Seeing this diet mentioned on another Pro-Ana site, I liked how simple and consistent it seemed; just eat only five (or three, depending on who you ask) bites at each meal. That's a lot easier than calorie counting or limiting to specific foods.
My question is though, does it actually work for weight loss and health maintenance? And how big should these bites be exactly? Has anyone tried this diet and have any advice to offer?

I *know* I've gained weight. Ever since my boyfriend came to stay with me for three weeks. I lost all control. He made me too happy. I'm not 110 pounds anymore. Hell, I might not even be 120 pounds at this point. I've consistently binged for over a month. I'm scared to come to reality with what I've done to myself. I stopped logging my calories officially, but I can guesstimate all the calories I've inhaled. I've had days of over 3,000 calories. 3,000 calories of unhappiness.
I'm scared of stepping onto the scale. I dream of the days where I was so excited to hop on every morning to have dropped half a pound everyday. When I fasted for a week and felt power. *I don't have power anymore.*
I remember getting up right before sleep and eating. Just constant eating. I was full, but I couldn't stop. My body wouldn't stop stuffing lard in my mouth. I kept eating and eating. I don't know *why*. I felt SICK to my stomach. But something kept urging me to keep eating and eating. Was this my body getting back at how much I restricted before?
Now, I'm here. Fatter than before and unhappier than ever.
I don't know what I'm going to do with myself. I've been just staring at the packaging for hours and hating myself.
Sorry to be so depressing, but I literally have no one else but you guys to tell these feelings to.

I am always thinking about food. What I'm going to eat, when I am going to eat it, how much it'll be etc.
Also, I've eaten too much and the guilt associated with it.
Food is such an obsession that when I do eat I SNAP and binge.
I.justify my behaviours around food to myself and othes with ever increasingly outlandish excuses.
This constant cycle is almost like drug addiction. But food.
Does.anyone else see thos pattern in.this behaviour? I wish cold turkey was an option...

Ok so this is a tad weird.
I absolutly LOVE soup. Of any kind really but generaly miso and chicken related are my favorites.
I have ZERO idea how to make miso soup.
I love tofu and seaweed
I buy shit tons of ramen and just boil the flavor packets in water and keep a jug in the fridge ( one packet usualy makes me a whole pot of broth 3-4 servings ) however i do not generaly like just normal chicken broth.
Can anyone suggest the best miso to buy and some very flavorful broth or lowcal soups for me?

Cottage cheese is a common "diet food" and a lot of people seem to consider it healthy because of the high protein content. However, if you look at the nutrition of it, cottage cheese seems really high in fat and pretty calorie dense (~220 calories per cup).
Do any of you eat cottage cheese?

Do any of you ever notice people in public that are so much skinnier than you it makes you kind of upset/motivates you? I mean theres always people around at average weights or even skinny, but not in a way that makes me jealous. When I'm walking around campus I only ever see maybe 1 or 2 people on any given day who are just **so** skinny it makes me super jealous... There was this girl who was probably only an inch or so shorter than me but she looked like she was *barely* 90lbs, her arms and legs were so tiny. Honestly it is the most triggering when I see people like this (not to mention shameful thinspo), and man I feel like a creep... :/
Also I'm curious if any of you who notice really skinny people in public ever think/assume they have an ed? I feel like a really bad person when I do..

is there ever a point at which you stop obsessing about food? I feel like I'm thinking about it constantly, whether I'm picturing myself eating it, planning what I'm going to eat next and when, or trying as hard as I can to push it out of my mind or angry at myself for thinking about it at all.
Whenever I see someone eating food or hear someone talking about it I automatically do a tally in my head of what I estimate the calories to be. I feel like I see a little number pop up over every food item. Even when I feel like I'm not hungry, I'm still thinking about food.
This sub has been helping me so much and I'm currently at the lowest weight I've been in my adult life - BMI 22.1, still fat I know :( but I'm still keeping at it - and I just want to hear from you skinnies who have clearly mastered control over hunger and food. Is it necessary to be obsessive in order to be as thin as we want to be? Is there a way to stop caring and still not eat?

I'm finally out of the 20s under the new BMI. This is a recent low weight. I was lighter when I was on holiday (around 46kg), and when I was in the mental hospital (couldn't stomach any of their food - another patient with similar problems who had money and the privilege to go out eventually started to go down to M&S and get halfway edible food, so I left at 48kg, but looking at the photos I took in there I must have been down to 46 or lower). However, this is a recent low weight! I'm so happy.

Hello! I'm Priadel. I posted here back when we had ~30 subscribers, but I don't want to return to my old account. Things have changed for me, and I'm starting anew.
I'm 157cm, 48.1lbs, BMI 20.25 under the Oxford calculator. I was diagnosed with AN in 2012, but currently have no ED diagnosis. I had ARFID for sixteen years, but it was never diagnosed as the diagnosis did not exist in days of lang syne.
My lowest weight was between 25kg and 30kg, I believe. The last weight that I was allowed to see when I was first hospitalised was 30.2kg, but I was in full weight-faking gear. Weights in underwear, heavy jumper, Docs, the works. I'll never know my absolute lowest weight, and that pains me.
I don't plan on going back to my lowest weight, as I have a boyfriend who'd be heartbroken. I do, however, plan on losing quite a bit of weight. My goal would be around 42kg.
I've already binged massively today, so I'll probably be in the 49s tomorrow. I need to be in the 46-47s for Friday. It's only Wednesday, so, I believe that I can make it. I'm going to make myself some very strong cups of coffee, which will hopefully be able to stand in for the expensive caffeine pills I'd previously been taking.
Here we go again.

I'm a stay-at-home mom of two. My oldest goes to school, but my toddler is glued to my side 99% of the day. My husband works 2nd shift, so he leaves in the afternoon and gets home shortly before midnight.
This leaves only a small timeframe for me to binge and purge. My school-age daughter goes to bed at 8:00, and the baby usually crashes around 9:30-10:00. So I have about two hours free before my husband gets home in which to complete my shameful routine.
Tonight, however, baby woke up mid-binge, and stayed awake until after the husband got home. So I've not been able to purge, and I feel like I want to die. I can feel every bit of this ridiculous amount of food creeping its way through my system, and I hate myself. I don't want to do this anymore, but I don't have the willpower to restrict as much as I need to. I swear, I can already feel the carbs processing into sugar, and solidifying in my thighs, belly, and ass. I'm tired of needing laxatives to feel clean, no matter how much I shower.
How can I transition from binge/purge to restricting? I'm not really interested in "recovery", so to speak, but something needs to change. Please help me.
I'm sorry if this type of post isn't allowed. I'm just so alone in this, and I didn't know where else to turn. Just let me know, and I'll delete if I need to.

**1:** Each episode is great, will catch your attention and keep your mind off food for nearly an hour. We all know how slow time passes when hungry.
**2:** Even if you have an urge to snack while watching films/serials, this is a medical drama. Some scenes will straight up kill your appetite.
**3:** Cameron. She's a main character in the serial, thinspo material. Motivates me every time she enters a scene.

I juat discovered this sub a few days ago and feel like I've finally found a group that I don't have to put a mask on for. Thanks for making this such a community.
So three days out of the week, I work in an office. It's an open office setup with 10 desks all next to each other, and 99% of the time it is dead silent. I always start fasts or restricting when I'm home, but when I go to the office a few days later, I'm not used to it yet and my stomach GROWLS when I get hungry. I munch on almonds or carrots because they keep me full for at least a few hours, but it completely throws me off and I feel like I'm starting over every day. I don't want to eat, but literally everyone in the office can hear my stomach going insane if I don't. Do you have any tricks to get it to shut up without eating or going way off track? I've tried just chugging water or coffee, but it only works for half an hour at most, and I'm there for 8 hours every day.
Thanks!

For a year now, since I went inpatient, I did everything I was supposed to. I didn't count anything, I didn't exercise - as in, I gave up a year I spent building up to a marathon. I didn't weigh myself. I ignored every urge to fast, or to be too conscious of myself or whatever. And all that's happened is I've crossed a number I'm too embarrassed to share - less than a lb a week, slowly, over a year, because it just wouldn't stop even when I told my clinical team that it wasn't working.
There's nothing on this earth I hate more than being dismissed out of hand because of the label 'bulimic'. I can't stand being treated like a child, like I'm concerned about something that doesn't matter. Like I'm some sort of idiot for realising the whole world basically fucking revolves around your appearance.
So I'm back to living off of protein powder, chicken breast, black coffee. Tracking and counting everything. Because what difference does it make? I can either be unhappy because I'm fat, or unhappy because I'm controlled by food.
Actually, there is a difference. Being unhappy and fat means being alone, means struggling at work, means... fuck it, just means being alone, which *fuck* *that*. There's zero choice there. Being loved means a million times more than a pat on the head from a bullshit psychiatrist for not exhibiting 'behaviours'.

Urgh. I am so disgusting. I haven't had the urge to binge for over a month now - until I seen that bag of grapes. It must have been a 1 kilo bag. Devoured them all like a fat disgusting pig. I wasn't even hungry. I don't understand that impulse to eat them all. I purged as much as I could, but it's so difficult for me to induce vomiting - I have to take a wiff, or sip, of straight bourbon. So disgusting.
What makes this situation especially difficult for me is that normally after a slip up, I'd fast for 2-3 days... but I have lunch plans with a girlfriend tomorrow, and then dinner date with the boyfriend the following day. Honestly just want to shut myself away, and hide - I'm too fat and disgusting to be outside right now T_T"
*takes a deep breath* I'm more upset with the fact that I let myself eat all that food impulsively - not so much the calories. I feel weak. Beaten. I will have to make up for it this weekend - gain control back, fast for a few days.
Sorry for the rant, just really needed it off my chest.

Brief intro: 22, F, 5'6, around 115-130 pounds depending on eating habits, which have been appalling of late.
Previous medical diagnosis of AN in 2011, got down to 95 lbs, went back up to 135 stress eating at the end of 2013, got back to 110-5 a couple of months ago. It's a never ending yoyo, with me, usually linked with instability and stress in my life.
At the moment, I have a lot of ice cream in my freezer...and yet I want to lose at least 5-10lbs of body fat. Signed up to a gym, I have so many good intentions, they just always start on a Monday. Please keep me on the straight and narrow. I need that anonymous kick up the backside to move my ass, and will gladly give help and encouragement to anyone who asks, in return.

I understand that when people lose weight, they can't exactly pick and choose where it'll come off of. And, especially in this sub, it's become accepted that to get the goal body we want, we may have to give up a cup size or two. Now, only being a B cup to begin with, that kinda sucks, but I've come to terms with it.
However, when I go to r/thinspo, many of the beautiful women have still retained their bust. I mean, unless they were a DDD or up to begin with, I don't know how they can have the dream waist, thighs, legs, arms, ribcage and everything else, but still have a breast size on the upper range of a C cup.
Is there something I'm missing? Just good freaking genetics? Are there any women in this sub that have had similar results or can help a lady out with some advice?

So my dad bought my sisters and I mcdonalds at 11:00 ish as a late night random treat.
I just got a junior chicken because it's smaller and I didn't want my dad to spend some money on something that I'll purge right after.
As soon as I ate it I went upstairs and purged and my sisters (Mom and dad are out) just asked if I was okay and made me sit on the carpet aha.
Ive been faking sick for a few days after someone heard me vomit.
Idk why but im feeling so free.
But I feel bad because my dad felt bad about getting mcdees in the first place (my sister called him from work) and both of my parents have been worrying over me and telling me to rest...
But they don't know I did it to myself.
I dunno how to explain it but um ya<3

Hi guys!
To preface: I've seen some posts asking about working at food-related jobs and how to help cope with urges to eat. I work at a Chinese restaurant where I get free Chinese every night I work, along with unlimited rice and fortune cookies. My other job; a movie theater, I have free popcorn and soda, and the gourmet cookies and candy are half off.
So I thought I'd give you guys some tips and tricks that I find helpful to resist the need to eat.
1. Recognize when you're bored eating.
I find that a lot of the time I'm tempted to grab a cup o' popcorn is when I'm bored af in between sets. If I acknowledge this to myself, it makes it easier to avoid. So I will mentally note that I am bored, and therefore want to eat and instead I make myself a cup of tea, or drink some black coffee. Recognizing the habit has been a huge factor in cutting it out of my life.
2. Chew gum! Pretty self explanatory, if I'm not hungry the feeling of doing something like chewing is a nice way to take food off the brain. Also the minty aftertaste discourages me from eating, the only problem is I go through a few packs of gum a week.
3. Distract yourself. If you sit around a lot at your job; find something to do while you're bored. I draw. You could browse reddit (I look at /thinspo when I'm hungry personally), do your homework, listen to music etc. Even better, if you can, try doing small exercises like wall sits. At the Chinese place when I'm carrying shit to the kitchen and back I do bicep curls with it. Find the little things you can do because anything is better than nothing at all!
4. Remind yourself that it's worth it.
Whenever I want to grab a cookie from concessions, I snap a band on my wrist and think to myself that godammit I *am* more than my urges and I *will* get to where I want to be, because I am strong and have made it this far. I don't need the cookie, I want it. And overcoming desire for physical pleasure has made me a better person for it. You are resilient. You are strong. You can reach your goals, it just takes willpower :)
Welp, if I can think of anything else I'll be sure to add it to the post, I hope this was a little helpful to some of you out there. Share your tips and tricks too, I'm sure you guys have some stuff up your sleeves!

i'm planning on going until sunday, then assessing how i feel after that. i'd like to do 21 days if possible, but i'm working on small goals right now. i just hit my first major weight goal (<54kg) and i'm already approaching my next goal (<52kg), so i felt a celebratory fast was in order!

So, I must admit that I kinda lost track of basically everything during summer break, but now I'm working my way down again.
Yesterday was a good day, I ate a slice of bread with cheese for breakfast and a soup for lunch. And I had 1,5h of P.E. and 1,5h of gymnastics in my club.
My weight right now is just 4lbs lower than my HW... Time to get back on track. I'll start out with a realistic GW; 135 by my birthday (9/1)

So one of my coworkers brings in cupcakes every week. They usually go pretty quickly so I can lie and say I had one. But today is my birthday, and she brought me like 18 cupcakes to my desk and said they were just for me! Obviously I thanked her and took one, because it was so sweet of her to do that! But I just can't eat it...I made up a sign and put them in the break room so everyone can share them and I REALLY hope they're gone before 6. But this one is still sitting on my desk. My office mate saw me take it...what do?!
Edit: The cupcake is... no more.
Edit2: And now I feel guilty for wasting food -.-

I've been killing myself on 300 calories a day this week and it's completely worth it now. I'm not going to waste the best years of my life hating myself and my fat. This proves that I've got the willpower to change myself, and I'm not going to stop. I've got a long way to go, but at least I don't feel like a complete stranger in my own body now.
Thank you to this sub for all of your support!

Soo after my insanity fast which went really well (!) while I was feeling really in control and like.. flirty and cute, my SO found my black book (while looking for pens) containing all really aggressive documentation/self hate notes/quotes/motivation/poetry/emergency laxatives/measuring tape and they lost their cool because.. I mean, it's intense in there. Luckily I have always been given the benefit of the doubt, so I did I sneaky double blind and said that all that stuff was in there *because* it was sketchy and I didn't want anyone to assume anything of the ED variety ha! ha-ha!
We then went grocery shopping and 'partied' (ate like shit and drank calorie coma alcohol) without really my consent or desire :( It's cool between us, as I've eaten in front of them for the past week and shook off their accusations, but the calories are creeping up on me and I'm gaining.. NOW we *have* to go out for dinner because they feel bad about making me feel bad for earlier this week - it's eating this or going to the movies, etc, which offers even worse food. If I don't "enjoy" myself they will ask what's wrong. I just got all thin and now I *have* to eat because I don't see any conceivable way to get myself out of this. :/ any tips for low calorie eating out/making food disappear off my plate.. but not into my mouth??

Basically, I have 2-3 hours in the middle of the day where I have nothing much to do besides work out in the school's gym
(I don't eat lunch). How do I work out and not smell/look/feel like crap afterwards? My afternoon classes are in small, tightly packed classrooms. I'm not sure if there are showers , but I can change in the bathroom.
If it matters, I prefer the stationary bike, elliptical and stair climber and usually can go 30-45 minutes (on the bike I can go for hours).

Edit going with the 6's, thanks guys :)
TL;DR Do you buy clothes for the size you are or the size you *want to be?*
Have been a size 8 in AE pants forever. I have a stack of different washes, colors, lengths, etc. A week and a half ago I bought some new ones that fit great (haven't worn them yet; tags are still on). I tried 6's on in-store at that time and they were just a *bit* too tight in the thigh and comfortable in the waist (whereas size 8 are comfortable in the leg and too loose in the waist).
Since I've actually managed to gain some self-discipline and have actually started losing weight *consistently* I've been arguing with myself all day about exchanging the 8's I just bought for 6's. It's like...
I want to. I should. I shouldn't. I will. I won't. I'm going to keep losing weight. None of my pants will fit. I'm going to gain all the weight back. The 6's won't ever fit. I'll have wasted money. Etc.
It's driving me crazy! What should I do? What would you do?

I started drawing about the same time I discovered this sub, thinking it'd be a neat way to keep track of my progress - you know how hard it is to just look in the mirror and see a change?
Well I figured this could be a physical way for me to notice that things have changed, I have gotten better, I just don't notice it when it happens because it's so slow.
So, because I am in no way able to post pictures of myself (hahahahahhahahahahahaha never), [here is my drawing progress!](http://imgur.com/a/oqwQ9) The first is from April, I think, and the last ones were drawn last night.
I was so proud of that first one, it seems crazy now but I was. Kind of how you're super proud when you lose your first five pounds, and then 35 down the road it seems silly. But I think it's extremely important to be proud of those 5 pounds, almost moreso than the 35, just as it was for me to be proud of that first drawing.
Just wanted to say thank you to all you people on here, you are an amazing bunch. Here's to another four months... Or four years :)
(also, how do I flair this? no idea. hope "goal" seems appropriate :)))))) )

Basically my mom took me shopping but I didn't try on anything.
at home I wore a pair of pants and they fit me right, I tried on another one but a size bigger and it didn't fit me (I couldn't get it over my big stupid butt) and another pair the same size was too small
Im stupid for thinking that I was skinnier than I really was
I should have known how fat and gross I am
I tell myself everyday
I bought t shirts that were a little shorter on the arms and of course all you can see were my fat stupid flabby arms
why did I think I could pull it off
its going to be so embarrassing to tell my mom that they don't fit.
So im just going to work hard until they do
work hard until they're loose
so we have to buy new pants because I was skinny not a fat you know what.
I hate myself for forgetting for a moment how fat and gross my body is
im an idiot
I hate myself for being FAT
I cant show my face at school on September 8 because ive probably gained so much weight.
Im so sad that I want to eat a cupcake to make me happy
but you know what they say "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"

But I seriously felt like I was going choke, and I got scared so I had to stop. God knows why I ate 3 slices of pizza in the first place, I didn't even finish my third before I went to go purge.
But every chunk was really big in my throat and I swallowed back half of it
How can I reduce these chunks, so I don't choke, thanks <3

I've become an expert in substitution/elimination of high (or even medium) calorie foods. So I eat 700-900 calories a day before exercise, but I actually eat a lot in volume between roasted/steamed vegetables, salad, berries, pickles, low cal jello, diet soda, zoodles/shiratake noodles, almond milk, Splenda etc.
I count every calorie and weight most my foods, so I'm fairly confident in my calorie tracking. I eat a lot yet not a lot. Is this wrong?

Hi.
I feel weird finally posting after lurking for so long, but I can't do this anymore. I made a specific account just to post here- I hope that is ok. I'll be happy to give the mods my regular account for verification purposes if needed.
Ok, on to the purge (tee-hee)
I don't know what I am, who I am, or what I'm good for... I've never had any sort of "official" diagnosis, but have struggled (oh my god, the struggle) with disordered eating all my life. Periods of restriction leads to b/p behavior leads to outright binges for extended periods of time... lather, rinse, repeat.
I am coming out of a vicious binge, b/p cycle. A breakup and abortion are at the forefront of this particular storm... I have been struggling with depression and self-loathing, feeling like I don't deserve to be happy (thin) and eating (punishing), eating (punishing), and eating (punishing) myself to no end.
I am sick of it.
I am ready to be in control again. I desperately need to be happy. I need to love myself again. I long to feel strong and invincible again. I just want to be happy.
I hope to bring support to the community, as well as inspiration and ideas. I am looking for acceptance and accountability.
I hope I fit in here. Thank you.

Hey there... I'm new to actually posting around here, been a lurker on my main account for months blind to what was happening to my body. Finally it hit me when I had eaten two helpings of dinner and wanted more... and some dessert. I used to eat 800 cal. A day now I eat that in a sitting. I used to be 120 now I'm almost 200.. I don't know when my binge eating got so bad but it has and it's more than just a little depressing. I want to see the fat go away once and for all. I want to see skinny. I want to feel beautiful. But now I can't even look in a mirror without feeling disgusting.
Sorry that I'm rambling... I really don't know what to say here honestly, I guess I just want friends I can talk to about this and support in it. My boyfriend doesn't quite get it. I can't half ass weightless because than I just go back to binging like always.
So hello! I'm B (not comfortable with a full name) and I'm just starting with a first goal weight of 170... I'm a 23 year old female who is quite friendly to everyone! So yup hi.

Sorry if this is the wrong sub for this. Like the title says, I used to be on ana and lost about 15 pounds in a month. Then I went to mia and regained that weight. So obviously I want to go back on ana so I can go back to normal or better. But I've been trying and its much harder than it was before. I'm stuck with purging for now. Any advice on switching from ana to mia?

I binged on chocolate bars yesterday and I'm still craving them today. I want to stop eating this stuff because it makes me feel like I'm just like my mother, who constantly binges on chocolate and brings home bags of sugary foods every week. She's a horribly judgmental person and I don't want any of her habits. I know this is just my brain messing with me, but I've convinced myself that every time I eat anything with sugar in it, it's my mom fighting me or trying to make me fat. Obviously not true. But it's like my disorder is using my fear of my mother against me. Just perfect. I don't want her to get the best of me and I don't want to eat the garbage she brings home anymore. Every time I eat it, I remember her telling me how weak and reckless I am, "just like her".
My point is, what can I do to break my junk food addiction? I'm not even hungry but I'm constantly craving it.

This is my first post and I am on mobile, so I'm not sure how to flair. I'm so sorry, I can try to figure it out on my computer tomorrow!
Pics: http://imgur.com/a/gTWqn
Anyways, I need advice. I'm 21, 104lbs and 5'2 1/2". My SW was 120. My lowest was 102, currently 104. Basically, I didn't plan on acquiring an ED (does anyone lol?) but after hitting 110 I realized I would never be happy at a "normal" weight.
I've been restricting calories and exercising a lot to lose those 16 pounds. The photo in which I'm wearing a yellow sports bra and then a blue t-shirt shows a great comparison. In the yellow bra pic I weighed 112- my body hit a plateau there with a 1200 calorie diet and regular exercise. In the blue t-shirt pic, I had just completed 90 days of p90x3 combined with a 800-900 calorie diet. Again, I hit a plateau - I weighed 102 in that pic.
In the rest of the pics I weigh like 104-105, how I look right now. My goal was to go to 100, but I think the only way to attain slim thighs is to take it to 95. This week I started on a 600cal/day diet with daily work outs. I've also began purging "bad" foods that I eat, even if I only had a few bites.
Basically I need advice because I'm happy with my abdomen, arms, collar bones, etc. what I hate are my thighs. They will not budge. They measure 19" around - the same measurement from my starting weight! I included the leggings pic so you can see --- my legs are so fat especially in proportion to my upper body :(
Idk if 600 is restrictive enough. Idk how to get over this plateau. Do my legs really look as horrific as I feel like they do? How much do I have to lose to be considered "skinny" to the average person? (Last weekend my friend said something like "yeah, you're thin but you still look healthy!" And it crushed me.)
Anyways, all criticism and advise is greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading!!!

While visiting my parents today, I was looking at myself in their bathroom mirror and for once I was actually pleased with what I saw. I actually looked slim, versus when I look at myself in my bedroom mirror and look like a whale. I've noticed this same thing whenever I'm at a friend's place and happen to glance in a mirror.

So I just got back from vacation and was looking through my photos and was depressed to see that I look fat in all of them. I realize that I’m not nearly as skinny as some of you lovely ladies, but at 5’2” and 105.2 (BMI of 19.2 standard or 19.9 using the adjusted model), I know I’m skinnier than most people my age (32). Yet I’ll see photos of friends who I KNOW are heavier than me, and some of them look thinner.
So [here](http://imgur.com/a/1B46r#Qknkhn2) are two photos from my trip, and here are my questions (please be honest—I don’t need things sugar-coated!):
- Do I look like I’m 105 in these pictures? Maybe I just don’t know what 5’2” 105lbs should look like and my expectations are off. I will say (and I hope this isn't offensive) but sometimes I see photos people post of themselves on here and although they look really good, they don’t look nearly as skinny to me as their BMI would suggest. So is it the camera or my perceptions?
- If I don’t look like I’m 105, what weight do I look like? (Please be honest!)
- Or is it a matter of how I’m posed/my posture/what I’m wearing/the fact that the person who took these photos is 6’? I feel like I look skinnier when I see myself in a mirror, so maybe it’s just the camera “adding 10 pounds.” But that’s not much comfort, because I want to look good in photos! But I have bad posture and am awkward about posing for photos and never really know what to do. So how can I fix this??? I need concrete advice on how to position my arms, shoulders, legs, etc.
Thanks for all your help! You guys are the best!
**Edit 2:** At the risk of seeming obsessive, I decided to take a video of myself, since a lot of people say that's more realistic than a photo. Even though I've already eaten/drank a bunch today and am a bit bloated, and there are still lots of areas that need a lot of improvement, this video gives me a bit of hope that I don't look quite as bad as I do in the photos. Anyway [here](https://vid.me/ATtn) it is (NSFWish warning: bathing suit).
**Edit:** Here are some other pictures for comparsion. [This](http://imgur.com/EMt564S) is me last year at about 107 (in the same clothes, although it's not a full-body shot). [This](http://imgur.com/Z1kYviA) is me this past winter at about 112. [This](http://imgur.com/Yt4JUnn) is from a few weeks ago when I was at about 105.5—it's more of a natural, non-posed shot. And [this](http://imgur.com/UFwDgrs) was taken this morning at 105.0 as a progress pic for myself (NSFWish: bathing suit). My thighs look horrible.

I am on a 30 hr fast and want to know if anyone has tried fasting while taking a nootropic like modafinil or oxiracetam.
I ask because fasting makes me less mentally sharp and I'm also fairly new to nootropics (cognitive enhancers).
Also, I see some feedback that modafinil can have some light appetite supressant side effects. (Hey, it comes in handy for my goals, why not? Side effect or just a fringe benefit?)

So I reached my goal weight about a month ago and was around 95-96 for a week and since then my scale will show anywhere from 97 to 100 and it fucking pisses me off. I exercise hard. Every day. Sometimes I run 3 miles and do a 45 minute circuit training (Jillian Michael's banish fat boost metabolism) the same day. Mostly I do one or the other but still try to get in a walk or something to reach my 10,000 step s day goal. I haven't been so good at the eating part but I'm ALWAYS below 1400. Most days my goal is 1000 or 1200 and trust me, I count everything. Every fucking tic tac you know what i'm sayin! My husband said maybe I'm gaining muscle, if the workout video is easy for you, which it is now, that means you've gained muscle. But in everything I read it's nearly impossible to gain anything at a calorie deficit. I'm below my tdee or bmr whatever it's called, I've done the research yet the scale is showing higher numbers. I want to stay at my goal of 95 for a couple months and then after a wedding in November in which I am a bridesmaid and want the dress to still fit properly, well, after that my ultimate goal weight is 87. Anyways, any advice you guys have would be very much appreciated!

I've done two day fasts and usually I just feel empty/hungry and once I break the fast I feel normal (in terms of bodily function). Lately it's become less of a struggle to restrict. Maybe it's the depression but whatever.
Last night, after realizing I'd barely eaten in two days (I say two days, but that's a guess because the days blur a bit) because I'd just forgotten, I lost control and binged on a big plate of plain pasta. I immediately felt sick. I went to the bathroom and [TMI warning] lost a lot of water and solids out of my eh... back end... at once. I figured that it was just because that many carbs was too rough on a stomach that had been empty awhile.
But I still feel weird today. Not sick weird; I was only sick that one time. But my tummy doesn't feel empty like normal. I don't have a physical desire to eat, which is something I haven't felt in years. Even when I restrict, I usually feel physically hungry I just never act on it. But all I had today was a cup of coffee and some Starbucks tea (less than 200 cal for the tea) and I still feel like eating. My stomach feels unusually full, almost uncomfortably so.
Is this normal for people like us? Or is something wrong with my stomach? I know you guys aren't doctors, but this feels weird.

Literally just gives me more motivation to not eat. And also destroys me emotionally.
On a side note; if I don't excersize at all (except for walking obv) but I'm only consuming about 300 calories a day, how long do you guys think it will take me to waste away? As it is now I do an at home workout routine every day but when uni starts in a week I'm not gonna have time to do that shit and also have a job. Just curious, thanks guys :)

I am not liable in any way for the influence my reported actions may have on your own. This regime is not fringe-friendly-healthy and is being pursued experimentally by my person as a test to determine how effective these restricted attempts may be for short term, likely unsustainable weight loss. Results may vary based on metabolism, BMI, age, exercise intensity/duration, etc.

Starting at 7 or 8 AM (When im going to let myself eat) does that binge count as my cal intake because then I cant eat for the day.
Im fine with doing a water fast for the first time.
also if I do my diet after my waterfast will I gain weight?

I'm starting to get to the age where kids are becoming relevant (it's hard lol) and I've just been thinking alot about how to raise my kids with healthy habits. I just don't know how, I guess?
All my life has either been a) snacking om cookies all day long or b) restricting like a maniac. I don't think I even know what a healthy lifestyle is, and I'm so afraid that my kids will get bad habits on either side of the scale. I would hate to see them grow up with too much unhealthy food and never moving themselves, but for them to turn out like me is my worst nightmare.
So my question, I guess, is what do you think are good ways to help kids down the right track, without making them centered around their bodies?

I've been losing weight but think I've been getting flabbier, especially my stomach... is this all in my head or does looser skin/muscle atrophy make you flabbier for a while after you lose weight?

Thanks for the reply. I'm bringing some Quest bars, a huge thing of pickles, lots of water, and some diet soda which always fills me up.
I am also bringing a lot to read if it is rainy at all so I'm occupied with something.

I got back from a three week summer camp at the end of July. The last day, I weighed 94.6 lbs and had made progress the entire time. I was really happy because I'd be at a good weight when school started if I continued like that. However, I was really sad after I came back because I missed a lot of close friends, so I ate without control and binged, and as a result, I'm around 105 lbs now. School starts Monday. I feel like a fat failure and I think that people will notice and laugh at me. I'm going to run every day like I did before and consume 500 calories, less if I can without making my parents suspicious, but I'm kind of worried about them. I'm scared I'll be fat forever and I'm going to try really hard to be as skinny as I can by October (when a friend who remembers skinny me visits) but I'm so terrified I'll fail again.

So instead of going 600 per day, go 4200 per week. So if you fuck up one day and you're like at 2100, you can still be under 4200 if you fast the next days or really restrict. It's better because weight loss is long term and a lot of people will fuck up the day and binge the rest of the day. This would be incentive to not do that (unless of course you manage to exceed 4200 during the week...then I really don't know.) I personally haven't tried this, but I'm planning to.

I am preggo and do NOT want to gain any body fat. I am 15 weeks.
I am 5'5 105 and maintaining on 1500-1700 daily with walking 6-10 miles per day.
Once a week or so its like I lose my mind and binge 2100-2400 Cals. I punish myself with two hours of cardio to follow. I WANT TO PURGE SO BADLY. I'm going to restrict like crazy for a while to follow because I fucked up badly. Many pregnant women who don't eat have perfectly fine babies because they take from you what they need.
I don't know what to do. How fat will the overeating make me?

Hello! At my preferred weight, I am usually 115, I'm shooting for 110/105 range. I'm currently almost 130 :(
My main issue is sugar. I have these incessant, ridiculous sugar cravings and I give into them quite often. Even when I really try to stay away, I usually end up with a bag of candy or diet soda in my hand on the way to class.
When I am at my preferred weight, I rarely feel hungry, my stomach never growls unless I skip a planned meal, and I'm mostly disinterested in food. With the recent weight gain and increased eating, my stomach feels empty quite often- which tempts me to become overly full (in an effort to feel better- I have depression, so I usually do anything my brain thinks could make me feel happier for a second or two).
Tips for ending sugar cravings/feeling full while my stomach shrinks down to its normal size?

On Tuesday night I gave my housemate my scales because he said it was a good idea that I stop weighing myself. I was doing it every day morning and night and because I'm a numbers person I was getting really obsessive about it.
The problem is he took them away Tuesday night and I've been anxious ever since, and asked for them back tonight. I can tell he's upset with me, or it just makes him sad.
I needed them though, the best way to describe what it felt like was my weight was snowballing every second I didn't know what I weighed. Not knowing made it increase in my head. Now I've weighed myself it's like the snowball has stopped rolling, and it's a weird feeling of relief. I've gone up from 63kg to 67kg and I'm really sad (not in two days I don't think but I fluctuate). It's too heavy and I hate myself for it.
Question is, how do you make people who know about your ED feel better about it? I can't stand that I'm making him sad but I also can't fix it by just eating normally, I can't do that.

I'm on mobile and this is my first post so this might be sloppy.
I'm 5'2", my highest weight was 146lbs and I lost 40lbs by restricting then I got a gut infection and went down to 93lbs (lowest weight). At that point I had developed smas (superior mesenteric artery syndrome) and my doctors would not take me off of the j tube till I weighed 108lbs and my parents watched my weight. Although some doctors in the hospital said they suspected I was anorexic ( I'm binge restrictive) it was well documented that I had nausea issues so I claimed I simply never had an appetite/I must have a digestive disorder. This took place about eight months ago and my parents seem to not care or know about my Ed only that I'm too skinny and they say that even when I'm 110lbs. So I was "recovering" more or less up until this last month. I find that it helps me deal with my ptsd and Aug.19 was the third year since I had been raped so it's defiantly an emotional time. I was binging on the 16 and 17and I had gained 4.6lbs (102.6 from 98) so I decided it would be best to burry my head in restricting for multiple reasons and lost a lb on the 18. After waking up from night terrors I smoked a cigarette and drank a root beer, it was 12:34 in the am and I promised myself a 24 hr fast. It was the first 24 hour fast I've done in months but it was incredibly easy all I had was water and one cup of tea. At 12:38 on August 20 I ate one of my favorite binge foods, salami but only one slice about 28 cal. I started feeling discomfort in my abdomen and drank some water but the discomfort only got worse. I got on my knees and put my head on the floor (think child's pose) and that made me feel a bit better but it wasn't long after getting up that I started vomiting. My mom thinks I have smas again but I weigh 98.8 lbs as of this morning and I know that is just a low healthy weight but doctors had confirmed when I weighed 103lbs the smas was still there (the tube got clogged so they did another barium x-Ray and replaced it) but I don't know how I feel about that theory. My boyfriend thinks I went too long without eating but I don't know why my body would reject food after that instead of be grateful that I gave it anything. Lately when I eat anything I have slight discomfort but not like last night, I just wish my stupid body would do what I want. Any ideas or opinions would be appreciated.
Edit: I should have explained that the nausea problems I was having months ago that were well documented are due to endometriosis which does make me vomit but only when I have my period and I don't and shouldn't be getting it for weeks so that is technically a third possibility but I truly doubt it because the pain was not the same.

So a few days ago I ate nothing except a bunch of fruit. Like, a box of raspberries, an apple, a plum, a grapefruit, and some figs etc...
I know that's a ton of calories but I'm not sure what the long term effects are? Like I was still under my caloric limit for the day but if I theoretically over-ate a ton of fruits every day would I gain weight?
There's no fat in fruit so I'm not 100% sure how that relates to what I'm doing. Any input you guys have is appreciated :)

hi skinnies :)
i've been losing okey i think. the scale is going down slowly but everyday i see more of myself that i can like without compromise.
HOWEVER, here are a list of things that's been happening to me:
1. weight loss slowed if not plateaued
2. constantly feeling dehydrated
3. chapped/pale/dry lips
4. hair loss(?) i'm not sure if this is what happens but my hair has been falling outwith little resistance when i'm in the shower, several strands at a time!
5. relentless fatigue/hunger.
i eat up to 1000 kcals a day so this really shouldn't be happening??? please recommend some solutions to these that ISN'T calories.

I'm going away to university in about a week, so I'm excited about getting to live alone and choose what I want to eat without having to fake or hide from my family. I'm hoping I can get back to just restricting without purging now that I have more control over my food choices. But I'm worried that that because of the dining halls, I'll binge a lot and then purge a lot too. I know that bulimia is common among university women. Any advice, experience from people who live alone or attend university?

I got confronted on my weight loss earlier this week and now I'm being watched very closely. I temporarily upped my calories to 1200 but secretly upped my exercise as well. The deficit is still about the same.
But I've already gained two pounds.
And at first it was kind of fun and relieving to relax some of my food rules but that wore off quickly. Now it's a serious struggle to eat anything. I gave up yesterday and just stopped at 600 calories. I feel so full and so freakin bloated. When I eat it feels like the food just sits in my stomach for hours. I'm working out so much but that scale just goes up. Am I so broken that I gain on anything above 600 net? I hate myself right now.

I feel the need to exercise a lot more. I have stubborn belly fat that just won't go away, I am 130 pounds and am 5'5 :(
my friend told me today that basically if you have belly fat, its 100% your own fault and exercise can't get rid of it. I already restrict what I eat and now feel like I need to restrict even more. My legs are all muscular, and I don't want to lose that though, I like how I can see my muscles flex when I lunge/walk, and I have been complimented on how toned my legs are.
I feel at a loss because soon it will be too cold to bike everywhere, and gym memberships here cost 46+ a month, at the cheapest. I make 300-400 a month at my job. I hate how memberships cost so much. I might just save up and buy a used elliptical or something
excercise is the only thing that makes me feel okay about eating anything

I tried to recover healthily. I was able to quit purging for good but binged for about a month, going from 88lbs to 120lbs. IN ONE MONTH and a week. If I start restricting heavily will bulimia return? I felt disgusting during the whole month and still feel disgustingly fat and can't stand myself. I'm having mild manic episodes everyday due to the weight gain. If I go back to school at more than 100lbs, I won't be able to focus on studying for uni but I'm scared I'll relapse to full blow bulimia. I have a month to lose the binge weight and already planned on almost fasting. Will I be ok or get binge urges again? Anyone with similar experience?

