Am i really anorexic?

Question

Over the past few months i have hardly been eating anything:
Breakfast: Apple
Lunch: Tomatoes
Supper: Salad

I do this because i want to lose weight, but then at the same time i kind of want people to think i am anorexic, because i want the attention. I got the attention i wanted and tried to eat more but now i am in too deep.

Please can you not just say that i am stupid and this is all my fault because i know that and i am trying to fix it...i just want to know whether you think i am anorexic?

I still don't eat anything...

Thank you.

Answer 1

Darling, anorexics don't eat at all. What you have done is limited your caloric intake, drastically. No one can function on what your menu consists of. You won't have energy to get through the day, and your immune system will get weak. It's not worth it to be sick just to be thin. A reasonable diet and excercise are the keys to losing weight. One suggestion I have for you is to drink a big glass of milk before each meal. It will fill your belly and you won't need to eat much more, and you will not be losing out on any of the nutrients and minerals you need to survive. Please take my advice and eat reasonable meals, perhaps take a run to the organic section of the grocery store and buy from that department. Good luck to you.

Wow, this all sounds so familiar. .I AM SO IMPRESSED BY YOUR HONESTY I am not sure that I am able to help, but I did go through a very similar thing. You do need to find a rofessional you can talk to, therapy is a good idea, you may need to get some issues resolved. I did not eat for a long time for the same reasons, and then I was hooked and could not stop. I am all better now, and I have even had a baby- a healthy girl! You can do so much better than this. You feel sick because you dont eat, but you are afraid you will feel sick both physically and mentally if you do... Please get help, bones arent sexy. Men want a girl with a nice booty, some boobs, and hips they can grab on to. MAke yourself better, and you will be happier, look better, and feel awesome. I will be thinking about you.

My best friend in high school was anorexic. I don't know if you are a full blown anorexic now, but you're probably walking a very fine line. And trust me you do not want to cross it. My friends hair started falling out, and she started to turn yellow because her liver was damaged. Then she got sucidial because she was so far gone that even with medical attention she had a lot of trouble starting to eat again. You need to examine why you feel you need attention, because once you figure that out you might be able to figure the hole eating thing out. Maybe you should think about counseling.

You haven't given us your weight and age so we cant say if you're anoerexic but it sounds like you are. Start eating normally again and when you want to diet again, here are some healthy tips:

First and Best Way: Excersize!!!!!!!!!!! You need to excersize atleast 1 hour a day and I would say Running/Jogging is the best way to go about it. But personally, I hate that so I do jumping jacks, skip rope, rollerskate, and run up-and-down my stairs. Any type of rigorous, systematic movement can be considered excersize

Second Way: Reduce your intake of highly saturated fats! Stop eating those artery-clogging french fries, chicken wings, etc. It's okay to eat them once a week but don't pig out on them. If you normally order a Large Fries, then order Medium one next time.

Third Way: Reduce your intake of Meat Products. That way, you save animals and help benefit your health. It's true that meat has protein and iron, but you can get iron supplements and protein from vegeterian food. I'm not saying you should have a vegeterian diet from now on (even tho I am a vegeterian); I'm just saying you should reduce your intake of meat. So if you eat meat everyday, cut it down to three days a week.

Fourth Way: Eat your fruits and vegetables. I eat three fruits and three vegetables everyday and I think that has worked for me pretty well (I'm 100 pounds ..n no I'm not anoerexic (did I spell that right?)) Anyways, urge your parents to buy more fruit and veggies and include them in your dinner. Even if you don't want to eat as many fruits and veggies as I do, you should atleast have two fruits and two veggies in your diet EACH day. There is good vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, water, and other stuff in there that helps you lose weight.

Fifth Way: Water is a natural appetite suppressant, so developing a good water drinking habit can be a long-term aid in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Doctor F. Batmanghelidj MD, author of "Your Body's Many Cries For Water" says most times your “hunger” is your body asking for water – not food. It's also important to remember that when the body is dehydrated, fat cells get "rubbery" and cannot be easily metabolized. This means that it's harder to lose when you don't drink your water.

Good luck with that and trust me you can get out of this habit any time you want to. It's never too late

Answer 5

you should start eating right now, go to the kitchen and make a sandwich for yourself. Really, if you don't start eating now it will become a real problem, if not that it already is. By the sound of it you're at the verge of becoming anorexic. If you still don't eat out of your own will go see a doctor.

Answer 6

Well I've been in this situation before all i do is try to eat once i got the food in my mouth i started eating more and it worked and now i'm happy for myself and i don't think your anorexic my mom says i'm just going through some grouth spurt and it wears of in about a week.

Answer 7

well from what you said, i would say yes... i kno a few people who are too. and they are also trying not to look so much like it.. i think you should not skip any meals enjoy ur life.. eat... and if you do not want to gain weight then just exercise alot go to the gym, or enter a program were they help you stay thin but r eating all the different foods u want to.. good luck!

Answer 8

Have you stopped eating because you were told that you are fat ? Perhaps you should schedule an appointment with your health care provider to rule out a physical cause for your loss of appetite. No one who cares about you should call you stupid, or blame you for what is happening. do not blame yourself , but be responsible only you can get help as needed.

Answer 9

Yes you are anorexic and you are also very sick both physically and mentally. YOu need to see your doc and get the help you need. You need a complete physical with lab work to see how much permanent damage if any you have done. Good Luck.

Answer 10

Im not too fond on the anorexia topic, but if you want to lose weight, i suggest exersizing and watching how much and what you eat.
