Was Bulemic And Anorexic Now I Have the Opposite Problem Posted: 12-28-07 23:02pm
As a teen and younger adult before a child
and marriage for most of my teen years I
started out bulemic then stopped that
completely and found myself anorexic. I
ended up in the hospital at the age of 17
needing to be on IV because I was
underweight, anorexic, and
dehydrated...now my problem is just the
opposite. I am 28 and over the last year
have found that I have gained 30lbs. I
love to eat and when I crave it I just eat
it! I eat heavy foods as well but I
absolutely love it. 30lbs is a lot for me
being only 5' tall. I am uncomfortable in
my body and miserable at this weight. I
could never even be anorexic again even if
I tried because I am always so hungry. I
have taken all kinds of pills to help me
lose weight and it just doesn't help me. I
don't have the time to exercize with
working a full time job, a part time job,
and taking care of my family. Any
suggestions to stop caving into the craves
and stop eating so much?

Well, I think you should still be able to
eat what you would like or what you are
craving. It's all just a matter of portion
conrol. I lost 60 pounds by just strictly
counting calories. I narrowed my calorie
intake to 1200 calories per day. The
weight came off so fast! I still count
calories 2 years later and I have kept the
weight off. I just increased my calories
by 500-600 calories per day in order to
maintain. If you put your mind to it, you
can do it...I promise. Do you have any
type of hobby? Maybe you could resort to
this when you feel like you "need" to eat.
Pictures are also a great motivator. Good
luck!

i had a concern about my weight before. I
turned to eating more vegetables and later
more salad, fruits and also juiciing in my
diet. I also added on probiotics. This
works and had maintained my weight at 46kg
all these years. However be careful on
the brands of probiotics. Use those that
works which not necessary expensive.
cheers,

I've had a very similar problem, and what
helped me is completely staying away from
food until I just had to eat.
Now I don't think thats very good advice,
but its what helped me.
