Consumed...?

Question

this is a little embarassing but, I wanna lose weight badly, i'm following a very calorie restricted diet...and exercising a couple hour a day ontop of the 6 times a week of hockey.

I'm told i'm healthy, but my gym said I need to lose 25-30 lbs and they said I had 38% body fat. I can't help but see this large figure infront of me

But I can't help it...I feel so consumed with this...I'm taking a few things to try and help...diet pills and a couple of intestinal cleansers a day. I don't have an eating disorder, and I know theres no way i'm gonna get on. I've got more control then that.

But i feel so consumed...I wanna lose the weight so badly...but I don't know why...and I feel myself getting mroe and more consumed each day. That thought of consumption scares me....does that make sense?

I don't think its early stages of anorexia, i like food sorta, and again, i've got more control then that

Answer 1

Yes, but nothing yo worru about...

Answer 2

I hope you don't think this is nosey, but I saw in another post you said you weigh 145lb and are 5ft3/5ft4 and I also answered another of your questions where you said you had measurements of 37-28-36. Well, I'm only 5ft2 with measurements 35-27-38, so not far of yours and I only have 25% body fat. So, I don't think your body fat percentage would be as high as they are saying at the gym, especially if you work out reguarly and play a lot of sports.

I can't believe the gym said you need to lose 25lb-30lb, you will be way too thin. Some of those gym instructors are crazy. I know one girl that had 21% body fat and this gym instructor said she should lose 10lb, although she was practically underweight! I'd definitely get a second opinion and from a medical professional, not a gym instructor.

Take care : )

I would stop the diet pills and cleansers. You should not need them and they will mess up your metabolism.

The calorie controlled diet , if its reasonable for your age , height and weight will get you the result you want.

Treat the weight issue as a long term project , dont weigh yourself every day because your weight can change by a few pounds due to when you last ate, water retention and building muscle.

Losing 30 pounds should take about 6 months , maybe a bit less.

Answer 4

I hope you arent anorexic or i will feel really bad for handing you the key to your weight loss problem. I take a product called phentermine. Its a diet pill that at first my Dr was prescribing. I lost 35 lbs in 4 months. You can order without a prescription at www.customhrt.com, click other treatments, then go to weight loss and order costs about 100 dollars for 3 months. I might warn you though when I stopped taking it I experienced a period of depression and Im not even sure it was related, let me know how it works out!!!

Answer 5

stop taking pills and 'cleansers', they waste money and don't help that much. any improvement they do add is lost when you stop taking them [so high cost to keep that going]. sounds like you exercise enough, maybe too much [depends on how active each activity is]. stop worrying specifically about how many calories you eat, just do what you can to eat a healthy but enjoyable diet. stop listening to the gym, its a one-size fits all plan. doubt you want to hear this but perhaps your body isn't made to be a pole, not exactly a bad thing. i think that once you learn to relax and enjoy your life more [by not being stressed by it all] you should lose the excess [what your body isn't made for]. good luck.
