It's a little complicated but I think one of the reasons is that my brother is anemic (along with a lot of other health problems) and he's always been very unhealthily underweight, yet he's going to a college for critical writing and he's always been an advanced student. I've always been an advanced student, too, and so I've always been kind of a perfectionist, but I'm still getting my shit together as far as college goes. I compare myself to my brother and think that, if he can be as great as me academically, have more friends and connections than I do, and seem to never whine or complain about anything, than why do I deserve to have more than he does? Why do I deserve to weigh more and eat more often than he does if he can be better than me while surviving off of less?

You need to start low impact exercise to lose weight -walking especially- and keep the calorie intake low. You should start walking between 5-10 Kms daily. You should be sweating heavily by the end.

Yeah I know, but with work and waking up late in the day [then working] it's really hard to eat at regular times. My schedule for working is different from day to day and I don't want to eat the food at where I work because it's super calorie dense, and not really all that FILLING.

I just need to make lunch before hand, and maybe start cooking for myself instead of relying on my family to have food when i get home.

All the weigh ins are recorded around 11 PM. I am worried i'm starting to rebound a little, but I think if I can do a little more work out stuff I can drop it back down.

[all the numbers for burned are based off of the Wii Fit, Wii U thing. I got the pedometer for it so i wear that all the time, throughout my day.

As long as you eat over 1500 calories a day of it you can survive on pretty much anything. That's not to say you'll be in excellent health because you're probably missing some amino acids or proteins and you'll get sick of those foods real quick but it's doable.

Like a million because I eat away my feelings. Technically I have emotional issues where I suppress anything that would cause me to feel strong emotions, like I won't look at photographs of my dead mother and can't react to things normal people feel sad about.

In that way food gives me a momentary boost of actual feeling and pleasure that I can't get anywhere else in life currently except for sleeping and my escapist fantasies. I'm not sure what other addictive coping method I should adopt in order to get rid of my food one.

I guess I like feeling sore after having to pick up heavy stuff and straining my muscles but when I try to do pushuos and sit ups it quickly devolves into me just laying there and staring at the ceiling blanking out and becoming unaware of anything.

Therapy helps a bit. And pills. Advice from people who were/are in similar situations would be nice.

Never counted calories. I imagine it varies a lot from day-to-day. I'm actually pretty good at having self-control when it comes to getting junk food while I'm out, and most of my snacks at home are fruit and veg.

Mostly I make soups, use ham/chicken/beef.

I had to buy cat food today so I decided to walk downtown and buy it. While I was minding my own business two guys were talking in a parking lot and suddenly one of them said to the other 'I like fat chicks how I like my coffee..... and I HATE coffee!'

Ha fucking ha. I walked an extra half hour to the grocery store with 20lbs of cat food on my back and bought a container of chocolate chip cookies and ate them all.

Increasingly I don't see the point of going outside or even bothering to eat healthy. As much as I do love vegetables and cooking, I often feel it'd be kinder to kill myself with food.

I am 5'10 and was 320 lbs 5yrs ago. I'm 220 now and can do all the things I like to do, like bike for hours. I have no interest in relationships so I guess I feel as if there's not much of a point in caring. I just want to live alone in a house in the woods forever.

5'9 - 130Ibs. Last time I checked I was about 15-16% body fat? Anyway, I exercise regularly and eat healthy meals at home every day. I eat around 1500 calories. I do go out to eat maybe once every two weeks and exceed that, but everything in moderation! Pic related.

As a future RD, it scares me to see so many people eating under 1000 calories and thinking that is acceptable. Your results may be quicker in the short term, but you're going to feel like shit and become extremely unhealthy - not to mention gain all the weight back when your body relapses.

You try but not obsess over it.
Usually keep to a healthy diet? Go on eat some crap every now and again.

When it becomes an obsession, that's when it becomes a problem.

Also, people think other people watch them way more than people actually do. Fat and eating a cheese burger? No one will notice unless you're a ham planet.

Getting to the sizes where people off the street really care about it is usually an indicator of something else going wrong with someone mentally.

The same with people who go too hard on the thin-scale. Obsessing and constantly controlling what you eat is as bad as binge eating, and both are considered EDNOS(eating disorders not otherwise specified).

