I Feel So Fat That I Hate Myself. Pathetic I Know... Posted: 04-05-06 04:55am
Can anyone offer a little advice. For as
long as I can remember i've binged. Now
i've developed an addiction to exercise
and at the moment i'm running 30 minutes
every day which isn't actually that
extreme I suppose. The problem is I have
no job at the moment so that is the only
exercise and activity I really have. Also
being at home i'm binging more because I
get bored and i'm slowly starting to put
on weight. I'm 5'7 and weight 120 pounds
which is healthy for my height but I want
to get down to 112 at least. I was 112
about a month ago and I think I can do it.
If I cut my calories down to 1000 a day-a
small breakfast, lunch and dinner and
continue to exercise for 30 minutes every
day-at least- will the weight come off?
As long as I don't binge it will right?I
ate a lot last night so i've had a small
breakfast and am off to the gym now. I
know I should exercise more than 30 mins
but I get really bad asthma and just can't
handle it. My friends are like my enemies
too-they are always getting me to eat but
it's ok for them-they are slim! God I
need help...

Hi.
I think you don't need to lose any weight,
really, you must be fine like that.
Eating poor meals (specially a poor
breakfast) and exercising a lot will not
make you slimmer, because you will not be
taking good care of your body.
You, as everyone else, need to give fuel
to your body so it can work properly.. I
can even have the opposite effect: as you
don't give enought food to your organism,
it will keep every little thing you eat -
you can even gain weight that way. I know
because it happened to me...
Your friends are trying to help you,
listen to them...
If you really want to lose weight, talk to
a nutritionist - check at medical schools,
for exemple. At universities, doctors
aren't usually so expensive.
I'll be here if you need to talk or
anything else.

Hi thanks so much for your advice but
exercising on little food has made me
slimmer. I know people say starving your
body will make you fat but that's a little
of a lie. When I exercise and cut down my
food the weight falls off. For like 2
months I was so busy with work that I ate
very little but continued to exercise. I
must have lost like 3 stones.
Unfortunately i've put on a stone over
the last month partly because i've not
been working and so have been less active
and being bored you tend to eat more. I
binged so much last night that I was in
pain. I binged saturday, sunday, tuesday
yesterday and ive just had a whole tub of
ben and jerrys as well as 8 biscuits and 4
toast and its only 12.30pm. Sick I know.
I need to burn this all off so i'm going
to give myself more time to lose the
weight now. So i'm going to give myself
the next month to lose a stone which is
healthier. I've realised theat when I eat
sweet food or sweet drinks even diet
drinks it sparks off a major binge but
when I avoid these foods I dont binge. I
should lose a stone in a month. Averaging
3 pounds a week. The bad thing about
binging as soon as you stop the weight
drops off and so you think you can afford
to eat lots again when really you should
just stay healthy.

I know that you cam get slimmer that way,
i've gone throw that too! That and even
worse things.
But what I said is completelly true: you
can also put weight on - it depends on how
your organism is working...
And I also know that being bored -
specially at home - is and easy path to
eat too much. But try not to blame
yourself every single time you eat
something called "bad". It's done, so
let's move forward. Try to do something
that keeps you busy, like an hobby,
something that you like and that keeps you
away from those nasty thoughts...
I assure you it will be a lot more
healthier if you try go recover good
eating and nourishing habits, like i'm
doing now! :) and I feel a lot better -
during the first times, I didn't and I
felt it was too hard for me. And even
now, there are hard days for me, but I
just keep fighting this illness.
