I'm 13, about 5'4.5" and weigh a bit over 100 lbs, I believe. I've not
weighed myself in a long time.

Anyways, I'm an okay weight right now. When I was about six, I was
41 inches (3'5"), and weighed 38ish lbs. According to the doctor,
'twas not enough.

[confused]

I am finally winning the weight battle. I am 5' 5" and I used to weigh about 110 lbs. Now I am ALMOST at 120 lbs!!! I am so excited because you can barely see my ribs!!! I'vegot to keep it up and keep eating!!!!

[rcurran]

Jenneh, you are definitly too skinny!!! I am about the same height as you, and i am 105 lbs. Normal weight range for that height is 105-115lbs. I weighed 79 lbs when I was in like 6th grade!!! You really need to eat something! No offense, but you must be so skinny that you can see your ribs, all of your bones! Eat, Eat, Eat girl!

I weighed 90-95 lbs because of emet when I was 24 years old. It looked disgusting, but back then, I thought I was normal. That was after 2 kids. I now have 5 kids though, so I think I am at my right weight now?? [img]smileys/smilies_12.gif[/img]

Wow!! Some of you guys are way too thin!!! I have to admit that I did kind of lie a bit. I am trying to use emet as an exuse for not eating properly but I mostly have an eating disorder.


I did weight watchers after my 2nd baby and lost like 70+ lbs, and I do not know how to eat right, I starve I binge, myweight plays between 125-130, I dont purge!! ( obviously) anyone else out there lose weight and have this problem? Im just so terrified of gaining any weight again. But a small part of my eating problem does have to do with emet, just not all of it.

[Jenneh]

mmhmm statistics show im underweight. but im anorexic, and i dont see it. im losing weight as we speak. good isnt it [img]smileys/smilies_11.gif[/img]i hate myself.


skinnyme: i was naturally thin from my emet when i was 11, because i hardly ate anything. now, im more confident with food, but dont think i dserve it, and fear putting on weight just as much as i fear v*ing it seems! i used to be a MORE healthy weight of 40KG. but that dropped down to 36KG and now i will not even let myself be 40 anymore. i know, i need help because i am damaging my body, a lot. but iv tried asking the doctor for help, i've tried asking my (EX-)social worker.. but none of them were interested. so, i know iv just gotta do it myself. but how do u persuade an anorexic that they're not fat, they dont need to lose weight? anybody hve that answer i'd be grateful to know it. thanks.

Jenneh, there is nothing anyone can say to you to make you feel OK with your weight.Only professional help is going to be the key. I feel fat myself, but deep down I know im not. You need to feel comfortable in your own skin, besides that anorexia is soooo much more then a body image problem, it has to do with controlling things in your life.

i have always had weight/food issues 0 mainly to do with emet. i used to be really skinny when i was abt 15/16 and everyone at school thought i was bulimic and had made up a stupid phobia of being sick....how wrong were those idiots. i am eating much better now and weigh abt 9 stone(abt 60 Kg..?!) i am abt 5,5 or so and think im abt right. but its stupid coz i feel so fat now - and sometimes i really wish i ate less - and worried abt eating agn so i wld be skinny agn! i hate my fat hips and wobbly thighs. they are minging. and i just see some girls and think they look so nice and thin - and then me (and im not fat really) - i just 'feel' fat. its stupid.

Jenneh - u are way too little babe. 36 kg - that must be like what 6 stone or something - ok i guess i was tiny when i was ur age too. like skinnyme says - u do need professional help to get over eating probs like anorexia. whatever anyone says - it will be how u 'feel' that determines ur state of mind and body image.

mm. i know i need help. nutty Jen needs help. but where to go? you know? i've cried out for help thru a letter to my social worker.. and got no reply. so thats finished as im now not even allowed to see her, um, the psychiatrist the Doctor referred me to is as useless as a tonne of bricks. so, yeh. as i said, on mi own now. 36 kg is under 6 stone.

I have a bmi of about 12 - 14 although it changes quite a bit. I am underweight. I'm not anorexic though as Idont deliberatly starve myself or want to be thinner - because I dont - I hate my body. I think my thinness is casued by stress. I've alwaysbeen thin. And I've always been unhappy - so I've connected the 2. I just find it so hard to put on weight. I eat quite alot - I think it just gets burnt up through nervous energy and stuff. Its horrible. I hate being judged because I'm thin - it doesnt mean I'm anorexic or want to be like this. I am doing well though. I've puton 10lb in the last few months

[ejb199]

Jen - i cant BELIEVE that the socialworker hasnt even answered back....thats awful!! what abt trying the doctors...maybe seeing a completely new doctor...?

it really p***es me off how these people (doctors/social workers etc etc etc) seem to have no idea. i know they are understaffed/over worked blah blah blah bu its not really the point. almost everyone here has a story abt how c**p their doctor is!

[chloe]

Im about right for my height - have always been slightly underweight but have had to get used to being the weight I am now...

I'm 29, 5'2'' tall (I think), and I weigh about 102 or 103. If I gain anymore weight, my face gets fat. I do eat normal though. I've always been skinny.

[skinnyme]

It"s amazing to see a link with emet and anorexia... not to say all of you are anorexia, but it just makes me think that there is some link between the two. I"m sorry if I have offended anyone by starting this thread, I was just curios as to see how many people have eating problems like myself. As someone mentioned earlier, it is very difficult to pinpoint the eating thing and hard to be dx. my dr. says my eating disorder is hard to classify he says its "eating disorder not otherwise classiefied"... something to that effect. Hope everyone is having a great day and not stressing too much about the holidays as I am!!! AAARRRGGGG!!!!!!!!!

[Jenneh]

ooo EDNOS?? im intruiged... i hvent got "diagnosed" at all. ahve lost ALL faith in any kinda professional.


ejb -- i foned my social worker today.... she said she wasnt going to contact me... she was just gnna write to the GP and say that we're not seeing each other anymore.


nice of her wasnt it? she wasnt even gnna tell me that. well, thats another door firmly closed behind me. the question is, do i have the energy to open another?


Jen xxxx

[ejb199]

YES Jen - u have the enrgy coz your strong and you want to get thro/over all this. and u have US - and we can all help u keep strong and positive.

Wat a stupid woman - i cant believe she wasnt even gonna tell u...

*hugs*

[Jenneh]

thts the NHS i guess [img]smileys/smilies_05.gif[/img] u have an allotted time, after that they try and get rid of u as fast as they can!!


xxxx

[ejb199]

exactly - NHS = c**P!!

i tried to get mental health care with my companies private scheme - but guess what - they dont cover for mental health! if u break ur leg or back then ur ok - but if ur going crazy then basically f**k off!!