I see what you're saying, you do have a point, but I still think that saying an eating disorder is merely vapidity and weakness is really undermining the disorder and failing to understand its source. It is a coping mechanism for most. If it was just about being thin, they would exercise regularly and eat healthily but not obsess over it.

actually, this isn't true. it's an ED illusion... trust me.

in self-degradation, you will ALWAYS attract negative people who will degrade you. since this is all you know, this is all you believe the world is.

truth is, once you break free of the weapons our culture hands its people for destroying themselves and others, when you start to simply respect and care for yourself, you will find yourself surrounded by similar minded people. your world will change. i have seen both sides but i'm still on the threshold between them.

those weapons will still exist, and you will see people using them every day; you will see them on billboards, in ads, in TV and movies, on the internet, in your circle of acquaintances... people will hate each other and use this arbitrary "beauty" standard to do so. you just need to be strong and turn the other cheek. people admire strength, confidence and charisma. or envy it, thus making them hate you. BUT they can't touch you if you don't let them.

most eating disorders are far, far more complicated than this, though.

Oh I didn't even read that part.
Someone could say that it is technically a weakness, since it's used as a coping mechanism for some other issue, whether it's fighting back for feeling like one has no control over one's life, as a way to receive attention or love, ect. ect.

But that stance really doesn't matter for most people.
It's important to note though, that obsessing about exercise and diet can become an eating disorder, and one that's becoming more prevalent. (Especially now that researchers are looking at Men's eating disorders.) Also some, but not all, forms of dietary restrictions can be linked with some eating disorders, like someone going vegetarian or vegan to maintain control over their lives and themselves.

This doesn't mean people can just go off and tell all these people they have eating disorders, that would be silly.

Blame everything (your fat) and everybody (society) for your problems (too lazy to go get you a man)... Step up yo. Seriously, that shit isn't just handed to you. Its a series of decisions over a long span of time.

Go out with my buddies and smoke dope, or stay home and study? Major is poetry, or something that requires effort? (You'd be surprised how easily $ trumps a tight ass and big tits. Turning off the light while you fuck is one thing, having the electric company turn off the light because you don't have the skills to pay the bills is different). Watch TV, or have a steady, dedicated regimine of dating? More variety increases your chances. Show some balls and don't puss out at the the thought of being lonely between boyfriends, or quickly move on and not waste time when someone is not up to standards?

On and on. You can't imagine the shit I went through to find a mate I could love that wasn't a loser. Took lotsa effort/faith/patience/money... Never did it involve diet, happenstance, or "society is a big meany". Put some effort in it. Its by far the most important aspect of life. If you get that right, everything else will fall into place, come naturally, or be something you can easily overcome as a couple.

Ways you can lose weight:
1. Not eating
2. Eating

However with eating, you'll lose weight a lot slower, but you'll still be able to not feel shit and provide your body with daily nutrients (your body doesn't just run off calories, you need other shit like vitamins and minerals and fats and etc...)

Also you want to lose weight by making life choices so that when you get to the desired weight, you can just continue eating the same way plus a little.

uhh... i forgot to mention i never count any fucking calories. And I do overindulge in my meals but I also starve myself when its inconvenient to eat.

basically:

I eat what i want, when i want, sometimes eating all you can eat buffet like thousands of sushis (137 orders - 29 of them rolls last time during sushi battle 2012. Winner pays all. It was draw)

yeah and sometimes i dont eat for like 3 days.

IN the last 3 days I was eating Tri tip roast i made 3 days ago. And some ramen.

YOU WANNA KNOW THE TRUTH?

Fat people aren't fat because their meals are larger or more numerous. They're fat because.. while we are walking, standing, talking on the phone, and other... non-eating things... they are fucking eating!

My fat ass friend and I hang out, right - he shows up 1 pm. He already has a bag of chips with him, pops that shit open like 'you want some chi.. NOM NOM NOM NOMORE!

ok, then like 20 minutes later he says come to store with me. I get a beer cause im an alcohol. He gets 2 x-large kit kats and a bag of chips again.....

an hour later hes like "im hungry, u wanna go to carls?"

we go to carls he gets a $9 dollar meal. My meal comes out to $3.50 and its two fucking burgers. This guy got some kind of 6 dollar Glutton Burger with extra Baconator barf or w/e.

An hour later is another bag of chips time.... then he goes home and passes the FUCK out because all that fucking fat and "hydrogenated corn oils" finally hit his brain and cut off any hope of being human.