Okay so about 2 weeks ago my mom took me to the doctors because she thought I had anemia. While we where there, the doctor said that I wouldnt have any problems at this weight and she also said I had to eat more protein since my muscles are wasting.
I ended up NOT having anemia and my cholesterol and blood pressure were normal. But since I was anxious during the visit and since I was apparently very stressed, she said that if I lose any more weight she will recommend me to a phsychiatrist or therapist or what ever it is. I actually dont care if I get sent to one, but its my mom who really thinks I should see one.
Im pretty shocked but if losing weighr means "getting help" then I want to maintain for these two weeks. Problem is whenever I maintain I feel SO SO SO fat and nasty that I feel shitty until I get back on track. I just dont know ugh

I had a bartending interview today and I'm sure I didn't get the job because I'm too fat. I've worked the bar for a few years now, so I know it's not that :( Everyone working was so thin in skin tight clothes and then there was me :(. I almost walked out then but I'm stubborn and I need a job :(
The owner talked to me for less then 10 minutes and showed me the uniform. The shirt was so low cut my boobs would spill out and the skirt was so short and thin all you'd see were my fat thighs and hips.
I went home and binged on pasta. Then I looked at the calories and almost cried. I feel so ashamed and disgusted with myself.. I did weights tonight, paced my house but uugghh.

I've been doing really well sticking to under 500 calories a day, with most days being under 300. Today me and my boyfriend both had days off so we decided to celebrate with edibles. I haven't had sweets in like two weeks so I was pretty excited (chocolate chip cookies!) I figured I would just not eat that much the rest of the day.
So I fucked up. I wound up eating **two** cookies along with my regular amount of food for the day (which is all healthy; carrots and hummus + raw natural oatmeal)
I wouldn't be this mad if I had actually gotten high, I'm not sure what's worse....the fact that my tolerance is too high and I have to take a break from weed, or the fact that I'm at 1200 calories for today and it's only 5pm.
TL;DR: ate weed cookies for nothing, hate myself and my body
thanks for giving me a space to vent guys, I really appreciate this subreddit.

TL;DR My control slips when free food is available such as hors d'oeuvres / potlucks / picnics / etc
There is a company-wide picnic tomorrow where I work. I went last year and it's crazy how much stuff they provide. Soda, lemonade, cookies, bag of chips, hot dogs and hamburgers (regular and veg versions) and sides like fruit salad, potato salad, etc. All of it is free and all of it is all-you-can-eat.
I've been successfully restricting to a maximum of 620 calories a day (310 in the AM and 310 in the PM; sometimes I'll skip one or the other) and thinking about the picnic tomorrow is making me nervous. I don't have a problem avoiding food at restaurants and grocery stores because I'd rather save my money (or spend it on clothes, weed or diet soda tbh). But there's something about free food that always makes it hard for me to remain in control. *Especially* when it's BBQ because I fucking love BBQ.
I know I should avoid the picnic altogether. I know that most people could just plate up with small serving of fruit salad and call it good. I'm just concerned that I won't be able to stay focused if I go to the picnic at all.
I'm considering not going to work tomorrow, but I'd really like to get better at maintaining control when confronted with desirable free food.

I have a few overweight friends, the kind who always talk about wanting to lose weight, but never put down the fork. Lately a bunch of them have started a fitness kick and post daily updates with selfies, but not a single one is counting calories or cutting back on drinks.
I always have to do more than them and I never post about it. I want to seem effortlessly thin in contrast to their slow struggle against a bad diet.
Anyone else do this?

I feel full and gross. Unclean. I just had 2 days off. See, when I'm at work, I don't feel the need to eat because it's such a fast paced environment and I don't have time to think about food. On my days off, though, my hubs is there with me and I eat when he eats... It's hard to just not eat because he knows me and will make me have something or else he won't eat and then there's my sense of guilt so...

Ever since leaving rehab for drugs, I've been binging a lot then purging. I've done this 4 times today over three hours. I feel terrible. I just binged again now, and I'm probably going to purge making this 5 times in one day.
Advice to people who don't purge: don't start! Don't exercise purge, don't vomit purge, and don't laxative purge. Only restrict. Always only restrict. Because after all this purging, I've probably still retained a good 2000 calories.

For more than two weeks ive been eating better and the only beverage I've ever eaten was water. I made sure to get less than 500 calls and when I broke my diet plan I purged. That simple.
Today I ate gummy worms, taki's and a can of cream soda (With like 5 glasses of water for when I felt hungry later in the day, I was not going to eat anything else)
But tomorrow is my friends birthday and she wants to go to the movies (WHERE THERE WIL BE POPCORN) Wendy's and then swimming ands then bowling. I only plan eating as many cals as I can burn swimming but its going to be hard and im going to purge and someone might here me and if I cant purge im not wearing that bikini top (I usually pair it with top)
and this feeling of full is soo gross and ew

I see a lot of sexy or understated sexy thinspo (I don't use thinspo tbh, and maybe this would explain why). I'm a queer woman. I don't care about being feminine. I'm a 32DD and I hate my chest. Even though I'm cis, my breasts have been the source of a lot of some emotional anxiety. I go through periods where I wish it was gone, and from time to time I have very deep fantasies about getting a breast reduction, and I research the crap out of it, even though it is such a drastic change that I could not possibly commit time or money to. I like to feel sexy for myself or a partner but in insofar as everyday life goes, I wish I was completely desxualized. I don't know if this is a common thing. Even at my low weight, my weight left my chest last. I wish I could just give it to someone who wanted it.

I recently had stitches up my right arm (I'm right handed) and I don't really want to purge the "traditional" way because I don't want anything to get infected (and I don't want to run the risk of the nurse finding vomit under my bandages, or something equally horrifying). I've tried using my left hand, but it's completely useless and I made two of my fingers bleed because they decided to slam themselves against my teeth.
So... does anyone have any ideas for a temporary alternative? The only thing I've tried is using a toothbrush but it didn't really work... it just felt like I was bruising my throat tbh, and unfortunately that's the only real alternative I've seen recommended before.
(..and if this sort of post isn't allowed, I'm really sorry, please delete it)

I can't talk to anyone else about this so I'm posting it here. I was forced into recovery about 6 months ago and I've put on a hefty 30lbs. Yeah. **30lbs**. I have never felt so disgusted with myself, with my body, with my life.
The worst part though? I can't get control back. Whenever I start to restrict I end up caving in. I'm weak. I'm so much weaker now. I remember this time last year I was restricting to 200 calorie days. Know how many calories I consumed yesterday? 1650. I honestly just break down and cry all the time over this. I'm just a disgusting pig now.
I want to be my old self again. Please help---be as mean as you like I just need... a kick in the ass because I can't live like this anymore.

Hi! I just REALLY need to vent...
I just feel like i need to get this off my chest. I've been visiting my parents for the holidays (together with my bf and siblings) and that just basically means food all day, everyday. On top of that, I also had to go to a edmfestival with my siblings (which was fun, really) but that means drinking till you drop.
After the festival (German festival aka BEER) I went back again and despite all the 'oh you are so skinny you should eat better'-crap they've been shoving in my face ALL FUCKING WEEKEND I still managed to shove lots of fat food in my face and drop suspicion a bit.
Anyway, back at my parents I ate lots and lots of food just to prove them all wrong, especially my mom. It was horrible, but also a little nice because for once the focus was on other things than my weight. Which is unusual, since I'm kinda the only one there that isn't overweight (except the boys, they skinny af).
BUT at the end of the week, when I'm in the kitchen eating f-ing pieces of liquorice, my mum suddenly walks up to me, saying that I am way too skinny and I should definitely gain weight. That obviously felt like a major stab in the back after trying so hard all week, and feeling so disgusted afterwards (I don't even dare to stand on the scale or eat even a tiny amount of food, which is good lol).
I'm just glad to be back home and restricting again. Still trying to find some courage to pull the scale back out, because now I feel like a friggin' whale.
Thank you all for reading. I just needed to vent because I'm kinda upset and like you all know, it is hard to find someone to talk to (especially since I'm not in therapy anymore).

Lately when I've been high I've been thinking too much and just trying to figure out why my brain works this way.. I guess I just need to know if anyone else thinks these things or sees themselves this way? I've never really heard anyone describe how I'm feeling.. But I feel like I'm going nuts sometimes.

I'm pretty good at fake eating a "full meal". Picking at my plate, moving shit around, etc. etc. I'm pretttty sure no one knows about my ED (best kept secret), so no one focuses on me during group settings. But while I sit here and pick at my plate, I'm disgusted by everyone around me. All I can hear is disgusting, sloppy, wet, aggressive, gluttonous chewing. Every other sound is drowned out. I can barely even keep up with conversations or hear anyone's words. When I look up from my plate, all I can see is their eyes. The excitement over the food and their frantic search for what is next to eat is written all over their faces. It makes my skin crawl, it grosses me out. I love these people, but when we all sit down and eat together, it's like I see them through the lenses of ED and I'm annoyed and can't stop thinking "ugh, gluttonous pigs". I wonder if they are actually being sloppy, manic and, over-excited about food or if this is simply my warped interpretation of it because of my own personal food standards.

I started a new desk job last week and decided to skip breakfast (except for one cup of coffee) and lunch since I'd be mostly sedentary all day. I drank water throughout the day and actually felt fine even when I got home at 8pm.
I've been doing this for a few days now and it's really helped with restricting and not succumbing to any binges. On the flip side, when I do eat breakfast, I'm usually starving by noon.

At like 8 o clock I ate a cup of smart pasta and some chicken with tomatoes and bell peppers. I didn't purge because The pasta alone had 9 grams of fibre and the daily value iron was 20%. It was so hard not to purge because I need it to lose weight. I drank a lot of water since then and right now im full and I hate it. it makes my belly feel so big and ugly.

It's very obvious to people with EDs who is legitimate and who isn't, and this has nothing to do with how much you weigh.
If this is you, the mods aren't going to ban you, and users are still forbidden to engage in weight discrimination or to call other users out for not having an ED. In general, we will still be supportive and nice to you.
However, know that this isn't the subreddit for you. There are many other subreddits such as /r/loseit and /r/xxfitness that will welcome you and provide you with motivation and tips.
Let me be clear. **This post isn't an accusation nor is it an invitation to start calling users out on not having an ED.**
If you think a user doesn't have an ED and is posting trivially, you are free to downvote and ignore them as you see fit. If others agree, their threads and comments will sink and will not be acknowledged. **However, note that all forms of abuse and *vocal* weight discrimination will still result in a ban.**
This is simply a message to nonED users that they are not welcomed here, and for the most part, we know who they are and will most likely react accordingly.
**EDIT:** I and the other mods are not going to go around banning people who we don't think have EDs, nor are we going to tell you whether you have an ED or not. In general, if you're using this sub because you want to "lose weight fast", then this isn't the sub for you.

Today I ended up at my grandfather's house and offered dinner. I didn't want to go, but it was a family event I didn't know was happening. There is nothing I hate more then being forced to eat food someone else prepared. I hate that I don't get to choose what it is or how it's prepared. I hate how someone just plopped a GIANT sausage onto my plate (a foot long, I swear) when I wouldn't even have eaten half. I hate how everyone comments on how little you eat. I hate how I feel pressured into eating food I can't stomach. I hate how there was no low calorie options and I hate how awkward it is to just not eat something huge while everyone else devours it.
The rest of the meal consisted of bread, butter and a greek pasta salad with Italian dressing, thankfully, instead of mayo and pie. If any of you have read my past comments you'll know I have major issues with eating meat, I have the same issue with mayo and any food from a can or jar.
TL;DR: For the first time in a month I had to eat carbs that wasn't oatmeal or fruit, and out of obligation I ate a few bites of meat and have been freaking out since. Ugh.

my family has suspected me for a while now and whenever we all go out to eat they try to make me order something full of calories and get really mad when i get a salad, or say im not hungry.
so THIS time i ordered escargot, which I never had but i was sure it was disgusting. Sure enough, shocked and disgusted faces all around the table, along with a slight encouragement for being "daring". And so, once the dish arrived, all i had to do was choke my way through part of a snail, go spit up in the restroom, and say i had lost my appetite and ta-da! no one said a word about it, aside from that escargot really does look awful and i was brave for trying it.
TLDR: if you cant get away with ordering healthy, try ordering crazy so they wont blame you for not eating it

I started out great. My morning cup of coffee with zero cal sweetener and a spoonful of vanilla vegan protein powder. Lots of water. Then I went to the doctor's to get my leg checked because I hurt myself jogging Monday, two weeks after spraining my ankle doing step up aerobics. I am not a coordinated person.
Then I had to get my blood drawn for my psychiatrist while I was there. When I finally got home nearly 3.5 hours of be8ng at the doctor's, I was stressed, aching, and still had to go to the store for me mum. I got chips and salsa and ate some of that, then made a burrito and a quesadilla. With lots of cheese and a can of regular mtn dew. Holy smoking tortoise, I felt so full and uncomfortable but I didn't purge because I had just taken my meds before my binge.
I just need validation that one binge isn't going to wreck me and that I'm not a terrible person.
PS, let me know if I ever use the wrong flair. I'm on mobile and I'm easily confused.

See, I love milk chocolate and last year when I did it, I couldn't help myself but nibble and nibble and nibble on it all day, adding up to way too many calories. But this year, I will test my willpower and have absolutely no chocolate at all. Wish me luck!

This community has grown from what I remembered. There seems to be a ton of different people. But anyway, if you remembered me, I posted [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/proED/comments/3abhwx/might_not_be_around_for_a_while/) because I heard my mom was making me go to rehab for drugs, but I'm back from that now and somewhat drug free.

I'm seriously worried and am wondering if this is normal (or at least not dangerous). I'm close to going to the doctor, and really don't want to, but want to ask around here and see if this is more common than I think. Thanks in advance!

So, I've been going through cycles of anorexia and bulimia for 5 years now, and have recently been stuck on the bulimia part for longer than usual. Before when I would vomit I'd be very systematic with how I cleaned up and always rinse my mouth with some baking soda in water to neutralize the acidity, and wait 10 minutes or so before brushing my teeth so that I didn't take away any of the tooth enamel. That was when I'd binge once every two weeks or something whilst essentially starving myself, and wouldn't vomit more than once that binge day.
Now I've been purging everyday for the past 3 months, regardless of what or how much I eat. The most I've vomited in one day is 7 times (this is including purges in which I'd drink a bunch of water after the initial throwing up to make sure that everything is out of my stomach)
I've never had any issues with my teeth before accept for one or two fillings as a kid; in fact I always get compliments on how white and healthy they look, but now I'm afraid they're starting to get duller and become more sensitive from the constant exposure to bile. I don't even have the energy to rinse my mouth or brush my teeth some nights after purging.
I recently went to the dentist and they didn't notice any problems accept for a dark spot on one of my upper molars that they're going to keep a watch on. I was terrified that after vomiting so much and forgetting to brush that I'd have a whole cluster of cavities, so clearly I'm relieved.
But if I keep this up, when will things start to really get bad for my oral health? How bad can it get?

I just found this sub yesterday and you guys are so supportive I had to say hi. I struggled with BED in my early 20s but stayed recovered for a while. Last year I lost 20lbs by fasting but 3 months in, I lost all control and binges took over to the point where I was eating two dinners in a row. It's so shameful and I hate myself for gaining the weight back. I'm on day 2 of fasting though I ate about 20 almonds and will probably have some chicken broth when I get home tonight.
How do you stop yourself from bingeing back all your hard-earned work?

Hey, I'm Natalie. I've not been diagnosed with an eating disorder, nor will I pretend that I know what having one is like. For about a year I've been losing weight in a healthy way, eating around 1200 to 1500 calories a day and going on long runs because I enjoy the activity and it chills me out.
For the last week or so I've been gradually eating far less than I used to, maybe around 400-500 cals average, which started as an anxiety coping thing, but has grown to the point that if I eat more than that, it gives me severe anxiety itself. It bums me out, because my runs are suffering. I used to run like 5 miles a day and now 2-3 is hard. But I can't bring myself to eat more, because I feel like a huge failure when I do. I guess what worries me is I have a history of mental illness (diagnosed with major depression, PTSD and some personality disorder when I was 15) and all of it has been in remission for a few years now, I hope it's not coming back as something else.
I'm hoping I can manage to break out of this habit before it becomes a huge issue, but if I don't, I like groups like this, where there's no judgement. You guys all seem so kind, and I might just hang around here for a while.
If anyone has any advice/experience on exercising (especially running) while eating low calorie, let me know, I will be so grateful :)

What is your ideal waist size, and what waist size should I restrict down to? I'm at 28 inches right now but I really want to do the thing where you get a ribbon in the waist size you want and tie it on your wrist to remind you. I've been bingeing a lot recently and I need new, constant motivation.
I'm thinking around 20 inches? Is that low enough? I want an almost unachievable goal - something that I won't reach until I am somewhere in the low 100's so it will keep motivating me until the very end.

I used to weigh around 235 6ft but now at 195ish and dropping (Male), I started to lose weight around 2 months ago and have become obsessed and it is on my mind 24/7, I still have slight 'man boobs' which is not a good look.
All of a sudden I have started to crave dairy like there is no tomorrow, I walked into the supermarket yesterday and must have looked at the half price cookie dough ice cream 6 times. Chocolate I have more self control, there is some in the kitchen now but i have not touched it.
Another one is strawberry Yop drinkingyogurt, it tastes so good but at like 350 cals it seems like wasted cala to me, I have not binged on any yet and try to aim for 1000 cals but sooner or later I will prob binge a whole pint of cookie dough.

I have BED and while I haven't technically gained much weight from the binges, my body fat has definitely shot up. I'm trying to get leaner now, which is hard as it is, and I've moved back to live with my parents.
Everyone's noticed my eating habits and I'm now the "health freak". I just heard my mom talking about it to her friend, saying oh my daughter's watching her weight, always eating salads never eating rice etc etc. When she saw my lunch today (salad with grilled calamari) she said something like, whoa you're really dedicated to eating skinny huh.
Maybe it's just me, but I fucking hate it. I hate being that healthy girl. Fuck this. I used to have Cheetos and a cheeseburger for lunch and I was skinnier then. I feel like I've destroyed my reputation as a naturally skinny girl and it fucking sucks. I hate it. I hate it so so much.

One of my friends told me "you're under 5'4", you'll never be all legs like a model". This just fuels the fire. It's all about ratio, right? Even if you can't work in that career it doesn't mean you can't have that waist to height ratio.
Anyone also angry that tattoos, piercings etc are more accepted as body modification than hardcore dieting? People can suspend themselves from hooks... and its considered ok... no dis to tattoo aficionados. But god forbid a woman under 5'4" and over age 30 loses weight to a level under 100 lbs and they're not "naturally thin".
Those of us whose high school weights were heavy are done a disservice by the whole fit-back-into-the-prom dress debacle. Two of me could fit in my prom dress. Terra incognita. And terror of gaining the weight back.

I apologize if someone has already written a thread about this, but lately I have been having the craziest dreams that involve binging. Almost every night, it feels like. Eating everything, but usually chocolates and bread. It freaks me out because I'm so out of control in my dream, and I keep thinking, "Omg, I'm eating so much. Why am I eating so much?!" And, in my dream, I can't stop myself. Then, when I finally wake up, I have a mild panic attack because I can't remember if it was a dream, or if it happened the day before.
Does this happen to anyone else?

I am in so much conflict and I just want to get it all out...
People left and right will tell me I'm attractive and shouldn't lose weight and when they do it all feels fine, it feels as though I shouldn't put myself through so much hunger and craving and counting calories since I'm good looking to them. A few compliments here and there and I'm binging.
But then I come home and see your flairs like I'm a solider seeing the badges of superiors. I see the thinspo, I see what's attractive in *my* eyes, not theirs. And I regret every single calorie past 600/800.
How can I do this? How can I turn my back on the freedom and carelessness of knowing people like the way I look, like me if I eat how much I want to?

Sup ladies (and men, if there are any fellas here). Been lurking for a while now, thought I'd make a post. (Disclaimer, I'm a male without an eating disorder (is that even allowed here?))
A bit confused on a couple things, hoping somebody can clear it up.
Some of you claim to have eating disorders, but seem to eat extremely well/healthily. Aren't the two mutually exclusive?
Also, has anyone considered supplements as an alternative to eating? Since I know you guys aren't really about that life, and it seems like it would help with your weight loss goals while not *totally* destroying your bodies.
I have a couple of friends with eating disorders, but I figure it's not something they're particularly thrilled to talk about so I've never brought it up.
Thanks

Hey so I know it's a lame excuse, but I'm a very jittery, nervous person so I overthink everything, and I haven't been exercising these past few days because I'm not feeling too well and I'm scared of passing out of vomiting on the treadmill.
So, does anyone know some good stuff I can do in my room without making a bunch of noise to burn calories?

Binged about 10 minutes ago but I take a long time to eat. How long after does purging not do anything? Mostly I've heard 15 minutes but when I was in the psychiatric hospital if you had anorexia you weren't allowed to use the bathroom 2 hours after you ate. Or you had to bring a nurse with you.

A royal fuck up really. Pregnant (15 weeks) with a BMI of 17.5. Terrified of the weight gain. Been eating 1500-1700 calories a day which feels like too much. Today I really screwed up. 2250 calories. I am doing 2 hrs of cardio to compensate. I hate myself and think I needed the food at the same time. I don't want to gain fat..just enough weight for the baby. This sucks.

Hello :) I have been around the subreddit for a while but haven't posted yet. I love how positive everyone is here and I wanted to offer up one of my specialties: workouts for those who think working out can get boring pretty quickly.
Background: I am a long distance runner. Started freshman year of high school and continued through 5 years of college. Then I took a year off because my brain was so burned out on hours and hours of repetitive training. Now here I am, and I have a hard time motivating myself for an hour+ of standard cardio. So I make up workouts that satisfy my ADD!
Here's my latest:
* 20 minutes walking (20MW) - 3mph at incline
* - 20 squats
* 5MW
* - 1m front & 1m back plank
* 5MW
* - 20 donkey kicks & 20 fire hydrants
* 5MW
* - 45s side planks
* 5MW
* - 20 donkey whips & 20 all-4s straight leg raises
* 5MW
* - 25 bicycle crunches
* 5MW
* - 15 bicep curls/15 tricep extensions
* 5MW
* - 20 lunges
* 5MW
* - 25 in/out/ups abs
* 5MW
* - 20 side lying leg lifts & 20 Supermans
* 5MW
* - 20 sit ups
* 5MW
* - 15 DB bench/15 DB row
* 5MW
* - 20 bent leg side leg raises & 20 lying adductor raises
* 5MW
* - 25 Russian twists
* 5MW
* - 20 calf raises
* 5MW
* - 10 pushups
* 5MW
* - 20 single leg toe touches
* 20MW
This takes about 2h 25m as written and at my weight burns around 1150 calories. Obviously it can be modified in any way, but I just thought I would share! If you want to know what an exercise is let me know and I will try to find a link to a video/information :)

I know I just posted saying hi and all but I am starting to worry about the number on the scale not going down. I've done my measurements and I'm losing inches but that darn scale hasn't budged in a week. Is it going to suddenly drop or am I doing something wrong?
My normal day consists of coffee with sweet n low and a spoonful of allergen free protein powder with a calorie total of 27 calories according to mfp.
Lunch is often the same with a salad of spinach and fat free Italian dressing for 68 cals.
Dinner varies but always under 300 cals.
If I end up binging I'm still under 1000 calories a day. I plug everything into my fitness pal.
I try to do a 2 mile jog being careful with my messed up ankle.
Is my scale lying to me or do I need to do something different?

Lately I've been feeling so swollen in my abdominal area and I can't eat anything without feeling sick and I know it's due to me not going to the bathroom. I try and try and nothing improves it.
So I'm thinking people keep talking about teas that make you go to the bathroom but all I find on google are those scam sites promoting their own tea or just some random mom blog.
Does any one know a really good tea out there that works?
Also I don't want to be stuck to the toilet for hours, just something that will make me go every day.

I'm starting to see this girl from tinder who is the almost the opposite of my type; I like tall, skinny, pale, long dark haired lipstick lesbians and she's a 5'2, larger, pale, long dark haired butch girl that wears guys clothes.
She's larger because she was a weight lifter and she does every sport under the sun. Her sisters are all skinny and one of them is a competitive bodybuilder and has like 5% fat in the picture I saw of her. Anyway, I would hate to look like her but I still find her attractive though. She's the only person with a BMI >25 that I've found attractive.

Hi, I found this sub and thought to myself, wow, a place I can relate to people! My issue (with myself) is that I weigh 231 lbs. I've struggled with bulimia and anorexia since I was a kid. I gained weight after being in and out of psych wards for years and being in recovery. However, now I'm just like, screw it, I'm an adult.
I'm 24, 65.5 inches, and female. I've relapsed into bulimia this past year and the last few months I've been restricting as well. I just wanted to say I want to join this sub because I don't want to be judged. I'm not here to do a diet. This is something I've been doing for years and I don't want people telling me I need to work on recovery or stuff like that.
I guess I'm looking more for a safe place to explain my ED habits without being told I'm being toxic or something. Is this okay for me to join your community?

I work for a privately owned company, and my CEO is having everyone over to his mansion for a pool party on the first day. The company has a drinking/partying culture.
1. What to say if someone comments on me being skinny? What if they comment on my eating habits? I don't usually have this problem as I live on my own. Also I will probably get in the pool. There is one coworker who I'm not very fond of. She is a little bigger, but probably not overweight. I'm afraid she will say something and I will feel embarrassed. I'm not terribly skinny, but I feel like she will have a mindset of "some meat on your bones is healthier".
2. Less of a concern, but any tips for avoiding junk and/or calories? There will be a lot of alcohol. I'm usually pretty good about restricting, but any useful tips are greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance! You guys are the best!

Hi everyone, I recently found this subreddit and can't stop reading.
A little background on me:
Many years ago, when I was about 7 years old, I desperately wanted to be skinny. It helped that I didn't have a big appetite. In fact, I really disliked eating, so much that it would take me 2-3 hours to finish a meal. I was tiny and stayed at 60 pounds until 8th grade. I remember how good it felt to be so small, but it didn't make me any more confident.
In health class, we learned about eating disorders, and there was one documentary that really stuck with me, about a girl with anorexia who ended up wasting away, wanting so badly to recover, but died. That day at lunch, I decided to finish everything on my tray for once. It was really difficult, but my fear of dying overrode my fear of being fat.
From that point on, I started eating a lot more. Especially carbs. I doubled my weight within 2 years. I grew about a foot, which was nice, but sometimes I look back and wonder what things would be like if I hadn't taken that video seriously.
I started watching what I ate, exercising a few times a week, doing all the things that google said to do for weight loss. Sure I'd lose 5-10 pounds running 3 miles every day over a summer, but I'd gain it back during the school year.
I'm always hesitant to restrict heavily because I am in college, and I am premed (oh the irony. can't even take care of my own weight, how can I help others...) so I do eat to keep my energy up, and sometimes out of stress.
But this semester should be a little easier for me, so I'm hoping to workout more and eat less! I'm sure a lot of you are in similar situations dealing with school pressures. Do you have any tips on how to manage ... everything?
Another thing I'm worried about is alcohol. I do want to go out, but I don't want to consume a whole day's worth of calories in one night.
Anyway I think this place is really inspiring and I'll keep coming back to stay motivated and focused >:D

I didn't see it listed with the other helpful subreddits, but I definitely find it helpful! They call out people out for their unhealthy habits and excuses as to why they can't lose weight. [Here's](http://np.reddit.com/r/fatlogic/comments/2owqlz/meta_why_there_are_so_many_fatties_on_rfatlogic/) one of their meta posts that lists the dozens of excuses people give as to why they'll never lose weight or be thin.
Sometimes when I'm on the verge of a binge, and I'm telling myself it's just one time, it won't matter in the long run, you restricted so you deserve this, etc. etc., I'll browse there, and it helps me recognize my own fatlogic and keep me on the right track. Some of the people they post about are like reverse thinspo as well. It reaffirms that I am NOT that kind of person anymore, and I never want to be that way again. There are things that contribute to weight gain, yes, but I can combat those things and achieve my goal weight. The only things stopping me are myself and my excuses.
From the post: "The overall narrative here is clear. You control your bodyweight with calories, and controlling your bodyweight has great rewards."
Edit: Not sure if this even needs to be said, but much of the content there is satire, and they do not condone unhealthy methods of weight loss. So take from it what you will :)

I'm technically in recovery, technically meant to be having like 2500 a day right now, all that, and usually if I'm happy and my family is around and supporting me then I'm fine. But the instant I feel any kind of negative emotion, I start to restrict heavily again.
For example, just now, my mother said I couldn't go to the third Krav Maga class of the evening (which is after an hour and a half break in which we all usually chum around and eat our dinner), so on my way home I threw out my whole dinner and I've decided that no food will enter my mouth unless I'm forced. I know that logically this is just fucking up my recovery, but not eating has become my coping mechanism for any kind of negative emotion.
What the fuck should I do? Can someone try to convince me to wise up and eat something? Or should I just restrict more?
I'm so torn between the two and angry with myself, which will just lead to more wanting to restrict...
I don't know what the fuck this was, I'm not 100% here and I needed to get some stuff out. You guys are the only people I can talk frankly to; my Krav Maga friends know that I don't usually eat more than 1000 calories and have a rough idea of a possibility of an eating disorder, but they always just ask me about what I've eaten and my calories and if I'm going to have more and they don't really ask how I feel about what I'm doing to myself. So.
Yeah.

Hey everybody, new here, just wanted to pop in from the computer so that I can say a proper hello. Most of my activity will be from mobile, and this is my first post, so please excuse any formatting errors and be gentle.
Little background on me, I've been dealing with my weight all my life. I remember being aware that I was heavy in kindergarten, and that awareness has never left me.
In sophomore year of high school I ate my lunch in the bathroom. Being on government assistance, I received a free meal. I would eat my solids, chug my entire drink (usually one of those twisted juice things, a good sized bottle) in one go, turn around and purge it. Jr and Sr years I spent far less time in the building, having less classes Jr year and a school to work program Sr year, I moved from purging to restricting.
After graduation I got a job and settled into the groove of life, living with my fiance, and my mother lived with us. Working long 12 hour days I was exhausted on my days off, would do nothing but eat and sleep. But I was in love, and my awareness of my weight fell to the back burner; my fiance loved me no matter what, and I knew that without a doubt.
Years passed, and with it, weight came on. One day I realized out of two drawers full of pants, and an entire closet full of cute, stylish fashion tops, I had one pair of jeans that fit me, and a small handful of plain t-shirts. It had been ages since I stepped on the scale. I stepped on; it read 229. I cried. And I ate. Mid-binge, I realized what I was doing, and that it would not help matters any. I got online. I researched. I have tentatively self diagnosed with BED, as well as general Compulsive eating.
Once I start shoveling it in, I can't stop. I know I should, my brain and stomach scream for me to stop, I wasn't hungry to begin with, and I'm so full I hurt, and I keep going, knowing how much time I have to continue eating until someone comes home or wakes up, counting down, throat constricting in near panic that my food time is almost over, what can I eat that I don't have to prepare, what can I inhale that won't be missed, can I bury evidence in the kitchen garbage or do I have to plan in a trip to the garbage can outside?
It's certainly not an issue of not being able to eat around my (now) husband or my mother; my husband loves to eat, and my mother has always been a person who loves to cook for others while on a constant "diet". It is the compulsiveness; it is the never ending, never satisfied void that that I feel I have to hide. The emptiness that settles inside me and strangles my throat, while the voice in my head tells me I'm worthless, I can't do anything right, I've fucked up again, I'm just going to get fatter.
Since once I start eating, I just want to keep going, I've decided to go with restricting, followed by fasting, following my working schedule. I'll restrict these next two days, the following two I'll fast with water, coffee, and zero calorie energy drinks (unless someone thinks the energy drinks are still bad for a fast?) I'll then be off for a few days, but I'm not too worried, I have a freezer full of vegetables, and all sorts of low calorie things so I can be "constantly" snacking, and still stay in the 800 cal range. I'll be throwing in cardio and 2 days of weight training as well.
And when I don't want to work out, or want to eat crap, I'll remind myself of how, two weeks ago, my best friend of 15 years made the snarky comment about how I can't fit into her pants, and went on for several minutes about how she couldn't help me with the fact that my pants were falling off because I'd lost 30lbs already because "my pants would never fit you". Never is gonna get here a helluva lot sooner than she thinks.
Ending here, cause this feels really long, so hi everyone, whatever you're striving for stay strong!

I know that it's impossible to build muscle without a surplus, but all over the weight loss obsessed part of the internet is information on how beneficial it is. So how is it that despite the fact that you'll LOSE muscle while restricting, everyone is going on about how it boosts your metabolism? And then there are the bicep-flexing "after" pictures, so unless they lost the weight before gaining muscle, that just doesn't make sense. This post probably makes no sense either, but I would be so grateful if someone explained it to me!

SO, as an introduction, I used to struggle with an ED a few years back. I successfully trained myself to not think about it and was genuinely happy for awhile, but then I got into a relationship with someone who was emotionally abusive, though it took awhile for me to realize and admit it to myself. After 2 years, I finally couldn't take up with it and broke up with him in the beginning of June, so this summer has been awful and sort of led me to getting back into an ED.
When I was with him I started smoking a lot of weed to numb everything and I'm still thin but I've gained quite a bit of weight in my stomach, hips and thighs. I want it all to go away so I can feel beautiful, but I'm not motivated enough to work out because I'm so depressed. Is there any foods I could avoid or tips to getting rid of stubborn weight like thighs? Any advice is appreciated
Sorry for the length of this post, I just needed to get it all out. thanks everyone <3

I'm posting this after many weeks of frequent restricting, with (often) the sole purpose of filling my daily max caloric intake with alcohol. I've done this, maybe, every three days or so. I used to just smoke pot, but I quit because I'm joining the military in September. I honestly miss pot. It's total bullshit that it isn't legal. It is incomprehensible to the hell I'm in. Marijuana singlehandedly brought me out of more depressive relapses than I can count... (this is a tangent. I apologize. I am drunk obv)
ED + alcoholism is a bad mix and I'm really suffering (when I'm sober). Is this common? Have any of you been through this?

Most doctors will not prescribe it to you if you are currently or have a history of throwing up. Apparently it makes you more susceptible to seizures which can be triggered by vomiting.
Don't talk about having a less-than-perfect opinion about your weight. Do not tell your psychiatrist about occasionally bingeing and purging during middle school (when you're in college), or about drinking once or twice a month in small amounts, even if you haven't thrown up in years. That makes you "at risk" for seizures and you will not be prescribed the medicine you want.
Obviously don't lie, because that rule is there for safety, but it will not help you seem "more depressed" if you talk about these things, it will only hurt your cause.

**[TW] Talking about unhealthy foods below.**
Two months ago, I started restricting. I lost pounds easily. I lost four pounds in a week and a half.
Then work started.
They provide lunch at work. Pasta, cookies, ice cream, lunch of the day (usually pizza, or some sort of fried chicken or hamburgers). They have a salad bar. I have been good in avoiding the main lunch item of the day. But I have been eating pasta, and a cookie and an ice cream at the end of the day.
I can't weigh what I eat. Delicious food is dangled in front of my face. I have lost some control over my body. I gained 4 pounds back. I fluctuate a pound here and there, but I could've been at goal weight by now (110 lbs) if I hadn't got this stupid fucking job.
I think I am going to bring a Cookie Dough Quest Bar (those are literally heaven) and skip going to the lunch tent and eat my Quest Bar somewhere else.
So, here's the discussion part. What is keeping you from your goal weight?

It's Sunday night where I am. Today I went out and stuffed my face with sushi, went home only to eat two bowls of cereal, a couple dozen or so spring rolls, a lot of cookies, and quite a bit of candy. I feel absolutely disgusting right now. I don't feel like myself. I purged but I don't think I got all of it out. These past two weeks I have been binging from morning to night. I'm so fed up with how I feel after I binge. I miss the hungry feeling. I miss seeing the number on the scale go down. I won't let myself balloon back up to my highest weight. Tomorrow is a new day, and I'm going to eat less than 500 calories and no more. I'm going to maintain it and show everyone who says "it's not sustainable" that they're wrong.
Wish me luck, ladies and gents.

i actually want to be muscular.
i want to have no body fat, masculine body fat really.. under 18% under 15% tbh.
i want to be flexible
i want to be thin (duh).
i want the definition. the strength, functional strength unexpected if you saw me in long sleeves.
i want nothing to ever jiggle again...
i shouldn't be drinking, lol. i had 'one' but i rarely drink and am kinda a lightweight even with today havin gone out and eaten a bit.. i eat high fat low carb but apparently my alcohol tolernace is still shitty and i'm still too far to drive .. but its 2am so who cares i aint' driving.
sober edit: my goals ***currently*** are cut down to 100-110 and go up to 120 in muscle. body recomping is a lie (gain and lose simultaneously? not actually possible and I'm.really bad with dealing with weight fluctuations), maintaining at ~165 is gross and gaining muscle will just put me overweight again rn.

I was wondering what you guys consider to be too thin, or if you even think there is such a thing as too thin. This also brings me to another question: if you do have a point where anything after that is "too thin"; are you willing or wanting to go past that point yourself, even if you don't consider it attractive?

Losertown.org has a calculator that projects your weight loss if you eat X amount of calories a day.
But it is possible that the calculator does not recalculate at each weight. They use the same calorie intake calculated for your present weight. For example, using my stats, and eating 1300 a day. At some point I will be in the 70s. It simply does not seem possible for me to weigh 70 lbs while eating 1300 calories.
So what this means is that if you're projected to weigh 112 next week, and 110 the week after. You might not be 110 because the calculator used the metabolic assumptions of a 116 lb person.

