about their bodies sometimes, the problem is when you start to obsess over it. it may be a phase that you are going through, or it may be a problem, it is hard to tell. how long has this been going on? do people around you notice that you arent eating much? how much weight have you lost since you have started "dieting"? you might want to reflect on these questions. as i said, i cant tell if you are anorexic or not, but if you are worried, then DONT be afraid to tell someone about it. the faster you get help the faster you can be cured. hope this helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥

yes sweetheart. i think you're gonna fall sick soon if you're gonna continue like this!!

:(

i'm fat. lol. i eat normally but i still remain fat! that's the saddest part of the whole thing. some girls can remain so thin after eating a whole tub of cookies and creme ice cream!! :(

i know. being slim and pretty is everyone's dream and fantasy. i was once like you. i wanted to stop eating totally and even though i was starving like hell i refused to eat alot. it seemed to me that eating will make me fat no matter what i ate!

but i grew very sick. my period didnt come for 1 year. yes! 1 year! and my feet swelled..

it was bad. my doctor told me that if i were to continue to eat that way, i might be infertile and even worst still, i might die.

that was when i stopped dieting that way. girl, if you feel that eating will make you feel bad, think of all those low calorie food. you can eat lots of vegetables and tofu. they're good food for you. fish and meat. after you eat them, tell yourself that your body is absorbing all that it needs to function.

and trust me, having a little bit of flesh is good. guys like girls who are fleshy a little. :) trust me ok?

love yourself sweetheart. there's only one you and you're THAT SPECIAL!

:)

Most anorexic people will already know they are anorexic. If your stomache growls and you still refuse to eat, that is a sign of being anorexic. I'm guessing you are around 15 years old, no? Well, during that age every girl gets self conscious. It's most likly just a phase and it should pass. Your not alone; even I sometimes get self concious about eating.
