JUST BINGED SO BAD! should I starve myself tomorrow to even it out!?
Yeah, "even out" one mistake with another....that's brilliant. Did you ever think there may be a reason you are binging? Sounds to me like your body is being starved of energy and finally fought back. Are you restricting calories? If so this is what happens. No one can restrict calories far below what the body needs. The body fights back every time....it has nothing to do with being weak. Diets/ Caloric restriction don't work.....they never have worked and they never will work. If you are smart you will forget what you have been doing and learn to eat properly. p.s. Life only sucks if you don't know how to live.
How does skinny-shaming affect people? Do they start seeing them being thin as a problem or something they don't like about themselves?
Skinny shaming has never ended for me. I just learnt to deal with it somehow.I have always been underweight. My height is 170 cm and my current weight is 47 kg. I have never weighted more than 50 kg. I am naturally skinny. I am reminded of that regularly. A new acquaintance within a few hours of talking to me: “Oh you are so thin!” EVERY parent of every friend of mine when I come to their house: “Oh you are so thin!” Relatives seeing me after long time: “Oh you are so thin!”Sometimes these comments are said in disgusted voice, sometimes with envy, sometimes with care (“You will look healthier if you put on some weight!”). In the end of the day they all freak me out because they point out my body as if it is thing, something everybody can discuss freely. I am so much more than my body. And I really do not think that my humble figure deserves that much concern. I am healthy, I eat and exercise properly. I am OK!It took me long time to distance myself and my own self awareness from what is being said about my body. As a teenager I felt constant need to apologize as if my thinness was a disease threatening people. It is a hurting discovery that, despite the fact that I feel so good and comfortable in my body, people are willing to point out how wrong my body is. This shame of my own body tortured me for many years and I am still over coming it in some or other way.What helps? Exercise certainly does. When you see how you become stronger, more flexible and active, you care so much less what others say. You see your beauty with your own eyes, anything else hardly matters. I also filter my friend circle. If, for whatever reason, somebody cannot stop talking about my weight, I distance myself from them. Mature and polite people do not behave like those. I want to be with friends who love and appreciate me. Anyone else may leave.As a thin person for long time I thought that other people had some right to discuss my body. I thought if I looked so weird, of course, it was okay for others to mention it. I realized it is wrong. Nobody has a right to judge my face, my weight, my body. I am the one who decides what is good for me, not they. Since I understood this simple truth it’s been much easier to reduce skinny shaming in my life.
I'm starving myself?
I just started starving myself yesterday, and I haven't eaten since last nights dinner. All I have been consuming is water. There are 3 reasons why. 1. I feel like I'm too fat. 2. People bully me on my weight sometimes. 3. I feel like I'm not good enough for people like my crush. I told my friend earlier and she called me a dumba**. I just told my crush those reasons an he's telling me to eat. Everyone that I've told is telling me to eat or else I'll die. I know I'll die, but the urge to not eat is eating me. What do I do?
How do I get a healthy relationship with food?
I think the best way to do it is to actively change the way you view food.There are no foods that are ‘unhealthy,’ just like there are no foods that are ‘healthier’ than others. All food is good food. Make yourself believe that. ANY food has a place in a ‘healthy diet.’Whenever you start to have fear-mongering thoughts about food (“OMG this will go straight to my hips!” “I want chocolate, but I really should have kale.” “Ugh, I’ve been so bad weekend, all that wine and cheese!”), force perspective. No food, in-and-of-itself, is inherently bad. It’s all good, in moderation.Just remember that it took years for your brain to have a bad relationship with food. It will take time to fix that relationship. But be patient with yourself, and you’ll see the rewards in less than a month’s time.The most helpful thing that I repeat to myself? “It doesn’t matter what you eat in this moment, so long as you maintain a balanced lifestyle. Everything in moderation makes for a well-rounded diet, and a well-rounded person.”
If I go from eating 500 calories to eating 1200 will I gain weight?
I want to be as compassionate as possible in this answer, because I’m aware that a person interested in the question as stated may have a problem with their relationship with food and body image. At 1200 calories, you will starve to death more slowly than at 500. A tiny adult female would squeak by at 1500–1700 Cal, with little to spare for walking around. A moderately sized (5′4 and 150lb) female with a typical, relatively sedentary lifestyle would maintain at about 2200 - 2400. If that seems like a huge number, please consider talking to a doctor about your feelings and lifestyle.
OMG Is BULIMIA addictive? I NEED HELP with a MAJOR decision NOW!!!?
it all started about 6 months ago when i started taking birth control pill. And its as if the pounds just started pasting itself to my mis-section and thighs. I tried excersising and dieting but nothing is working. Then out of no where my boyfriend and my parents started attacking me about my weight. saying how it seems as if i dont care that im gaingin weight. But they know nothing they dont fricken know how i cry myself to sleep cause there words hurt soo much. So i recently stopped taking the pill and now my sex life has decreased we tried using a condom but he cant stay hard. Im going to admit that im somewhat self consious so i think that its because im not a physically sttractive as i used to be. I've been thinking about this for a while and we're going to Europe this summer and i want to loose 40-50 lbs so badly. I've been cosidering making my self throw up. Just until i loose those extra pounds. But I wanted your advice to see if there are any alternatives. and if there airn't.
I ate so much today and now i feel fat ?!?
Okay honey ignore that dude's advice and don't try to make yourself throw up that'll only lead to teeth decay and bulimia(both unhealthy). First of all you can't get fat in a matter of a day. To get fat you need more of a time span like a couple of weeks with the same bad eating habits throughout those weeks for fat to build up. Its all in the mind, you feel guilty and therefore you think you're fatter. Second of all, you are just 13 you still are growing so don't be so harsh on yourself. Enjoy your life and food while you can. Of course dont over do it either. So you messed up today, it's no big deal there's always tomorrow you can be healthy once again. Trust me I know how you feel. I have been trying to eat healthy since new years and yesterday I ate like 18 cream filled cookies, dairy queen, 3 cups of ice cream and I felt fat and disgusted....today wasn't all that good either...truth is restraining yourself sometimes backfires so instead let yourself enjoy these foods from time to time because if not you'll stuff yourself when you get the chance. But as long as you exercise and eat healthy it's fine to moderately eat junk food. Go to sleep and don't worry tomorrow will be a new day(: Oh and in case you're interested in workouts you should check out blogilates.com there's some really fun workouts the girl who makes the vids is like your workout buddy that keeps pushing you!