It's like that movie Wall-E where everyone is fat, god damn it.

okay, no. you need to not put words in my mouth.

first of all, you need to go into therapy with a mindset of "i'm going to kick this."

if not, then you keep grasping at straws until you find your breaking point.

good therapy WILL help. good therapy combines various methods--especially for eating disorders, CBT and DBT as well as general talk therapy, oftentimes art therapy, and anything else you can think of.

i'm guessing you've seen some shit therapists. and hey, so have i.

i've also been through months of intensive outpatient therapy for bulimia, but i was too immature, self-involved, and frankly depressed to continue going. i gave up. i had just moved out on my own, living by myself, and trust me when you are battling an eating disorder there is NO greater enemy than solitude.

anyway, my fuckin point! therapy helps. it doesn't fix you. sometimes you get therapy, learn some shit, drop out, almost kill yourself, go back, repeat. it's a process. and i repeat YOU NEED A GOOD THERAPIST. or several, whatever suits your individual needs. eating disorders are too complex to be covered by JUST psychotherapy or JUST cognitive behavioral therapy. it needs prodding from various angles.

152lb 5'3" female, myfitnesspal says to get 1290 a day, I have trouble getting over 1000 and sometimes [a few times a week] I throw up. I don't think it's bulimia; I like food a lot, simple healthy food not microwave dinners or fast food, and I would rather have a fit healthy body--and enjoy the work it entails--than a thin waif body. I just have no appetite. I take a multivitamin and fish oil with breakfast, and I've been doing this whole at or under a thousand calories a day thing for about a year and a half; I added 30 minutes of jumprope a couple of hours after breakfast every day and I've lost 20lbs so far. When I'm less doughy I'd like to buy weights and a rack and start lifting, but there are no gyms here [rural as shit TN, we're lucky to have a fucking walmart] and even if there were I don't want to be seen. I know people at the gym don't really care about other people at the gym but I'm ashamed of how fat I am and how stupid my lack of appetite and occasional throwing up are. I don't really feel unenergetic, but that's probably due to the fact I have six or seven cups of tea a day. No sugar/sweetener/honey just plain tea, for the caffeine mostly. I've tried taking just caffeine pills but I don't drink enough water then so this is tolerable.

you should try starting your day off doing an hour or so of cardio then eat breakfast.

I don't know. I've never been thin, or even healthy--fat mother, fat stepmother, manual labor absentee dad with hefty beer gut. Grew up on syrupy sweet tea and sodas, everything deep fried and heavily smothered in butter, typical disgusting amerifat fare. I moved out and dropped the sweet tea; didn't drop the soda until this past december. When I was drinking soda still I ate maybe once a day and got the rest of my calories from soda, four or five cans of pepsi a day. I've only been consuming a thousand calories of food a day for about two months now and it feels like too much, and that blows because I know I should be hungry. >>5161897 I have and use a digital scale, I'm well aware how inaccurate eyeballing things is. Pic related is what I usually have; I pre-make a lot of things, like the dinner, and measure it out into containers to simply nuke later on.

I tried going fasted and found it disagreeable. My other problem is my extremely sedentary lifestyle: I move very little and sleep quite a lot, even with the large amounts of caffeine I'm inundating my system with. I did not start doing any kind of cardio until the beginning of december, when I dropped the soda and started trying to eat more. I have no doubt that my body is fucked up, and I'm pretty sure I'm depressed as well. I have difficulty focusing; I wouldn't mind seeing a therapist if he'd also prescribe me something like adderall but by the same token I don't think a pill can really fix a person completely.

I am losing weight, at least. Another 20-30lbs and I'll buy a bar and weights and a rack and start to look human. A doctor will probably be seen between now and then anyway, maybe a therapist too. I would have booked something by now but lol no insurance.

Yesterday, for example, I went well over 2000 calories, because of the party for the game we had, too much good food everywhere. The day before that, I probably only took in 1200-1300, I had a protien shake for lunch, no breakfast and rice and beans for dinner, but I wasn't very hungry. The thing that brings me down is alcohol. I wish I could just not drink, but I've always been a drinker, especially a social drinker, and I actually enjoy the flavors of beers and wines, so I always end up drinking.

I'm 6", male, and weigh 124lbs and losing weight. I also run a lot because of work (valet) and then go to school and walk around another mile.

I'm probably going to die soon.