And I've accepted that I'll never be "normal" again.
First time poster, really long wall of text ahead. Obviously ED talk, behaviors, numbers, etc.
I've gone through a few months here and there not purging or super restricting in the nearly 10 years since I got out of treatment for anorexia, but it's never not on my mind or expressing in some way.
This year especially I've been in a rather vicious relapse of restricting and (non-forced) "purging" almost every single day, usually more than once, but without full on "binging" (no unhealthy or processed foods, no stomach rupturing stuffing).
I eat an obsessively strict healthy diet, but my mind gets torn between wanting to eat something for its fabulous nutrition, then feeling horridly guilty for the calories because I had what I consider too much (even super "safe" foods I don't really mentally feel guilty for eating calorie-wise make me feel physically sick, mainly if I feel "full", and I feel better if I just let my body regurgitate.)
I haven't forced myself to purge (i.e stimulated the gag reflex) since probably the first couple years of dealing with this ED. I simply get a strong sensation/urge of stuff wanting to come up, and it's very easy to let it, quietly, and with rather little mess. I rarely feel true nausea in this regard, and I have almost no bile or acid if it's pretty soon after eating due to the length of time my body has been doing this.
If I've managed to keep something down, many hours later, food is still sitting undigested in my stomach (such as if I ate lunch and didn't get sick, but couldn't keep dinner down, I can see the undigested remnants of lunch come up with dinner.)
I really, really want to stop throwing up, but it's such an overwhelming trigger, feeling stuff start refluxing, that I just "let it", but make it stop once the fullness is gone so I can keep down at least some of the nutrition.
When I first got sick of purging after the first year of this disease, I had to stop eating all together to avoid it, because everything was so terrifying I had to throw it up (even dried herbs I was scrounging triggered a purge!) I got very ill, lost even more weight to <100lbs , and was hospitalized/inpatient for a month, outpatient months following, relapsed, inpatient elsewhere for 3 months, then held steady-ish.
I do not have the same mindset as I did back then (wanted to be sick, frail and have it kill me).
Now, I want to be healthy, be able to have kids (been slowly losing my period again), be somewhat comfortable with myself, and I don't want to be sick. However, I am obsessed with weighing less and less, seemingly never satisfied, craving the control and the empty feeling, and the ED battles it out with my desire for superb nutrition every day.
I refuse to change the way/what I eat, and see absolutely no need to allow "everything in moderation", so therapy and dietitians are completely out of the question. They just try to convince you processed food is part of a "normal healthy diet," and for me it never will be. I'm totally happy with that aspect of things, so I'm curious if that's what this "proED" forum is about.
I do not glorify the mental anguish of EDs or wish this insanity on anyone. I support recovery for everyone who wants it, but;
I don't see a problem with being a bit lower than "ideal" weight (<18.5 BMI), or eating a semi-restricted calorie diet forever (studies have shown it actually increases longevity), or being "orthorexic", though I do hope I can find more peace and tranquility despite the disease.
I'm not underweight yet, but I am at my lowest adult weight of 127, a BMI of under 20 at 5'7".
When I was trying to eat normal portions, going through shorter bouts of restriction, and not throwing up as much over the previous 7 years or so (always some form of extremely strict health diet though) I averaged around 140-145 lbs with some muscle, never dipping below 137. Super miserable at that weight. Still am at this weight, but less so. My fiancé is also hyper observant of weight gain or loss, often telling me I look like I gained or lost weight in a day. Notices the tiniest flaws, that I've tried to be less insecure about by telling myself no one but me notices... Guess not. He definitely finds me more attractive the less I weigh. So, it kind of sucks being so closely critiqued, and is a factor in the increasing severity of eating disorder behaviors.
On the other hand, I have finally lost a fair amount of weight this year, and am happier for it.
I think.

I know I’m not the only one that suffers from weight-loss plateaus. Most if not all of us have gone through the same thing. Where it seems like no matter how much you restrict or fast your weight won’t go down. It’s a terrifying feeling, because it makes me feel out of control.
For me, Ana is all about control. Control over numbers that define me: my weight, my calories, how many steps I take in a day. I’m neurotic and keep to a precise daily schedule. If anything doesn’t go as planned I begin to get anxious and may even turn to bingeing to cope.
It’s taken me awhile to learn to be able to step on the scale, see the same weight for a few days in a row, and tell myself bingeing is the worst way to deal with this. I guess a part of me just wants to be able to wake up every day and see progress, even if it means going backwards in my weight-loss journey. I need to feel like I control my numbers.
I’d like to hear about your experiences with plateaus and how you deal with them. They’re a very frightening/frustrating thing so I’m looking for examples and suggestions from others of how to deal with them. Thank you <3

I'm always looking for new recipes to try that are low calorie and google isn't much help (always 300+ calories) and I think it would be great if there was a sort of place where all of these low calorie recipes could be put together, or foods that are "safer" like zero noodles or PB2.
I've always found I'm more apt to binge if I'm bored with what I'm eating and my roommates think it's weird that I only eat sugar free jello, zero noodles, and unsweetened almond milk with PB2 and a banana.

My incredibly supportive mother has been acting as my nutritionist. She has me eating five small, healthy meals a day, one every two hours. Apparently this method tricks your body into burning off calories easier. Two workouts a day - 45 minutes of cardio, 45 of weights - and as of this morning I'm exactly 4 pounds lighter than I was on Sunday morning.
I feel fantastic. I'm more energised during the day, I sleep better at night. My body even looks different already. I'm finally on the right track :)

**Letting Ana Go (by Anonymous)**
> In the tradition of *Go Ask Alice* and *Lucy in the Sky*, a harrowing account of anorexia and addiction.
> She was a good girl from a good family, with everything she could want or need. But below the surface, she felt like she could never be good enough. Like she could never live up to the expectations that surrounded her. Like she couldn’t do anything to make a change.
> But there was one thing she could control completely: how much she ate. The less she ate, the better—stronger—she felt.
> But it’s a dangerous game, and there is such a thing as going too far…

I ate upwards of 1700 calories a day for three days maybe a week ago, but now I have a high-intensity camp where I'm exercising a lot and I've been hella sore for a week. Could my body be retaining water weight from the sudden increase in exercise?
Your body retains water when you eat a high amount of salt, or excess carbs, but what other ways can you gain water weight?

I just wanted to share with you all this adorable, awesome app that allows you to track your average weight loss over time. I know a lot of us have extreme fluctuations, and this app actually averages out weights for you as you log them daily. It even provides graphs and charts for you to visualize your progress and allows you to export spreadsheets of your logged weights to your email. And best of all, it allows you to set ANYTHING as your target weight, even if it will put you below an 18.5
The app's name is Happy Scale. The base app is free and just fine on its own. You can purchase the upgraded version of you want "estimates" of weekly weight loss based on your trends.
I love logging in daily weights and seeing pretty, colorful charts. I hope you all get as much joy out of it as I do <3

I'm so glad this sub exists. I've been lurking for a while and finally decided to make an account just for this sub. I've always been uncomfortable with my size ever since I was a kid, even though I've always been in the healthy weight range. I started really restricting about 7 months ago, and now it's become very obsessive. I want to be as small as I can without raising suspicion.
That's just a little intro, I'm so glad I joined and I look forward to how supportive this sub seems to be.

I created this new account for thinspo advice and support. My husband knows my other account and I think a few of my friends do as well, so this will be my new help line!
I've been cutting calories for a while now, and I'm on EC two to three times a day and I have been losing a little. Slow but steady. Now that I'm in a new city and around people who work shift work, it'll be a lot easier for me to control what and when I eat. I feel like I should ease into lower and lower calorie targets, just to help with the binges and to not make people suspect anything drastic or start to worry. (right now I'm at about 1000-1200 a day and I think I can easily get to 700-800 a day, with a little wiggle room for when I'm being social)
However, I get so hangry! Like, visibly and mentally upset when I feel hungry or I don't eat. Even if I just have a small piece of food, it makes it all better, but I still have trouble stopping and not turning that into a full meal. So for me, I'd rather not start to eat, but at the same time, I can feel myself getting short with other people and easily annoyed in general when I don't eat much.
How do you deal with the emotional issues that come with cutting out most foods and lowering your intake? Does it go away after a while? I just feel horrible when I'm in Super Bitch mode, because I know I can just prevent it by eating something, but that goes against what I'm trying to accomplish.

> Twenty-six-year-old Frannie Hunter has just moved back home. Bright, wry, blunt, and irreverent, she invites you to witness her family's unraveling. Her Harvard-bound sister is anorexic, her mother is having an affair, her father is obsessed with the Food Network, her grandfather wants to plan her wedding (even though she has no fiancé, let alone a steady boyfriend), and, to top it off, Frannie is a waitress who wears a dirty duck apron and serves plates of fried cheese to her ex-boyfriend's parents.
> By turns wickedly funny and heartbreakingly bittersweet, *Hunger Point* chronicles Frannie's triumph over her own self-destructive tendencies, and offers a powerful exploration of the complex relationships that bind together a contemporary American family. You will never forget Frannie, a "sultry, suburban Holden Caulfield," who critics have called "the most fully realized character to come along in years," (Paper) and you'll never forget *Hunger Point*, an utterly original novel that stuns with its amazing insights and dazzles with its fresh, distinctive voice.

My whole life, I've been a healthy weight. Probably about the middle of a healthy weight. I'm 5'5.5", and when I'm not restricting, I hover around 125. When my ED would act up, I've dropped down to 98, but that's not typical for me. I've begun restricting again for the last month. I do pretty well during the week and on Saturday, but I usually binge on Sunday. I've been trying hard to break that habit. Unfortunately, due to that weekly binge, I've been stuck around 120-121 for about 2-3 weeks. I fasted afterwards to try to get back down, but I would binge again after. It was a shitty cycle, so I decided I was done fasting, and hopefully the binges would follow suit.
This past Sunday was the closest I've come to eating normally. Since I decided to stop fasting, I've been consuming around 700-900 calories daily. This last Sunday, I went to a small carnival with my boyfriend. We walked around all day. I had a little bit to eat because the rides were making me feel sick on an empty stomach. We had plans to meet with friends later for 10 cent wings, which we used to do every week, but we've since cut back. I had planned for that to be my only source of calories for the day, but I broke it because I was feeling sick and I wanted food to calm my stomach down from the carnival rides. I ended up consuming about 1800 calories that day. My usual binges on Sundays range from 2500-3500 calories. So Sunday was still bad, but not as bad as usual.
On Monday, I was 121, so my water weight hadn't fluctuated as much as it usually did. I decided I could do ab ripper X to tone up a little. I had a scoop of protein powder mixed with water immediately after my workout.
Tuesday, I woke up and I weighed 119. I was elated! Usually when I restrict, it's extremely difficult to get lower than 120. I think that's where my body naturally tries to maintain. The only issue: I was extremely hungry. My hunger pangs were stronger than ever, but I refused to give in. I ignored them and I felt really lightheaded and weak. I went and got a black coffee to try to energize myself. It worked! I felt great and I was even able to focus more on work than usual.
Today, I weigh 117. My weight is dropping way quicker than before. I'm losing a pound a day. Now that I've ignored the initial intense hunger, I'm not hungry at all. I continue to eat about 700 calories daily because I don't want to slow my metabolism or force my appetite to come back tenfold, but I'm still losing weight quickly. I'm happy, but a little worried. Is this sustainable? I don't want to break the weight loss pattern, but I also don't want to binge horribly either. I've found that my desire to eat is almost completely gone, so if I stay in this mood, I don't think I'll binge this Sunday. But I also don't want the urge to come back stronger than ever either. Advice? Words of comfort? How can I make this last?

So I'm on vacation and currently being forced to eat 1500-2000 calories a day on account of "recovery" and all that bullshit. When I left I was at a solid 111 and now I apparently weigh about 116-118. I've only been on vacation a week and I've been doing at least an hour of exercise a day, how the hell is this possible? Is it actual weight gain or maybe just water retention?
And how can I get back on track ASAP and be under 110 for when school starts on the 17th without my parents noticing? I'm freaking the fuck out. I don't want to get fatter than I am right now shcjvkvl

* Feeling hungry: I love feeling hungry. Yesterday I didn't eat anything at all, and today when I woke up I was in such a good mood. I just *feel* good. I have more energy than I usually do, I feel like my mind is clearer and sharper than usual, and I'm motivated to do the things I need to (like laundry) that I usually procrastinate on. I feel totally (awesomely) empty right now, which brings me to my next point...
* Drinking water: I love drinking water when my stomach is empty. Warm, cold, or all the temperatures in between. Feeling water go down my throat and into my stomach (cold is best for this, but tea can be a good warming sensation too) is just the best. Sometimes it gives me goosebumps I like it so much. This is something that only happens when your stomach is totally empty, so its like a nice little reward for having will power. Speaking of rewards, another of my favorite 'perks' of a successful fast is...
* NO DISHES TO WASH!!: awww yisss.... I cleaned my kitchen two days ago. It's still spotless, and I haven't had to wash or put away a dish since the last time I cleaned it. I use one big glass for water, and that's really all I need. To be honest, of all the household chores I probably mind washing dishes the least (it can be soothing to put your hands in hot water, dish detergent smells good, and there's something undefinably satisfying about washing off old gross food to make the dish clean again) but its nice to have one less chore to do.
What are some of *your* favorite things (if you have any) about being hungry/not eating? Or, the flip-side, what do you struggle with most/like the least about not eating or being hungry?
Regardless of any of it, I hope you're having a great day. I'm feeling pretty good, and I cant think of anywhere else I'd rather share that feeling... especially since this is probably the only place that understands.

I keep telling myself I'll restrict more, and I do, for a few days I stay under 500 calories. And then comes the days when I think I'm gonna make it through the day without going over my limit, and end up binging and eating like a pig. I keep hitting myself after I realize what I've done. It's like I eat a bit of something that I like, and then think, fuck it I'll fast tomorrow, and start eating everything in sight. I hate myself. I feel disgusting right now after binging on candy and chocolate and cookies. I'm never gonna get to my goal weight like this. Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with this mentality? How do I get back on the wagon? I honestly hate eating I would rather not do it at all, but I still live with parents and they make me eat, and I'm not blaming them, but when they make me eat something, there's an increased chance that I will binge. I'd rather not eat at all. I tell them I want to fast but they don't understand the concept of fasting for a few days. Help :(

I’m almost free from my stepmother. She’s been trying to tear me down and force me to eat but in just three short days I’ll be out of this hellhole and back to living on my own (3/7 days of the week anyways. I spend thurs.-sun. with my BF and I don’t want him catching on). I couldn’t be happier to be leaving this place. For three months she’s been tormenting me with passive-aggressive comments about my weight, me being unhealthy (coming from a woman who smokes like a chimney and drinks like a fish), and trying to force me to eat junk food to make herself feel better. Not only that, but I’m only 4.4 lbs. away from my GW of 100 lbs. as of today. She tried to sabotage my weight loss but failed!
I wanted to thank this wonderful subreddit for all of the support and advice I’ve gotten over the past few months as regards to how to deal with her. Your kind words and helpful tips have really helped me overcome the years of abuse and neglect she brings up and I couldn’t thank you all enough.

Hey everyone,
In response to [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/proED/comments/3fy1d7/what_do_you_think_of_specifying_weight_lost_since/) post, I have edited the flair to allow you to specify the amount of weight lost since your first Stat post, since you started restricting/dieting, or whatever other starting point you choose.
The flair will be something like this:
5'6 | 118 | 19 | -20 | F
So the amount of weight lost is signified by a negative sign in front, so here it says I've lost 20 lbs.
I have also edited the Weekly Stat automod post to allow you to include how much weight you've lost so far. Again, you may reference any starting point.

There's a lot of other stuff there, but I know my boyfriend has kind of noticed my eating patterns lately. It's just making me nervous because I know she's a nutritionist, and I'm afraid he might have said something to his mom and she's going to kind of...watch me eat. Or like, make suggestions about what I should be eating.
I know she can't do anything beyond that because I'm an adult and she's not *my* mother, but it's just stressing me out. I just don't want to deal with it, but, I also don't want to turn her down because things have been weird between my boyfriend's family and myself over the last year, and I want to make an attempt at a relationship between us.
EDIT: So, wound up eating a total of 985 calories today. I'm stopping now, no more for the rest of the day. And I'm fasting tomorrow. But, lunch went fine (except I started feeling quite sick in the middle of the meal) and I feel a little silly for panicking so much. I managed to plan everything I was going to eat, except for the fact his mom wanted to split a dessert. I actually feel a little more like I can trust myself if I wind up in another situation like this (eating out with friends.) Sometimes, certain foods (like bread) will trigger binges for me. I'm proud of myself for not binging.

First time poster, sorry for the ramble.
Background: Lately I've been struggling with how I feel about food I think due to developing major depression that stopped me caring about food and then the appetite suppressant side effects that made it so I didn't have to eat. Once that balance was back, I'd lost 14kg and looked better than I had in my whole life of being a fat kid. People were a lot nicer to me, and it seemed like being less fat had made me a valid and valued human being. Now whenever I look at myself all I see is how fat I was and how fat I still am and how I let myself be so disgusting my whole life.
I'm terrified of going back to that.
I've been exercising pretty hard and training for a distance run while restricting my calories, but when I get crisis/depressive episodes I eat to make myself feel better (obviously it doesn't and I hate myself constantly afterwards).
Anyway I ate breakfast out with some friends because I was going to have a really hard boxing session that afternoon but about 10 minutes in I pulled a muscle in my right arm and couldn't catch any punches and had to sit in the corner icing it.
Then I had a brain blast of "I'm going to be a fat kid forever and there's no point to any of this" and kind of spiralled down after what was already a frustrating day. I ate loads of pasta and went to bed and now it's tomorrow.
It's still sore and I have a distance run on the weekend, but I also need to compensate for yesterday's fuckup and I said I'd go to a friend's for dinner and I haven't seen her in ages, she's going to notice I'm smaller and if I don't eat she'll freak out.
I also have a pretty bad chest infection that's making exercise difficult. My plan is to go for a run today (10-12km) but I also want to go to the gym but I'm so tired and struggling to motivate myself. Depression sucks, food sucks, I suck. What do I do now?

I noticed that we have weekly stats that updates current weight, but what would you think of including a starting weight or including weight loss that subtracts starting weight from current weight? You would calculate from your first Weekly Stat Post.
Alternatively or in addition, we could include weight loss in the user flair, like 5'6 | 118 | 19 | -13 | F, or would that be too long?
Edit: I've made the necessary changes in flair and automod.

I had a huge fight with my BF last week and went out with my sister to Outback and ate like a pig. According to MFP my daily average for last week was still 960 but on Monday I was 4lbs heavier. I've been drinking water a lot and eating ate about 700 calories yesterday but this morning I was even 1lb heavier than yesterday! I know weight fluctuates but I have NEVER seen such extreme fluctuations. Usually it's just 1lb so now I feel gross and like maybe it's not just water weight like I thought. I ate about 2200 calories on Saturday, 1280 on Sunday, 1215 Monday, and 700 yesterday. Has this happened to anyone and how long did it take to see the "water weight" disappear?

**Skinny Boy: A Young Man's Battle and Triumph Over Anorexia by Gary Grahl**
> Challenging the assumption that anorexia is an exclusively female affliction, this compelling memoir is the first to describe how a young man overcame this often fatal disorder. Handsome and popular, Gary had baseball abilities that had attracted the attention of the big leagues, until a shaming inner-voice convinced him that he needed to be thinner, leading to an out-of-control compulsion to exercise and starve himself, causing multiple hospitalizations. Providing strategies for tackling the recovery process and examples of changes in the thinking needed to take those steps, this important narrative comes at a time when eating disorders are at an all-time high in America, afflicting more than 8 million men. Demonstrating how anyone can win the internal battle between mind and body, this much-needed biography offers therapists, sufferers, and their families with powerful tools to help them triumph over this life and death battle.

**Boys Get Anorexia Too: Coping with Male Eating Disorders in the Family by Jenny Langley**
> Eating disorders are usually associated with females but there are an increasing number of males affected by anorexia and bulimia. Often there is a link between male eating disorders and athletic prowess, and the quest for physical perfection can result in damaging behaviours associated with diet, supplements and exercise.
> This unique and important book combines a mine of information with a readable and engaging case study. The author was shocked and horrified when her son developed anorexia at the age of twelve. Having a research background, she naturally turned her attention to finding out as much as she could about how best to combat this terrifying illness. Her son is now fully recovered and has supported this book that not only describes their experiences, but also provides a practical guide on how to cope with male eating disorders.

I'm realizing that my personal beauty standards are not the same as the ones I have for others. Part of this is certainly because I'm male, but I think I'd feel the same way if I was female.
Despite my constant desire to be thinner, when I look at someone else, I don't think thin = beautiful. What's fucked up is the fact that I weigh less than my image of an ideal body, yet I'm still losing weight. I suppose it always comes back to control. I feel good knowing that, if I don't eat, I won't gain weight. I may not be progressing towards a perfect body, but I'm also not progressing towards getting fat, which is the worst possible thing that can happen to me.
Anyone else feel this way?

I've developed a list of local restaurants that have normal looking dishes that are low enough calories to keep me from freaking out or feeling guilty later. If I'm in a situation that includes eating out, I try to steer the decisions towards my "safe" restaurants when I can. Here is what I have so far. Feel free to add yours in the comments, and maybe we could compile a nice reference list. I live on the west coast of the USA.
**Starbucks:** Tall Americano with 2% (It's two espresso shots, water and about 1/4 cup of milk. Not nearly as suspicious as getting black coffee) 45 kcal
or
Black Tea with 1 pump vanilla 21 kcal
**Red Robin:** Chicken Ensenada Platter with 1 chicken breast 230 kcal. High, but low compared to literally everything else on the menu.
**Chick fil A:** 8 count grilled nuggets 140 kcal
**Taco Bell:** Fresco steak soft taco 150 kcal
**Chipotle:** Burrito bowl with rice, beans, peppers/onions, mild salsa and guacamole. Then discreetly divide it into thirds and only eat a third at a time. 193 kcal per 1/3 of bowl.
I plan to expand this as I can.

I have been wanting to take things really seriously but I have been so lazy and I guess just hoping it happens. I was able to lose weight twice before.
My initial goal is to lose 25lbs to get down to 200lbs. Then I want to get down to 150 and then hopefully 128. I know it's going to take time and that frustrates me but I am SO tired of being fat. I am so tired of my SO's baby momma calling me fat. I have been taking Adderall to curb my appetite and do lose weight here and there. I do great during the week but then on the weekends, I binge like crazy because I am bored at home. I also binge at home at night because there is nothing else to do. I end up eating popcorn and cookies. I hate this. I don't know how to control myself. I just get comfortable around my SO and want to eat everything. I am running out of Adderall and only have a months supply left. I HAVE to get things going. I know I need to be obsessive about it like I was the first 2 times. It needs to be my life but it's so hard with so many people at home. I KNOW food isn't worth it and I do my best not to eat crappy processed food. When I work out, I do lose more weight but I feel lazy and unmotivated to go to the gym. When I do Yoga, I feel like the fattest person there. I hate looking at myself. I just want to be thin. I just want to make SOME progress and I don't want to give up. I can do this. I just need to get back into it. I need to take it seriously. I want to do this. I want to be able to wear sexy things during the Summer. I want to be able to wear a sexy costume for Halloween and not look obese. I want to be one of the thin successful girls that people want to be around. I am tired of being the overweight loser. I am SO tired of only being able to buy XL clothes. I want to fit back into my size M yoga pants. I want to fit into Victoria Secret clothes. I want to look and feel great. I hate how long it's going to take UGH!
Sorry for my rant but I just have to get back into things and it's been really, really hard. Just one day at a time.

Hard to find pro ana/mia stuff online these days. When I was in college, it was everywhere and changed my life. I lost 60lbs following the principles. Ready to get back into things. I was worried Reddit wouldn't have a support group because I have no where to go to talk about it. So so ready to get back into but I need to be able to express myself and talk about it. Ready to set some goals and stick to it I feel proud when I can do it but even prouder when I can talk about it. In order for it to work, I need to be immersed with it. Obsessed with it. I have evolved beyond writing it in a book so I need somewhere discreet that I can post openly. Thanks in advance for supporting me.

I've been losing weight down from 175 pounds to 152 (ew) and am trying to overcome my binge/starve cycles and just starve instead. One thing I've noticed is that I can't stand the taste of dairy products anymore (cheese used to be my weakness).
For lunch I was going to have some cottage cheese, and I couldn't manage a full spoonful without feeling like I was going to throw up. No, its not spoiled or anything... and last month I couldn't do the taste of butter or milk anymore. I'm mildly lactose intolerant (like if I drink more than two glasses of milk I feel sick) but I've never had it outright just tasting terrible to me.
Has this happened to anyone with dairy products or with other foods? Do you know why? I'm just really curious if my body is changing due to my diet or if they always tasted bad to me but I never noticed?

So I just ate like 600 calories, which is 100 less than I've allotted myself for the entire day. Naturally my first instinct after coming out of the binge was to purge. A little backstory here, I've struggled with EDs since I was 12, no hospitalizations or anything though, just a cobstant feeling of shame and disappointment and a hyperawareness of my intake. I was doing really well for about a year with getting healthy and a recent stress has pushed me back into old habits. Now normallly I just restrict and exercise, but I have been known to have bulimic tendencies. So I tried purging today, drank a tonne of water beforehand and all that, but nothing came out. I mean its not a big deal cause I haven't gone over my caloric intake for the day but I just feel so fucking defeated. Like if I can't even purge what can I do? You know. Anyways, thanks for reading my little rant. If anyone has tips on how to make it easier to purge that would be super useful for the next time I inevitably fuck up.

Sorority rush is in 2 weeks and I need a crash diet. (By crash, I mean jumpstart the things I was gonna do anyway). Apparently binge drinking all summer and being too depressed to hit the gym doesn't get you a beach body, who knew.
Here is my plan, CCW:
- Intake: 800, 500, 1000, fast. Repeating. I know this is kinda high, but this is realistic for me. Of course I won't use all of them unless I need to.
- Exercise: run 2-3 miles at least 2 of every 3 days. Lifting for the next five days before I go home (and away from the gym), probably bump up the running next week and doing bodyweight exercises.
- Other: live and breathe Bronkaid. Dunkin black iced coffee for finals, finally weaned myself to a 2/1 or 1/1 and that can be a treat some days within my limit. Preworkout on days when I need it. Live and breathe ice water.
- Get a tan so they can't see imperfections on my skin.

And it always involves food. After yesterday's binge, I'm a little freaked out about seeing people. And then I'm scared I'll get a little hysterical, because sometimes I freak out around meal time. What's worse, is I'm in charge of bringing a dessert, and I just want to try to avoid eating anything, if it's at all possible.
I'm probably going to restart the ABC diet on Monday. I'm sorry, I feel like all my thoughts are in a jumble right now.
EDIT (8/4/15): I managed to get through the evening just taking bites of everything, so, I successfully avoided a binge. It feels strangely powerful.

Weighed in at 138 today; all time low before was 139 (a year ago)! So thrilled to pass it, but still a long long way to go. And I think I look worse today than I did at 139 a year ago -- like I still have a noticeable crease between my stomach and my pelvis. But I know I can get there.

Hey everyone, I'm kinda new to this sub, but I really really love all the positivity here! So glad to be a part of it. Anyway...
Ever since I started living with my boyfriend (now husband), I feel like I *have* to eat more when he's around to keep a sense of normalcy. Like, if he wants lunch, I should want lunch too. If I try and skip meals around him, he nags me to eat more, so lately I've just been giving in.
I couldn't just let myself have all those calories though, so I have been purging waaaaay more often. (Usually I would save that behavior for Christmas/Thanksgiving where you can't NOT eat...but now it's happening almost everyday.)
My question is: what do you do when you live with someone? How can I go back to eating 500-800 calories a day without "skipping meals." I just don't want to keep purging as often as I have been lately.

I decided this morning that I need a short fast. Sometimes when I'm finding myself not feeling well, sluggish, discouraged, and/or unmotivated I find a little fast helps.
I'm not sure how long I'll go this time, probably not more than two or three days, but however long it is I always feel better during/after than I do when eating more 'normally'. Pretty much regardless of what foods I have, I always end up dealing with persistent heart burn/indigestion (according to dr's, due to stress) which always seems to clear right up when I stop eating.
Problem was I had some chicken in the fridge that needed using up (and really hate being wasteful), so I cooked it and made an Asian chicken salad out of it (really good, and no mayo so a bit easier on calories. I usually eat it as a lettuce wrap), but I didn't eat any. I just covered it up and put it in the fridge. I plan on taking it to a family function tomorrow, where I know it'll get eaten right up. Bam, problem solved.
Also, people tend to assume you're eating if you bring food to an event. So that's a bonus.
This has been kind of a crappy summer for me, I've spent far too much time being discouraged and unmotivated in all areas of my life. I'm hoping that this little fast helps kick me back into gear. I always find I have a more energy and feel more productive when I'm hungry... it sounds corny but hunger feels like success to me, so feeling hungry helps me feel successful and be more positive about things. As long as I have lots of water, I don't experience much discomfort from being hungry. I've always felt grateful for being lucky in that respect.
Oh, and I really love the scrolling image on the sidebar. That thing rules, and so does this sub. It's amazing to have a place to come where people understand.

Maybe it's because I'm recently divorced and back on the dating scene at 31, two kids....but even though my BMI is down to like 21.3 (since last October, 6 months before even filing for divorce) I am suddenly aware of bloating, minor changes in weight, etc and feel horrible about myself. Is this normal? Maybe an early midlife crisis?

I just realized however that I'm never going to be thin or beautiful or happy or successful or like live the perfect happy beautiful life I want. I just really don't want to live anymore.

First of all, I apologize for formatting and all that jazz as I'm posting from mobile. Anywho, I'm a long time lurker and I have never seen a community more supportive than this one, and the support that I see you all have towards each other is what really got me back on the wagon. I've been on a cycle since I was 16 (I'm 24 now) of restricting and b/p. When I met my SO I was at my lowest weight (5'11, 115 lbs) and gained almost 50 pounds over 6 months. When I finally looked myself in the mirror I was so disgusted, nothing fits, and I'm just generally so unhappy. Now I'm back to my old ways, and any support is appreciated!
If anyone is down to be a fasting buddy, or just need motivation PM me, I'd love to have someone to talk to on the regular!

Sorry if this post seems ranty, but I'm really steamed right now.
I'm a very nice person, I can say that confidently. I love helping others out with support and positive reinforcement. I've always been one to find more satisfaction in the happiness of others than my own. As such I am also vulnerable to manipulation and lies, as I can be a bit too trusting of someone who I perceive to be weak or in need.
A few days ago I was randomly messaged by someone on myproana.com who had seen some of my posts on my success fasting and wanted some tips. I asked them for some background information such as what ED they suffered from, what their daily caloric intake was, and if they had ever had experience in fasting before. They informed me that they suffered from binge-restriction cycles and would go through periods of extreme restriction where they would only eat 300 calories in one day and periods of enormous fasting where they would consume upwards of 3,000 calories in a day. I let them know that I would be happy to lend them support and act as a coach through their first fasting experience.
They began their fast and at about noon of the first day they were already seeking my counsel for hunger pains. I thought it was suspicious that someone who could restrict to 300 calories a day would have trouble skipping one meal, but I held my tongue and helped as best as a could. After a brief exchange in which I gave them advice, support, and encouragement they stopped responding for the rest of the day.
I texted them today to ask them if they had been able to go through the entire day without eating and finally got a response telling me that they had been unsuccessful in their fast. At this point I was extremely suspicious. I doubt that anyone that suffers from binge/restriction cycles couldn't even skip one day of eating. I finally confronted my new anonymous "friend" about my doubts and they came clean, saying that on average they eat upwards of 2,000 kcals a day.
By this point I'm livid, but I kept my cool and tried to present the reasons why I was offended and upset in a calm, concise, and neutral manner so I could hopefully get my point across and maybe even teach them an important lesson (that E.D.s are not a choice). The responses I get are rage-filled texts in all caps about how they're anorexic (even though they don't restrict) and how I'm labeling them falsely. I asked them if they had ever been professionally diagnosed and **surprise, surprise,** they hadn't.
Now I know here at r/proed we're very inclusive and tolerant of all EDs, self-diagnosed or not but there has to be a point where blatant lying is unacceptable. Falsifying stats and other information in order to gain access and get "tips and tricks" from all of the lovely people here so you can just drop a couple of pounds is both insulting and honestly makes this subreddit feel a little less safe. I'm sorry of this offends anyone or comes off as crass or rude but I feel it needed to be said. Thankfully my "friend" was from MPA and not this wonderful place but I can't help but wonder if there are others like him here pulling the same scam on the amazing members here who really do suffer from EDs.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this issue. Again, I'm sorry if this offends any of you but I felt it needed to be said. This subreddit is for those who suffer from debilitating disorders that we would never wish on anyone; we're not a subreddit for a quick 2 week fringe diet that's completed and then abandoned after someone gets bored with the idea of having an ED.

[Tip] alternative means of measure

We all chase the scale weight. Everyone get wrapped up in it. I have a GW as well. I'm here to introduce some alternative means to measure ourselves to hopefully give you a better idea of BMIs and why sometimes that needle won't move.
Few things to understand first :
* You **CANNOT** spot reduce fat.
* BMI is just a general calculation of height and weight. [It can be misleading](https://imgur.com/oNlfxoi)
As Dwayne shows us, his massive manly muscles categorize him as obese. For someone of his height he simply weighs too much. Muscle is denser than fat. However, his Body Fat% is MUCH lower than Ragen's. His lack of both [visceral](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adipose_tissue#Obesity) and [subcutaneous](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adipose_tissue#Subcutaneous_fat) fat makes him far healthier.
Other means of measure:
**[Body Calipers](http://www.amazon.com/AccuFitness-AM99-Accu-Measure-Body-Caliper/dp/B000QURRUK):** Some diets are more prone to muscle sparing than others. If you're exercising with your diet, you might be gaining muscle and losing fat. While that needle might be stuck, calipers will give you a more accurate reading of your body fat percentage.
**Tape Measure:** Along the same lines, that needle might be glued in place but some basic body measurements will never lie. I've stalled several times just to see my waist size continue to shrink.
**Pictures:** Once a week, take a picture in the same room, same lighting, same pose. This method ties everything together and helps us think about our weightloss in healthier, longterm ways.
We've all had those days where we felt like shit. We hate how we look. We don't think any progress has been made. Then our best friend we haven't seen in a week says, "Have you lost weight?!"
How great does that feel!?
We see ourselves in the mirror everyday and its all to easy to miss the very subtle changes. Taking weekly measures and pictures will help you see how you've changed by comparison and keep you focused on your journey.
Remember: It's a race of endurance, not a sprint. :)

Hey everyone, I thought I'd share what I use to calculate calories when I cook, in case it will help anyone be less anxious about cooking foods that aren't individually labeled.
[Click me.](http://www.caloriecount.com/cc/account/flog_add.php?tab=new_recipe)
(You have to create an account I think?)
Enter your measurements and ingredients. It will automatically choose a matching food based on what you typed, but if you want to be more accurate, first find the food you are looking for in their database.
For example, say an ingredient is peanut butter. Find the brand of peanut butter you are using, and at the end of the URL is the item number. When you enter peanut butter in your recipe you can write it as "1 tbsp peanut butter [100644]" and it will take the calorie information for that specific brand (I used Jif).
Add everything up, choose how many servings you are making, and it will give you the nutritional information for one serving of your recipe. It also gives a letter grade for how healthy it is. :)
Hope this is helpful!

Hello, long time lurker, first time poster.
At my place of employment they sell this 'ice cream' that's lactose/gluten/fat/gmo free called Arctic Zero that is only 35 calories a serving, and 150 calories per pint. I'm skeptical. If it is true, then I've found my new holy grail, as I always binge on ice cream (right now there's a whole tub of gelato in the freezer, tempting me). I bought a pint of it and it doesn't taste like it's full of calories (does that make sense?) but still...it seems too good to be true. Thoughts?
Edit: not sure why I'm being downvoted, but thank you for the responses :) Deleting later

I've had 4 days at or under 900 with no binging. I live with a partner so eating less than that isn't feasible unless they're out of the house all day. But I should *still* be losing on 900, and the scale hasn't moved an ounce all week. I'm starting to worry that something in me is broken and maybe 900 is my bmr and I'm just useless at everything I do. I've been exercising and eating healthy low carb foods too! I just don't understand and I want to just cut myself open and scrape out all the fat with a fucking spoon. Sorry for the rant I'm just furious at myself.

I've mentioned this before but people still ask a lot of questions about what to do at restaurants with friends. Here's what you do:
Taking your fork in left hand, knife in right hand, start cutting up your food. Cut the main thing in half, and then one half into quarters. Don't start dicing everything because that's ED-ish. Just cut enough to look messy.
As you cut the food, chat casually. When you've gotten a bite size piece, put it on your fork. Keep talking, and make slight gestures with the piece of food on your fork as if making gestures normally with hands.
Now, be careful here:
When people aren't looking, you must quickly put your fork down, put the piece of food back on your plate in an obscure way (like behind the pile of vegetables) and pick up a different piece or cut out a different piece, but keep your fork low so it looks like you just picked it up.
A good way to do this safely is if there's something on your plate that you can mix. Mash potatoes are great for this. Dip your fork with the piece of food into the mash potatoes as if to mix whatever with the mash potatoes, and as your dipping, flick the food off.
The important thing here is to make sure people don't notice you taking food off your fork.
Then at the end, be like, "omg, I'm so full. Anyone want some? Otherwise, I'll take it home for later". Contrary to popular belief, people don't automatically assume that skinny girls who don't eat all their food are anorexic. They usually assume that you don't have much of an appetite.

I just came back from a short stint on MPA.com and found that it is not in-fact pro-ana. It's filled with people that are pro-recovery and refuse to listen to sound science or factual information. For a while I forwent this subreddit for that website since it seemed more active but I realize its large size came with a price. It's filled with very young, opinionated people as well as older, spiteful ones who instead of using the site as a platform to help support our lifestyles they use it to tear others down. Thankfully I'm returning here and hopefully will feel more at home on a website and subreddit that I love so much.

Hi there! I'm actually pretty new here, stumbled upon this subreddit yesterday, lurked around for a bit and am pretty happy to have found a place where I won't be chastised for how I am. A little bit of background, I had an ED (Mia) for a couple of years, but I recovered, gained back all the weight and then some. About six months ago I started restricting, and while I'm not happy with the progress I've made (super slow because of all the slip ups I've had :< ), I'm hopeful that I'll reach my goal ASAP :)
So I was just wondering what everyone's reasons for having an ED are. Honestly, for me, it started out as a means of losing weight (which I'm guessing is a pretty normal reason), but I found the more I restricted, the happier I felt. Hearing the grumbles and growls of my stomach when I don't eat is like music to my ears. It made me feel alive after feeling apathetic for a long time. The hunger, the sounds, feeling in control, it was just such a beautiful thing, and I've become addicted ever since.
I hope this isn't an inappropriate question! If it is, please do kindly let me know so I can take the thread down :)

1500 calories? That's basically two days worth of food. It's my first binge in a long time and I don't know what to do. I tried purging but I never am able to. Its raining so I cant go run it off.
I remember I used to be so tiny. How did I let myself get this way?
Going to boyfriends for next few days, so fasting isn't an option.

