I am not sure whether i have a eating disorder or not..

I am 5"5 and 47kg..

I maintained more or less the same weight when i was 5"4 but really at that time i look way more thinner than now...

I know i am thin now too but i really hate my belly, arms, legs.. i think all the parts of my body is too fat!!!! i tried hard to skip a meal or keeping myself busy so that i will have no time to eat...I used to weight myself once a week, now, i weighted myself about 3 times a week..

every morning, after lunch and before i sleep ... if i found that i weight a little more , i will eat less and try to do as much exercise as i can.. I love chocolate very much, yet i started to give it up and i feel guilty everytime i ate it and i will throw part of the chocolate away just to make me feel better..

what's more is.. my that time of the month has been late for 3 months only,, i really don't know what to do..i am going to have a appointment to a doctor next week,, i afraid that he will put me on a weight gain programme and all my effort will blow away!!!!

what can i do?? i am confused,, i know i need to gain weight for my own good but i still want to lose some weight just to be skinny!!

Yes, go see a doctor. It could be the start of an eating disorder

exact the same story, kept the same weight but got taller...

but anorexia is not that painful ...like bulimia,cos vomiting is woah.

but anorexiQ

for some people it's better to be bulimic it's a choice- eat and throw up or not eat.

No one will ever be skinny with bulimia.

Anorexia seems painful

Girl, you sound like my sister. She didn't have her period for more than half a year.

Here's some advice coming from a girl who's sister (and friend) had an eating disorder. I'm still keeping tabs on her and in order to do so I researched pretty much everything I need to know about diet and stuff, so she cannot cunningly fool me like she once could.

For a start, Get The Pill, that'll get your hormones back the way they're supposed to be. My sister had gone to the doc as well, but left out the fact she had just lost 25 lbs of weight the unhealthy way. She just told him she lost her period. She got the pill and she got her period back soon enough after that.

As for gaining weight, as much as I'd like to urge you to do so, I know that with your current self image you will only hate yourself for it and probably fall back into the same viscious cycle. You need to get a more positive self image girl. Look at yourself; and think of yhings about you that you are happy with. Get a healthier lifestyle; skipping meals won't make you skinny, it only slows doen your metabolism. Imagine what happens when you have your new years eve splurge. You'll gain weight, hate yourself and restrict yourself even more, which ultimately will lead to a full blown case of anorexia. And you do not want that.

So, what I'd recommend is;

1.split your meals into small meals spread out throughout the day.

2. ALWAYS eat breakfast (make it something healthy, like oatmeal for example)

3. Eat your heart out on veggies and fruit (make sure you get them minerals and vitamins girl)

4. Drink 8 glasses of water a day (approx.)

5. Exersise, but NOT excessively (that'll cause you to LOSE muscle, which will not make ya look pretty dear)

Best would be to give your bod a couple of days to rest in between. (So when you ran your ass of monday, take a break tuesday)

6. Do NOT obess over the number that's called your WEIGHT. It doesn't mean much at all. You've got fat-skinny girls (thin, but barely muscle, jiggly appearance) too y'know, and they might weigh less than that gorgeous toned girl who doesn't seem to have an ounce of fat on her.

7. Do NOT cut out fat completely. If you wanna know why I can tell you a true but gruesome story about a man who did. (spoiler: he ended up in the operation room in the hospital)

8. Eat your carbs. No they're not bad for you. Sure if all you do is eat pasta all day, yeah they are, but you really need some for energy. Get some in every meal.

There, that was long and probably boring, but I don't want your future to be the same as that of those poor models who died.

Long but helpfull.

Thanks a lot, Expresso..i am going to print your recommendation out and stick it on the wall so that i can remind myself....

well. i really don't know when i started to behave like this.. i have a fast metabolism, people called me a stick all the time .. even though i am a swimmer ( i have muscles!!) i am still skinny as hell.. I think my body started to change when i am 16 and my crazy metabolism seems to slow down a bit... that's why my body no longer become as thin as it used to.. not that flat-chested( 30 inches now), ribs and hip bones are not that obvious now..

it is kind of sucks that you used to be rail thin but suddenly people around you told you that you look rounder than before.. that's way i changed my diet 1 year ago...i know i have a healthy diet for all my life ( love eating vegetables, fruits, don't like candies and potato chips...) but i still want to make it even more healthier.. like i have yoghurt or cereals or a large bowl of fruit salad for breakfast instead of bread,, eat fruits only in my tea break where i used to have a large bowl of noodles!!!!, trying to aviod eating red meat but white meat.. the only decent meal i have in a day is my dinner because i have to eat it with my family together,, but still i managed to eat less.. and use " for health issue" as excuses..not to mention i drink a lot of water when my stomache is screaming like crazy!!! i know i should feel ashamed for what i did but i feel happy and successful for all these!!!

OH god.. i lost control again..

No one will ever be skinny with bulimia.

Yes, bulimics are very rare skinny

Yes, bulimics are very rare skinny

i always thought bulimia was

sort of like anorexia, in terms of

how much weight you lose. But I guess not

Bulimic are usually "normal" weight, which is why it is tougher to detect. However, most girls nowadays overexcercise instead of just vomiting, using laxatives, diuretics, or enemas.

i'm pretty skinny but i alwys think i'm fat and stuff so i try to eat as little as possible and skip meals and try excercising as much as possible...didn't exactly have disorders but came close

i'm pretty skinny but i always think i'm fat

Wierd. :|

Anyway, i think i have quite few probs with eating, but i hope that with some time i'll realize, that being skinny is not the most important thing. I just wish it would happen soon, cuz it's killing me.

Gals, you both have ED's. I'd suggest you watch the scary skinny models thread in order to find out how horrible skinny can look. And start eating for god's sake. (read my previous post)

Getting thin isn't that important. Not to lose your life over anyway. And did you know that not having your period for a long time can seriously damage your body? There was this 21 year old ballet dancer who didn't have her period for a long time, did a bone scan and found out she had the bones of a 70 year old. Really you don't want to do this to yourself. Looks fade overtime. And fast too. And then you'll hate yourself for being so stupid.

yeah i know that not eating will make you have menopause at an early age and your bones will become weaker and weaker. i know all the facts and stuff, but i can't help what i see and think

So true.... i ate more in these few days because the weather is cold.. and i am shocked to find out that my waist is getting rounder and rounder... i just lie to my parents that i ate all my dinner .. but actually i only ate like only 1/4 of it ..

well.. i am forcing myself to get rid of this [getting thin] thing.. i weighted myself twice or third time now.. I used to weight myself for 6 times!!!!!!

im trying to get over it too, but it's hard to not see what i see. i'm eating less and less each day to ry and lose the weight gain, even though my friends claim they can't see the weight, but still. i'm eathing healthier too, like more fruits. and i know that you get the "runs" after eating a lot of fruit. but i think i'm going to turn back into a vegetarian like before.

Maiara Galvao Vieira, a 14 year-old aspiring model is the fifth Brazilian woman to die of complications related to anorexia in 3 months:

Galvao Vieira, who was 1.70 meters tall [about 5' 7"] and weighed about 38 kilograms [about 84 lbs.] was in the Miguel Couto hospital for over a month, after having been in three other public hospitals and no one being able to diagnose the disease.

And no, it wasn't in some small town in Brazil, it was Rio de Janeiro. According to 20 Minutos, the victim's parents say that she was so weak that she was unable to climb the stairs to her school.

damn another one

My dad works at Miguel Couto, I'll ask him if he saw this girl. Poor girl
