Weight and Emet

[surfjunkie]

It's so reassuring to know that I am not the only one who deals with
some of these same issues. Although many of us struggle, at least
we aren't alone.

[*mandi*]

I am definately underweight. Ive been under weight for along time and mostly b.c. from the emet. I dont think I am annorexic b.c I hate being skinny and I wish I could gain weight. It just never happens.

[flee]

I am underweight due to emet. After I eat, I want a drink to relax my digestion and not think about feeling full. I've had issues with feeling full and not liking tight clothes around my stomach that I wore overalls for years. Plus I had been a vegetarian for 14 years but recently craved red meat [probably a natural nutritional body craving] so I have been loving red meat for 10 days!

I think I'm normal .. I voted for normal =p


I'm 5'2 (i think!) and weigh 8 stone .. something .. I'm a size 8-10 in trousers and 10 in tops.. so I'm not like skinny but not like fat .. so yeah .. normal =]

Im still underweight right now, from the eating problems, but i have been gaining which i wanted, i have put on about 3 pounds this month, im meant to be gaining a pound a or two a week, well thats what they wanted me to gain as an in-patient, so the way to stay out going in there is trying to eat and gain some weight.

Im just about the right weight for my height but when i was a teen through my early 20s i was wayyyy underwieght i think it just helped that my metobolism slowed way down once i hit 24!

[lauracoop]

I`m overweight due to medication

[ham_crisp]

As far as Im aware Im normal.

I'm 5'2" and my weight varies from 6st13 to about 7st2

[klikittyklak]

Usually avergae, but slightly underweight at the moment. All because of this phobia...I don't eat much. Well, that and my kitchen is infested and I don't have money to really eat out.

I know it's difficult for most of us to be relaxed and eat whatever our stomach feels like eating. It's when I'm least stressed that I eat the most, because I'm happy and I don't dwell much about any consequences, and my appetite also increases. Unfortunately lately my life has been quite stressful that's why I lost a few kilos, but hopefully slowly, very slowly, I ll gain them back again.


I think that we should try to moderate, eat food that is healthy and safe, and remember, that eating can be a real pleasure!

[katiepool129]

i've always been slightly underweight for my height, ever since i was small, think its just the way i'm built, i know in myself when i feel healthy.

[longgone]

I am skinny and I train a lot. I think I have eating issues as well,
not only because I have emet. I am pretty sure that if I didn't have
emet, I'd be bulimic.

[katsamsmom]

i am overwieght

[xxsophiaxx]

I'm 5'3 and around 110 lb. So I'm guessing that's about average.

[glitta_fairy]

I said average- I've put on a bit of weight that I'd like to lose... I'm 5"8, and 60 kilos (130 pounds)... Argh I hate weighing this much though! I tend to eat less when I'm anxious... at my lowest point I was probably 50 kilos (110 pounds), and looked really sickly and gross.

[Galadriel]

Hey Glitta, isnt that about normal for that height?

I put underweight, because I think I'm a tad under the normal weight for my height. (Im not quite sure what the normal weight is but I think maybe 125-130?)
Im 5'7" and weigh about 116-120 (in between there somewhere).

[glitta_fairy]

Yeah it's normal- but you have to take into account that my weight is basically all fat and no muscle [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img]so I'm kinda flabby right now. I guess I mean I need to tone up rather than lose weight.

[new.slang]

I'm pretty small weight wise, I'm 5'8 and weigh 111 lbs. I just have a very high metabolism. I don't have any sort of ed though. I love to eat and I have a decent body image. I would like to gain 10lbs.

[teethmom]

I have just lost 38 lbs with Weight Watcher, they helped me put food in its place...I am 5" 8' and weigh 148...I fight with food every day...I feel better skinny

[lianaismadchill]

im a little under average, but not completely underweight.

[harmonygirl72]

I am slightly overweight and doing Weight Watchers also. At 5'4", I weigh 156. My goal is 130 by my wedding in July!

to me 130 lb. is just fine for 5'8

[psumommaof3]

I'm definitly obese...working on, but still obese My emet doesn't affect my eating unless I'm extremely n or someone in my house is sick, or I've been around someone that I need to start worrying over.

[akizora]

Well, I dont avoid much food at all, I guess Im underweight at 89 pounds, 5'2"


But I think its because I have a fast metabolism 0_o

[raegen]

I'm underweight by a few pounds, I have been most of my life, but only because I have a high metabolism.

[johnlp]

Average weight at 180-185 at 6 foot tall.[img]smileys/smilies_14.gif[/img]

[harmonygirl72]

Ooh, I'm not as overweight as when I last posted on here! 5'4" and 150. Still 20 to go, but I'm pleased anyway! :-)

I'm underweight at 5'5" and 102 lbs, partly due to emet and partly due
to an ED. I don't eat a lot because of emet (hate to feel full,
because feeling full = n*) but I'm perfectly okay with my weight and
would like to lose those extra 2 lbs thanks to anorexia. So...
it's both for me.

[harmonygirl72]

5'4" and 149!!! Slowly, but surely! :-)

[misslady]

I have always been pretty skinny -- but I gained weight after I graduated college. In the past two years I have since dropped the weight and I'm now as skinny as I was in high school. It's definitely from this phobia. I am very picky abotu what I eat, and I make sure not to eat too much in case something happens.