I know (well, I assume) almost everyone involved here does cardio to help burn calories. But I've been wondering whether one also needs to do things like sit-ups, push-ups, squats, etc in order to achieve the right body. I've been doing the aforementioned exercises for a while and to be blunt, they make me want to cry. If any of you could weigh in on whether this is necessary, or if weight loss alone can give you the desired shape, i'd be grateful

I wouldn't call myself anorexic but I can feel myself spiraling and it feels good. For starters here are my stats: 5'1 F 27 SW: 184lbs CW: 137lbs GW: 100lbs. I feel like in the beginning I was doing everything I was supposed to do. Eating 1200 calories a day, losing 1-2lbs a week. Exercising. I started a new job and loved the control I was able to exert on my diet. When I feel depressed or have a fight with my BF, I feel I am able to control my diet more and more. It's like the one area in my life that makes sense and I can control. I love the numbers, the science of it. I picture myself with a flat stomach and it makes it that much easier.
I felt myself slipping. I set a weekly goal of 7000 calories. Still acceptable for a woman my size. But I found myself lying to everyone about how much I was really eating. My BF thinks 1000 calories a day is much too low. He doesn't know most days I average 600-800 calories. I changed the settings on MFP to private. I think I will start a weekly 24hr fast also. I love seeing the numbers on the scale drop. I haven't been here since freshman year of college. I got to 100lbs and I felt invincible. I've read a lot of your posts here and you all sound like wonderful, understanding people and I can't wait to talk to you more.

Hi, so I've been lurking this sub for quite a while and decided to make an account because this isn't anything I can talk about with my friends in real life. Basically, I'm just sick of having my imperfect body. I want to be thinner; I want to look at myself and feel proud and not disgusted. I'm terrified of gaining weight. These, I'm sure, are thoughts that I don't need to explain to any of you.
Background (not sure if necessary): I ballooned up to 180 pounds at 5'6", am currently at 145. This was through the standard cutting out of junk food, more exercise, etc. My goal is to reach 120 by November, and I need help.
My mom had an ED when she was in high school so she's very aware of what I eat, so going super low won't last for long. If I start at 500, then upping the calories by 50-100 every week, until I get to 1,000, will that be counterproductive? I plan to stay at 1,000 -1,200 once I reach my goal. Eating any more just...isn't what I want.
So my plan, then: run 3x a week; strength 3x a week; 1 rest day on Sunday, and I'll also fast that entire day. 500 kcal the first week, 600 kcal the second, so on until 1000 kcal a week. When I increase calories I'll increase exercise to stay at 1500 kcal deficit per day if I can. (I live on a college campus so I walk everywhere which is also helpful.)
Question: my ideal body is to be thin (clearly) but to have a fuller, round butt. Weight loss isn't ideal nor can I spot reduce but if I focus on glute exercises and eat protein, will my plan get the results that I want?
Sorry for the wall of text. Never shared my thoughts before so it's nice to get it out. Thank you in advance!

Stats not in my flair but important to the post: 16 years old, originally a 32DD
Hi friends, I'm having a bit of trouble right now. I've been losing weight steadily for the past three or so months and have lost around 13 pounds. Not too much, but I was at normal weight to start. Now, the cups of my bra are fitting more loosely, and I'm not sure what I want anymore. I haven't gone bra shopping since I noticed the change, so I don't know if I'm really a 32D now or what.
Yesterday I noticed that my bras fit like they had in the past when I stuffed a rolled up sock in the bottom. It make me kind of upset, I still see fat all over my body and I know I have more to lose, but I don't want my breasts to be shadows of their former selves.
Being upset and confused I went on a binge, maybe an extra 800 calories. I don't usually binge when I'm upset, so I think this might have more to do with not understanding why or even if I want to lose weight.
No, of course I want to lose weight. I just don't want to lose my boobs as well. It took a while, 6 years until I came to terms with it all, but I did grow accustomed to them and now they're changing. I've probably spent $200 on bras that now don't fit right. My boyfriend said he'd pay for new bras if I continue to lose weight and need them, so that isn't too much of an issue, but I still hate the waste. I wouldn't want to buy new bras and then regain all the weight in the future.
I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any advice?

Ana has me wrapped around her finger already. All I can think about is getting smaller. It's like something switched off in me and I don't even crave food anymore. I love feeling like I'm taking charge of what I eat. But on day 1 I felt so much better than I did today. Maybe it's because I had more protein and caffeine yesterday? I felt like I was going to pass out every time I stood up today. My body ached, I had no energy and I couldn't think straight. Is this normal? I ended up eating a little more and I felt better, slowly. But it was hard to take in that much food. My tummy didn't feel hungry. I also have a massive headache that wont go away, even though I've been drinking tons of water. DAE feel like that? Can I prevent feeling so sick? Or is it part of the deal? :/

Either save wrappers from binges or throw the contents out and save the empty wrappers. Since I still live at home I leave them lying around my room or go to throw them out while my family is in the kitchen. This makes it more convincing when I try to get out of eating much dinner by claiming that I ate a lot during the day

Hello!
I'm a long time lurker, who decided to create a new account to post... I have so enjoyed this positive community so I finally decided to fight my nerves and reach out to you all!
I've always had an interesting relationship with food, which has skirted on the edge of normal. I have had a vicious b/p cycle for many years, but am trying to focus mainly on restriction more recently. I'm currently 156, down from my HW of 220. My first goal weight for now is 145, but I have a long way to go after that. I hope that it isn't too insane for me to post here, especially given my BMI, but over the past month this community has so inspired me, I desperately wanted to contribute in some way.
Nice to finally meet you all! <3

Hi everyone--
Hoping to introduce myself. I'm 20 and this is my 3rd time w/ an ED. I've never had it very long -- 8 months and 3 months; each time I've had a major life change (going to college, going back to college) that distracted me enough that it pulled me out of it. I restrict, aim for 600/day, usually hit 800, with 1000 calories exercise. This time, SW 153, CW 141, GW 130, UGW 115.
I think the hardest part is knowing how much of a burden I am on my friends, which is a lot of why I've come here. It's not fair that I call them every few days crying because I ate a granola bar and I can't handle the 100 calories; it's not fair that I make them worry. Because they know the "solution" and I know the "solution" -- seeing a doctor -- but I don't want to get better. I want to be thin.
And I have so many ups and downs -- I'll be feeling good about myself so allow myself to eat something extra, but a few hours later will feel so so anxious and guilty I feel paralyzed. I see this happen again and again but still can't stop myself from eating when I'm happy/feeling good.
Would love tips on either of these.

So I'm just over 48 hours of fasting and feeling very clear-headed. After a lot of messy b/p days I decided to reward my newfound discipline with a trip to my favorite artists' co-op. They sell vintage and upcycled clothing there (among many other things). There was an adorable little 1958 floral and lace dress there that was too small for me a few months ago, but I tried it on today and it fit! The fun part is that I'm a "little" (in the kink sense) and this dress is very lolita and just perfect for me. And I love that I'm getting "little" and accepting my kinks more at the same time...becoming the person I want to be in more ways than one! I'm excited to hang out with my vintage dress and lacy socks and shrinking body and feel more like the person I want to be every day. YAY! ♡
EDIT: Can I also just say that this is the least judgmental community I've ever been a part of? I'm actually in awe. I don't admit the little thing easily. But I feel very safe here. So much love to all of you, I mean that so sincerely. Feel free to PM for venting purposes or anything ever.

https://voat.co/v/proED <-- go there if this sub is ever banned without warning! It's inactive right now because we don't need it just yet.
Pro-ana/mia communities like us always have the threat of being banned by people who don't understand why we need this kind of community. Reddit's recently been getting more heavy-handed about silencing anything that isn't politically correct or 'safe', which makes me think that eventually, if the notice us, they'll kill this sub. I just wanted to make sure everyone knows we have a backup at Voat if and when it happens!

Wake up, take your pills dear, I know this time of year ain't
right for you...
you came with a sickness, shot down back in Christmas,
Kamikaze rain...
and I'm sure you've lost that weight again,
I'm sure the pills keeping pouring in,
like smoke that falls, it's caving into you...
so put me on a plane, and fly me to anywhere...with you...
one night...when you woke up, you bled...till you spoke up,
oh this ain't pretty dear,
with clocks, watch the time go...till spring, when the sun can
finally be free...
and I'm sure you've lost that weight again,
I'm sure the pills keeping pouring in,
we'll scream at night, to make it go away...
so put me on a plane, and fly me to anywhere...with you...

Hey everyone. I lurk a lot on my main and decided to make an account to start posting and introduce myself, so here goes...hopefully someone, anyone can relate.
I've hated my body for as long as I can remember. I was bullied daily for being fat, and became a very anxious and depressed child because of it. I remember wishing I could just not eat and be normal, like everyone else with normal bodies. I would try to eat exactly half of what my parents gave me and get excited when I lost weight. I grew a little taller and sort of evened out weight wise, but still hated my body. I wouldn't eat all day, but then I would come home after school and binge. Binging definitely has always been an issue for me. In college, I got up to my highest weight of 180.. I ate shit food and drank too much. I am still absolutely disgusted with myself for ever getting that way.. I can't bear to look at pictures from those couple years.
Anyways, I decided to start restricting again and lost about 40 lbs. Graduated, moved across the country, and started grad school. I quit grad school because my anxiety got too bad, and I gained about 20 lbs back.. now I'm here.. I have a stable job that isn't too stressful for me, a great relationship, okay apartment.. I'm on medication now for anxiety and depression, life seems okay, but I still hate myself! I hate being this fat. I hate taking up so much space. I hate eating. I have no idea what I actually look like, but I know it's not good. I am so sick of being me, but I can't escape myself. I want to completely erase who I am and be someone else..
Sorry for the long rant.. I feel like a complete fake posting here to begin with since I am so fat :(

I've compiled a list of all the comments that I've heard implying that I'm fat, and every morning I look at that list and remind myself how disgusting I am. I remember them clearly - those looks of disgust when they see me in a bikini, the shame and embarrassment, the pitiful "you're not his type" comments. I'm disgusting. I want to die. I want to starve to death and die beautiful. I hate myself so much. I'm nothing; I'm trash. I'm some stupid fucking pathetic fat desperate ugly jealous bitch. I'm so fucking pathetic and weak and dumb. I'm nothing and I won't ever be happy and be free of this. I hate this so much and I hate myself for hating myself.

Does anybody else use fasting specifically to numb feelings? It's my go-to when something shitty happens. I had a really bad day yesterday - binged *so much* and purged *sooo much* - but today I got really bad news in the morning when I was at work and was barely holding it together. Until, that is, I decided that today and possibly tomorrow were going to be fast days, and calmness descended. As the day went on, I felt more like myself. Calm and numb and in control of everything. It's just such a good security blanket and now it's nighttime and I'm so happy to be back on track in spite of everything.

[Discussion] 2468 diet

Permalink: http://reddit.com/r/proED/comments/3ex1n2/2468_diet/

I just recently heard about the 2468 diet and I am thinking about giving it a try. The point of this diet is to keep your weekly calorie average low but mixing up the daily intake to keep your body from storing fat.
The first day you eat 200 calories total, the second you eat 400, and then 600 then 800. Once you get up to 800 you go straight back to 200 calories and repeat the cycle.
You will average around 3300 calories over the typical one week cycle. Which would put your average daily intake at just under 500.
Has anyone tried the 2468 diet? How did it go for you? Does this cycle really help you not store fat, or do you think that the weight loss is simply due to restricted calories?
Also it seems tempting to try since I could try and sync up my 800 day with days I have to eat with friends or family. That way I can consume a lot and not totally regret it!

Okay, so this worked for me. If you're a restrict binger, binge purger, or just regular binger, you're going to go through your week this week and write down what happens before your urge to binge. Feel free to use the comments of this thread as notebook.
So for example, my urge to binge always occurs before dinner and after I workout. So instead of doing what I usually do before dinner and after workout, which is reading, I change up the routine to make it impossible to binge by singing and practicing vocals until dinner.
If your binge urge comes in the evening, and you're usually watching tv, stop watching tv and maybe try to sleep earlier. Believe it or not, but sleeping earlier is really helpful for losing weight because you can't binge when you sleep and you resist temptation better when well-rested.
Focus on changing your routine rather than stoping the binge for just one day. If you do something differently to stop the binge one day, repeat it ever day.
Okay, good luck. Hope you break the cycle!
[Tip] The only way to know for SURE what you’re eating is to write it down! These five food journals can help.

I've said 'tomorrow is the day!' for about the 100th time now, only to get to dinnertime, to allow myself a small meal and then binge on a huge dessert. I workout and burn some of it off, but that's probably why I can not lose weight. I've been at the exact same weight (give or take a pound or two) for *months* now, and my diet has changed so much. I've gone from binging every day and not caring about what I eat to calorie restricting excessively to where I am now, and there's been no fluctuation, no changes, nothing. I'm beginning to think I can't do it.
Some days I feel so much thinner too, like I look at myself and think i look great, then other days I think I look obese. It's an endless cycle of 'I'm going great!' straight down to 'I'm such a failure' and right back up again. It all seems pointless

So I weigh myself every morning, not nude, but similar undies and pj's every day. This morning I was a whole 2 pounds heavier than just yesterday! I haven't eaten more than 700 calories a day for a long time but yesterday was closer to 1100!!! Now I feel like a failure. All the different meds I'm on make me sluggish so my workouts only last about 20 minutes these days and I just don't feel like doing anything but sleep most of the time, which I can't because I have a very active 5 year old! So I end up sitting around while she plays just wishing I could get up and move but the energy is not there! I've tried things like hydroxycut and ephedrine and they just make me feel like I'm going to pass out....I'm venting a lot here, but also asking for advice.....I'm really like to maintain 95-96 lbs for a while before this fall when I can get away with heavier layers to disguise my body and really go for 87 or so. But I feel like any calculations for daily calories are wrong for me....does anyone else feel that way? Technically even 1200 is a deficit but I feel like if I eat that much every day I STILL fucking gain. What do i do brothers and sisters, what do I do??? <3

After a long period of binging (and I don't want to say it's over yet) I want to get back on track. I'm making a new set of rules for myself and I thought about fasting, but for me it's simply not possible because of my naturally low blood pressure. Last time I did a 24-hour fast I could barely function and ended up fainting in public. My question is: how effective (if at all) are shorter fasts? Say 12-hour fasts daily and one 20-hour fast per week?
[Goal] Starting tomorrow! :) Give me rules to follow.

This post validates it. in 2013 I was 118 lbs and banging hot jocks and flexing for secret nude pictures on my phone.
2015: I'm 5' 6", 140lbs
Fuck that, I'm too selfish and shallow to allow the physical rendition of who I am to /weigh/ that much. There is so much of me. Ew.
I'm smart, educated, motivated and aware of the power that anxiety and irrational emotions have over my habits. I am not empowered by my own choices - I feel that power is channeled into fueling the system. Into looking at a commercial and being like "hey, looks good!". I became a consumer who consumes because they tell me that I /neeeeeeeeeeed/ something, something tangible, something cheap and full of intoxicating lipids. One moment on the lips, forever on the hips fuckin' right.
"It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change". Right now, my lifestyle is bullshit, my ideal self is all bullshit, the belief that I am attaining all I can be, is bullshit. People fast for months - I fast for a morning. I smoke, I drink, I'm fat and sad. I have sexy collarbones I can no longer see. I want to see the little round 0 inner-hip muscles again. I want to have defined calf muscles when I'm sitting down. When I'm sitting down I don't want to fold over. I don't want to be afraid of taking my clothes off because I'm that body under there. This is MY body. This body I have hanging off my beautiful bones is not me. I am Hannah, I am in this body. I move this hand towards opening the door to my gym, and I move this hand towards my fridge. This hand with the delicately small wrist that I notice is not so small... I could not do either of those - I control this body, I can ignore this mind if I want to - but which one will make me a more disciplined human?
From this moment on,
I will never again be a system-serving pleb.
I will have complete control over my homeostatic desires.
I will not disappoint myself.
Stage 1: purge, Stage 2: progress, Stage 3: Proed ;)
See y'all in three months.

So I've had Ana for years now on and off. The past few years I ended up having something that resembled BED more and ballooned up to 180lbs (at 5' 7" yikes!!!) Recently I've been preparing for grad school and the Ana has kicked back in. I've already lost ten pounds. It just feels so disgusting to eat and I just hate my body. Anyway my question is this, does anyone who started at a higher weight end up with loose skin from losing weight too quickly? I'm terrified I'll have this huge mass of skin because I can't eat. It's so gross. I'm in my early 20s so maybe my skin will be able to reform itself?

I've just moved to a new place. I have barely any gas in my car. I have nothing to cook with. I have no food and no pots or pans. I've barely eaten for the past three days. I'm really hungry and I want to order food. I must have opened and closed the webpage ten times, but I just can't do it.
Every time I feel overcome with guilt because I can't justify spending even $12 on food, even if it's just some salad and vegetables. I just can't do. This feeling sucks because it's a pretty negative emotion, but maybe I should just be grateful. I've lost 4.5 pounds in the last three days alone.
Maybe I'll just go outside and have a cigarette.

If you're not using it already, you should be. It's like a cross between adderall and a diet pill, without any unpleasant digestive effects or stimulant jumpiness, and it's perfectly legal. It suppresses your appetite like no other. It helps you focus and gives you energy, but you're still able to sit back and relax if you choose.
In my area, $15 gets you 60 pills at CVS, I take them daily but some people do more or less. They're well-known in the bodybuilding community as a fat burner. They make you scan your ID at time of purchase so they know you aren't making meth, but you can still buy more than enough to abuse in our way.

Hi everyone! This morning I weighed in at 114.6lbs, under my first goal weight of 115! This is the first milestone I've ever reached, so I'm super happy about it. Maybe it's all just water weight that I lost, but que será será amiright? Odds are I'll be back at 115.4 tomorrow, I've been hovering there for a couple days, but that's ok! I'm still making progress and it feels amazing to know that I can do it.
Thank you all so much for your tips and support. Next stop, 110!

For the past week or so I have been struggling with very graphic nightmares that I either binge eat and get obese, or most recently that I start getting deathly sick/near death. It's pretty bad because I wake up very early and can't sleep again, and I'm tired all day (and not to mention disturbed). This is a silly question because no body knows wtf dreams actually are, but I would love to have a deep sleep without having to wake up at least 3 times. It would be great to know what works for you!

2. Gain a fuller face
3. Attend a family dinner where all my relatives said I look better now that I'm bigger
4. Abandoned most of my school work because I'm busy stuffing my face
My boyfriend has been very sweet, but honestly, he doesn't get it. And he's a medical professional, so yeah. Recovery isn't an option.
Where do I go from here? What do I do? I've been here before and it's back to square one. Just when I think I've broken the cycle...fuck me sideways, here I am again, and again, and again...
I've never hated myself more than I do right now.

* Calves at widest : 14.75" left, 15" right
* Ankles : 9.25" each
* Biceps : 12" each so much flubbery
* Wrists: 6.5" each
Flair is accurate.
I honestly have no idea wha kind of measurements are attainable. I don't think I can take much more off my underbust, maybe down to 28" before you hit rib structure... also bras are already impossible at a 30DDD lmao, i can't imagine needing a 28 or 26 band. Lucky I bind most of the time I guess.
I can see my collar bones but that just really means not obese.
I.. wanted to hear what people think. How much inches need to come off etc lol.

Sorry in advance for formatting.. On mobile.
I've never posted here but I lurk constantly. I used to be VERY proed. But that was also a very rough time in my life. I have turned my life around and I've gained more weight than I'd like to admit in the process. A part of me doesn't care if I get fat bc I see all of these commercials saying "love your body" "men love curves" "be you" and I get hungry and I just don't care. What's one more day before I start dieting? But that one day had turned into months and there has been no progress. I know I need to start counting calories again and I know I need to start restricting again but I don't even know where to start anymore. I just quit my job and everything seems to be going downhill. I need to start restricting again. I feel like that's the only thing I can do right at this point but I don't know where to start and I'm afraid of what failing will do. Any advice or encouragement would me greatly appreciated.
Edit: I just want to add that I am not asking HOW to become ed.. I'm asking for encouragement and support! I don't want it to seem like I'm breaking rule #1!

Hello all! I realized last night that I hadn't measured my height in two years, so I thought I should give it another go just to see if anything had changed. Two years ago I was exactly 5'3", now I'm closer to 5'4" but not quite there. Maybe 5'3.8".
When doing BMI calculations, what should I put in as my height? The extra 0.8 inches makes a huge difference, 0.65 with the calculator we're using on this sub. Fortunately this calculator takes answers in fractions of inches, but a lot of other calculators don't. In that case, do I round up or down? I'm closer to 5'4", but rounding up feels like cheating.

I don't have scale right now and I can only weigh myself once in a while so I can't really track it. I also exercise at least 3 times a week and burn an extra 400 calories. I tried eating less than that but then I kept binging and messing up. I'm desperate to stop binging.

Hello, all. Lurked here on my main, and thought I would start to contribute around here. This just felt fitting to do first.
So, I've been up and down for years. Things feel more difficult these days because I have a one year old. I ballooned up to 188 lbs when I was pregnant. I think I had a lot of water weight, but it still wasn't pleasant. I'm at 126 right now, and have been around here for a couple months now. I'll get lower and then something happens, I binge. I hate myself. I just got done celebrating a ton of birthdays, including mine and my son's. So it's sucked with lots of cake (at 2 small slices over the course of 6 birthdays in like two weeks), stellar food, and awesome beer being around. I think beer is my biggest enemy in this.
Anyway. Enough. Hello, ladies and gents. And any other moms around? Especially youngish or with young kids?

I don't know what is going on with my last few weigh ins. I am so obsessed I cannot relax and think about anything but my weight and calories. I want to stop eating all together if I can't explain why my weight has fluctuated. I meticulously count calories and round up in case I had some sort of calculation error. That way my true count will be slightly lower. I know I haven't miscalculated because I have gone over this last weeks entries many times.
The only thing I can think of is that I drank beer during a celebration. I made sure to preplan and save almost all my calories for the day for the beer. Two days after I had my first spike in weight. I will not be having any more alcohol.
I weigh myself every morning after voiding at the same time before I consume any water. I do wear shorts and a tshirt because I weigh in the kitchen, not where I can get naked haha. Maybe I should start moving the scale? But that might seem suspicious, I'd rather try to avoid doing things to point out my weight loss.
Here are my calories and weights from July 17th till now. Please help me out if you can. I cannot function right now because I am so consumed by this.
*17th 116.0lbs/ 715cal
*18th 115.4lbs/ 900cal (beer drinking)
*19th 113.8lbs/ 634cal
*20th 114.6lbs/ 242cal
*21st 114.4lbs/ 761cal
*22nd 113.4lbs/ 670cal
*23rd 114.4/ 646cal
*24th 114.8/ 0 so far
Why?!? Why am I getting heavier?!? I told myself all day yesterday to relax and I would definitely see a lower number when I woke up today. But now I'm .2 heaver! I cannot deal with this.

First of all I want to apologize for any possible mistakes in grammar and such since English is not my native language. Additionally this post might be a little chaotic because my thoughts on this particular topic are a mess.
Here are my current stats:
Weight: 58.5 kg (~129 lbs)
Height: 165 cm (~5’ 5“)
BMI: 21.49 (Standard) | 21.75 (New)
Age: 25
Gender: male
Okay, here we go…
I have always been on the chubby side with my highest weight being 85 kg (~188 lbs) until I decided last year something has to change and I need to lose some weight.
So I changed my diet, ate with a caloric deficit and went running for 3 to 4 times a week.
I started my diet in August and reached 58 kg (~128 lbs) around end of December.
As my weight decreased and the distances I ran increased I was incredibly proud of myself and at this point I was already lost in the downward spiral of seeking lower and lower numbers but also I began to eat less and less. Compliments of my parents, family members, friends and coworkers made everything even worse because what I was doing felt right.
This is were the binges started and my weight fluctuated between 58 kg (~128 lbs) and 62 kg (~137 lbs) until now.
I even had to drop running because I just have not enough energy for it anymore.
As I’m writing this I haven’t eaten anything so far (it is already 5:50 pm) and I plan to not shove anything in my mouth for the rest of the day because I had a really bad binge 2 days ago and I’m still struggling with the effects. Before I binged I weighed around 57.5 kg (~127 lbs).
My current goal weight is 55 kg (~121 lbs) but I have already planned to go down to 50 kg (~110 lbs) or whatever it takes to get a flat stomach and thinner legs.
Well, let’s get back on track.
The reason why I’m writing this is the fact that I’m feeling really weird in my current situation.
In society eating disorders are always connected with girls at the age of 12 - 20. Maybe also female adults but even this is an exception.
I’m male and 25. This is weird. Am I just a weirdo and need to get my shit together?
Is it acceptable to be in this situation? I feel even weirder for posting on this subreddit…
I was lurking here for quite some time and now I gathered all my courage to write this down.
But to be honest I feel comfortably uncomfortable right now. And somewhat weird but at least I’m in control of my weight and it is decreasing. Slowly but steady.

This drug was a miracle for me before. Went from 160-140 in 2 months with very little effort by last October. Then lost another 10 on my own earlier this year and have kept it all off. But I'm pretty tall and my dr won't rx it anymore now that I'm in the "healthy" range. It gave me so much energy though that I want it not only for the weight loss, but for the extended energy I had during a very demanding, 60-70 hour a week job. I also have two little kids and don't see another way to make it through the next month without help!
So there are a couple of online sites but it's not cheap (~$70 for two months.) Can anyone recommend a site where I won't get ripped off and what I pay for will arrive as promised? I was thinking one where I used paypal, but 1. I don't have time to start a dispute w them if it doesn't go well and 2. Would paypal really honor an online dispute over foreign medications?
Thanks for all your help! Looking to get to 115-120 but have no time to exercise or put good thought into meal prep between work and kids!

I guess I can start with an introduction?
I was diagnosed with Anorexia and Bulimia Nervosa at 15 (two years of some damn good hiding.). . . but that was five years ago. After two inpatient treatments for recovery, I'm going through another relapse. I let myself go, guys. Big time. My weight hit its highest at 208, from epic binges.
I'm coming to you lovelies for support as I regain my control, and as I fix this mistake. I've been lurking here for a while, but refused to let myself post until I hit my next goal weight.
Down to 145 with a long ways to go, but I'm ready to step back into the community. . . can we offer one another our support?

I have very low blood pressure and heart rate (genetics) and restricting makes it worse. Today I was holding a cup of soup and suddenly just lost touch for a second...ended up dropping the soup all over myself, the counter, and the floor. Smelled like tomato for the rest of the day '-'. I wasn't tired per se, I've been sleeping quite well...it's happened a couple times since I started restricting again. Does anyone have some tips on how to deal with this, or minimize the chances of it occurring?

I've begun seeing a new person after having been in a long relationship for years. My ex knew about my ED and I stayed at pretty much the same weight the entire time we were dating (floating around 118). A previous ex did not know about my ED and I managed to maintain around 110 without suspicion, although the secrecy was not beneficial to the relationship. Should I tell him, and if I do, when? Should I not?
First goal weight is 112, then 108, then 102-104 for maintenance.
Thanks for the help. :)

* Steam-in-bag veggies.
* Hot sauce. Y'all already know.
* Pickles.
* Olives.
* Salt. Adds flavor to anything, I kill salt cravings with salt mixed in tap water, I know it sounds gross.
* Canned tuna. Pure protein.
* K-Cup unflavored coffee.
* Dunkin happy hour iced coffee. Take it black or get cream/flavoring within your goals, either way it's cheap caffeine in the afternoon and helps me get through my day whether I'm starving or not.
* Stevia
* Peanut butter (seems counterintuitive, but provides protein/fat to a diet that might lack them, and is rich enough to make you feel like you ate something bad)
* Unbuttered popcorn, premade and/or microwavable. If you are craving butter, melt a tablespoon and pur it directly on, you'll feel as if you're eating like a king while still eating fewer calories than the standard.
* Ramen broth without the noodles. Warm, flavored salt water.
* Brita water. Encourages you to drink more.
* Lunch meat (low-fat cuts). Free tupperware when you finish it. High protein, easy to divide bc it's sliced.
* Unflavored vodka. Has a higher ABV than flavored, just add stevia to flavor it!
* Seltzer water. For vodka drinks or otherwise.
* Fresh spinach/greens. Push yourself to live off of it before the expiration date.
* Whey protein. Makes you look "fitness conscious." Adds milkiness and flavor to black coffee and it's pure protein.
Remember, lunch while out people-watching can be a small price to pay from the things you learn looking at them.
And always liquor, never beer.
So I'm near blackout currently, so please add anything I'm forgetting!

> *Wintergirls* is a young adult novel by [Laurie Halse Anderson](http://madwomanintheforest.com/). It follows the story of Lia, an eighteen-year-old girl dealing with anorexia nervosa. The novel opens with the news that Lia's best friend of 10 years, Cassie, who was bulimic, has died, and the night she died, she tried to call Lia 33 times. The novel follows the course of Lia's struggles with anorexia, her difficult relationships with her parents and stepmother, and her search to learn about Cassie's fate.

This is a bit of a rant. If this isn't the place for it, I'll delete it.
I'm going to another state for the weekend to see some family. This state is unfortunately a 9 hour car ride away. My mother, bless her heart, has stocked up on lots of sugary, unhealthy snack food for the long ride. She also packed veggies, so I should be okay in avoiding the junk. Still, I'm a little worried about losing control.
Also, this trip will likely involve lots of drinking, which is another thing I have trouble saying no to. I'm worried about all the calories from the booze, as well as the tendency to eat when I'm drunk. I had a bad binge (the worst in months) last weekend because of drinking, and I really don't want to repeat that.
Is there any way for me to drink without exceeding my daily calorie limit? Hopefully if I can at least do that, I'll be able to avoid eating too much. Ugh. I just lost a pound, I don't want to gain it baaack.

I went on a 4-day vacation with my family. Because they're already suspicious, I made myself eat 'normally'. 'Normal' apparently includes eating twice your TDEE because "calories don't count on vacation!!"... I felt sick the whole time.
So now I weight 99.2lbs, putting my at a BMI of 18. I also gained 1/2 an inch on my waist, which is now 23 inches, and 1/4 inch on my thigh, which is now 18.5 inches. Over 4 days, I overate by a total of 3133 calories. Almost a full pound of pure fat.
I'm going on ANOTHER vacation with my even-more-suspicious mother in just 10 days. I'm putting my calories max at 800 and going low-carb and extra-low sodium to get rid of water weight. Goodbye peanut butter sandwiches, hello gallons of black coffee!

There are so many things I think that I can't talk about with "normal" people. Like how I was thinking if the car wrecked and I was mangled, no one would be able to tell if I was a couple pounds too fat or not.
I turn down so many social opportunities with friends because I'm stressing about meals and how to get out of them. It sucks, but I won't stop. It wouldn't be worth it.
I don't wear my "cute" clothes when I feel fat, because I don't deserve to wear them until I actually look good.
Comments meant innocently can stick in my head forever. When I was at my lowest weight, my SO said to me, "makes you never want to weigh more than this ever again, huh." Yes, of course. And now I feel that I've failed because I'm not at that point right now.
When I went to the bars for the first time on my 21st birthday, I ended up getting drunk and throwing up. I kept repeating over and over "It's okay! I'm used to it, I have an eating disorder! I have an eating disorder!" Luckily no one ever said anything about it, but I still cringe when I think about that.
I don't want to be just average.
What intrusive thoughts do you have throughout the day?

One of the major ways I convince myself to binge is if I have the chance to eat food that I'll never get to eat again - like if my friend baked cup cakes and I know I won't get a chance to have them again, I'll convince myself to have one.
I realized now that I'm not missing out on anything because the purpose of these foods was to be pleasurable to eat, and if I hate myself after eating these foods, then it defeats the purpose of eating them in the first place. My friend who made the cup cakes did not intend for me to eat her cup cakes and cry about it after, so why should I?

I'm not under 100, I'm not underweight, I'm not "about this life" by any means. My life is regret after dinner, why couldn't I stay under?
You know what I mean. Maybe I'm just disturbed, god knows, whatever, but I try my best to live a normal life and every time I mess up. I cut, I binge+purge, I get too drunk and say things I shouldn't, I give up on goals for school and stuff.
Any tips for fitting alcohol into your calories? This isn't a case of "drink vodka waters instead of beers or mixed drinks at the bar" because I drink alone. I mean how can I avoid physical illness from too little food/too much drinking?

I still live at home while going to university, and my family eats dinner together. Not being in control of what I can eat for dinner is triggering my binges, and I don't know what to do. I can't make dinner, as I'm usually the last one to get home in the evening.

I printed off my favorite thinspo pictures, and placed them in my fridge and every cabinet with food, with multiple pictures in my problem areas. :P That way I'll actually have to move them to get to the food, so maybe that will shame me out of it. Wish me luck! :)

My parents have been told by the ED specialist lady that I need to be eating 1400 for the next couple of days, then work my way up to 2000 by increasing by 200 each couple of days. By this time next week I'll be eating 2000 calories a day, if all goes to their plan. She told them to be firm with me and serve my food so I can't pick and choose the lowest calorie stuff, and basically they decide what I have.
(Also, I weighed more at her office so it looked like I was barely fucking underweight and I felt like such a failure)
I really don't want this. She says she plans to get me up to 3000 a day to regain my weight and my menstruation and all that stuff. I can't do that; I can barely even do 1400. Today was my first official day of "recovery" and I'm juuuust getting 1300 with forcing myself to have something because I know I should (ie pre and post workout foods); I can't fucking imagine doing over twice this much every single day .
I don't know what to do. I want to restrict so badly but I also want to enjoy life and food and be happy and healthy again. I'm so confused and scared right now.
But anyways, how can I restrict without my parents noticing? Or should I recover for a couple weeks then slowly sneak back into restricting?

1) Walking my dogs. Easy, fun way to burn off between 100 and 300 calories (depends how far/fast/where I walk them - there are some hilly places, sandy places, or easier woods and fields around here). This removes any guilt I may feel for...
2) Bananas, blueberries, raspberries. I have one of these three for breakfast every other day or so. Bananas are, as everyone knows, a good source of potassium, and also fairly filling. Blueberries and raspberries are EXCELLENT for keeping me, uh, regular, as well as being filling and kinda sugary. Sugary sounds bad - but I have type one diabetes and I need a bit of carbs and sugar so I can inject my insulin and keep going.
3) Tomato juice. Best. Thing. Ever. I like to have a glass of it in the evening with some black pepper and cayenne pepper mixed in (I like spice!). I buy the kind with lemon juice and salt added (you could add salt if you feel you're not getting enough sodium and iodine). Loads of vitamin C which helps me absorb the iron from my iron tablets, and only 27 kcal for a serving! The juice is already thick by itself, but I like to add between a tsp and a tblspn of psyllium husks to mine as well (up to about 51 kcal) which really bulks it out (and helps with digestion). I then eat it slowly with a spoon rather than drinking it and it's just delicious and brilliant and I love it.
What are some of your favourite things?

What is the best low cal food to have there that isn't a salad or something "half"? Or is there any way to get around eating? I can't just say "I'm eating at home", because we're going to be out all day.

First of all, I honestly swear to never do this again! Usually, I am very self-controlled, but yesterday. Ugh... I ate a cup of ice cream, a bag of cookies, two chocolate bars and all that bad stuff we had left at home. Worst thing about it: I couldn't even pruge! My mother came home.
But when I stepped on the scale today it showed that I had somehow lost 1 pound. By doing nothing but eating and watching TV all day! How is this possible?
I'm confused.

Not sure how I feel about it😕 I used to easily be able to fast for 2 days when I was younger and now I gave up after 24 hours and binged(600 calories) on cereal and peanut butter on bread. I'm glad I actually fasted because now I know where I'm at willpower wise and even with the binge I still ate less than I used to, but I'm just feeling down because I'm so much worse than I used to be in regards to both weight and self control.
Oh well, what's done is done.

So I've been doing incredibly well hiding my restrictions from roommates and my S/O mostly because I work so much. The other night I was drunk and totally let slip to my boyfriend that I've been restricting most days and that that day my only calories came from alcohol.....he seemed incredibly non-judgmental at first but is now making comments like "you need to eat something!" Or "is that all you're eating?" It's difficult to only eat around him but I'm trying...I'm afraid if I lose anymore weight he will become concerned and it will be a stress.....he is very understanding about the stresses of body image but I don't want him to think I'm wasting away or that it's affecting any other facet of my life (stress, sleep, mood, etc)....any advice on how to explain my choices?

I've seen a bit of discussion about favorite tea, and I thought we should make a post to share all of ours.
*Green tea: My favorites are sencha and bancha
*Matcha (green tea powder) I get the brand maeda-en, in universal quality.
*Genmai-cha from Takaokaya. My absolute FAVORITE tea! It has an amazing taste and makes me feel more full than plain green tea.
*Nittoh Royal milk tea (WARNING: contains 60 calories) This is my treat that I have on occasion.
*Twinings Lady grey. This is a black tea that tastes sweeter than an Earl grey naturally.

Hi r/proED, I'm Finn and I need to rant in a place people might actually understand me. I'm sorry if this post offends anyone. If it does, please tell me so I can remove it.
I do not know what to do, I need change. I need it really bad but I can't seem to achieve it.
I have been anorexic since I was 12. I'm 18 now and after therapy and a lot of trouble with my parents, I have resorted to binge eating.
At my lowest weight I only had 46kg at a size of 174cm. Due to bingeing, eating the wrong foods and gaining water weight from birth control, I think I weigh something around 60 to 65 kg now.
I don't know how much exactly I weigh, because I'm too scared to step on the scale. Might als well be 70 kg, I wouldn't know.
I feel so hopeless about myself. I just eat and eat and eat. It never stops.
Whenever I try to eat healthy I end up eating nothing at all and feeling guilty for anorexic behavior which leads to bingeing again.
This is the first time, I'm telling someone about this. I've gotten very lonely because of my problems. I can't tell my family, they would try to "repair" me, leading to a feeling of guilt in me because I can't live up to their standards. I can't tell my significant other, because he would be worried and sorry about not being able to save me, causing me to feel guilty because of making him feel bad.
It's now gotten to the point where I think about being dead daily. It would just be so nice to just die.
I know I have to get up and to motivate myself, to eat right again and to gain control of myself back. But it seems I can't. I can't even motivate myself to get up and clean my room or talk to people. How am I supposed to actually do sports and watch what I eat?
This is the story of my "recovery". It's the story your therapist doesn't tell you when talking about recovery.
Please help me. Any advice on how to motivate myself again and how to pull myself out of this deep hole is needed so much!

