Q: Doctor Thinks I Have a Problem...
asked by: Becky on November 20th, 2006

So as some of you girls know I went to see the doctor on friday as i've lost a bit of weight.


Well he thinks I have an eating disorder Shocked he asked me some questions and I told him I can't be bothered to eat anymore cause I don't have time for it and if I eat big amounts I feel dodgy.


Well he has perscribed some anti-depressants and a high calories diet- yuk! My .B.M.I is 17.5 which is classed as underweight. I am actually gettinng used to my new body now though. I think I look ok.


Here is a pic from last night of me and neil (he came to drop kids off)


sorry my mums camera phone again with a cr-ap camera Rolling Eyes

The antidepressants will probably really help you, becks, don't be frightened to take them.

Do you think you have an eating disorder?

No I don't. It's not like I throw up my food Confused I just don't enjoy food as much as I used to so I don't eat it

An eating disorder doesn't necessarily mean you make yourself throw up. It can actually manifest itself in exactly the way you're describing - you go off your food, you lose some weight, you get a bit of a thrill from seeing the weight you've lost so it makes you eat less and the cycle continues. It's like you don't really want the food anyway but the weight loss gives you a buzz. As does saying to people "oh i've lost so much weight!" and hearing people comment on it.


I am speaking from personal experience and certainly not trying to put words in your mouth or trying to claim that you have an eating disorder. I'm just saying be careful - be honest with yourself.


If I have upset you I am truly sorry - it's really not my intention. At the end of the day only you know how you are feeling.

I think you look beautiful, but if you believe that you have a problem then you need to take care of it. It's hard to admit that you have a problem, it's hard for me to admit that I have a problem. But in some odd way I know that I have a problem. I can't find the time to work on it right now because I have too much to do, I am not loosing this weight no purpose, it just happened.
