I have always thought of myself as skinny, and have always been told that I was skinny. I have had 3 children, but after my third, it was so hard to lose the extra weight. I really dont feel good about myself because I still have an extra few pounds on my stomach and hips. Recently, I started smoking again because I knew it would help me lose weight. I started out at 127lbs in July and now weigh 113lbs. I get an overwhelming feeling of being hungry, but when I go to eat, I'll eat only a small portion of my food then I begin to feel sick. I do not usually throw up, but I get to the point where I am very nauseated, and gag. For your experiances, does this sound like any kind of disorder?
Thanks for replying to my post. As to my age and height I am 5'5" and I am 28 yrs. of age. I know I am not excessively skinny, but my husband makes many comments on me starving myself and becoming skinnier than I should be. Its rather hard for me to go to the doctor anymore. I am a little busy bee. With all my children and husband, I just feel like I have the time. I am going through a state of depression right now (problems with husband and immigration)but I have never felt like this even when I was younger and depressed. I weigh myself everyday thinking I have lost some weight but I just dont see it coming off. Now I have thinking of excersizing to see if the extra pounds will come off. Today when I went to lunch I was fairly hungry. I ate a few bites of my food and then it was like my body was telling me I was full and I was trying to force myself to eat. It didnt even look like I had ate anything off my plate. I dunno, It may be just mind control, but with your words and thoughts I am going to try to go to the doctor before it does get out of control.
Hi Sweetart, I used to have Bulimia. I had it for about 5 years. I got better and stopped vomiting about a year ago. However, I think that I may have some form of eating disorder also. Although I don't vomit anymore, I'm very obsessed about my weight. I'm 5'1 and I weigh 110 lbs. I want to lose another 5 to 10 pounds. I tried starving myself, but that didn't work. I would automatically either throw up my food or the food wouldn't stay down - something like what you're going through. The best method to lose weight is to exercise and have 3 healthy meals a day. So far this has worked for me. I haven't lost any weight, but my clothes are getting looser. Anyhow, I think that you do have an eating disorder because I feel the same way about a lot of things as you do. I hate thinking about my weight or food constantly. I just wish that I can have a free mind to think about other things. Cause life is more than just calories and pounds and food. You need to gradually start eating again. Otherwise, I'm afraid the worst can happen. Feel free to email me anytime. Take care, Cindy