Look, I don't have an ED. But I've been working toward ED for about 3 years and this is going to be a lifelong journey for me. Like body modification, or being a bodybuilder.
But, does anyone here ever look at recovery pictures and look at the before pictures for thinspo? Or does anyone hear about people having had Ana or Mia in high school and use that as a source of aspiration that you could become?
I start dreaming when I hear somebody had gotten so sick in high school that they had osteoporosis. I know this sounds wrong. It's also the youth that makes me envious. Since I am 30+ I just want to return to a youth stage where anything is possible. But I have never heard of anyone at my age who has recovered without becoming overweight.
I'll never be able to afford an expensive gym membership or those nice clen shots. Actually if I do get a real ED, I'll never afford to recover because my health insurance rate would skyrocket and they'll repossess my stuff to pay for it.
I get the green-eyed monster when I hear that someone started dieting, and 5 months later they got so dangerously thin that they passed out and had to be hospitalized.

I'm 5'7" and I was 121.8 pounds on June 25th. Weighed myself today and I weigh 120.4. I eat 500-700 calories a day and my macros every day is 50% protein and 25-35% for both carbs and fat. I do heavy workouts twice a week (I'm training for tough mudder and the rock climbing competition season) and I work in a kitchen four days a week, each shift being 3-6 hours long.
I thought that I was supposed to be dropping weight like crazy eating the way I do. [This](http://imgur.com/ViEa2dg) says that in 3 weeks I should have lost 4 pounds. Anyone know what's going on?

My willpower is specific. If I am not around food, or if there is not food in my vicinity, I am very diligent about not eating/eating little. For example, I've been living on my own for two months, and I only buy food that is absolutely necessary, no more. It has been working very well, and I've been able to get to my lowest weight in the last 3 years.
I have enough willpower to not buy a bag of chips or popcorn, because I know that I can't seem to just have a cup or a handful--if it is in the house it is difficult for me to stop.
If I have a craving and I don't have any food in my kitchen, it is much easier to convince myself not to go to the grocery store or bakery and eat. However, I will be going back home for a month this summer, and my parents keep a very full pantry and fridge. We even have a fridge and a pantry in the basement. My family has healthy eating habits, my mom makes healthy dinners and our house doesn't have "junk food" like Doritos and Twinkies or even soda. But there is definitely a couple of ice cream pints in the freezer, a bag of pretzels or tortilla chips in the pantry, and boxes of cereal. Having the food accessible to me is very difficult. I'll find myself standing at the pantry or freezer saying I'll only have a pretzel or a spoonful of ice cream, and suddenly I've eaten half of it. Same goes for being at parties or events with platters of food. I can't seem to stop myself.
I've tried staying in my bedroom or going on really long walks, but my mom has noticed and gotten upset with me for being so reclusive and not spending time with the family. It's just so difficult because someone is always eating...my sister making breakfast, my dad having some hummus and pretzels, my mom eating yogurt, and it is so hard for me to resist eating, especially because they notice that I've started eating a lot less than I used to. How do you deal with being surrounded by food? Pressure from your family? I'm just scared about losing all of my progress thanks to my shitty willpower around food.

I have ballet tonight, so I pretty much have to eat something before or i'll risk fainting or just not being able to focus, it's my friend's birthday tomorrow and we're all going shopping (and probably eating...) and sleeping over, which i'm sure will consist of lots of snacking and me being pushed into eating :/ Wednesday I'm staying at my dads house, and he always makes sure I eat a lot. Thursday is ballet again, and I'm staying at my dad's house all weekend too :| This is probably why I never lose weight, I never have a day where I can just skulk around and not eat anything at all.

I've been lurking for a few weeks, but I just made an account. I've gained a lot of weight in the past few years due to depression and I've decided it's time to make a change. I've never been happy with my weight, which, at the moment, is 185 lbs. 185 lbs, I could live with that if I was a boy who was well over 6 feet, but I'm not, I'm 5 foot 10 which puts me in the overweight category. I've been really self conscious about my weight since I was 13, but I never made a serious effort to change it and now at 17, I'm officially overweight. I'm ashamed to be seen in a bikini, in shorts, in tight shirts, and to be honest, I get embarrassed the moment I step outside and someone lays eyes on me. So, that's why I'm here, to make a change, starting now I'm on a water fast that I won't break until Tuesday morning. I'll keep you guys posted. Well that's about it, I just wanted to stop by and introduce myself, so, hi, I'm Kitty, wish me luck and thanks!

I dunno, just need to vent a little, you guys are always so supportive, it feels safe here! I'm fluctuating between 96 and 97 lately, which is great! But I don't SEE it. I am also in the midst of changing around antidepressants and anti anxiety meds and have been feeling really suicidal lately. And it got me to thinking ....I just may keep going until my heart gives out. Keep losing, keep getting tinier until ....cardiac arrest. Slitting my wrists would never work - too much scar tissue, if I take a bunch of pills there's a chance I'd survive. But I think just maybe, a heart attack would do me in and then it wouldn't even really be like suicide. At least, my family could tell themselves that. .....sorry, I don't want to bring anyone down but.....I just wanna get these thoughts out of me....you know? ?

My mom is sending me to a horse riding camp (funny, I can't ride -.-) and I have no idea how I will Keep track of my weight, calorie intake and all that. We will have three meals everyday which is already pure horror for me. I already have kind of a plan, but I'm really afraid it won't work out and I'll end up gaining weight again... So, here's what I'm gonna do:
1. I'm not gonna take money with me, so I won't buy any unnecessary food.
2. I'll only eat Little of what they have there (I'll just skip the soup and Dessert at lunch).
3. I'm gonna hang around with some people and try to move as much as possible. The place has trampolines, playgrounds (you're never too old for that, right?), a soccer field and many other ways to move around.
So, I guess we'll have about 3 hours of free time everyday and 1 hour of riding. If I eat a tiny bowl of cornflakes without milk in the morning, salad for lunch and nothing for dinner, does that work out?

Hello all! Remember me, the girl who went off to Europe with an honor band for three weeks? I just got home yesterday!
I decided to change my approach to dieting over the course of the trip. The changes I made aren't permanent, but for the three weeks, I decided I'd disobey old rules and make some new ones to follow instead. This allowed me to be more flexible and social with my eating.
During the trip, I was doing tons of walking every day. Some days were travel days in between countries, where I'd sit on a bus and do nothing. Other days were spent walking, climbing, hiking, running, swimming, you name it. Any opportunity to exercise, I took it, be it climbing the Eiffel Tower, playing sharks and minnows in the hotel pool with friends, or walking around cities for miles and miles (I think my peak was 10, usually more around 4 a day).
I was a lot more active on this trip than usual, so I managed to justify my second rule change. For three weeks, I didn't count calories. I figured my TDEE was a lot larger with all the exercise, plus keeping track would just be a pain with unreliable WiFi. I hardly watched what I ate, I just avoided binges and allowed myself to experience it all, fattening foods included (in small amounts, of course).
I ended up losing about two pounds or so over the course of the three weeks, I'm at 116 from 118. It's hard to say how much of that is just water weight being shifted around, but I'm confident I made some actual progress as well.
This community sure has grown a lot since I left. It's good to be back!

I am over it. I keep overeating. Today was bad-2400 calories. NEVER AGAIN.
From here on out:
1. no more than 2 days worth of food in the apartment
2. 1000 cals until I hit my goal of 100.
3. I need to stop the cardio. I do a lot of it and I think it's making me eat more.
This will happen...

* If at any point you feel exhausted or sick, try to take some electrolyte supplements. I usually buy the ones from EmergenC. It has potassium, magnesium, etc. and makes your water fizzy and lemony! No calories because you're just consuming salts (no macromolecules). Electrolytes always make me feel better when I'm "off."
* You probably know this already, but keep yourself occupied! Reading is my favorite thing to do while fasting. Piano is another one.
* Seltzer water is awesome! Have that during your fast whenever you feel the hunger pangs, because the fizziness makes them go away.
* This one is bad, and I don't suggest it if you already don't smoke, but pick up those $8 disposable vape-cigs from Walmart. They have different flavors like cherry, vanilla, etc. And taste amazing! You don't have to inhale (especially if you don't wanna get lightheaded). Just puff so that the flavor gets to your tongue and satisfies your sweets craving or chocolate craving or whatever.
* Remember not to dwell on temptation. It's okay to crave things, but once you get that intrusive thought, acknowledge it and then distract yourself from it. The longer you let the thought linger the stronger the urge becomes.

Today was kind of NSV day for me, and also one that made me realise a lot of things. After having my safe food lunch, I was asked out by some girlfriends for a coffee date, no biggie.
Except that when I only had coffee, one of them said, aren't you gonna get something? I know it sounds rude, but the fact is pre-ED, I was notorious for loving food and eating tonnes of it. Tl;dr, I ordered something, ate it, felt triggered to binge (outside food scares me) and didn't binge.
Believe me, after going home I was sitting in my room with a Quest bar in my hand. Sitting there. Holding up an unopened Quest bar like it's Harry Potter's goddamn wand smh I looked like a goddamn idiot.
Anyway, did not eat it, and did not binge! Definitely a high cal day, but no binges! :D
So back to EDs and social life:
1. How many of you out there hate having your friends know that you're restricting? Maybe it's just my history of being the naturally skinny one, but I absolutely *hate* being perceived as being on a diet. Any mention of why I'm not eating, and I feel the need to impulsively over eat to show them that I'm a big eater who stays small. Stupid, I know.
2. Does anyone hide their ED habits by only eating "rabbit food" when they're alone? Like, you'd rather be not seen eating than to be caught eating carrots and celery and have people call you out on it.
3. Anyone here manages to keep up and extremely social life without raising any eyebrows? A single night out at the bar destroys the normal calorie limit for a normal person, what more an ED one. And that's partying. Even simple dinners to catch up make me feel like doubling my run distance just to make up for it.
4. Does anyone else have any issues with anxiety, OCD, depression, mood etc?
5. Only a few close friends and my boyfriend know that I have BED. Have you guys told anyone about it?
Sorry if this took so long. Being social is so important yet so tricky, because it keeps me away from bingeing (in a sense, I never binge in public), and it's so closely tied to EDs. Any thoughts or experiences welcome!
I am so happy!

I guess it's intermittent fasting. I eat 90% of my cals in the first four hours of the day. Then I do plenty of cardio.
I might eat something like 50 cal around 3, then don't eat till the next day.

I love a man I haven't seen in ~10 years and I'm obsessed with staying thin for him.
We keep in touch every 6 months or so. He was always fit. One time he told me I would look great at 110lbs. He mentioned this in passing and as a joke but it's stuck with me all these years.
I love him but it won't work out, yet it feels like he has influenced my life this entire time. I have it stuck in my head if I get back to that weight he joked about things will work and I'll be happy.
I don't know what to do here. I'm at a complete loss.

Happy Friday everyone (or Saturday to some of you)!
Just got back from grocery shopping and was curious as to if any of you have any specific things you do when you buy food (assuming you do your own grocery shopping).
Sometimes I get very anxious trying to buy food but other times it's pretty fun and I love seeing what other people have in their carts/baskets. I also have a rule that if I can't fit all my groceries in a basket I can carry, I can't buy them.
Today I bought Brussels sprouts, asparagus, celery, green beans, sprouted grain bread, eggs, canned tuna, tofu baloney, and cottage cheese.

Hey guys, I know this might not be the best choice of topic, but I was just wondering if any of you are in the same boat as me... I've never had a regular period, and I lose it really easily. Two years ago when I first started restricting, I lost it for 1.5 years even though my BMI never got below 17; I didn't get it back until my BMI was 20! Has this happened to anyone/do you worry too much about it? My mom makes a huge deal out of everything and screamed at me today saying **"YOU LOST YOUR PERIOD AGAIN WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO? DO YOU WANT TO DIE?"** and I'm so fucking tired of it

So, for my job I constantly need to be alert and running around. Fasting is incredibly difficult. My coworkers are always bringing in food and snacks to share, and that's always a pain in my ass. I just find it hard to fast while I'm at work. Anyone have this problem? I can't fast on my days off since I'm either with someone or with family, and it's the only days I have time to work out. How do you keep yourself from feeling tired? I've tried coffee without food, and it just makes me very shaky, and with my job there's no way I can afford to be shaky. I feel doomed.

I've been on the ProED side for awhile but I haven't made much progress. I'm nowhere *near* the the weight needed to be diagnosed with an ED. I look at your flairs and you all seem so *tiny* compared to me.
I'm sorry if I did something wrong here. I just don't see anywhere safe for fat proEDs, ya know?

Here she is on the last day of her fast:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxX76bwgc08
She claims to have done it for religious reasons, and I don't really have any opinion or thought on that, but what's always fascinated me was her strong sense of willpower. I've always used her videos as inspiration for a longterm fast some day. She made it. The whole "if you go without food for too long you'll die!" thing only applies to very very thin people. As long as you have fat on your body, you can fast until it runs out.

Hey everyone,
It's been a really shitty week, and I'm feeling sort of suicidal, but I don't think I'm going to do it. I always feel suicidal, so it's not like it matters nor is it like I really matter. I've just done a lot more binging this week than usual, and just a lot of unintended comments and comparing myself to people who are way skinnier. It's unfair that I write this here when everyone is so nice, but I'm selfish. I don't know, I really truly hate myself a lot. It's not just being fat but also being incompetent and being a shitty person and all. Anyway, I'm just ranting. Thanks for reading.

Recently I have noticed that I talk too much about weight loss and food in front of my friends. I really don't want them to think that I have an ED, but weight related comments just flow out of my mouth without even thinking beforehand. I also comment and judge other peoples appearances and I feel very bad about that. Yesterday I probably commented something weight related about 4-5 times in a period of 2 hours, and I also talk about body goals in front of my friends and unintentionally make them feel bad because they are slightly overweight themselves. Help!! I don't want to hurt anyone anymore.

Hi everyone, I don't know if this is really the place for this, but I'm really excited and I can't tell anyone else in my life about it because they'll think I'm crazy. I just started dating this guy a couple of weeks ago and things are going really well. I noticed he was really skinny right away, obviously, but the more I've been hanging out with him the more we talk about food and I realize he basically never eats. We've had several conversations about how neither of us really "like" to eat and he told me his lowest weight from a couple of years ago, which gave him a BMI of around 17 (I calculated it later.) He's definitely skinner than me - we're about the same height and he weighs ~15 lbs less than me. I tried on his pants and they fit, but barely. I want to lose those 15 lbs as quickly as possible so I can wear his pants and look super cute in them.
I guess I'm just really excited because I know he's never going to pressure me to eat! He's also like a close IRL thinspo I get to look at naked all the time and someone I can actually hang out with all day and not feel pressured to eat. I'm sure you guys know that when you spend all day hanging out with most people they want you to eat several meals with them. I'm just happy about it and I can't wait to be one of those couples you see together who are super skinny and dressed in black and drinking lots of coffee.
Anyway, I guess I just want to hear your own personal stories about S/Os who share your eating habits and what you think about it.
[Discussion] Fasted for the first time in 3 years and remembered why I loved it so much

There was a point in my life when I fasted 3 days a week, sometimes 4 (just water) and it was *easy* for me. I was so light and oddly energetic, I had mental clarity, I felt productive, etc. It was the best! It wasn't even an ana thing, I just believed in intermittent fasting.
And then the binges happened.
So I fasted more.
And the binges became worse as a result.
Then the fasting stopped.
And the weight gain started.
Looking back, I did enjoy fasting. What destroyed me was the obsession with food as a result of fasting so often. I forgot that the point of fasting wasn't so that I could binge, it was for my health and happiness.
I'm ready to try this again. I'll start slow, with fasting once a week. I will not associate it with food or diet, but instead with productivity and energy. This is the way my mindset was when I started. Fasting shouldn't be difficult, it should be exciting :)

I am guessing that some of you have experienced this too.
I weigh myself on my electronic scales, on my mechanical scales, at the gym, on the machine at the pharmacy etc etc etc
And I still feel that these numbers can't be trusted. That they are saying less than the truth (ie, I weigh more than they say).
This is probably related to body dysmorphia, but I am wondering how others deal with it. Stick to one scale? Average across many?
And on a side note, how can I change my flair on mobile...?

Hey guys, last night I got into a huge fight with this girl I've been dating for a few months. The fight was about food/ purging / everything. The thing that is worse than the fight itself is that I don't have anyone I can talk to about the fight, hence this post.
As I said in my first post on this sub, my ED was really severe for a long time a couple years ago. For the past 2 years I've been in full recovery mode. This all started again basically because my best friend lost 50ish pounds (now at 160lbs at 5'9") and looks amazing while our other friend has gained at least 80 lbs in the last year. Watching them go in two such different extremes really triggered me. I hate the word triggered, btw.
Anyway, the point is that before when I was really sick it was common knowledge with my friend group and it was even talked about frequently. And now that I'm restricting again I don't want everyone to start being concerned that I'm sick again, because I'm not. I have everything under control but there's no way any of them will really understand that and I hate outright lying to them.
Sorry for the tangent, I guess I'm basically asking for some advice on how I should deal with all of this. I want my friends to celebrate with me as I lose weight, but I don't want them to worry about me like they did before.

So, I started weighing myself in the evening and I noticed that I don't really get to see results in comparison to what I weighed in the morning (even worse, it's much more most of the time!). But when I weigh myself the next morning, I notice that I lose up to 4lbs during sleep (I sleep 10-12h normally). How does this work? Is this actual fat or something else?
Edit; Can I rely on this to lose weight? Because in theory: Doesn't this mean I can lose weight when I just sleep much and watch out not to eat too much?

Hi!
It's morning where I am, and even though I've got a full day of work and some wandering to do later, I'm gonna fast today.
It's been months and months since I attempted any fasting... but I'm starting to put on a little weight again and I'm not happy about it...
Usually I take a lot of unsweetened green tea on fasting days. I might start with some black coffee today though...
If anyone else is fasting today I'd love some company :D or some advice on how I can keep my energy up.
Here are my stats:
Male
Age: 31
Height: 5'7"
CW: 215
HW: 235 (ugh)

wish me luck!

Just read about Terri Schiavo, a woman who was kept brain dead on life support for 15+ years, and found that she became paralyzed after a massive heart attack which was attributed to a potassium deficiency caused by extreme dieting/bulimia. I'm not mia but occasionally I give in to intense hunger and as a result may have to purge.
Just a tip, those fizzy drink vitamin packets are 25 calories and contain a lot of potassium, magnesium, vitamin c and other essentials. Also tablets are good but they irritate the stomach if empty. If you're going to stick to a VLCD, be safe about it ;D

I have 4 weeks until sorority rush. Current stats: 5'6, 140-145 pounds. Some muscle from weightlifting but I don't look athletic, it's under all my fat. Pear shaped, 34B-29-40. Short legs and long blonde hair.
How much weight can I lose in a little over a month, and how can I do it?
I currently live in an apartment so I do my own shopping, right now I have frozen broccoli, green beans, and peas, frozen breaded chicken fillets, spinach, salad dressing, spaghetti, tomato sauce, peanut butter, oreos, and pickles. I'd been eating around 1400 as a normal diet but I literally see no progress. How low can I cut my calories without feeling ill, and still being able to attend classes and work out?
My workout routine has been slacking over the past couple of weeks, but I usually hit the weights 4-5 days a week (bro split: legs; triceps and chest; back and butt; shoulders and biceps; abs. Sometimes I skip a day and push everything back a day) with a little cardio after, 2-3 runs (2-3 miles), and dance 2-3 nights a week. Can I improve on this, or otherwise vary it?
Any other tips? Thanks babes.

The 14th just arrived for me, so I'm going to go ahead and start a food diary thread for today. I'm planning out my meals for today. I am 'not' going to let my dad put cream on my porridge, which he did yesterday. I'll get up early and make the porridge myself, or, at least tell him, no cream! Anyhow:
Breakfast: Oat So Simple - 180
Lunch: n/a
Dinner: Sauerkraut and mushroom dumplings - the packet says 170 for a quarter package, but I expect my dad will split the whole thing between us. 340
That leaves me at 537 for the day. Far from ideal, but an improvement.

When restricting. Does it matter WHAT i eat? So long as its under my calorie limit. Im all fine and dandy most days to stick to veggies and water and coffee but every now and then i crave certain foods so i measure out how much i can have and just eat that for the day. Ive been fasting 2 to 3 days a week and restricting down to 800 the other days.

I am 21 years old and attending university. Usually when at school, I have to eat more than I would like because I am with friends, my boyfriend, etc, but I am still able to manage eating pretty little without interference.
The last 2 months I have been interning in a city by myself, and have finally been able to eat as little as I want without interference, and have been able to drop a good amount of weight.
Here's the problem: I will be spending the last month of the summer at home with my family, and also going to a family wedding for a week. Therefore, I will be with my family every day of the month, and I know that they will be watching what I eat. My family is pretty healthy, but they have expressed concerns about me not eating much because of my weight loss. I've chalked it up to wanting to be healthier, but I know they will be pressuring me to eat.
How do I keep losing weight while I'm with them for the month? We eat dinner as a family together every night, and I know they will get suspicious. I've been restricting to about 300 cals a day with an hour of walking and ab exercises, and I know that won't be sustainable with my family around. How do I not gain all of the weight back? Purging is not an option. I'm terrified I'll lose all of my progress.

Hey everyone! So I've been lurking here for a while now and never really had the occasion to post but now I do, so here goes. Sorry if I do anything incorrectly.
I'm just wondering if you think fasting helps you lose (if you do it say once a week or after a binge). I binged yesterday and I can't decide if I want to go upstairs and eat a little bit before I work out and end my day (it's almost 7pm here and I haven't eaten yet) or if I should take some sleeping pills now and just sleep until tomorrow. I'm just wondering if you guys think fasting is a good idea or if it ultimately makes you eat more in the long run?
(And one more side question, if I drink tea from a powder like trader joes chai does that break a fast or does that not count? one serving is 170 cals.)

It was also easy to keep up with my goals when I post what I eat everyday, knowing that people would read. Would it be against the rules to start doing something like this?

Had a small binge today, and I'm really fed up with trying to let myself eat intuitively. My BED is very control-related and I really want to get back on top of things. I've never fasted before, given my history of bingeing, but I finally feel ready to liquid fast for a whole day.
I will not be consuming any solid food, only black coffee )with a splash of unsweetened almond milk), diet soda, ice water and teas. If anyone is up for it, just PM me!

When I look in the mirror or put my hands on my body, I feel relatively small. I mean, I'm not completely satisfied and I see myself as a work in progress, but overall I'm happy with how I look. (I only want to get down to a BMI around 18.5.) But when I see myself in photos I always look HORRIBLE—very thick/stocky. I know they say that the camera adds 10 pounds and that short people don't photograph well, but it's starting to really mess with my head. I know it's common for people with EDs to see themselves as larger than they actually are, but now I'm starting to wonder if I'm seeing myself smaller than I actually am. Or is it just the camera?
Does anyone else have this issue?

on the one hand, it might be triggering to watch, but on the other hand, i wonder if it could be used in place of binging. i watched one in awe last night and it was almost disgusting to me how much food she polished in one sitting, especially because the point is to eat the food loudly. next time i want to binge i wonder if it would be better to watch someone else eat thousands of calories instead of doing it myself, haha. what do you think?

Have any of you supplemented before a blood test so that way your doctor doesn't suspect that you're not eating enough? If so, with what and for how long?

I binge-restrict, so here's my guide to binge recovery and some tips to avoid binging at gatherings and parties.
1. Fasting one day won't make you skinny, so binging one day won't make you fat. Fasting one week will make you skinnier, so binging one week will make you fatter.
2. If you binge, you MUST eat lower calories for four days after. Always follow some version of this rule because some time in your life, you might want to binge, and then binge again the next day, and then that will become BED. By promising to restrict for at least four days, you can somewhat avoid that. Make this rule habit every time you binge. Don't ever binge consecutively.
3. If you're emotionally unprepared to see yourself 4-8 lb heavier, then don't weigh yourself for four days after a binge. That is around the time it should take for binge food to pass your system and to get rid of water weight.
4. If you don't purge, then don't start. Purging will get rid of the guilt quickly, and it'll become your excuse to binge later. You will end up binging more. The only time I let myself purge is if circumstances forced me to eat, but I was in control of my body.
5. The day after a binge, don't eat carbs, drink water like a fish, and exercise more. Your body should have a ton of energy for it, so you will usually find yourself exercising with ease.
6. If you binged early in the morning, you can still "save the day" if you drop everything and exercise. This might be hard to do, but it will make you stop the binge right there. Exercising, like sleeping, "resets" the day.
7. If you're at a place with a lot of food choices, don't look. You'll get fixated on the food. Once you get the item in your head, it's not going to leave. So look up quickly to see where you're going and look down. Also, don't look at the people eating around you. You can't crave what you don't know. Also, maybe try holding your breath or not breathing through your nose though it might look weird.
8. At a gathering, hold a drink in your hands because if you're holding a drink, you can't really hold a plate too.
9. Don't underestimate how well black coffee kills appetite.
10. This might not work for you, but if you go up to a friend and talk about whatever you crave, it makes you crave it less because now if you eat it, you know your friend will be judging you.
There are certain ED behaviors that are actually really weird to other people and a giveaway to people familiar with EDs. Here are some to keep in mind.
- Don't touch your collarbone. Some people with EDs constantly run their fingers over their collarbones/ribs/hips. It's weird to others, don't do it.
- Don't comment on other people's food. Like don't even mention it. Don't be like, "that has a lot of antioxidants but high sodium".
- Don't get caught doing the fake-eat trick. That trick is to have a piece of food on your fork, talk and gesture with the fork while the food is on it. When they look away, swap the pieces of food quickly. This is a great fake eat trick, but it looks super weird if you're caught doing it.
- Don't keep talking about food. Seriously, don't. It seems normal because people do talk about food, but ED people are known to talk about it obsessively.
- If it's VERY obvious that you've lost weight, it's more normal to say "thanks" to comments on weight loss than to deny it. Unless your BMI is under 16, you should say thanks. You don't say thanks, however, if people sound concerned. But don't deny it or act oblivious. Say you started eating more protein and therefore lost weight. That's my absolute favorite because it makes you look like you don't know about weight loss but can still be a legitimate reason for losing weight.
Okay, that's all I can think of right now. I'll add more later.

I've basically maintained. Fuck, is my BMR under 1000 or something? I throw out so much food over the weeks.. I guess desk jobs make you fat lol.
it doesn't help that I feel sick. As hell. There was a work event yesterday that was catered and me being the binge eating fatass pig I am I had plenty... then got sick without purging. So that was fun.
It was also more carbs in a 8 hour period than I normally eat in a week.
I'm getting the distinct feeling that grain are toxic. All grain. Wheat, rice, corn, rye etc. All of it. I'm sick of consuming poison, there's enough that's gluten free but they just Fucking Replace It.
I don't know where to start beyond the obvious. But maybe the obvious is all that's needed.

should i? **Post your experiences for diet pills**
**TL;DR: gonna stop taking so many diet pills at once and rely on raw will-power to get weight down again.**
a fortnight ago i was puking rainbows because of a stomach bug. i'm sort of okay now.
my bf took me off all of my diet pills (i was taking maximum dosage for six different kinds of really powerful stuff) as per the nurse's advice (nurse said i was 'petite'! small win!) and i've since then not been puking.
ever since having been off the diet pills, i have been eating normally, and even eating carbs! as it's easy to keep down for a weak stomach. i gained SO MUCH WEIGHT :( 5 KILOS!
OBVIOUSLY that's terrible news.
i'm going to restrict honestly because bf has thrown out all the pills he thought were suspicious of unsettling my stomach. so i want to take this chance to not rely on the pills... well maybe just some of them... maybe just the two kinds that weren't thrown out...
that said, DAE feel like diet pills only work when they weren't quite underweight? like the closer i am to my goal the less effective they are?

Hi, short-term lurker here. First self post, yay ..!
I was just hoping to get some help in the form of support. I hate my breasts. I am a genderqueer/fluid individual with fairly large breasts. I hate that they droop my body. (Even at my LW of 105, they were still rather large and in charge, hah. Smaller, yes. But still a damn burden.)
I just know I would have the smoother, leaner look I like on myself if I could completely remove them or go to a AA cup size.
Does anyone else feel this way about their breasts? Has anyone explored reduction/removal? If so, could you please share your experience(s)?
Thanks in advance. I'm happy to be participating in the community I've been lurking in.

...look into eversmoke.com. I got a starter kit for around $60 (two atomizers, a charger, and 5 flavor cartridges). I chose them because they offer a classic tobacco flavor with no nicotine, while most only offer fruity flavors with no nicotine. right now, they have a starter kit with one atomizer for 15.99.
I'm not at all trying to advertise; I just know that I'm a former smoker who has replaced cigarettes with food, and this has helped me. so if you've thought about picking up smoking again or you want to quit but don't want to get fat, I think this is worth the investment.
on the cheaper end, the mark 10 ecig is available at most gas stations and walmart, about $10 for the starter kit and $7 for refills.

This is my first time posting here. All through highschool i managed to keep my weight undercontrol with me being 5'5'' and 115 ish lbs. Then i went to college and blew up to 165 in just one year. Once summer came back around i knew i had to get back to it. With slow progress im down to 154 currently. But what shocked me was that once i started dropping weight i started getting strech marks. I now have them on my stomah and on my thighs. Ive never had them before and i dont understand why theyre here now especialy since i LOST 11lbs. Also i think im at a playeu. I havent lost any weight in about 2 weeks :/ even though ive restricted down to 800 calories a day.

I don't know about you ladies and gentlemen, but when I restrict pretty heavily, I have difficulty trying to "make". This is what I do to get a jump start!
I know everyone is different, but this works like a charm for me every time. I nibble throughout the day and I'm very calorie conscious. I'll make sure to have 1 cup of raw kale by the end of the day. Watch out though, and log everything --shout out to MFP!-- because it does add up! One cup of raw kale is about 40 calories. I NEVER cook it, because many recipes call for oil. I also make sure to have no more than half a cup of raw blueberries by the end of day. I try not to eat this all in one sitting and I nibble throughout the day, but I am very strict on portion control.
If I've done everything right, this should total about 80-90 calories. And the next morning, I'll be regular and feel so much better! Sometimes seeing that little extra weight fall off just really gets me through the rest of the day. Anyone else have low cal tips for staying regular?
Also, quick low calorie foods that are a part of my regular diet:
Mix these together for a big 45 calorie meal:
-Hebrew National 97% Fat Free, 45 calories a dog
-House Foods Zero Calorie Shirataki noodles
Spread these over each other for 45 calorie breakfast:
-Walden Farms Zero Calorie peanut butter
-Sara Lee Delightful 45 Calorie Multi grain bread
Hope this helps someone!
EDIT: Also, watch your carbs on that bread! One slice a day should be under your threshold, but it can catch you off guard if you're not careful!

I've been doing so well the past couple of weeks with restricting to under 800 calories a day and purging on the couple of days I've gone over. I finally started seeing results and lost around 2.5 pounds but last night I messed up big time and ate an entire order of Panago cheese bread to myself. Pizza is definitely my weakness. I didn't want to purge and figured it wouldn't hurt my progress too badly with one serious binge in two weeks but this morning when I weighed myself I'd gained a pound and today I feel bloated and sluggish and awful. It just sucks so much and I could use some support :(

I'm in the process of switching meds and in the tapering stage now, which means that I'm tired, achey, and getting miserably depressed at the end of the day. it's making it hard to see the progress I'm making in terms of habits and lifestyle, and hard to appreciate them when I do. but then I looked at the wiki, used the bmr calculator and losertown links, and I'm feeling much better and more motivated :) .
so thanks to the mods and everyone else in this sub!

So...I logged into FB today and an old photo from my past popped up. Three years ago, me in a strapless dress at a cocktail evening. I was stunned at how skinny I was. And it made me hate my current self all the more.
I was naturally skinny, really. Back then I was what, 90 lbs, 5' 3"? I didn't even know my weight. Restriction? Ha. Exercise? Ha ha ha ha. Of course, I was full of pure fatlogic. "Naturally skinny" "skinny genes" "fast metabolism" lololol pls. Calories in calories out, now I've learned. But how was I so thin back then despite the shitty lifestyle?
It's because I wasn't obsessed with food, I realised. Sure, I ate McDonalds for lunch and a sandwich for dinner. Maybe once in a week, maybe once in never. I dunno. Sometimes I skipped meals because I genuinely wasn't hungry. Like, you could put pizza in front of me and I'd be all, meh.
All this to say, I was skinny without trying because I wasn't obsessed with calories. I was busy living life, doing things I loved. Meals were something that I fit into my schedule, not the other way round. Too busy to have lunch? Fuck lunch! Christ, I used to binge on TV shows instead of chocolate. Ahhh those were the days.
In short, if you're wondering how 'naturally thin' girls got that way, well, now you know. That's my story, at least. Now I'm more inspired than ever to fill up my free time with nonsense again. Movies, books, writing, art, running, reddit...I swear I'm gonna stop eating out of boredom already.
tl,dr: stay busy, do what you love, eat healthy - weight will come off and STAY off.

---
So I'm on vacation with my family for 10 days. Before this vacation I was able to make my eating habits look normal/healthy in front of my parents because they work 9 to 5 and I could manage to have a 'decent' looking meal for dinner in my calorie limit (300-500) eating mostly vegetables (they know that 'I am trying to be healthier' and are fine with that). But now that I'm with them 24/7 they are starting to notice my disordered habits. I also don't feel like eating at all these days and have drastically lowered my intake after having a 2000+ binge the first day we arrived. What I eat is raw vegetables like cucumbers and peppers, fruit and dried fruit for sugar cravings, occasionally some cheese to look 'normal' but in super small amounts. I feel full and energized, but my mother got super mad yesterday and is offering food like every hour and getting all ranty If I refuse. She knows that I am eating healthy, but she's also trying to make me eat bread, pasta and other carbs saying that I am probably not eating enough vitamins. (haha)
So my question is how to make my meals 'normal' looking while having my every bite monitored? Any good low calorie meals? Or ways to distract them from my eating? (As it's starting to be the main discussion between us) I also only have a stove for cooking. Help very much appreciated, thank you!

##Flair Update
Firstly, the NSV flair has been renamed to "Goal". The purpose remains the same, this flair is to be used on reaching both scale and non-scale goals. We just figured renaming it would be clearer.
Secondly, we're thinking of changing the 'thinspo' flair. Many of our users have different definitions of thinspo:
* Some like photos of those who are "skinny fit", or "fitspo", where the model's BMI is usually above 18.5, but has lots of lean muscle mass, which makes them seem thinner.
* Others prefer radical thinspo, where the models usually have a BMI under 14, and very visible skeletal structure.
* Some are even alright with normal models, who are in poses that just make them look thinner.
Should we create a method of differentiation between the ranges of what is considered thinspo? We have a couple of ideas, including adding a [thinspo type](http://i.imgur.com/x4fT0oo.png), or[ including BMI estimates onto the flair](http://i.imgur.com/jRJBo07.png?1). Which do you guys prefer? Do you have any other suggestions?
Thirdly, we're thinking of merging the "Help" and "CCW" flair. They're very similar in nature. Is there any opposition in doing so?

It's come to a lot of users' attention that there's a new algorithm for BMI ( a couple of threads [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/proED/comments/3cl4yl/height_adjusted_bmi_calculators/) and [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/proED/comments/3azycb/new_bmi_formula/)). [The Adjusted BMI.](https://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/trefethen/bmi_calc.html) It's great for shorter folks who are wondering why they don't look like other people of the same BMI, and gives them their 'actual' BMI, so they know how much to lose to look closer to what they want to. Also for those who are taller, wondering why their BMI seems a bit higher than it should.
In the name of fairness, we'd like to enforce the use of **one** BMI algorithm. However, we want to know which one you, the users, prefer.
Be it the [classic formula](http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm), or the [adjusted formula](https://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/trefethen/bmi_calc.html).

Hi. Lurker here.
I've been doing 49-55 mins of treadmill everyday for the last nine days or so and swimming before that. I hurt my upper thigh tonight and it's painful to walk. So I guess I'll be forced to take a rest day tomorrow if it doesn't let up.
So, do I need to eat less if I do have to take a rest day?

Hi ProED! I'm falling in love with this subreddit. I just posted yesterday, so I apologize for posting so soon again. If it's an issue I will delete my post. I've just been having a very difficult time lately and have no one to confide in.
But I digress. As the title says, I really haven't lost weight in about a year. For a while, I was losing pretty quickly, but I seem to have plateaud. And I feel like I don't eat a lot on a daily basis. Maybe around 600 calories, sometimes less. Sometimes I go over that on weekends. I also tend to drink on weekends (life post-grad is not easy). I try to exerise 3 to 5 times a week.
Am I eating too much? Is my body in "starvation mode" or whatever? My BMR is in the 1000's, and I'm eating way less than that. It's all very frustrating! I just want to be skinny!
Thanks for letting me rant, haha. If anyone out there is looking for someone to talk to, I'm more than open. I have no one to talk to about ED stuff.

So this is particularly relevant for me, but I'm curious as to what people think.
The general concept is that height plays a greater role in determining BMI, and that the current formula does not represent this.

***
At 170 pounds and 6'6", with the standard BMI calculator, my BMI is at 19.6, well into the healthy range.
For most people, it probably won't be nearly as drastic of a difference, and for people between 6'2" and 5'4" ish, there should be none, or nearly none.

With the adjusted BMI calculator, it's 18.0, in the underweight category.

Not only is asparagus delicious, low-cal (27 calories in 1 cup), and packed with fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, it's also a natural diuretic, which will help get rid of water weight.
For me personally, the effect is very strong—stronger than caffeine (which I don't tolerate well). I've been feeling very bloated because of my period the last few days, but I had a bunch of asparagus last night and have been peeing like a racehorse all day and already feel much less bloated.
Only downside is stinky, stinky pee :(

We were talking about frozen yoghurt, and even though I'm underweight, I'm considered normalish because I'm part Asian so it looks typical on me. However, I use to be on the high end of normal, so I obviously lost weight.
She supports me losing weight probably because she has weight problems too. But she was like, "yesterday, I got frozen yoghurt at ". And I was like, "Oh, doesn't that have a lot of sugar", and she was like, "hehe yeah". I didn't want to seem obsessive with the sugar comment, so I was like, "Yeah, but frozen yoghurt is okay once a week". And she's like "Heheh, once a week is too much for *you*. You have no self control, but you're better now".
I mean, I'm not sure whether to feel insulted or not. But I basically spent all morning trying to figure out what she meant by that.

