Eating disorders?

Re: Eating disorders?

It hurts me to read stories about ppl suffering form eating disorders, b/c it is complete ****.
I have been bulemic with anorexic tendencies for about 3 yrs..I'm 20 now
I am trying to recover but it is really hard. ..I have gained weight and now my BMI is 19.9..which I know is in the healthy range but I still feel extremely fat. (to the point that I hate going out in public and avoid it at all costs). So I'm hoping to lose weight to the point at which I am comfortable with my body..not to an extreme low weight but I think losing 10lbs would be ok.
The thing about atkins is I find it hard b/c when you are at a lower weight it is harder to lose with it...and in general it is just hard not to focus on calories.
But I'm hoping that it will not only help me lose weight but teach me to eat healthier and proper portions.
good luck everyone

Re: Eating disorders?

my nickname here actually is "saved ex-ana" as in ex-anorexic. i used to restrict hardcore, and then thought i recovered but really i was eating way too low calorie and exercising way too much. my lowest weight was 107 at 5"4'. i've only recently been trying atkins to sort of stop the social eating block and tendency to just starve instead of eating out eith others, or end up in tears after a junkfood binge. i went up to my highest weight of 123 lbs by switching to a low carb diet, so now i'm doing atkins the right way instead of some sort of version i made up off wing. i'm 20 now too. and i feel pretty fat, but most of the people i hang out with think i'm this girl in great shape with no image issues cuz i try not to let it ruin my confidence, or atleast show that it does :S

Re: Eating disorders?

I had Binge Eating Disorder for about the majority of my life, until age 15 then it was Anorexia/SOMTIMES Bulimia - only when I really felt bad.
