nothing happening. stressed.

[sokki15]

i don't know if i'm eating enough. to tell you the truth, i'm scared to eat. not to mention i'm now 99 pounds and still feel fat. am i being delusional? i can't even take my medication anymore because a side effect is weight gain. i can feel a disaster coming on if i don't take my medication.

1 teaspoon cocoa
1 tablespoon cream
1 splenda tablet thing
2 eggs fried in 2 teaspoons of butter

1 cup of lettuce
.5 cup cucumber
25g cheese
.5 tablespoon of oil
some vinegar
sugarfree jelly

100 - 120g steak
tablespoon oil
1 cup of broccoli

817 cals
8.5 carb
58.8 fat
54.7 pro (depends on the steak)

65%fat 3%carb 32%protein. can i add more broccoli?

i don't seem to be losing weight now, and it's been almost a week. ok i cheated on sunday and had 12 low carb beers, but that kilo i put on from that i lost in two days.

i really need to lose the fat on my stomach, i ride a bike 30-45 minutes a day.

blah. and yes, i drink at least 2 litres of water.

Hi.

I'm a bit concerned about you. According to the BMI charts, 99 pounds (45kg) is only in the 'healthy weight' range for people between the heights of 4'5" to 5'1" (135cm -157cm), which is the equivalent of an average weight for an 12-13 year old child.

If you don't fall within those height ranges or age range, I think you should see your physician as soon as possible. I know that might sound a rather brash, but eating disorders and body dysmorphia syndromes are real and life-threatening medical conditions. So please, see your physician. Based upon the information you have given, a weight loss diet isn't a healthy route for you.

Good luck.

Sokki:

Can you tell us your age, your starting weight, and your current weight? Also, what's your goal weight?

Please provide the following:

Age:
Height:

Without a complete picture, it's hard to tell, but I second what Not2late said.

I couldn't agree more. As someone who has struggled with dysmorphia and eating disorders for years, Megs is right on the money. It's not a path you want to travel and based on what you've shared I'm also concerned for your overall health.

Please. See your doctor and be honest with him/her. I know it may strike you as melodramatic, but the truth is that doing so may save your life - and if not your life, your mental health.

I wish you success.

Re: nothing happening. stressed.

thank you everybody for replying. i am 23, 5 feet 2 inches. i started at about 115 pounds.

obviously i am not seeing in the mirror what everyone else is seeing, because my friends are starting to get angry with me, but i can't help it, i know it's all psychological... but i just make myself feel sick, even if i cheat and eat a cracker, i need to go for a bike ride.

obviously i can't lose weight forever, just a few more kilos and then i will stop. i was thinking about telling my counsellor, but i don't know if it's really that big of an issue... it's just eating makes me guilty and sad.

thank you everyone.

hi sokki, if i was you i would mention it to your counseller definatley,what happens when you lose a few more kilos ,then you will probably say oh i will just lose another kilo etc etc ,listen to your friends and if eating makes you feel guilty and sad you definatley need to talk to your counsellor.
10 years ago i decided the only way to lose weight was not to eat i survived on a pot noodle per day i got to the stage were i couldnt swallow food it made me feel sick i associated food with making me feel sick,it was only when i realised it was my situation in life which was making me feel sick not my food so i changed my situation and guess what my healthy happy appetite came back.you can delvelop a problem and dont realise takecare and mention it to your counsellor i wish you all the best ginette

Re: nothing happening. stressed.

sokki, please tell your counselor. Being underweight is as unhealthy as being overweight.

So please tell your counselor. It's very important. I doubt your friends would be so worried if you didn't look unhealthily thin. And I doubt so many of us here would be concerned too, in light of the information you have kindly provided.