I was browsing this sub in bed the other day and he caught a glimpse of it. He asked me what "proED" meant. I was so embarrassed and I told him, but in a tone that played it off like I stumbled across it by accident.
He laughed and was like "What? Do they try to give each other EDs or something?" I was so angry when I heard him say that, but I had to pretend like I wasn't because I didn't want him to know the truth. He lives with me, and he knows my eating habits. He has no idea about my restricting. He thinks it's normal.
He probably just thinks I'm a whale. Because I am.

Hi guys, been lurking for a couple months now, I feel at home whenever I visit this sub. Figured it was finally time for me to say Hi and ask advice. I’ve been 130 pounds for years and years. It’s just where my body wants to be at I guess. I’m a vegan, I exercise pretty regularly and have always had a flat stomach. I drink a ton of water every day, I guess whole wheat bread is my biggest vice. I don't eat pasta though, just brown rice. I’ve never been a junk food eater or binger, but I am a purger. I have never used laxatives or anything like that, but for years now I’ve purged several meals a week. I just can’t help myself. It’s not a calorie thing, it’s hating having a full stomach, the fear of my stomach stretching. But it’s not like it makes me smaller. If it was going to make any difference, it would have by now. So I'm trying to stop, and succeeding so far. My waist is at 27’’ (26 in the morning), and always has been. But this past month I’ve been keeping to small portions and keeping down my dinners. The reason why I’m posting on here is because I just want to know why I am not thinner. I see much skinnier girls eating/drinking things I never would, and it makes me so frustrated. I only ever drink water, tea, or black coffee. I desperately want to get down to at least 120 to start, which seems so achievable looking at all of your stats. I’ve been obsessing(privately) about it for so so long, wanting to reach 120. On average I eat about 1000 calories a day, but for a couple weeks now I’ve been trying to keep it down to a 500-700 NET, and have only purged a couple times in the past 30 days or so, which I’m so happy about. I would love input on what you would do if you were me, to get down to 120. I used to only work out 3-4 times a week, but since I started going down to 600-700 cals a day I’ve also been doing 45 mins to 90 mins of cardio every day, really trying to do this once and for all. In the past I’ve let myself be naughty about one day a month and have a night out and have a few drinks and eat something bad, but other than that I usually have pretty good self control with food. Except obviously it’s really, really hard to restrict. The reason why I haven’t truly done that yet is because I wanted get your input first. I’m afraid of doing that and torturing myself all just to have missed one important aspect and it doesn’t make a difference at all, and I put myself through it for nothing. Should I stay the course or start restricting?

One of the things that triggers a binge for me is when I impulsively mess up. Today, I was out with friends, and I started eating French fries since everyone else was and I felt so weird not doing it. I just impulsively ate it. Once I started, I couldn't stop. I ate maybe 200 calories worth.
I planned to go home and binge then purge. I easily could have because no one was home. But on the way home, I told myself this thing that someone else on reddit told me which was that if you drop one egg and it breaks, you don't throw the other 11 on the floor. And thinking about that and how I'd feel in 20 minutes if I binge made me reconsider doing it. Also, calculating that I was still at a deficit, albeit a small one, made me want to save myself from letting go completely.
Anyway, today was a really bad day for me, but I'm glad that I managed to stop, and I hope I can keep doing this for future mess ups.

I want support. I use myfitnesspal everyday, to log every gram of everything that goes in my body. My diary is open. I would like to make friends with a similar mindset for support. In college I was 103, after my first year of teaching i'm 155. I can't live like this.

I'm not sure if this has been asked before since I'm new, but.. One of my biggest problems is I get suckered into eating more than I should to be polite. Like yesterday I ate my entire entrée at an Italian restaurant because I felt bad my boyfriend's grandparents were paying for it. Just saying you don't feel well won't work all the time, so I was wondering what you guys did to make it through these situations where it feels like you have to take on all the extra calories for the sake of the feelings of others. :/

I've been lurking on this sub for a long time, and a few things have happened recently that have prompted me to finally post. let me know if I should be posting to a different sub; I don't want to intrude on a safe space.
anyway, until around 4 years ago, i used to weigh between 98 and 107 lbs, depending on my activity level (minus an unfortunate 4 years in college, when I was taking a medication that made me crave sugar and I went all the way up to 127). i would not say that i had an eating disorder, but I definitely had disordered habits (restricting, occasionally binging and purging). 4 years ago, I had my son, moved out of state, and became a stay-at-home mom. my post-partum depression was really bad, and all of these changes only made it worse. I struggled to lose the baby weight, and finally got back down to 103 about a year ago, and was planning to lose more when I finally decided to get medicated for my depression.
I've gotten fat, as you can see from my flair, in a pretty short amount of time. my doc and I are working on adjusting/changing my meds to find something that works for me, mostly because, while I don’t want to die all the time anymore, I don't have much motivation to do anything else either. I've been sort of blaming my weight gain on this lack of motivation and sort of waiting out this adjustment period, but just recently I got a wake up call: none of my clothes fit. even the stuff that I could still squeeze into a few months after my son was born. I had to go out and buy new clothes.
I'm over it. I told my husband not to even offer to buy me wine, because I eat when I drink. so for the past few days, I've been sober (I was having at least two drinks almost every night, which is a whole 'nother story) and trying to practice mindful eating. it's only been a few days, but it's made me very aware of my compulsive tendencies: i skin-pick, I bite my nails, and I think I've developed binge eating disorder over the past few years. back when I was skinny, I was super-active thanks to my job, and tended to binge a few times a week at night, which wasn't a problem because of all the exercise i got at work. it's different now; I've been beating myself up over not being able to restrict the way I used to, and I've realized that, actually, I do. during the day. now, I've been getting drunk to absolve myself of guilt for binging, and waiting for people to go to bed at night in order to binge. like, actively planning and looking forward to doing it. I thought that my desire to overeat would stop if I just didn't drink, but it didnt. I'm finding that the alcohol was just an enabling factor aiding what has become a real compulsion.
tl;dr: basically, I've been sitting around going, "waahh, I'm fat because of my meds! I'm fat because I eat when I drink!", but I think it's more than that. I'm pretty sure I have BED, and I want it to stop.
I have managed to stop binging at night for the last few days thanks to mindfulness, and I'm restricting during the day and tracking my activity and calories again. I guess the long and short of it is, I hope I can be accepted here, because I need support to keep myself from going HAM (literally and figuratively) at night. I want to be 98 lbs again; I'd love to go lower, but at this point, even my current gw seems impossible.
if you made it through all that, then: hi!

I have this issue where I pick and nibble all day on little things. Usually I do this at breakfast time, and then again a bit after dinner. I don't always pay attention to what I'm eating, so the calories could very well add up. When I do this, it's always on fairly healthy foods like raisins, popcorn, or whole grain cereal. But like I said, I don't measure it out and probably end up eating more than I realize.
Could this be a reason why I haven't lost much weight in over a year? I don't really eat big meals, but I graze a lot. Maybe too much.

This is more of a rant that looking for actual advice but I've been feeling horribly guilty about my habits because I know how much it worries my boyfriend. He's truly amazing and we've been together for several years now. The other day he mentioned that the number one thing he worries about in our relationship is my body image problems.
I've been hiding my laxative use/fasting from him and I just feel so so so guilty. He deserves my honesty in this situation because I know it impacts both of us when I'm crabby and tired and can't bear the thought of cooking or eating out. Our relationship is really important to me and I feel like shit for hiding things from him. I'm therapy again but I feel like an imposter because I know I don't want it to work and I'm not ready to recover.
I don't know, the guilt is just killing me right now.

Having binged yesterday and the day before, today has been going great and I feel shitloads better. I mean, I still look like I belong on Teen Mom, but I have faith that the bloat will go away in time.
We've all been there. We've made this promise to ourself before, a thousand times already, that it'll never happen again. And sometimes it works. Days, weeks, months. Everything's good...until a binge strikes again. One square of 90% dark chocolate evolves into finishing three bags of family sized Snicker minis and two bagels. Eating until breathing becomes laborious.
Cue extreme self hatred and loathing. Knowing the calories will settle as fat. Half a pound of fat, 3500 calories - that's probably an inch around a waist, at the very least.
But hey, we all fall down. Learning to get up and walk despite the pain is the true challenge. The day after a binge is just as fragile as the moment during the heat of it, but taking the first step is the hardest part, and once you're up, it's a lot easier to get walking. I'm looking forward to going back to my usual diet - clean, healthy calories. Falling off the bandwagon isn't the end of my journey - giving up is.
Just a small shoutout to anyone out there feeling crappy and demoralised. Don't give up! We're all in the same boat over here.

I put out quite a bit of body heat. Generally speaking I'll be warm to the touch for most people, though I start feeling cold relatively quickly outside when it's cold and such.
One time I was hella worried while taking a test. After we were done, the guy next to me said he could feel the waves of body heat coming off me.
Normally though, I'll go from feeling hot to cold relatively rapidly, and vice versa, though normally I'll cold more often then most people. Higher temperature tolerance I guess.
Anyone else observed anything similar?

There seems to be two methods of timing when it comes to exercising:
1. Exercise while hungry/almost-hungry because it will make your body use fat since it is out of glycogen.
2. Exercise a few hours after eating because your body will have more energy to exercise thus yielding better performance and ultimately more calories burned.
Which method do you do?
I always figured method 2 is better from a calories in vs calories out view. Assuming you eat the same amount of calories regardless of when you exercise, method 2 would burn more calories making a larger deficit than method 1.
Method 1, however, does make sense, but I hear there is a limit to how much fat can be converted to energy, and then the rest will be muscle.
I personally prefer to exercise 2-3 hours after lunch or an hour before dinner. I find that exercising lowers my appetite for about an hour after I'm done, so I'll eat less for dinner if I exercised directly before.
Your opinions/views, and when do you exercise?

I had to move recently..and somehow with this I threw out all my good habits and I have gained weight..10 pounds.. I feel huge and horrible. Before I was maintaining a weight of 108 lbs and I felt so so wonderful and light. What have you guys done when you just get into a rut and cannot stop eating horrible things?
I feel like I have failed myself every day for three weeks now, I cannot go on like this. :(
The worst part is I have a bunch of candy I can't throw out (was sent to me from far away by my mother) and I just need to learn how to control myself.

I've been lurking for a while and created this account for use here. I want to say hello. I have had endos my whole life and now as an adult, I'm going to have control over my eating habits. I always felt guilty for eating anything but also guilty to not eat and upset my parents who worked hard for the food to feed me. I've suffered with this and it was agonizing. I always finished my plate as I was taught and then would sit in my room and cry about how much I hated myself and how I could never look like anyone beautiful.
This week was my first time grocery shopping and I picked up chicken breast and broccoli only. I felt empowered and I was very happy. I ate a 2 meals at around 200 cals each for the last couple days and I finally feel relaxed. It's a bit sad sitting alone with my cats but I finally don't have all the extra guilt from eating 3 square meals with the family.

I was trying on clothes in the children's section of H&M (the adult section jeans are always too long for me - I'm 5'0"), and I saw some very nice grey-black jeans. I found, however, that they only went up to 9-10 years. I'm 19. I was quite hyperactive on all the caffeine I'd had (three double espressos), so I thought it would be a good idea to head to the fitting room with them.
They fit. Perfectly. They fit me better than any jeans I've ever had. 60cm waist. 23.7". Probably not a big victory for most of you here, but it's fucking massive for me.

But the app keeps giving me the "you're not eating enough" message, and won't show my projected weight loss. Are there any similar apps that don't have that restriction?
[Help] Question about cramps when restricting

Hi! First of all I wanted to say how excited I am that I found this sub - I've been lurking for a month or so and already you guys have inspired me so much.
I started losing weight last December and Ive lost about 55 pounds so far but keep bouncing bAck up by ten or so every few months and then plateauing. I've tried to be more diligent about restricting pretty heavily, most days between 300-500 calories with moderate exercise and I've been seeing good results with intermittent fasting (14 pounds down since finding the sub!) but that is most likely water weight.
My question is regarding cramps. Does anyone else experience painful cramping (like period cramping) when restricting? I've been trying to drink lots of water and make sure I'm not just dehydrated but it's getting to the point where it's near constant around 3pm to when I go to bed. I've heard of losing your period when you get below a certain bmi (which I'm nowhere near yet) but this is weird. I'm just hoping someone has tips I can try!

Hey guys. For the past couple weeks I've been restricting to <800 net calories but my weight hasn't changed at all. The only exercise I've been subtracting is the stuff I don't include in my regular routine (ex. I hiked for 4 hours on Wednesday so I took that off because the hike was very strenuous but I don't ever take off my AM or PM exercises, as I do them daily).
I'm 5'2 and stuck around 121 lbs. Online calculators say my body fat is 20%.
I'm just not sure what I'm missing!

Has anyone here got any experience with protein shakes? As I'm normally sitting at about 1000 calories a day but my protein intake is awful, I mainly eat vegetarian as it suits me but I can't eat nuts and I don't enjoy cooking and eating chicken or fish.
Protein shakes seem like a really good idea but the only reviews I can find on them are for muscle building/bulking purposes rather than low calorie fat loss. What do you guys think? I'm really open to other ways of getting my protein up as well as at the moment it's all from eggs and veggies!

Hey all!
Stranded at home visiting my family for a few weeks (normally I live in an apartment across the country). Obviously it's great to see them but they know better than to keep a scale around me. So, with no way to measure my weight, I've had to rely on the whole "watch your body" method. Pretty hard for someone with an ED to do accurately.
And you know what? I can confidently say I've lost weight! Not sure how much, maybe only two pounds, maybe as much as five, but I actually feel proud and I don't have numbers swimming in my head. These shorts were my favorite to wear when I was at my lowest weight and they fit with room to spare.
I know I have a long way to go, but I can't wait to update my flair when I get a chance to measure up.
[Here's my current pics](http://imgur.com/a/MOs81), if ya wanna take a look.

I binged really badly. Maybe 3000-4000 calories. I don't even think my stomach is big enough hold all that. I keep feeling food rising, but I don't want to purge because if I do, I'll start the whole binge purge cycle again, and I can't do that.
It's like I can't breathe with the amount of food I've had, and my back hurts probably from supporting uneven weight from food. It's disgusting.
I've been in a binge exercise restrict cycle lately since shifting from binge purging. I want to just restrict and exercise. Honestly, binging is terrible. I don't just binge. I really binge.
If you're thinking of binging right now, trust me it's not worth it. I feel like I'm breathing but oxygen is not reaching my brain. It's really terrible. I've never binged this badly.
Tomorrow, I'm going to run in the morning for maybe 2-3 hours, then run again in the afternoon for another 2-3 hours.
Any suggestions for really bad binge recovery?

I deleted my old account because I was afraid of being caught here, but now that I'm more confident in my stealthy abilities, I'm back. The sub has grown massively since I was last here - I remember 20 subscribers when I was first here - so I hope I'm still welcome.

Hi again guys - I've been having trouble lately with low blood sugar. This is a new issue. I eat around 300-500 calories per day and by mid to late in the day I start getting nauseous. It's upsetting because no amount of water makes it better and eventually I end up eating (even though I'm never hungry) because being constantly on the verge of vomiting isn't a good feeling - especially when I'm at work or out doing errands. Eating fixes it but I don't want to rely on that. Does anyone else struggle with this - and does anyone have any solutions/tips?

I can't stand not seeing the number. :( I need to weigh myself somewhere at least every few days.

Hello! I just moved out on my own for the first time and I am learning how to cook. I usually just do one "big" meal at the end of the day with chicken or fish and some kind of vegetable. I noticed that even though I was tracking all my calories I've been developing a bit of a belly. I looked into MFP more closely and realized that I've been eating a disgusting amount of salt everyday (~4000 mg o_o). I think this must be the culprit because I've only gained about 1-2 lbs since moving out but my hips are disappearing!
I'm having some people over this weekend for a pool party and I cannot stand looking like this. Is a water fast the best way to get rid of this or are there any other teas/supplements I could take to help speed this along?

I'm a little bummed that the hip is still gapping, I'm not completely broken in so I'm hoping it goes down a bit more in the next week. It looks really awkward and obvious under any clothes that aren't 5 sizes too big (comfy, yes, but I look like a hobo).
Moving around has been getting a lot easier too, although it helps that I'm not lacing suuuuper tightly yet. Overall it's a ton of fun, I love how it makes me look (even with their weird hip thing)!
I'm always happy to answer any questions, although I'm definitely NOT an expert...yet c:

I'm just curious to find out how often you guys binge, what you tend to binge on (and how many calories), and how much it affects your weight.
For me, I seem to binge about once a week. It's usually sweets, and thankfully not usually more than about 400 extra calories. I feel horrible after binging, but usually my weight goes up by no more than 0.2 lbs (and sometimes it stays the same or even drops a little). Unless I eat something with a lot of sodium (which also usually ends up being way more calories too), in which case I end up retaining water for days and my weight can go up by as much as two pounds.
How about you guys?

First post. :) Anyway!
I was feeling anxious and my stomach felt upset (heat stroke!) so mum took my pulse which according to her was alarming. She asked if I stopped eating again. I told her I was a bit under weather (which I was, right) and I emphasized that by shoving half a blueberry muffin into my mouth (almost 200 calories! Horror!)
Of course, she doesn't believe me. I could live with that - lying, and hiding and everything. But now she wants me to be treated as an outpatient until college starts. This is too much.
I plan on eating "normally" for some time to get her off my back. But are there any other suggestions? I can't wait to get out of here in August!
Thanks guys. I love this sub! :)

My little sister is 9 right now, and I know she looks up to me. We were never that close. We didn't fight, but we didn't spend time together other than that we live together. She's been talking about weight a lot recently. She's not overweight at all. She's on the lower end of healthy. We were swimming, and she looked at her stomach and said, "I'm so fat," and I was like, "nooo, you're so skinny!" I'm worried that she'll start dieting and trying to lose weight. I don't want her to go through what I go through. I don't know what to do other than not be around her. I try not to talk about weight when she's around or engage in ED behavior.

I'm doing a short fast (about two or three days). I know it is very long, but it's mostly to get myself into it. Even when I heavily restrict, I've still never fasted. Anyway, it's really refreshing to feel clean and empty. I've been thinking about using some laxatives during the rest of the fast. I know it doesn't make you lose "real" weight, but I think it would be nice for cleanse purposes.
I don't think it would turn into long term use for purging and stuff. What do you guys think? Are there any real benefits or cons for short term use only (rather than long term purging)?

There is no better feeling for me than stepping on my scale and seeing a number less than the day before. When I see progress I get giddy and even more encouraged to continue on my pursuit to perfection. I think it’s become an obsession, but a fun one that feels like a game now.
I love making charts and graphs and spreadsheets of numbers: calories, weight, measurements, etc. Seeing all of those numbers and all of that progress only motivates me more and keeps me going.
The way I’ve begun to approach it is like this: every time I lose a pound, I level up! I play way too many video games and something cheesy like that is just enough to keep me motivated.
I’d like to know if anyone else loves this as much as I do; whether their best friend is their scale or they think charts and graphs of their calories, exercise, weight, etc. are some of the most beautiful things in the world.

So I was just curious about comments any of you get about your weight. I often get the "you need to eat a fuckin cheeseburger" or similar type comment from guys, but overall the females say, wow you look amazing! How about you guys and gals? Have you noticed any difference in the comments from either genders?

I do a 24-hour fast sometime during every week - I just drink water and I use water flavoring but sometimes when I start to get hungry I feel like a diet soda would hit the spot. I know that some people water fast for de-tox purposes so obviously they would consider that breaking their fast. Do any of you fast regularly and do you consider diet soda to be breaking it?
Edit: thanks for responses! :)

So, in case you couldn't figure it out from the title, I have big boobs for my size (130lbs, 32DD). I always have since I was about 12. I'm a pretty small statured person... I'm 5'3.75" on a good day. I've been eaten much smaller portions and really watching my intake using MFP, and I've noticed that I'm feeling skinnier in general. Clothes are fitting just a tad looser, so I definitely think I'm making progress. The problem is when I weigh myself. I've been trying not to for about a week now, because I get so stressed out when I don't see the dial change, but even if I look in the mirror and like the results, I just can't believe I actually weigh as much as I do. I don't even consider myself chubby.. just *thick* or something. And when I look at pictures of other girls with the same stats as me, they are much chubbier. So I'm thinking that I'm either holding onto a lot of water weight or it's that my breasts are so disproportionately large that my BMI isn't accurate. It calculates to 22.9, which pisses me off, because I want to be at the very low end of "healthy", and my boobs are huge for the rest of me. I'm a 32DD (good luck finding a bra that size, btw) and I want to know how heavy my boobs are so I can kind of reduce my weight by that much.
Does anyone else have this issue, and if so, what's the best way to work around it? Many people gauge me at around 120 pounds, and I'm always so ashamed and humiliated that I actually weigh 129-131. I don't know if it's my boobs throwing me off or if I'm actually just giving myself way too much credit, and I need to restrict my intake even more :(

Hi everyone! I'm heading to Europe with an honor band from my state very soon. There's a pre-tour camp for three days that starts tomorrow, then I have one day off, and then I'm out of the country for a whole three weeks. I have some control over my meals, one a day usually I can choose for myself, but the rest aren't up for discussion. I'm going to track my calorie intake as best as I can, but I don't know how much WiFi I'll have for MFP record keeping and r/proED.
See you all in (at most) three weeks! I can't wait to see how much progress you all will have made.

I've been bingeing practically non-stop for a month now. I have no classes and too much free time. Every day feels like it's the last straw and I'm finally going to break the cycle, but I never do: I'll drink water and log my calories and look at thinspo and take laxatives to feel weightless again (I actually need them and they help psychologically), and then I'll fall again. I don't know how many times I can pick myself up. I know I've given advice on how to prevent binging here, and I acknowledge the irony of it - "I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it". Nothing I do will help, and I'll reach for food as soon as I have the chance, even though I rarely enjoy it. My motivation dissipates as soon as my stomach feels slightly less full. I haven't felt clean for ages, just bloated, impure, monstrous. I know I have gained weight, but not how much (my scale broke and I can't buy a new one).
Tomorrow I'm leaving for a uni-related work camp, where I will have to work in a rather extreme environment, and instead of feeling energised I feel sluggish and slow because of all the food I've been eating lately. I tell myself I will fix this mess as soon as I come back, I will restrict and fast, but I can't believe my own words anymore.
I'm writing this because maybe (maybe) telling someone will make me think everything through again. Maybe the thought that someone else has read this will make me reconsider. I am ashamed of myself and my lack of self-control: consider this a public confession of sorts. Crying about it won't make things better, but I can't help it. I'm sorry.

I'm always feeling ashamed of myself. I feel like one of those "wanna-rexic" girls when I post here because my flair always reminds me that I'm not skinny. I ate 415 calories yesterday, 125 calories so far today, and lost two pounds since I last posted (although it's probably just water weight).
No one has ever been mean to me or given me a reason to not feel welcome. You guys have all been so nice even. But my weight makes me so self-conscious that I'm paranoid and always comparing myself to others.
You guys don't have to reply if you don't want. It's just nice to have a place to vent. And I know it's silly and that I shouldn't care what other people think, but I don't want you guys to think badly of me.
Edit: Thank you guys for your support. Everyone is all so nice here, I don't even know what to say. But it means so much to me. Shame is definitely a large part of it for me. It's mostly disappointment in myself. I want to love myself and learn self-control again. I used to restrict no problem all the time in high school. I gained all this weight through compulsive binge eating (lowest was 111 lb) and I want to feel like I'm in control of my own body again.

Hi all, this is my first time posting—I just subscribed here a couple days ago and it's nice to find a proED community again =) especially since after all these years I'm finally hitting my goals and shit, I've lost ~25 lbs since Christmas and it feels awesome!
Anyway, I was just curious if anyone else here is in my situation: I've had disordered eating of every type (numerous periods of heavy restricting, fasting, and/or bingeing) since middle school (now 26) and my husband also suffers from an eating disorder, most likely anorexia (he barely eats and I have my suspicions that he also purges from time to time). It's one of those things that you think would be a dream come true, but...I don't want him to have an ED. I want him to have a normal opinion of food and eating. It's not because I want to be the only one with a problem or anything like that, I just don't think he's healthy or healthy looking and I worry about him a lot.
The irony of this isn't lost on me, believe me. But yeah, I just wondered if there was anyone else out there who could relate.

So I’m the one who says her stepmother tries to sabotage my dieting ([link here](https://www.reddit.com/r/proED/comments/3ay3vl/my_stepmother_tries_to_sabotage_me/)). This weekend I went with her and my father on a camping trip and she won…
I had been doing so well the past few weeks: only eating 600 calories max but usually ending the day closer to 400-300. I had been losing 2 pounds a day and was within grasp of my current UGW of 100 lbs. I knew that being with her this weekend would be stressful, but I had no idea the hell that was going to erupt.
Let me begin by saying that my stepmother is an alcoholic. She’s been an alcoholic since my father married her when I was 8 years old and because of her affliction, she was (and to some degree still is) a child abuser. Apart from the occasional physical abuse, most of the abuse I suffered was psychological and verbal. She would spend every waking moment of every day letting me know that I was worthless, ugly, stupid, and not worth her or my father’s time or money. (Side note: I blame a lot of my body dysmorphic disorder on the abuse I suffered as a child).
Before we even began our weekend camping trip, she was already halfway into a bottle of 90 proof gin. Thankfully my father convinced her that she was not driving us, but her drinking didn’t stop there. She continued to hide a new bottle of gin and consume that through the rest of the evening and the next day.
When I’m stressed, I eat. I’m ashamed to say it, because it’s a disgusting habit that can lead to self-harm and self-hatred if I indulge in it. But I binged HARD these past two days. I don’t even know how much I ate, I just refused to count the calories, telling myself that I didn’t care if I got fat, because I didn’t deserve to be beautiful and skinny.
Now that I’m home I stepped on the scale and now weight 113.6 (up from my previous weight of 108.0; a weight gain of 5.6 lbs. in two days). I am so ashamed of myself and can’t even bear to look myself in the mirror. I intend to go on a three day water-fast to punish myself for being so short-sighted and letting my stepmother get the better of me again.
I would appreciate any tips or constructive comments about how I can curb my cravings when I’m around her drinking and reminders of the abuse. It’s so hard to tell myself that I’m beautiful when I’m around her; and my body suffers for it.

Very disappointed with my weight but now I can track it accurately, at least and it will help me get more motivated. Of course I weighed myself after drinking a bunch of water and eating salty foods, but I can now weigh myself first thing in the morning, after working out, and at the end of the day to track changes.
Also I solemnly swear off of alcohol for good, I probably had about 1000 calories yesterday just from that (if not more), it's no wonder I'm so huge. Just have to accept that I can't drink anymore if I want to really change my body for the better.
I'm excited though, now I can really start to work on progressing instead of just trying to guess if I'm losing weight or not based on how my clothes fit.

I use this stuff all the time when I want to lose water weight/curb my appetite/jumpstart real weight loss. I am fully aware that it does not make you lose actual fat, but I have lost 3-5 lbs of water weight in 2 days from it every time I've used it.
I'm going to be doing the "diet" for the next two days. A week ago I weighed in at my highest weight as an adult, 137.6. I was hoping to lose a full 2 lbs this week :( but today, I am 136.2. I am hoping to lose as much as possible by next week, when I have an important event. I want to make these next 7 days count!

So, I realize that water weight is a thing and that a lot of factors can cause you to gain or lose it. Just ate a lot of salt? Gonna gain water weight. Period coming? Probably going to retain some water. Just drank a lot of alcohol? Going to lose some water weight.
But at what point do you say "okay, this weight I lost [or gained] isn't water weight, it's actual body weight"? This seems like it'd be a real problem when you're only a couple pounds away from a goal weight, considering bodies will fluctuate up and down a bit because of water weight and other factors.

I'm transitioning back to college over the weekend for summer semester and will be living in an apartment with roommates. This means I can basically do what I want, within reason, and will be living off of groceries. Last year I was in a dorm and on a meal plan and while simply eating less was an option, you guys understand how it is with quirks and wanting certain foods.
Any tips? Any shopping lists, recommendations for good things to keep around, general lifestyle advice?

Now, onwards to my next mini-goal of 89, then 87, and finally my UGW of 79. I really hope my weight doesn't stall again for a few weeks; I'm convinced that underweight bodies do bizarre things that seem to break the laws of physics :p

A few years ago, I struggled with an ed and got down to a very low weight. Then I just stopped caring and really let myself go, and gained about 30 lbs in 2 months...since then my weight has basically been yoyo-ing, every time I tell myself I need to starve I end up losing a few pounds, but then I gain them right back after.
So a month ago I finally got sick of being fat and disgusting (was 5' 3 and 118 lbs) and started a diet. I told myself that this was here to last, and I've lost about 7 pounds so far. But I'm starting to lose control. It's been going so nicely but I'm starting to lose it. My goal weight is 105 lbs, I have only 6 more pounds to go, but I need help. This week I've binged four times, twice today alone. I keep telling myself to stop and not eat but I just can't. I don't know what's wrong with me or why I'm suddenly so mentally weak when it comes to food, but I just keep eating and eating and I can't seem to fucking stop. I'm tired of hating myself, I'm tired of being afraid. Would someone here be willing to help me stay on track? I don't have anyone by my side who I can talk to about this, but I'm afraid I will just sink deeper and deeper if I don't get help/encouragement.
I'm so sorry about the rant guys, but I just ate about 2000 calories' worth of chocolate and I want to die. I miss being able to see my bones. I miss size 0 clothes being too big for me. Fuck, I even miss my unsteady heartbeat. I just want to be skinny again.

I lost 45 pounds, binged back 23, now have re-lost 4.5 and am on my way down again. I'm eating a max of 500 cal/day, but aiming for lower (250-450). I'm 5'4, HW 165 lbs, LW 120 lbs, CW 139 lbs, GW 115, UGW 110.
I feel absolutely disgusting at this weight and am impatient to get it off me.
Also, if there's a group on the site, it would be worth it to get a premium membership for me. I prefer LoseIt to MFP because I can use my smartphone to scan barcodes and I find it overall more user-friendly.

Hey everyone. I just found this sub last night and I'm really excited about it, so i thought I'd stop and say hello.
A little about me:
I'm 21 (22 in August), female. 5'2 and currently 121 lbs.
hw: 127
Lw: 89
Ugw: 95
My disordered eating started around the age of 11 and during middle school I started purging regularly. By high school I was restricting heavily and purging every time I ate anything- even a stick of gum. After graduation, I met a really amazing girl who helped me get through everything and basically over the course of a couple years, I got up to a healthy weight and a healthy mentality.
She and I broke up about six months ago and maybe two or so months ago I looked in the mirror and was absolutely disgusted by what I had become.
I've been restricting and fasting since then, but I'm having a really difficult time getting the weight off. Last night I purged for the first time in years. I know it's bad, but it felt more amazing than words can express.
Anyway, sorry for the ramble, I'm just really excited to have found people who understand! And sorry for formatting, I am on mobile.

Hi. So if I had stumbled on this sub Reddit a year ago I’d probably have just moved on but recent event made me want to post.
I have been obese most my life (BMI 30+) and did not think much of it. 2 years ago I starting thinking I should do something about it but did not try hard. A year ago I started doing keto and it worked for a while but I found myself cheating more and more. I went from 280 to 250 and then up to 270. About 2 months ago I realized how much I slipped (20 lb. in 3 months) and decided to buckle down.
I realized I’m never going to not over eat during a day so I decided to put my target calories way lower then my TDEE so when I over eat I’m still at a calorie deficit. I now only eat 300 calories breakfast, skip lunch and do my best to have a dinner of about 700. I probably drink 50 oz of coffee a day between breakfast and dinner to keep me going. I also purged once in the last month after a dinner out and movie popcorn.
When I mentioned my new eating habits to my co worker she called me anorexic. I did not think much of it until I stumbled onto this sub a month ago. I don’t think I actually have anorexia but it did get me thinking about what I was willing to do to lose weight. How much did I want to compromise my overall health to be skinny, and how skinny do I want to be. I don’t really know the answers to those questions.
Thanks for reading. I don’t know what I wanted to get out of this post but I’m happy I typed it up.

I've felt so disgusting as a person for years. I've developed a lack of control so extreme that my doctor is considering to classify me as having a compulsive binge eating disorder. I hate looking in the mirror. I hate it when my boyfriend sees me naked. I hate it when he wraps his arms around my waste. I can't bear to wear a bathing suit. I haven't worn shorts in years. I love pale skin, but since I've gotten so gross my secret nickname for myself is "the white whale."
I used to love myself. I used to love my skin. I wore tight clothes and scoffed at people without control as good as mine. I loved that my boyfriend (at the time) couldn't keep his hands off me when he saw me in underwear and the way he'd put his hands on my waist. I loved my cheekbones. I was 5 foot 7 inches and 111 lbs. That's not the lowest BMI around, but god damn it I was proud.
Now I'm disgusting. In my second sophomore year at college I'm a BMI of 24.5. I've told myself for years that I'm going to change. God I miss the control and the discipline I used to have. I've been taking small steps. After reading posts here, I've been trying to log my binges into MFP religiously. Today I realized that I'm not drinking NEARLY enough water. But that's about all I've got.
But even just interacting with people here has started to help. Back in high school I used to have a friend I would fast with. Now I don't have anyone who will understand.
I'm sorry for rambling. You guys don't have to respond. It just feels amazing to get it all out. I'm sure you guys get a ton of these posts and moderators, feel free to delete it.
I want to change. I'm learning the tools. And I *will* make it stick this time.

MFP says that if I only have around 1100 calories per week, then I'll lose 2 lb every week. I have around 500 every day including exercising, 800 not including exercise, and I've only lost 1.5 lb so far this week and it's the 4th day. So most likely, by day 7, I'll lose 2 lb. How is it possible that I have 500 every day and lose 2 lb and MFP says I can have 1100 every day and also lose 2 lb? Anyone else ever have this problem?

i'm on mobile so i can't flair, but this would be a discussion, i think.
i've recently started using laxatives, not super regularly, but only when it seems necessary. for example, last night i binged on some ice cream with my little brother, and felt awful about it, but the laxatives definitely helped.
however, i've heard that there can be pretty serious health risks involved, and that they aren't always effective.
so, what do you lovelies think? i'd just like to know what i'm getting into.

I feel like I've been posting a lot here this week, but I just need to rant/rave about something that happened to me. Bear with me.
Last night I was with a friend (one of my most unhealthy who ALWAYS pressures me to eat) and after eating 700 calories all week I binged and had three huge slices of cheese pizza and three large ciders.
My body immediately went into a freak-out mode - it was, like, 9 PM and I just fell asleep on his couch. We were watching a movie and the overload of calories and grease and cheese (I eat Paleo, so the gluten and dairy took quite a toll) just absolutely knocked me out. When I woke up I made an excuse to leave and came home in tears to chug Slim Tea.
When I woke up this morning, I panicked. It all came back to me in a rush that I messed up majorly the night before. I knew girls in inpatient who would rather overdose on pills than pizza and I couldn't help but feel like a failure. The Slim Tea pushed some of it through my body, but we all know laxatives aren't miracle workers.
I avoided the scale for an hour. I got dressed, sipped coffee, rehydrated myself. I felt my stomach rumble and was surprised at the amount of energy I had. Still unsure if it's the calories or the anxiety.
And then, I said "fuck it" and stood on the scale in my clothes and a semi-full belly. And you know what? I weighed the EXACT SAME. After eating something I was forcibly intolerant to and going way over my maintenance calories as well, I stood at exactly 121.6 lbs - a number I had never been happy to see until now.
I don't know what to make of all of this. I'm thanking my stars that this hasn't sent me into a tailspin because I would have been bummed out for days, but I'm also in a better place because I actually have energy to go run for the first time in half a week. Maybe this awful bump was the roadblock I needed, or maybe I measured myself wrong the day before, but who cares.
We've been talking a lot about plateaus lately on this subreddit and maybe the trick really is to bump your caloric intake up - not like I did, but you get the picture. It goes against everything I've learned these past 7 years but it also makes me feel even more in control, and that's the feeling I long for as much as hitting my goal weight.
Be patient, give yourself some healthy energy, trick your metabolism, and then get back in control. It's your body and does what you ask it to. I'm done negotiating with myself. I'm not going to reach for that pizza but I am going to be smarter about my plateaus and reasonable about my needs. I'm three pounds away from being underweight. I can do this.
Okay. Rant done. Time to hit the gym.

I've been sat on a plateau for absolutely ages now, finally starting to see some movement on the scales, but very slow!
I remember when I was 14, I could easily drop 14lbs a month, now at 24 I can barely manage 5lbs. And with progress so slow, it's impossible for me to see any difference in my body. I know it is changing from the way clothes fit,etc, but it would be nice if I could see it myself!!
Anyway, just having a disheartening day, so if anyone has any ideas how to keep me positive, or would just like to commiserate with me about how crappy losing weight is as an adult, feel free :P

How do you deal with family and pressure to eat? My parents are already watchful of me due to issues with depression and anxiety. They would be very suspicious and concerned if I refused food, said I was on a diet or trying to lose weight, only ate low calories foods, etc. I usually have breakfast and lunch alone, so I eat around 150 calories for breakfast and nothing for lunch. This way, I can save the majority of my calorie intake for dinner with my family. Dinner is typically more than 500 calories and leaves me feeling disgusting, even though it's usually pretty "healthy." I hate consuming so much at once and so late in the evening, but I don't know what to do about it.
TL;DR: Any advice or tips for dealing with family and avoiding seeming like I'm restricting or trying to lose weight would be very appreciated.

[Today I finally got my first corset!](http://imgur.com/a/7VTET) I've decided to [sporadically] document my experience with it here for anyone who's considering corseting, and also to show it off because I'm keeping it a secret IRL c:
I decided to start corseting because I'm naturally just not as curvy as I'd like to be, no matter how much weight I lose. Also, pressure therapy has worked really well for my anxiety in the past (weighted blankets, cuddling, even being in tight spaces) so the tightness of a corset might be helpful too.
My natural waist right now is 22.5", and my corset is 18". I'm not going to really tighten it until it's properly broken in, but when I do I'll post progress pics!

Super TMI warning: This is terribly awkward to write out, but I think my diet has been severely lacking in fiber, and I'm pretty desperate for any recommendations you guys might have. I think I read somewhere that a lot of people on highly restrictive diets have trouble with irregularity. At this point I'm willing to try anything.

Hey guys! So, I've been doing really well for the past three weeks or so. As of yesterday, I hit my 50 pounds down mark, and I'm over halfway to my goal. Yay me!
But last night and today, I'm having some problems wanting to binge. I stopped it last night with a low-cal meal, but this morning, my boss brought donuts, and inhaled a cinnamon roll. I'm so upset with myself. Today was supposed to be a fasting day. Anyways, the donut wasn't very big, and I'm not super-worried about the calories because I've been operating on such a large deficit.
My concern is that this might trigger a binge today. I've caught myself already thinking about what fast food to get for lunch and dinner. I know that if I eat lunch, it will not be good, nutritious food, and I will eat way too much of whatever it is. I'm just terrified of this starting some binge cycle that lasts a couple days or worse.
Please, please help me out you guys! Talk me off the ledge. Any encouragement or support you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. You guys are awesome!

First Post! Now that that's out of the way, onto the actual post.
Right now I'm staying with my stepmother for the summer. When I last saw her I was around 130 lbs. and have dropped down to 109 since then (still striving for under 100 lbs. <3). She's always been manipulative, passive-aggressive, catty, and controlling. She's an older woman now, and she's disgustingly chubby. She has this grotesque fat-distribution where her legs and arms are unattractively thin (if that was even possible) and her torso (back, tummy, sides) is full of folds of fat and cellulite.
She doesn't watch me through the day, so she doesn't really know how little I eat. But she is pissed about how much skinnier (and attractive) than her I am. So now she's in this habit of trying to tempt me into eating more than I want to. Just last night she kept trying to tell me that if I didn't order cheesecake at a grill we went to, it would be "rude to the waiters". And this evening after she made some "healthy enchiladas" (not possible, as far as I'm concerned) she literally WAFTED THE SMELL OF THEM OVER TOWARDS ME WITH HER HANDS (fanning motion). I looked at her and asked her what the hell she was doing.
She said: "I'm letting you enjoy the smell"
To which I responded: "Oh, I thought you were trying to tempt me."
Her response: "Well that too."
And I gave her the meanest look I could muster and replied: "Well that won't work on me."
Also, this weekend her, my father, and I are going on a camping trip and she won’t shut up about buying donuts for the roadtrip and grilling steaks and burgers for dinner. I’m so sick of her petty little attempts to try and sabotage my weight loss because she’s jealous of my figure. After finding this subreddit I knew this was the perfect place to seek support and advice about how to deal with her. Love you all and good luck on your journeys for beauty <3

I run down this road a lot. I'll have a "fuck it" kind of day, binge all day long until I get sick, then swear to myself I'll get back on track the next day.
The next day comes, I fast or heavily restrict, all is well, then the next day I cave and binge again.
I HATE it. I hate it hate it hate it. I feel like if I touch ANY food at all, I suddenly can't control myself and I eat thousands upon thousands of calories in one sitting. It's driving me insane...
Please, if anyone has any tips at all to help me control myself when I eat, I would be ever so grateful.
I have lost control of my eating and I NEED to get a fuckin' grip. It's been almost 2 months that this binge cycle has been going on and I'm gaining weight. I need to STOP.

So I recently discovered Quest protein bars. They might be a little too high calorie for some (they range from about 160 to 210 calories) but they are super, super filling without making you feel bloated. When I eat one, I stay full for at least six or seven hours. They have 20 grams of protein, which is good for your health, and they are very low-carb. Plus, if you have a sweet tooth, they have some nice flavors like cookies n' cream, cinnamon roll, and cookie dough (although some of their flavors are disgusting). I don't think they're as healthy as real food, but they're a good source of protein and you can get by on just one for most of the day.

I use to throw away food, and I'd feel so guilty. Sometimes, I'd throw away good food like really nice cupcakes and desserts, and I'd feel so bad for doing it.
It doesn't make sense to feel bad though. I mean, it's a waste of money, but throwing away a $4 cupcake uneaten is like paying $4 to save 400 calories. I'd pay more than $4 to have my 400 calories back after I ate it.

I like to go through images where I have been tagged on Facebook or pictures that have been taken of me at events, parties, etc. I find photos where I look fatter or that show a particularly bad angle of me in terms of size and I save these photos in a special folder which I browse whenever I'm feeling like cheating or giving up, to show myself the reality of how others see me if I keep eating like this. Sure it's easy to find a good angle when I'm taking a cute selfie, but in real life, it's not just the perfect angles that people see you from - I can't afford to have any "fat angles".

Every time I have mad food cravings, I read this line from [this](http://www.prevention.com/weight-loss/weight-loss-tips/how-stop-food-cravings-and-overeating) article, and I instantly don't want to binge.
"Experts note that "restrained eaters"—dieters who severely limit calories or certain foods—aren't necessarily thinner than regular eaters; they're actually about 1 to 2 BMI points higher, or the equivalent of 10 to 20 pounds, as their self-imposed food rules often backfire."
It's like, I can't let myself be one of those pathetic failed dieters. The image of a middle-age slightly overweight woman comes to mind, and it's like, such a powerful message for me. I think of the people who wrote the article, and they're probably the "build muscle for health" type, who always act condescending towards people who simply restrict.

Well part of the reason I am here and struggled with my weight for so long is because I started getting my period at age 7. For the record, my mom got it at 16, and it's normal in my family to get it at 14-17.
Whereas all the other kids I knew started stretching out at one point or another, I went from being a smallish regular weight kid to being a fat kid in a bra and staying the same height, because (allegedly) when you get your period you stop growing.
I was told I was a woman now unlike my friends. I mean as for height, there are plenty of people my height. I felt fat, though I was never super-obese. But the psychological root of it, was the loss of symbolic freedom.
Wtf, I just wanted to be like everyone else. It really messed with my head and I know that my BMI is normal now, but I still constantly feel fat.
I keep feeling that at my age it's not that I think i'm obese, but that I want to capture that lanky adolescent thing. I want to be well, high school skinny because I was never a "teen" in high school, but a kid trapped in a 35 year old's body.
I looked 35 when I was 13 and was fat through my teens and 20s. But now I want to recapture the feeling of being young you know? Cuz I never felt that except when I got carded at a nightclub.
Well I also heard nasty stereotypes like early ripe, early rotten and that girls who get their period really early get fat and menopause really early too. That's why I'm also paranoid about anti aging.
If I had to look 35 as a 15 year old I damn well look 15 or even 25 when I turn 35 in a few years. I know it's irrational but this is my motivation. I mean anyone with a similar motivation? It's not about the size 0 jeans its about capturing those wasted years...

Note: These might be triggering for some.
http://www.imdb.com/list/ls005351462/
I love watching ED documentaries (I also love reading ED stories, but it seems that a thread on that was posted a few weeks ago). I don't know why they're so fascinating, but they hit close to home and make me feel a little bit more alive.
Anyways, this list is ranked by top-rated and most can be found on YouTube! I'm watching Thin this morning after a particular rough night. I guess I can't explain it - hearing personal stories puts things into perspective for me and lets me know I'm not the only compulsive eater.
Any favorites? What are your must-watch movies?

Every year my high school has a spirit week. The final day of that week is called color wars, each grade is assigned a color that they have to wear that day. Freshman get white, sophomores get green, juniors get blue, and seniors get red. Cool way to show class pride.
My mom gave me some of her old blue paisley pants (from when high waisted pants were in style the first time around) a few years ago. I desperately wanted to wear them for color wars my junior year, but I couldn't quite fit into them.
Now they actually fit! Pretty tight, but I can get all the buttons closed (that's the important part, right?) I'm all set for next year. =)

Hey as a CRON - Calorie Reduction with Optimal Nutrition - fan I'm new and peripheral to this group. But, I'm getting more obsessive with dieting even after reaching a normal BMI after being obese.
This is because, I am a 30+ girl in office work, just beginning to seriously aspire toward going into the entertainment industry. Mostly as a musician since I've played music for a long time, but also interested in other opportunities and hopefully parlaying my work into the 'triple threat' thing.
I keep reading these articles on the web and I'm terrified, maybe that is why I am so obsessed with the numbers on the scale as well as skincare. I am all about responding to realities rather than protesting as a feminist. Anyone else here feel the same way?

I've been lurking on here for a few weeks, but finally decided to create an account today. I hesitated for a while because I didn't want to get too carried away and take it to a really unhealthy level, and because I think some of my goals aren't in line with what most people here want. (For example, I like having some muscle on my legs and arms, although I am dying to have a tiny waist.) I'm also way older than most of the people here (I'm 32). But everyone here is so friendly and encouraging that I couldn't stay away! :) I'm really looking forward to posting and commenting and I hope I can add some value to this community.

Hi wonderful humans of /r/ProED!
I've been browsing for the past few weeks and decided to make an account. I'm 21, 5'7" (maybe taller?) and 122.0 lbs (BMI is 19.1). I've been in inpatient and was recovered for a year. One day last month I took a long look at my body and realized my low self esteem was because missed my old one.

LW: 112 lbs
GW1: 118 lbs
GW2: 113 lbs

I just want to say that the support system here is so inspiring. I never see negative comments and the tight-knit community reminds me so much of the girls and guys I've gotten to know through the years in inpatient and GT. I realize I've missed that bond and have no one IRL to talk about something that feels like such a huge part of me.
Alright, I think that's all! Please, say hi! I love feedback and finding friends with similar stats.

My family expects me to eat meals with them and to eat what they're eating. My family eats relatively healthy, but still some high calorie things, like cheeses and butter. They would think it totally bizarre and know something was up if I said I was on a diet or something, since the food is basically healthy already. I'm already saving most of my calories for meals with my family, but it still often leaves me over my limit and feeling disgusted with myself. Part of the problem is that I used to eat too much on a regular basis, so this change in behavior would seem very strange and suspicious. Also, I struggle with depression and anxiety, which they know, so they're already watchful and concerned about me.
TL;DR how do you all deal with family who expect you to eat and would be very suspicious if you refused the offered food?

The more skinny I get, the less my clothes fit me and the more they become loose. I now need to wear belt with shorts that I would normally need to suck in my belly to fit in them. As much as I love the feeling, its looks more and more ridiculous and I definitely need to wear some clothes that fit me. But clothes are so expensive...
Therefor I want to know how to you guys manage to dress yourself properly during the whole weight loss process? Did you redo your whole wardrobe ?

Hey everybody. I've been doing the ABC for about two months now and I've lost 15 pounds on it, which is awesome because my starting weight and BMI were shameful (still are, but I know this is a lifelong journey and I don't expect a quick fix.) However, I've seen over and over again on this subreddit that the ABC is unsustainable and might lead to eventual weight gain.
I know you guys are the experts, so I was wondering if you could give me a plan I could do that was going to be better for me in the long term than the ABC. I'm pretty good at self-control when it comes to not eating badly and I always exercise enough to make my net calories in the negatives, but I'm not sure if it's enough.
Also I just want to say I love this community and every day when I'm deciding to eat something shitty or not I come here and I'm so inspired by you guys. My BMI is 23.1 and I promised myself when I got to 20 I would reward myself by making a flair in this sub. My goal BMI is 17 or maybe to just shrink and shrink until I disappear into thin air, whichever seems more reasonable at the time.

I posted my back story on my last post, so I won't bore you guys with all that again. Long story short, I got used to weighing in the 90s-low 100s for years until I went through the ED help program at my university.
I knew that I was gaining weight, but I also knew it would hinder my recovery if I looked at the scale. I have weighed a couple times since then, so I was guessing that I still weighed around 125. Wrong. I weighed myself two days ago, and it said 137.6. I was pretty much in complete shock. I've been drinking tons of water and trying to eat as little as possible since then, but today it says 139 (maybe retaining the fluids.)
This all started when my boyfriend and I decided to try to get in shape (he has also gained about 30 lbs in the past few years, but is not overweight) but now I am definitely in my old mindset again. I'm going to be smarter about it this time though, keep hydrated and refrain from purging...purely restricting to 500-800 calories a day. I want to lose 30 lbs by this time in September if possible.

The largest drawback to staying on track during the last couple days has been controlling what I eat during family gatherings. I thought my 1500 calorie binge day would be a one-time thing, but it's happening more and more often as the summer goes on.
I've done a ton of walking around downtown the last two days (~6 hours yesterday and ~4 hours today), which makes me feel less guilty for binging so much, but I want exercise to be a bonus and not something I need to break even.
What do you folks do to avoid overeating when you're surrounded by food?

Hey there, lovely people!
Recently, I've been thinking long and hard about when I reach my UGW. I know that even if I pushed as hard as I can, I still won't get there 'til August, which is a while. So, chances are, it'll be a bit after that when I actually reach it.
There is a certain way I'd like to look.
These are my biggest sources of thinspo right now (all full body):
1. [The tatted girl](http://i.imgur.com/YDAOzyQ.jpg)
2. [Slim and tall](https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/39/a5/4e/39a54e4607b802b0d13badb2dd3095b3.jpg)
3. [Gypsyone](http://i.imgur.com/ZTUtoI7.jpg)
I'm really bad when it comes to self-perception (not surprising- I think most folks are, honestly). I'm currently 5'8, 110 lbs, and BMI of 16.7. [Here's an album of what I look like at the moment.](http://imgur.com/a/vjOFv) I think I look more around the 140 lbs mark.
My UGW is to reach 90 lbs. That would put me at a BMI of 13.7.
My question is, if all those ladies were 5'8, what weight/BMI do you think they're at? How much weight do I need to lose until I look like that? Will another 20 lbs cut it, or do I need to lose more?

I've been eating, and so cleanly, no junk food or any fear foods- but whenever I get full, like after a big meal, it just makes me want more food even though it hurts and so I binge and binge on veggies and fruits and I don't know how to stop when this happens. Binge eating was never a huge problem for me (usually restriction, chew/spit, and purging) and it is terrifying.

Let's be honest, we've all done it- eating thousands of calories in one go- but what do *you* do after a binge? Personally, I like eating 'clean foods', with lots of fiber and protein, and then doing a water fast for a day or two.

Or keep it in the kitchen. When you're about to binge, drink all of it very quickly. Then refill and repeat.
The reason why you keep it in a bottle is that it's close by. When you're about to binge, you might not be thinking as straight as to drink water first.

I had been doing alright. Alternating 1k days then fast days.
And then this morning, a zero day, I had a grape from a bowl my housemate offered. And then another one. And then some cereal. And then everything I could lay my hands on. 3000+ calories. I am desperate not to purge as I can't face that cycle again. But my god I feel disgusting.
I can feel my fat hanging over the fold of my jeans. The fat shaking as I run. My weight on the mattress as I sit in bed writing this.
Fuck.

Hey everyone,
I usually post a lot here, but I haven't recently, and I might not be on reddit for a few weeks after this week because my family wants to send me to rehab for drugs, and I might not have access to Internet there. I don't quite know the details on it because I'm not suppose to know that it's happening, but I was tipped off on it.
So if I'm gone for a few weeks, that will be where I'm at. For now, I'll still be around until then, but I figured I should let people know before I disappear.
As far as this sub, the other mods here are really great, and frankly, I don't do much mod-work anyway, so I'm sure everything will go on as usual. I'm going to miss everyone here and reading the posts. You're all amazing people. This sub has grown quite a lot since its beginning, and it's been cool to see it grow from me and a few others posting thinspo to the community it is now.
I wish you all the best. If I'm gone, I'll see you all in a few weeks. If I don't disappear, consider this a note of appreciation for the community here. Stay strong everyone :) Best of luck.

Hi guys,
I was inspired by [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/proED/comments/39tk7b/tutorial_super_simple_and_easy_meal_i_use_for/) and thought it would be fun to discuss what we do when we just crave that sugary taste that usually comes with a bunch of calories~
Here are my favorite recipes for when I crave sweetness, feel free to add yours in the comments too:
**10 calorie Hot cocoa:**
- 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder (10 calories, pretty much only source of calories)
- 1 cup hot water
- 2-4 packets Stevia
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon(optional, 3 calories)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract(optional, 6 calories)
Stir together until everything is dissolved-you can add more water if it's too strong, cocoa if it's too weak, Stevia for sweetness, etc. It's really simple, and easy to play around with~
**70-75 calorie vanilla protein milkshake:**
- 10 g whey protein(40 calories)
- 1 cup unsweetened (preferably vanilla) almond milk(30-35 calories)
- 2-3 packets Stevia
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract(optional, 6 calories)
This works best with a blender, but you can use a fork/whisk if you don't want to. Just stir it up and drink!
Sorry these are all liquids, I just prefer drinking to actually eating-it fills me up more and lasts longer than things I eat.

I see skinny people, and they look so happy that they can't possibly have an ED. I want to be them: skinny, happy. Every time I see a skinny person, I always like at their hands to see if they purge and wonder if they count calories or weigh themselves 20 times a day.

I typically try not to purge more than once a week. Never would be ideal, but I am weak.
The next day my throat always feels destroyed. Do you guys have any tips on how to prevent or deal with this?
On a related note I read somewhere that brushing your teeth post purge is really bad for your enamel, because you're just scrubbing them with stomach acid. So i rinse with a mixture of water and baking soda to neutralize the acid before brushing. Couldn't hurt right?

Please forgive me if I didn't tag this appropriately, or if the content isn't correct for this sub. Link is to a British TV program that swaps the diets of obese and thin individuals.
I find this show very motivating as it is pretty explicit in showing the bodies of both the thin and obese participants, as well as detailing exactly what they eat to become that way. It even goes so far as to pile together all the things that they consume over a week, and after watching, I'm often extra mindful of how big my "pile" would be. Several episodes up on youtube, hope y'all enjoy.
*tagged as NSFW due to nudity during the show. Nudity is related to health discussion, not sexual.

[UPDATE] So far 36+ hours in and doing well! I haven't weighed myself since Friday, as I ate like shit over the weekend and have been on my period since Monday. I'm considering fasting until my period is over (although /u/-__-__-__- reminded me I should *prooobably* be taking some sort of iron supplement O_o). As such have looked up a few random things about fasting while on your period:
> When you are in your period, you cannot fast and pray, you cannot also directly touch the Qur'an. You can do other things like maybe listen to the Qur'an, study Islam, feed people who are fasting, give to charity, to keep the spirit of Ramadan.
> ...it is *haraam* to fast during your periods because the blood that is coming out is *najis* (impure)
you should also not pray, or touch the arabic *mushaf*...
Note: I am Catholic, but thought this was interesting ^
> A woman’s basal metabolic rate rises by 5 to 10 percent during the week before the onset of menstruation. That would amount to burning 75 to 150 extra calories a day for a woman whose metabolic output measured 1500 calories. The metabolic rate returns to normal, or slightly less than normal, on the first or second day of menstruation. Every woman has a cyclical metabolic rate but the timing of the rise and fall is not identical for every women.
> A few days before and during the time you are menstruating, you do burn more calories due to the additional cellular activity taking place internally. Some female metabolisms may increase up to 15% during this time due to hormonal changes and loss of blood. The increase in metabolism can lead to an increase in appetite in order to compensate for the greater calorie burn (in the same manner that as exercise can lead to an increase in hunger), which is why some women tend to eat more or crave different foods during this time of the month. Cravings can also be caused by the hormonal changes that affect taste or thought processes. Additionally, certain foods can help sooth difficult times, thus leading to different or unusual food choices.
^ Fucking no wonder I ate like a cow over the weekend. Ugh

Hello! I've just been skulking around the sub this morning and happened to notice that many of us have started or are planning on starting a fast this week.
I personally am part of that club, as I capped off a very successful week with a 0/10 weekend and am looking to reset.
So, tell me about your fast! Are you doing a water or juice fast? How long are you going for? Is this your first fast?
We can be fasting buddies :D

Hello; first of all I want to say I am glad I found this sub, it's rare to find a place to talk about EDs where I know I won't just be told to "get help". It's a great source of motivation even if right now I am going through difficult times (on a binge/"eating normally" cycle).
I wanted to know how you deal with those times of day when you are just so hungry you can't help yourself. I've always had a difficult relationship with food (I can't tell when I'm full or when I should stop eating, which is what triggered my ED at 15 - 6 years ago), but every day, from 6 pm to about 10 pm, I get so hungry I grow terribly angry. The rest of the day I can do mostly fine: I usually have only liquids for breakfast since I'm not especially hungry in the mornings, and I like to save my calories for lunch, which is the main meal of the day (I live in a Mediterranean country) and the only meal I eat with my family. Dinner is eaten from 9 pm to 10 pm in my house, and I usually skip it when I am restricting. At about 5 pm I try to eat some fruit to prevent hunger later in the day, but it never seems to be enough and I end up binging from 6 pm to 8 pm. Usually I'm alone at that time, so I eat as much as I can. If I'm not alone, I sneak food from the kitchen - not because they'd mind, but because I'm ashamed of giving in to my cravings. If I don't eat enough to feel physically ill I get, as I said, really emotionally unstable. This has been going on for as long as I remember.
So there are two possibilities when 8 pm rolls around: either I'm angry and moody because I haven't eaten, or I feel sad and guilty because I HAVE eaten. Most days it's the latter. I've tried distracting myself with lots of different activities (as suggested in many help/tip threads), but they only work during the rest of the day, when I am hungry but still in control.
What do you do when you feel like you can't do anything but eat?

I'm starting to have some issues at home now, 'cause of my weight. My parents are very upset with me. I've also discovered that I'm not handling it very well.
* They yell at me any chance they get. They're always mad at me. What were once normal interactions, are now forced and moody. I can't stand it.
* They're threatening to take me to a doctor or psychologist. I'm assuming it's a bluff, but they seem so serious about it. I'm nineteen- there's no way they can force me into anything, right?
* They tell me the only reason I'm not eating is because I'm lazy.
This infuriates me. Lazy. Going through the day with hunger pangs doesn't feel lazy. Constantly dizzy, flushed, fluctuating between tired and energetic. Working out every single day. Every waking moment I'm restricting. Do they know what it's like to cut down under 500 cals a day? Under 400? Under 300? To *fast*? It's literally called *restricting* and *discipline*, but when I do it, it's lazy. I wonder what they'd call me if I just sat around and ate all day.
* They call me "sick". Am I sick, or lazy? Pick one.
* I'm not even small. They're making such a huge fucking deal, and my BMI isn't even under 17. If you put me beside someone who has a BMI of 18.5, no one would tell the difference. No doctor would chastise me for my weight. No one's came up to me and told me I look sick, or thin, or anything. It's almost like they're cruelly mocking me for not being thin enough.
* If they stopped intervening, I could keep restricting and working out everyday, I'd get to my goal weight (90 lbs) by *[August](http://i.imgur.com/xzJansL.png?1)*. Just two months, and it would all be over. But, of course, that would be too easy.
They're making me miserable. How do I deal with this? I don't have the means to move out on my own, yet, so I need to figure out a way to deal with their horrible attitudes without going crazy. I don't want to compromise on my weight loss, but I'm scared I have to. ): Help?

Throwaway account, basically because I've allowed myself to become a fat fuck!!
I'm 36 and have been riding this train for 20 years now. I always managed to keep my weight under 110 and was very happy with that. 10 years ago I started gaining weight. I do have a couple of medical issues and my meds haven't helped the weight issue but if I am truthful, the **MAIN** reason I have gained weight is because I have been in a binge cycle and I **CHOSE** to keep doing it.
I chose to binge even though my clothes no longer fit, even though I started to develop stretch marks, even though it made me feel like shit. I did not stop and now I weigh 220lbs!!!!
I am a fucking **BEAST. **
There is no other word for it.
I've started to restrict again. I am consuming a maximum of 1200 calories a day at the moment but I plan to get that down a lot further. I'm afraid of not losing fast enough. I'm 36, almost 37 and my metabolism is not as fast as it used to be due to health issues and probably my age but I do not want this to be an excuse. I just need some support please.

Drink like 3 shots of cheap vodka/tequila/whiskey etc when you feel like binging. Usually the liquor is disgusting enough to make you feel nauseated so as to not binge.
Alternatively, drink cough syrup. Get the sugar free one to save calories. Drink like a quarter of the bottle. You should get okay high. This high kills appetite if I remember correctly.

Hey guys,
As you know, I have bulimia. I had a massive carbohydrate binge a few days ago which sent me from my normal weight of 111 to 115. Yesterday, my weight was down to 113. However, I had Egg Drop Soup last night (which apparently has 2000 mg of sodium), and I weighed in at 114!
My measurements are still the same, so I'm assuming this is water-weight. How long will it take for my weight to settle back down at where it normally is?

And it was fun, it was a workout, and despite going alone I enjoyed myself. I don't dance particularly well though. I have this sort of walking dream whenever I go out that once I am smaller, lighter, I'll be more graceful. And then instead of going alone I'll go to dance with others. Once I'm smaller and more graceful.
It's a nice day dream.

**as titled. please suggest warm meals :)** i don't have a microwave but i have all others. there are SOME details, i ramble below, you don't have to read it though. just spring ideas at me yo

i'm trying to stay under 500 kcals until the 27th this month.
i'm not comfy eating carbs (i get anxious). i'm scared of animal products (i think they cause cancer). i'm restricting because... well, food is just scary tbh.
i started off low-carb and ate veg and fish all the time, but i want to be vegan now. my problem is that what i normally go to for low-carb vegan is almonds. i can eat bucket-loads of the stuff, but almonds are rather high kcal so i'm trying to not eat them so much... if the food is real/unprocessed it's always a plus... recently i've been eating green apples and almond milk... all under kcal but not at all low enough in carbs :(
HOPEFULLY TO MEET THOSE WHO OPERATE UNDER SIMILAR RULES :) plz respond~

I change my mind about how I want this to end. This will never end; I know that now. I'm going to die of starvation. I *want* to die of starvation. I want to die before age 21, so four, almost three, more years of hunger. I see myself as a corpse. I'd wear white, my skin would be pale. My body would be fat-less, pure. The flowers around me would be white and weaved into my hair. I'd be nothing, but I was always nothing. I was never anything. My body was something and it would then be nothing.

Hey guys/girls, I want to remind everyone to be careful about maintaining functional glucose levels. Yesterday night, I was walking up stairs, sprinted the last few steps, got dizzy at the top, and passed out thus falling down the stairs. I'm okay obviously, but it probably could have been worse. I saw the floor coming near me, so I was able to sort of break my fall. For those of you who haven't been "caught" with an ED, you want to be extra careful because fainting is one way in which you could be caught since if you don't wake up, someone will call an ambulance, they'll get your blood pressure and whatever, and be like, "omg ED".

Fasten your seatbelts guys, because in 5 short steps I'm gonna tell you the BEST recipe that a youtube video taught me a few years ago, but I still use to this day (and probably will use many days forward).
Step 1: Get a banana and 2 eggs (~230 calories)
Step 2: Peel banana, crack eggs, mash that shit together
Step 3: Heat up pan, put on tiny bit of oil
Step 4: Make small pancakes. Kinda like [this](https://recipemama.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/obsipikelets.jpg)
Step 5: Enjoy a small taste of heaven
These things keep me fired up for hours! You're very welcome

I know there's formulas for how much water you need in general, but I bloat like nobody's business around that time of month and especially after a lot of sodium.
Is there a formula for how much I should be drinking to get rid of bloat caused by ~3000mg of sodium versus ~2000mg or ~5000mg? Or should I just keep trying for a gallon of water every day?

So I'm currently away for three weeks and that means I do not have access to a scale, nor can I get access to one. Same with measuring tapes. So it's been about a week of this and I'm utterly paranoid that I'm gaining weight, or at least not losing. But I think I've been eating pretty small. What would you advise? Do you know of any good ways to check weight without a scale? How can I be sure I'm losing weight? Thank you!!

So uh, as you can see from my BMI I don't even meet the medical standards of an anorexic. This is the combination of a series of battles between recovery and relapse in which the recoveries won, I guess.
I'm trying to lose more weight now, to be back where I feel like I need to be to be healthy, but I'm having so much trouble. I train every day of the week for my university's cross country team (we start in August), but I can't lose weight. I know exactly why, but I can't fucking control it and it makes me so frustrated. Every day I say, okay, stay under 1000 and you're good. 1000 is a lot, that's plenty.
By the end of the day I'm at fucking 2500 or 3000. I just eat and eat. I'm disgusting. Swine. I run 6 miles a day but I don't look like it, nor does my weight reflect it.
I HAVE to lose this weight by the time cross country season starts. I can not perform realistically without being at a healthy BMI around 18 - 19.
I need help. I'm honestly ashamed to type that out. I've always been able to lose weight as I please. Now I cant. I accept that and I am asking for help.
I need someone I can message/text when I start to eat who can talk me out of it. It's a lot to ask, but I really need it.
Thanks everyone. This community is awesome.

I started dieting because I wanted to be skinnier than my cousin. It sounds lame now, but it was serious motivation.

Ok ok ok so this is something I just got away with having for dinner and it's so good and so low-cal!!! It's chicken soup with cottage cheese. The brand of chicken bullion I use is called Wyler's and the brand of cottage cheese I use is Tine Mager (basically "slim" or reduced fat version) Cottage Cheese.
So basically it's just:
1 cup chicken broth (5 cal)
15 g cottage cheese (12 cal)
Pepper to taste (up to 3 cal)
I think I'm in love. I'm going to make this a staple in my diet for sure!!

I'm so frustrated. I've been stuck at 104 for weeks now. I eat around 1000 calories a day and I'm on my feet all day at work. I get over 10,000 steps in just at work and I come home and either run 4 miles or do Jillian Michael's banish fat, boost metabolism every day. The things I eat are healthy. I do chicken, hummus, salads, fruit, things like that. So the calories I AM getting are GOOD for me stuff! It sucks being over 30. I know that back in high school at this rate I would be well under 100 lbs. and it is frustrating the crap out of me. Anyone have any pointers? I find that restricting calories to even 500 causes my metabolism to slow down so much that even THAT doesn't do me any good. I'd love to lose 2 pounds a week and according to all those calorie calculator thingys I SHOULD be!!!!!!! F*** I don't know what to do.

I need to tell someone about my Ednos, I just can not stand it, I was on the 11th day of abc diet was all going incredibly well, I had already done three days nf. Yesterday I made water nf, and today I woke up with a crazy headache, so I took my coffee in the morning and ended my day's calories (150). I went to class and saw a lot of people eating candy and things that I love, I was controlling me, really, even at lunch when I went to a friend's house and refused wonderful pancakes. Then gave me a life stress, anxiety, I do not know, and gave me very hungry, I was in the mood to eat everything that lay ahead since it was sweet and with a strong flavor (like Doritos) I came home and ate like crazy, ate 500 calories in a 10 minute interval, I felt horrible and vomited almost everything. Not happy I still ate more a 1000 calories even feeling really full. I don't know what came over me, I just can't control myself, or I don't eat anything all day or I eat everything I see ahead. I was doing very well had already lost 7 kilos about and lost many measures. I'm too scared to have put it in the trash, serious, and the more I feel bad more I eat ... please help me, tell me that these two million calories I ate today will not ruin my diet: (
Ps: I just take a laxative, but everyone says it does not serve to lose weight, this is true or myth?
Tomorrow I will do nf again, my belly is super bloated so much that I ate

I'm an athlete so I've always had a lower percentage of body fat than normal for a girl, and I've always been really muscular. Right now I'm 5'3" and 153 lbs. It's horrible. Anyway- Despite having almost no fat on my body aside from the obvious places, (breasts. duh. they're small, but they're there.) I've always had a double chin. For my 19th birthday my parents agreed to let me get liposuction. I went to the plastic surgeon for a consultation and he said that I do have more fat there than normal and he can drastically improve that. While I'm super excited to have this main insecurity taken care of in about a month, I feel a bit like I'm cheating because I haven't put the work in to starve it off. I mean, I have worked for it, a lot, and it hasn't gone away. I don't know. What do you guys think?

I've been working out and eating lighter (1300ish cals) for the past few days. I've been trying not to go extreme, as I have a history of binging and purging and I'm tired of doing that to myself. However, this morning I weighed myself and I'm STILL stuck at 131. I've been this weight for years, and every time I do lose some weight, I end up back here. I'm so sick and tired of seeing a 3 after the 1. I want to be safely in the low teens. Maybe this weight is "normal" for my genetics, but I hate it. It makes me angry to see it on a scale.
Today, I have eaten nothing. I won't eat until tomorrow, and then I'm going to seriously be reducing my intake. I might go down to one meal per day. I don't care. I just want to lose fat and see progress.
I just wanted to rant. Thanks for your time, if you read this. I just needed to get it out because I'm going crazy, just feeling ashamed, angry and annoyed when I was expecting at least a pound gone.
Edit: Thank you everyone, for your responses and comforting words. I really think I was just being unrealistic with my expectations too early. I don't want this to be a completely negative experience, and I want to give myself positive reinforcement, so I'm just going to be steadfast and not look for changes too soon.
I DO want to add, however, that after my fast yesterday, I stepped on the scale this morning (going to be the last time for a while) and it said 129!!! I thought it was too good to be true at first, so I stepped off and back on again a few times and wriggled around just to make sure it was accurate. It didn't change. It's starting to sink in that this really is do-able, I just have to chill and take it a day at a time. Thanks again, everyone. I'll keep you all posted :P

I happened upon this subreddit by chance, and I've been lurking for a few days. I have to say that I'm surprised by how this turned out to be more of a support community for people with EDs, rather than a 'pro-ana' place.
Anyway, an introduction.
My name is رحاب (but I go by Riha as a shortened version online), I'm 23, born female but strongly identify agender, and I've had an ED for almost three years now. I have Anorexia Nervosa (restricting-type), and I'm currently working with an ED-specialist team (therapist & dietitian), but thus far I have not made any progress.
I'm vegan (for the animals, not to hide my ED), a writer, play video games(3DS)/watch anime, love to read, love kpop, and I vape.
I also have ADHD :d
I'm married and live with a cat XD
Let's see...I'm coming here bc the current place I use has been dying down as of late, and I feel like I need more support and to be in a supportive ED community that's active. I just hope people from other subreddits don't ninja-downvote my post history :( I'm really emotionally sensitive and it bothers me a lot to get unneeded downvotes (stupid, I know, but I can't help how I feel).
By the way, I love what you guys have done here; it's so aesthetically pleasing with the colors and I didn't even know headers on reddit could scroll like that oO

Seeing that I can't really celebrate with anyone else, I thought I'd share here. (:
Yesterday, the scale said 116.4 lbs. It also said that the day before, and the one before that. It said that for almost over a week. Then this morning, it went down [three pounds](http://i.imgur.com/sx4AHOT.jpg)! I know three isn't that much, but after a week of nothing, it just felt *so good*.
With my weight loss, I had a couple of mini GWs, (117 lbs, 110 lbs, 100 lbs, and UGW of 90 lbs).
[In another three pounds, I'm hitting a my mini GW of 110 lbs, and I'm so excited!](http://media.bestofmicro.com/9/G/446164/original/milhouse.jpg)
Anyone else having a good week?

When I'm not binging, I find myself peaking somewhere between 500 and 600 calories a day where I tend to no longer feel hungry. I don't eat after 7pm at all. But I know that if I need to stay between 800 and 900 regularly, and stopping at 499 a day isn't going to be good for me in the long run.
So what should I do when it's 6:30pm and I'm 300 calories short?

I wasn't 100% sure what to Flair this post with, but I considered how I felt about myself this past weekend and compared it to how I've been feeling the past few days. Even though I'm nowhere near my GW, this week I've felt (relatively) more confident that *I can do this.* I might be fat AF now, but I can change it if I keep working for it. I'll consider frame-of-mind a NSV.

I am especially after any good suggestions for hair supplements, as I get my permed and its not the kindest thing for hair!

Due to recent drama of subreddits getting shut down because of harassment, I'd like to go over some **very** important rules and tips.
#Rules
---
* This is not a hate sub. This is a support sub. Treat it as such.
* No discrimination, whatsoever, *especially* for weight. This has been a rule since day one. This isn't FPH. Most sufferers of EDs *are* overweight. Over-Eating Compulsion Disorder is one of *the* most common EDs out there.
* Do not give someone advice unless they ask for it, please. We understand that sometimes ED advice is harmful, refrain from giving it to those who don't ask (it could be taken hurtfully).
* No doxxing. This means blasting other user's private information on our subreddit.
* No explicit content of minors.
* Just be nice, okay? That's all you need to do.
[Read all of our rules here.](http://www.reddit.com/r/proED/wiki/rules)
[**Read Reddit's rules here.**](https://www.reddit.com/help/useragreement#section_reddit_rules)
#Tips
---
* Use a dedicated/throwaway account for /r/proED. If you post all over Reddit, some of that traffic comes back to us. Best to use another account as your main.
* Don't x-post /r/proED content to any subs outside of /r/thinspo, /r/thinspocommunity, and /r/xthinspo. Anywhere else, and we get a huge influx of troll and concern trolls.
---
Please take all this into consideration. This subreddit is home to lots of wonderful users, and we'd like to keep it that way.

I'm waiting for someone, and the thought of him seeing me fat scares me to death.
Current stats: 5' - 121lb (I'm a freaking cow)
Goal weight: 100lb
I have 27 days to lose that weight. Is it too late? Please help me.
I swim 5 days a week for an hour, and do 30~40min of spinning if I don't feel like fainting.
I eat around 500cal a day and take Dexamine which helps me to control my appetite, but I'm also a binge eater. That's my main problem. Can you give me some advice? Thanks.

Hi everyone! I'm pretty new here, just transfered from r/thinspocommunity. I would put my stats up, but I'm on mobile right now. I'm female, 5'7, and 128 lbs as of this morning. I do not have anorexia, but I'm absolutely pro thinspo. Tips and things have helped me so much on my weight loss journey. At my highest I weighed 167 lbs and wore a US size 12. Ugh.
But now that my intro is over I'll tell you a little but about fasting. I have successfully completed 3 full 7 day water fasts, 3 3 day water fasts, and a 7 day juice fast. All st different times in my life. A water fast is where you eat nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, for X amount of days. A juice fast is where you can have the juice from vegetables or fruit, and water, and nothing else.
If you have the ability (time away from work or school or parents) and the sheer willpower then it's going to be so much easier. It's nearly impossible to fast when living with other people. It's also hard to fast when you have to work or go to school because you can't concentrate or even stand for a long period of time. You will get weak after about 3 days. The very first day is pretty much a breeze. Yeah you're gonna be hungry, but if you drink a lot of water and occupy your mind with whatever then you're good to go. The second day is harder, your breath will start to be terrible from the keto process, but other than feeling pretty hungry it's ok. The third day is the hardest. You will start to become weak, tired, and ravenous. If you can get past the hunger pangs and make it to day 4 then you should be in the clear. After that it's only 3 more days of being tired. You won't feel hungry really, but you need to drink plenty of water and occupy your time with video games or something that will allow you to pretty much be bedridden.
That's pretty much my experience with fasting, and I think it's pretty fun. Well once you get past the hunger. I don't recommend anyone fasting that is already underweight because you will risk losing your muscle. Muscle is what burns calories in your body so when you burn off muscle then you're causing your body to not burn as many calories in a day.
Good luck on your future fasting journeys and I want to hear anyone else's stories!

Bulimia sucks. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I need to learn to live with hunger. I'm so tired of wasting all my money and time on eating and purging and eating.
Has anyone had experience with antidepressants causing abnormal hunger? Or with antidepressants which *don't* cause appetite increase? I'm this close to stopping my medication, and risking the return of severe depression and anxiety, because right now *I can't stop eating* and it's ruining my fucking life.
So how is everyone?
Edit: thank you everyone. Going to do the sensible thing and talk to the doctor again about the meds.

I look at EDs as a bulimia/anorexia cycle and not really one or the other, but that might be just me. I was 98lbs and now I'm 203lbs! (I have never told anyone that out loud) because of medications and "recovery" and grief and had a massive slip from restricting to binging and purging that lasted over a year. I need to lose almost 100lbs :( Anyone else ever go through this? I need to know I can be perfect again. I want to slice the fat off my body with a knife. I've been steadily losing weight and I know it's a journey but its so frustrating to use old pictures of myself for thinspo... I feel like a failure by getting fatter than I was in the first place :(

I know that I want to get now to a waist measurement of 20 inches (currently at 25 :( ) and if I get to my goal weight and I'm not there, I will keep on going.
I also want to be able to wear those beautiful cloth bras (the ones with no underwire etc) so need to lose enough boob-weight for that!

Let's have a postmortem report for all the food of June 6th, 2014. Rate other's food, discuss each other's food, offer advice and assistance, guess personalities, and, maybe, make some friends. Who knows?
Use music-rating symbols to express how much you like other posters' food: + for approval, ~ for all right, and - for disapproval.
This is a great place to recommend food based on other's food diaries.
I'll start out with my diary (here: http://i.imgur.com/HM9QJGM.png )
Breakfast:
Oat-So-Simple: could have made it with water, will do tomorrow morning
Rooibos with two sweeeners: were those sweeteners really necessary? two calories gone, two calories ne in Heaven,, one in Hel., and tis is what the post-internet age is. one, two jcalories? one dy rhwy qwew LL rue the day he set out.
Dinner:
Covent Garden Carrot and Butternut Squash Soup: under 100 calories for something that can pass to family as a meal. After all, soup is a meal!
Warburtons Half&Half Bread: my family gave me this to dunk in the soup and it was surprisingly easy to eat
Binge:
Starbucks Tall Chai Latte: didn't even taste as good as I remembered. Waste of calories. I would have been under my goal had I not had that tea.

It was SUPER nice here, weather-wise. I indulged in some junk food (in the form of carrot cake, omfg) but otherwise was pretty good about drinking lots of water and avoiding other poor foods. Dinner last night was shared with my SO: Kasu-marinated salmon, napa cabbage, baby bok choy, mung bean sprouts, and a soy-ginger dashi broth.
I am still heavier than I want to be and don't exercise like I should. I think if I could get into a habit of running every day after work, it would really help me see some progress.
Overall I'd give myself a 6, maaaybe a 7/10

So how do you all feel about caffeine and weight loss? I'm conflicted, sometimes caffeine makes me crash, setting me up for a binge. Other times it helps me get through the morning without food.

I love lifting and being strong (I can now officially squat 45 kg), but I'm always super paranoid about muscle mass causing me to weigh more. I'm torn between continuing and gaining weight, or stopping and losing weight. Is there a happy medium? Can I be under 100 lbs and still be able to do 25 consecutive pushups?

[Tip] Restaurant tip- Better than salads!

Getting a salad in a restaurant is a stereotypical ED/dieter/skinny girl thing, right? Sadly, restaurant salads aren't always skinny-friendly. They usually have lots of cheese, dressing, fried/breaded meats, etc. At least for me, half a tomato and a few cups of iceberg aren't worth the fatty 800+ cals restaurant salads can easily be.
So what do you do instead? Soups! Even the creamy high-cal soups tend to be better than anything else on the menu, and vegetable/clear broth-based soups can be 150-200cals, especially if you get a cup vs. a bowl. And no one cracks jokes about soup being 'rabbit food'!

When I'm around people who are skinny and/or well-dresses and/or beautiful, I get super shy and self-conscious. It's like all of a sudden, everyone is judging me for being the biggest/ugliest person in the room and everyone is watching me eat and commenting to themselves on what I eat. It makes me so nervous, but I don't know why. I can't speak, and all I can think about is how fat I am in comparison, how unsophisticated I am, how messy my hair is, and how I don't belong in the group. Does anyone else feel this way?

For example, fasting and exercising 200 calories for a net of -200 versus eating 400 calories and exercising 600 for a net of -200.
I would think that eating and exercising is better because it raises metabolism, but in the end both are still -200, so does it really make a difference?

Poll Update
---
---
Hi everyone!
Yesterday we released our first poll, in an effort to help us understand what you guys would like from the subreddit. If you haven't already taken the poll, please feel free to [here.](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/10pG6NQianLN_KiDSRMxMwMTyCBmDP5OM5fKVZrMZk8w/viewform?usp=send_form) It will take a while for things to be implemented, so it's still very much appreciated. However, please refrain from doing so if you already have.
#Concerns
Firstly, there are a couple of concerns to address:
##Validity
Yes, validity is always an issue with polls like this. Unfortunately, there was no way to prevent users from taking the poll more than once, unless we forced them to sign-in through a Google account. Luckily, it's painfully obvious when it's done. Regardless, the results were seemingly a great representation on what users want from the sub.
##Public Poll Results
As luck would have, the public results [\(here\)](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/10pG6NQianLN_KiDSRMxMwMTyCBmDP5OM5fKVZrMZk8w/viewanalytics?usp=form_confirm) are **inaccurate.** Not too big of a deal, though, because [I've published the correct results here.](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E8n0QP2WEZBUXxjyud5DqySKYbhDJavi--lzyuBlruw/edit?usp=sharing) The main difference is with the subreddit flair question. The public results switched the number of responses for the "Other" and "list of EDs" option (10 and 17, respectively).
##User Flair
Some users have suggested to let the flair be custom. Well, it already is (otherwise you wouldn't be able to add your stats) . We have a *suggested* template, but it's editable.
Other users have asked to keep the template metric. As it stands, the template has no official unit of measurement, instead, we urge users to add the units that they prefer [\(as outlined in the FAQ\)](http://www.reddit.com/r/proED/wiki/faq#wiki_what_is_user_flair.3F). As of right now, there are no plans to force a measurement, especially not metric seeing that a majority of our userbase is from the US. Please feel free to use sts, lbs, kgs, or whatever fun unit you want. :)
Another common opinion that cropped up was to have both stats *and* EDs as possible flair. The idea was that if the flair were EDs, they wouldn't be editable. The stats template is (understandably). It is an option we're looking into, however it's not the most popular one.
A good suggestion was brought up- to add BF% to the template. Pretty good idea. The template's already a bit large, though, so we'll have to see if it can fit.
##Weekly Threads
The results for the weekly threads were pretty clean cut, however some good points were brought up, and a few were discussed amongst the mods.
Firstly, to move some weekly threads to monthly (the selfie thread, especially). We're thinking more every two weeks- suggestions?
Secondly, some other great suggestions for weekly threads have been brought up, both in the poll and in PMs. A few we're looking at are:
* Weekly meal plan critique
* Weekly tip thread (from diets, to exercise, to anything you guys need help with)
#Results
##Poll Results
[This is the master copy of the results. It is 100% accurate.](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E8n0QP2WEZBUXxjyud5DqySKYbhDJavi--lzyuBlruw/edit#gid=1101376444)
[This is the public charts of the results.](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/10pG6NQianLN_KiDSRMxMwMTyCBmDP5OM5fKVZrMZk8w/viewanalytics?usp=form_confirm) Unfortunately, the values for "list of EDs" and "other" in the "How would you like the subreddit's flair?" question has been switched, otherwise everything else is accurate.
**How would you like the subreddit flair?**
1. Keep it as it is- templates for height | weight | bmi | gender expression (60.0%)
2. Choose from a list of EDs, (all the ones found in the wiki/faq) (25.7%)
3. Other- both (14.3%)
**Would you like weekly threads?**
1. Weekly Stats thread (71.4%)
2. Weekly Selfie/Progress Pic thread (70.01%)
3. Weekly off-Topic Disscussion thread (38.6%)
4. No Weekly threads (10.0%)
5. Other (5.7%)
##What Will Happen
Right now, anything that's above 50% (or majority) will be implemented. This means the flair will stay as it is, and stats and selfie threads will be added.
Please leave your questions, comments and concerns down below! Or, [PM the mods.](http://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2FproED)

Today was bad for me but not my worst. In the past I've binged anywhere from 1500 to nearly 3000 calories in a day. Candy, ice cream junk food. To where it was painful, my stomach cramped, and I was physically ill. I've spent hundreds of dollars on food just to binge on and hate myself for it afterwards.
It's a habit that I'm getting better at breaking but I'm not free from it yet. Does anyone else go through this?

Hi everyone, I'm new to this sub. I have been my highest adult weight ever for the past two years and I hate it. Here's some background. I've never put anything this personal on Reddit, so I've made a new account and everything.
I was an athletic kid growing up. I did gymnastics, tap, jazz, soccer, and danced in theatre groups. I was skinny up until around 4th grade, and by 6th I was chubby. I got bullied horribly for my weight and shyness. I had no friends and became depressed, which is probably why I gained even more. At around 4'11, I had gone from 99 lbs to 150 in the course of middle school. When I started high school, my weight plummeted when I developed an ulcer. I went from 140 to 115, grew a little taller, became prettier and made friends.
I think that was when something clicked in my head that losing weight made me feel good. I remember having "anorexic thoughts" at this time before knowing what that was. It was also around this time that I began having some undiagnosed, untreated psychological issues.
Shortly after graduating high school, someone very close to me died tragically. That coupled with my first boyfriend becoming abusive spiraled me into horrible anxiety and depression. My weight dropped to about 95 lbs at 5'2, and I figured out how to purge. I thought it was going to be a one time thing, but suddenly I realized I couldn't stop. I would restrict heavily, and then if I ate a filling meal I would get rid of it. These behaviors continued for a few years. At the age of 20 my weight was in the low 90s. My anxiety was too bad at the time for me to work or continue with school, so I took some time off and started again. I got well enough to function, and got through school. When I graduated college I got much happier, and began going out with friends and drinking a lot...which led to weight gain. It makes me sick to say that my weight has been in the 120-130 range for TWO YEARS now. (Usually closer to 130)
I absolutely hate the way my body looks right now. Even people close to me have made comments that I have gained weight/need to get back in shape. It's embarrassing. I'm much happier in other facets than I was, and I feel strong enough to shed this fat and boost my self esteem, especially because my anxiety is now being treated. I have some big plans coming up and I don't want to see any fat photos of myself again!!
Edit: To get myself started I have subscribed to several thinspo/ed subreddits, exercising daily, trying to fast for most of the day, and cutting out alcohol aside from vodka (I hear that clear liquors are less fattening, please let me know if this is misinformation.) I hope to get back to my regimen of 800 calories per day.

I would like to share with you as it was my week and, just like me I believe you also want. Well I went back to the diet (I had left for a week and gained all the weight I had lost) have not weighed myself, but today I ate 500 kcal and was feeling very bad from eating so much, I tried to purge and my parents heard it was horrible but I wonder if they realized what I was doing because I was not in the bathroom but in my room with a bucket. Tomorrow is nf day to see if I feel less obese :(

As a male I just dont like the way I look.
My chest is too wide and sticks out and no matter how much I lose my face still looks fat and ugly.
I feel like even if I reach my GW I will still feel uncomfortable with myself but I still restrict and workout because it makes me feel like Im doing something productive and I feel a ittle better when I see the numbers on the scale go down
I used to be 244 pounds when I was in 6th grade and the doctor told me that I was obese and that he never saw anyone my age that weighed that much so I started eating less and less
by 8th grade everyone started to get in relationships and I was jealous of everyone else and It made me hate myself even more so over the summer I ran and ran and ate as little as possible while puking up as much as I could when no one was around
9th grade I was still overweight and *definitely* not obese so I got lots of compliments from everyone but it made me feel even worse because It made me feel like they knew I was still fat even though I lost a lot of weight. I could feel the sarcasm and condesencion in their voices and I quickly stopped talking to these *friends* who would make fun of me behind my back
Overall I lost 100 pounds (244 -> 144) and Im not overweight anymore but god damn do I hate myself and everyone around me. I dont like my family that thinks that being overweight is normal and that Im too lanky and I dont like the looks I get when everyone goes out to eat and makes fun of me because I dont want to eat ~1000 calories in one meal because thats *not normal*

I'm new to this subreddit (and this is a throwaway account so nobody I know digs through my posts and finds out about this sub). I go by Eli, and I'm female.
I'm 5'7" (171 cm). HW: 128 lbs. LW: 108 lbs. CW: 116 lbs (recovery and personal life drama happened, I slipped up, started having about 2000 cal a day, but I'm restricting again now that my dad is off my back). GW: to be under 110 lbs again. UGW: Double digits, bitches! My current BMI is 18.2 and I'm disgusted that I let myself get that huge. If you guys want, I can post a bodycheck, but otherwise, this is just an introductory post! Greetings!!

[Tip] Stop focusing on weight, size matters more.

It seems everyone is so caught up in tracking straight up weight that they're ignoring what's important, size. 100lbs looks way different on someone who is 5'2 compared to someone who is 5'6. Even more so on guys vs girls. 5'2 vs 5'2 can also look different depending on where that weight is carried, how much is fat vs muscle, etc.
What I'm saying is, don't beat yourself up if your weight fluctuates, especially if you're working out and doing more than just cardio (please do some strength training!). /r/progresspics has had it's fair share of examples where people lost very little or even gained a few pounds but reduced their size and got toned. That's what happens when you replace fat with muscle!
And I'm sure everyone here has seen it but keep [this picture](http://i0.wp.com/bamboocorefitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/fat-vs-muscle.jpg?resize=509%2C292) in mind. If you lose 5lbs of fat and replace it with 5lbs of muscle, you will be smaller but weigh the same. You made progress despite what the scale tells you.
2 years ago I stopped watching my weight and started watching my pants and shirts. It's been a much better method of tracking my progress. Oh, and get a tailor's tape (soft flexible measuring tape). Costs like $1 at walmart. Don't trust vanity sizing on clothes. Guys, those 30" jeans... probably 32" in reality unless it's from like H&M.
[Discussion] When did you first realize you had an eating disorder?

What events lead up to you realizing that you had an eating disorder?
I'll share my story. It's really long, but it holds a lot of nostalgia for me. I've never actually written it down and shared it with anyone before.
For me, it was the end of my Freshman year of high school and I decided I would join the cross country team. At that time, I was 5'9" and about 210 lbs. When I showed up to the pre-season meeting to get paperwork, a few of the cross country team members snickered at me. That's when I knew I would lose the weight and run on the team.
I trained all summer, started running the first of June and ran every single day. About midway through June, I was eating dinner shortly after a run. I had just eaten *a whole frozen pizza*. Curious, I looked at the back of the wrapper of the pizza to see the calories and I remember reading 150 calories with a serving size of 8. I had just eaten 1200 calories. That's when I realized that if I seriously wanted to lose weight for the cross country team, I would have to start eating smart too.
So starting around mid June, I started eating healthy. Salads, fish, fruit, all that good stuff. Gradually I began to sort of get carried away. Not only did I only eat healthy, I started eating a lot less. Every day I would run either faster or longer than I did the previous day. People started paying attention to me. When we went to visit family, they all pointed out how much weight I had lost and how great that was. I was eating it up (no pun intended). That drove me to eat even less and run even harder than I was before. By that point I had already lost about 20 pounds and was down to 190lbs. I liked the changes I saw in the mirror, but I wanted to lose more.
I ate less and less and ran more and more, and by the time cross country season came around with the start of the school year on August 7th (2012 I think), I had lost 30lbs and was down to 180. When I walked into school, everyone complimented me on how much weight I had lost. I know that sounds self-indulgent and I don't want it to seem that way, but man did it feel great at the time.
I wasn't the best on the cross country team of course, but everyone there was friendly and no one snickered like they did before. I finally felt accepted as part of a team; that was the first time I ever felt truly accepted into a group like that. Yet I was still one of the heavier people on the team. 180lbs and 5'10" was still heavy. So I kept up my dieting. My mother and father, both clinical psychologists, began to become a little worried. They knew I had lost a lot of weight, really fast, and they knew that I wasn't eating very much. So they asked the coaches what kind of diet is best for a runner. The heavier set of the two coaches mentioned the Paleo diet to them - he said that he had lost 40lbs while on the diet. That wasn't what my parents wanted to hear, but it sure as hell was what I wanted to hear.
I researched the Paleo diet and totally bought into it. Mind you, at this point I had no thought of anorexia/bulimia in my mind. I went hardcore onto the Paleo diet: no grains, no dairy, no processed meats, nothing of the sort. Not only that, but I started cutting my calories really really low. I would eat about 400 or 500 calories a day and run everything off.
I suppose about then was when I became clinically anorexic. At that point I was around 160lbs and completely obsessed with my diet and my weight loss. I thought that I had to either be exercising everything that I ate off or exercise even more, so that I was in the negatives. That meant I was at a calories deficit of around 2,000 per day for maybe 3 weeks. Lost another 10 pounds which brought me to 150.
By now I think I'm towards the end of the cross country season. **I was the happiest I have ever been in my life**. Looking back on those days when I was 145lbs, I would run 10 miles a day and I would eat only around 400 calories - I seriously can not remember a happier time in all 17 years of my existence.
Of course, I was cold all the time. Really cold. I started growing a lot of hair on my body to keep warm. My mother had her suspicions, but no one every accused me of anorexia. I'm a guy, and guys don't get eating disorders, so why would anyone suspect it? But then the bulimia started. I couldn't hold back the cravings and I started binging. I would panic after I binged - actually panic. So I started purging.
My story is already long enough, and I don't really want to talk about the bulimia. The bulimia was not fun, but I was still happier than I am now at 165lbs :(
What's your story? I'm really curious about how this kind of thing happened to others.

Do you hate them? Do you feel indifferent?
Personally, I understand their frustration with their weight. I relate to them. I think that's just because I was overweight though. I've never really bought into hating on fat people. I mostly pitied them yet felt disgusted with them when I see them.

I'm part Asian, but I look unmistakeably Asian. Unfortunately, I'm not "naturally thin".
I've noticed that when I see a skinny Asian girl, I always assume that she's skinny because she's Asian. But I'm a fat Asian, so I feel like people look at me and are like "why isn't she skinny??". But I also feel like if I got really thin, no one would really care because all Asian girls are expected to be thin anyway...I don't really know. It's like I want to be noticed for being thin, but I know that even if I were thin, it'd be no big deal since I'm Asian. Any Asians here have this problem?

How does gossip change in your area for different BMI ranges?
In New York, between BMI 22-25, a person is called "healthy" by his/her peers. Between 18.5-21.9, a person can "lose a little". And between 16.5-18.4 no one mentions weight at all. Is this valid for anyone else?

/r/proED got mentioned in "most disturbing subreddits you've come across".
Honestly, these people are kidding themselves. There are subreddits devoted to "barely legal" pornography, racism, genital mutilation, white rights, alcoholism, et cetera...but people who count calories are disturbing?!
Here's the thing...how I eat doesn't affect anyone else. Subreddits like /r/cripplingalcoholism are disturbing because not only does alcohol destroy you...it destroys people around you. Driving while intoxicated endangers the lives of innocent people. Alcoholism has acute and irreversible consequences. There is no such thing as a functional alcoholic who doesn't endanger other people.
Who am I hurting by controlling my body? No one (but me) and you can have a healthy life with an ED. A life that doesn't endanger anyone elses. But I think people see these shocking images of people like Rachael Farrokh and assume that this is the everyday ED and not an extreme outlier.
There are tons of places where you go to to see obesity glorified and people who are clinically, morbidly obese get to call themselves curvy, healthy, goddesses (because it's health at every size, unless you're skinny, then you need to eat something lol), and the same people who think we're disturbing PRAISE them.
Like, what the fuck world.

I've eaten a big meal today and yesterday so now I'm fat. To compensate I'm doing my first four-day fast. No food from lunch time today (Thursday) until lunch time Monday. That's easily twice as long as my longest fast ever.
I know I can do it. I also know halfway through, I'll be making up all kinds of bullshit excuses to eat. A lot of y'all here apparently have fasting buddies to keep you accountable so I figured I'd give it a shot. Anybody want to monitor me and yell at me and call me a fat pathetic slob?

Hi guys, so for the past month or so I've been eating somewhere around 5-700 calories/day, with about 2-3 days where I've binged to about 1200-1500 calories. I run 5 miles every morning, and sometimes hula hoop for a bit in the evenings. The problem is, my weight refuses to go down from about 115-114 pounds. It's been stuck there for the past week. Does anyone have any tips?
Also, my period is also a week late, even though all the symptoms are there and my pregnancy tests came out negative. Is this common too? Sorry for all the questions, this is all fairly different from the last time I did this d:
Edit: I was also 113 before all this went down, could this be because of bloat?

Trying to slowly work my way down from 1300 a day to 900 a day. It's been pretty rough since I binge and emotion eat. Tonight I was itching for something to distract myself from eating (I already fucked up with ice cream and drug store candy this afternoon) and decided to clean.
Yeah so, now I'm here telling you all,if you haven't done so in awhile...go clean out your fridge. I've honestly never felt so disgusted ever. I knew my roommates and I had a pretty messy fridge and probably should toss stuff out more often but jesus christ.
Not only did a burn a few cal doing it, I really feel like never eating again. Also it's sparkly clean! So triple whammy win.
That's all. Just thought I'd share. I'm kind of doing something crazy so I can't really talk to anyone else about it.

Hi everyone,
I have been dying to be skinny for a decade now. I have been stuck at 5'3.5" tall and 130lbs since I was 15. Over the years, I've tried dieting many times. I always managed to lose weight, but the most I'd ever lose was maybe 7-8 pounds, which I'd always gain back. I love to work out, but I could never get enough self control to actually restrict my eating. I know that is the reason my weight hasn't budged in so long. My goal is to be at 105-110 on average, which I think is a pretty realistic goal.
The other issue is that I've been struggling with bulimia for about 5 years now. It was really bad in 2011-2012, but I developed these horrible sharp stabbing pains that would attack at random, normally under the left side of my ribcage. I don't know if it is related to my stomach or acid or something, but I'm 99% sure it involves damage I've done to myself from purging. I've mostly stopped simply because the pain is so bad, but every now and then I'll eat a big meal and find myself purging. I know this isn't going to make me lose 15 pounds, but I still end up doing it, and it's really frustrating.
What I really need to do is figure out an eating schedule type deal. I'm normally home alone in the morning (breakfast time) and I have an hour break from work every day, so I can do what I want, but I have to eat a normal dinner. I also work with numbers a lot at work, and if I simply starve myself, my blood sugar gets low and I start making lots of mistakes. So I can't just skip meals... I need *something*, you know?
If anyone out there can help me figure out a way to limit my intake, lose actual weight and not destroy my metabolism in the process, I would freaking love you forever. I've been trying to figure this out for years, and I've always been met with failure.
Thank you!

Hello, I'm here again, and this time with a few more doubts about purging. I finally got to throw up today, it was quite easy when I saw dirt on the toilet (yuck) thanks for the tips, they were very useful, especially the hint "swallow" your fingers. But I have a few more questions, today I had only eaten a few slices of ham, and later had eaten a grated carrot, then gave me a desperate and ended up eating sweet. I tried to throw up once and failed, ate more and tried again, all in about 10 minutes 20 at most.
Finally did and I realized that the vomit came in less than what I had eaten, is this normal? I stopped because I realized I was already purging the carrot that had eaten about 3 hours before. I threw up all sweet or not? One more question, when you purge is ensuring that the calories will not count?

Exercising on no carbs is sort of difficult because you'll feel sluggish. The solution to this is to exercise on caffeine. Try diet energy drinks like Red Bull or Monster, or use diet pills that have a lot of caffeine in them. It'll make you feel like you're exercising on at least 800 calories. This way, you'll burn a ton of calories without having to actually consume that many.

I binged this morning and yesterday, and I felt terrible, but then I started running and decided that I was not going to stop until I run a half marathon. I just finished running now, and I feel really great :) I've never ran this much before, but I feel really happy that I ran this much. Anyway, I just felt like sharing this, and I guess the important thing to remember is that it's not over when you binge. You can always make it better.

I need someone I can text or PM on here to help me. I am home alone basically all day, as I live with my boyfriend and he has a full time job and I am unemployed. It is difficult for me to get back to my old level of will power. Several years ago, I ate only 400-500 cals a day, and lost 25 pounds in 2 months. I was living with my parents then, mom freaked out and threatened hospital. I'm now a disgusting 5'4 and 150lbs. I can't seem to land a job (even with a master's degree) and I am incredibly depressed. I am hideous. My gorgeous, loving, wonderful boyfriend doesn't deserve an ugly fat lump like me. He deserves a beautiful, perfect girlfriend. I just need help to get back to my old ways. I am a 24 year old American female, if that makes a difference to anyone.

I binged on at least a 1000 calories. I purged half, and my mom caught me purging. I should have locked the door, but I guess I was really panicking and forgot. She heard me, opened the door, then started yelling at me for a few minutes, then left and called someone. I'm really tired right now, and my wifi on my phone keeps fucking dropping, which annoys me more than this for some reason. I'm nervous about what my mom might do now that she knows I purge. She knew I was anorexic, and that I relapsed, but she never knew that I purged. It's not a good time for her to be finding out just because of recent family drama. I don't know what to do right now. Things are changing a lot around me, but I don't want them to. This might change things and make her react badly. I don't turn 18 soon enough, so I don't know what I'm going to do in the mean time.

My birthday is in a few weeks. I will be turning 24 years old. I'm afraid of getting fat not of my own volition but simply due to age. My mother was a little taller than me and I remember how, despite how she was always thin, she had a large belly and large upper arm fat deposits. She hated them a lot.
My grandmother too, was my height and weight when she was my age. She loved to tell me that. "I used to look just like you!" but in her 50s her weight fluctuated in the extremes despite her diet and exercise levels never really changing (she retired early and so wasn't living off of a lot. She ate okay and spent most of her time in her garden, but never could manage her weight). I remember watching her get dressed in the mornings, struggling to pull up control tights and put on her girdles, and then put on her suits, and then STILL be fat.
I feel like there's a clock ticking somewhere and my time is slowly running out.

So I'm going off to summer camp in a couple of weeks. When I'm here, we will all have breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the cafeteria. There won't be anything for me to binge/snack on, no way to satisfy my cravings, and the food is free, so my parents will not know that I'm not eating. This is a wonderful opportunity and I'm not experienced enough to know how to handle it. It is a three week overnight camp. Should I completely fast? Or just keep it low cal? Any specific diets? What? I really don't want to waste this opportunity. It won't come again. Ideally, I want to come home and see an enormous drop in weight. Thank You!!

I don't make a lot of money and definitely have a spending habit. My two biggest character flaws in terms of hindering my personal advancement are binge/bored/emotional eating and also shopping. I'm not overwhelmed by credit card debt, but I have definitely been irresponsible. I'm trying to work with myself on fixing both of these things.
While I'm at my job I have a habit of overeating simply due to stress. I work in a mall so there's tons of junk food options everywhere. Whenever I look through my bank statements at the end of the month I'm amazed at how much I spend on food. I've decided to limit myself to just water and ginger while at work and to stop carrying my wallet with me while at work to quit the habit.
I think they go hand in hand pretty well:

I'd been doing pretty good, you know only eating fruit and vegetables mostly and only a few bites here and there. But then tonight my friend came over and brought KFC. And I ate it, I got rid of it as soon as I could but I still feel bad that I ate it. :(

Like what do you eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and what do you do for exercise? How long have you followed this routine, and how much weight have you lost so far?
For example, I always eat whole wheat bread in the morning with either egg whites or a banana. For lunch, I eat a kale, spinach, or arugula salad with salt and pepper. For dinner, I'll eat something under 500 calories. I exercise in between lunch and dinner at 2:30 pm. This decreases my appetite at dinner for some reason. I've lost almost 20 lb doing this in 1.5 months (I binged a few times though). I stopped counting calories because I felt it made me obsessive. I now just estimate the amount of calories or use what I already know.

I had to go to a lunch. I didn't plan on binging, but I had too many calories already for breakfast... I don't know. I think everything was like 600-700 calories. It wasn't really a binge in the typical way, but it was in the sense that I couldn't really stop. I didn't eat any more than anyone else, but it was a lot of calories for me. I think I'm going to go run like 6 miles and try to get rid of the calories before they become fat. Anyone know if I'll gain weight from this? It should hopefully be okay.

I know that what I'm doing is not sustainable. I dislike the feeling of being tired and pissed off and sad, but I'm at peace with myself when I restrict.
It doesn't matter what happens to me, I'll always be okay. I know, logically, that this is unhealthy, and I'll have to stop eventually, but I don't care. I need to see the numbers drop, the gap between my thighs widen, the number of ribs increase. I love it because it's mine.
If I can't have anything, and I can't succeed in anything, and I know I'm nothing, I'll still always have numbers on the scale telling me that I do have a will, and I can make my own choices.
I'm in a good place right now. I'm not binging or purging. I'm not actually happy, but I feel okay.

The whitening strips that you can buy at the pharmacy are vile. They have this disgusting plastic mint taste.
Therefore, they kill appetite pretty well. Even if you don't mind the taste, you can't eat for like half hour after you apply the strips. They're also a decent excuse for not eating.

I'm not quite sure how this works, but I think when you push your body even more, it makes your body release endorphins.
This only works if your legs are tired, but your lungs and heart feel okay. You can get rid of the fatigue in your legs by running to almost full sprint for maybe 15 seconds until your lungs hurt, then slow to your original pace to catch your breath. No matter what, don't walk. Walking causes like a sort of a reset in your body and will make you feel tired.

---
First, you shouldn't purge because it's addicting and doesn't get rid of all the calories, and the average bulimic is overweight. So purging should be like last resort rather than a way to lose weight.
Now if you must start purging, you should first try purging in the shower. The running water and the warmth makes it a lot nicer than just standing over the toilet. Water on your hands also help. Just makes sure there's no hair in the drain to catch food particles.
The reason why you shouldn't purge in the shower all the time is because you will eventually clog the drain. One time is okay, but not all the time. Also, use common sense. Purging chocolate or ice cream in the shower is okay. Purging pizza is not.
In the end, just stick to restricting if only because it's more effective.

Painting takes a while to do, and you cannot possibly eat while you paint. I oil paint, and the fumes kill appetite, and I'll paint for hours. If you're about to binge, just start painting. A great way to do this is to oil paint in layers so that you can always return to the canvas at any time, and paint another layer whenever you feel like you're going to binge.

In the morning, I'm really chill and unemotional. At night, I get so tired, but I can't sleep. I randomly get really upset, and I'll cry for no reason sometimes. I usually distract myself at night with reddit or Netflix or some book so as to not think about myself or about life. Anyone else experience this? It's not depression or anything since I'm fine through the day but just not at night.

~~i *am* still enormous my bmi is healthy~~
intermediate goal outfit was a pair of jegging/skinny jeans and a medium hello kitty tshirt. This now fits. I can't stand wearing it because I can only see the 220+lb whale I used to be, but if I pretend I'm someone else it fits.
I'm 5'9/165 clearly I can't be tiny and thin and fragile. The best I can shoot for is androgyny and maybe /r/hardbodies appropriate, yet I want to be like, androgynous thinspo.
it was a midline goal but.
like.
I'm floating having no idea what to do from here. New territory, new waters. lol, fuck.
My family is overall enormous, my mother has felt I'm getting too thin since I got below 200lb - yes, seriously - and here I am wanting to end in the <110lb range.
Do I set new weight goals? Measurements? I don't even know what measurements will come with what weights, I haven't been this thin since middle school.
Example: Current measurements as of literally now are 39-30-43. Shoulders 19" across back (yes, I double checked). Fingers overlap around 6" wrists easily. A 28" waist is totally possible, but what about 24"? Can I get my hips down to 29" or is that witchcraft? I know I have to kill lean body mass if I want to lose the volume of weight I'd like to but can I actually maintain strength?
blah blah blah, starvation mode, yak yak yak "you're pretty how you aaaareeeeeeee", \*charlie brown teacher noises\* girls shouldn't be buff.
I'm not really sure what I want/need to be doing to get where I want to be.
proana/proed forums are weird for this, I feel like what I want is so far off the norm but diet forums think I'm killing myself and I don't want to "recover".
I assume by how the rules are phrased I'm allowed to call myself fat.
If anyone's curious, my username is a reference to the Angels in welcome to night vale.

Since it's Saturday, how was everyone's week?
I've actually had a really good week for the most part. It was completely binge free, and I had no cravings whatsoever. I think the reason for this is because I exercise in the middle of the day, and that always makes me lose my appetite at night, so I don't binge at night. I haven't checked my weight yet because I'm sort of scared of what I might see, but I'm sort of looking forward to it because this week, two different people said I looked thinner :) and like not in a just nice way, in like a genuine "oh, you lost weight."

Everyone thinks that I'm just obsessed with people finding me attractive, and that I'm vain and stupid. But I don't care what anyone thinks of me. *I* think I'm fat. *I* think I'm disgusting. I look in the mirror, and I wish I could torch the fat off my body. I don't care how many people tell me that I'm not fat, because I am fat. I'm not fucking blind. I can see it. I'm so sick of people pretending to be polite and making pity compliments. I make them all the time, I would know what they are. I am ugly, but at least I'll be thin one day. At least my ugliness won't take up as much space. I'll be thin and fragile and somewhat beautiful in my body at least.

My circulation should be pretty good considering how much I run. Every time I restrict though, after the 6th "good day", the bottom part of my fingernails turn bluish and when I lean on my arm for a few minutes, then lean off it, I feel this like rush of coldness go toward my hand. Is this just me? I've heard of the blue fingernails but not the rush of coldness.

I just did today, and I'm really surprised that it happened. Does anyone else do this? I hear that some people can. It's easier with more food, but I was able to do it with just soup.

I've been on a fast since Tuesday at 12am, only consuming water and decaffeinated tea and coffee. Around the 39 hour mark I experienced severe stomach cramping and nausea, which ended when I threw up what seemed to be all the fluids I had taken in today. (On top of that, I couldn't make it to the restroom in time and had to find a way to sneak my office trash bag to the dumpster this afternoon seeing as it was full of regurgitated water & raspberry herbal tea. ew.)
Has anyone else experienced this or have any tips on how to avoid upset stomach/vomiting while fasting?
Thank you xx

I feel like it's more helpful to weigh myself weekly instead of daily. When I weigh myself everyday, and I mess up, I act like the day isn't recoverable. But if it's weekly, I tell myself that I can still stop. But at the same time, if I mess up in the beginning of the week, then the rest of the week is sort of shitty. Anyway try this or do this? I've only done this for about a month.

Hi! I run a lot in order to burn calories(5 miles/8 km per day) and have a lot of calf muscle(I used to walk up a lot of hills). I'm just curious, as I lose weight, will the muscle shrink or stay the same? I kinda want smaller calves to be proportionate to the rest of my body...

Hunger is like a burn, and I've come to like the feeling of it. I'll go to bed terribly hungry, but waking up, I get the greatest feeling. I wake up feeling as if I weigh nothing. I feel thinner, and I look thinner too (until I start eating). I feel pure, and I'm happy.

I don't mix foods. If there's pasta with some sauce on it, I need to smear off the sauce before I eat it. The same goes for bread with butter/jam/etc on it. For salads that have carrots and other leaves mixed in, I need to eat each individual thing separately. So if it's kale mixed with arugula and carrots, I eat all the kale first, then all the arugula, then all the carrots.

Becoming vegetarian or vegan is a really great way to avoid eating certain high calorie food groups. Vegan, in particular, eliminates most desert groups as many deserts have dairy in it.
Also, for some reason you'll rarely binge on these food groups. I've been vegetarian for six years, and even when I binge, I won't binge on meat. I think it's just a mental trick. I convince myself that meat is absolutely forbidden, and my body won't crave it even if I'm really hungry.
I'm going to try to become a vegan in order to eliminate even more foods to binge on. Honestly, food and cravings are all just in the mind. Becoming vegetarian is just a way for me to trick my mind into outlawing certain foods.

I realize today that eating is an addiction for me and probably for a lot of people. I tell myself that I'll only eat one bite, but after that one bite, it becomes another, and then 10 minutes later, it'll be a full 800 calorie binge. A lot of alcoholics do something similar with drinking where they tell themselves that they'll only have one drink. So I think it's important to remember that it's never just one bite. Just thinking, "I'll have one bite" is losing control. The only way to stay in control is to realize that you're not going to stop at one and that you're deluding yourself by saying that you can stop because you won't.

Hey everyone, I'm so excited right now; I just weighed myself and found that I'm under 100! I'm 99.4 right now, so I think in the morning I'll be somewhere between 98.7 and 99.2. Anyway, I just wanted to share that somewhere. I haven't been double digits for a few years now, so it's really nice to see it especially since I was sort of plateaued. It might probably just be water weight, but it's still so nice to finally see it!

What did you use as fake blood? I don't want to cut myself or anything. I was thinking of just using pig's blood, idk.

So hey, is 8pm, your not tired, just got some bad news, and find yourself in the kitchen pantry- put down the food first! Here are some things to prevent a binge.
1. Drink water/flavored tea (I like peppermint)
2. Brush your teeth- I find having clean teeth make me reluctant to eat more
3. Leave the kitchen (in general, make a routine and eat only in one place in your house- living room, kitchen bar, dining room, depends on you)
4. Distract yourself- I like reading, making bracelets, coloring books, go for a walk
5. Chew something very low cal- some people like coffee beans, some like gum, I like mint leaves
After the urges have passed, think about why you were going to binge. Are you bored, sad, is it FOMO?
