i am learning about anorexia in health class and the more i learn about it, the more fascinating it gets to me. i am overweight and i want to loose some and anorexia just seems the way to go. i know there is terrible risks and my mind says no but my body says yes! and i always think i can handle it. is something wrong with thinking that way?

JustAsking asked:


I just found out recently from my sister in law that my husband has had bulimia issues since his teenage years. I often see vomit remnants in the toilet and he goes to the bathroom directly after eating. I confronted him about it, and obviously he denies it because 1) it’s embarrassing for a guy to admit and 2) he doesn’t wanna stop cause he loves eating.

How do I help him? He has issues with weed and alcohol too, I don’t know what’s going on.

ahhhh!! i ate so much today. i had some cheese curls, an egg, cheese, and bacon bagel sandwich, a protein bar, a sleeve of do-si-do girl scout cookies, some sun chips, a bowl of chicken and dumpling dinner, 2 rolls with butter, cheddar chex mix, some peanuts and cereal out of the box. i’ve been pretty good the past few days, but today i just binged. i don’t really know if i have a question or not. i’m just basically wondering why i do this and how to stop this and get in control. it seems like i am always either wanting food or hating myself for eating like a pig. i need to stop this!!!
I am thin, but I really fear getting fat. I usually try to eat healthy, but sometimes I feel like I just lose control.
I also am on zoloft but i don’t think it really helps me in this aspect.

I’m not bulimic nor do I have an eating disorder, but i was just wondering how shoving your fingers down your throat makes you throw up loads of food? Usually people with bulimia binge eat, then they make themselves sick… wouldn’t they choke on the food though? I did once go through a stage of making myself sick, but that lasted for about a month and i didn’t get anywhere… sure i lost some weight but half the time i would actually choke on the food. Weird.

Mike J asked:


I have a friend of mine (aged 20) who was ***** when she was young and developed bulimia, which has lasted 8 years, to present.

She’s currently going to a new age style clinic which employs no actual medical doctors, and I don’t feel that she’s getting the treatment that she needs. Where would be the best place for her to get treatment? She’s in the Topeka area, but if she needs to travel to Kansas City, that is still an option.

Eating disorders affect up to 24 million Americans, most of them girls and young women. For National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, Dr. Jennifer Ashton talks with Project heal’s Liana Rosenman about her organization’s mission and her personal story.

*cherry*tree* asked:


Hi
I have a friend (male) and I am really worried about him, and think that he is either on the brink of suffering from anorexia, or is currently suffering from it. I have talked to him about his eating habits before, and it hasn’t made any difference. I am going to try to talk to him about it tomorrow, has anyone got any ideas how I could help him (i.e what to say)?
And also, just to check, what are the symptoms of anorexia? (I am pretty sure i have then right, but just to be sure)

Any help is much appreciated!

Kristen C asked:


Okay, so I don’t eat breakfast or lunch ever, but I do eat dinner and maybe dessert. I exercise A LOT, and I have a fear of gaining weight.
I am now 13 years old, I weigh 86 pounds, and I am 5 foot 1
Do you have any personal expiriences with anorexia? Do you know any symptoms of anorexia? What is your opinion on the way I eat?

I have found out thru my journal that I am a binge eater…any suggestions on how to change that behaviour would be appreciated.

I know that because of Independance Day, I’m going to be eating a HUGE amount of food at my neighbors house this afternoon. I just made chocolate chip cookies and rice krispy treats to bring. They are going to have cake and puddings as well as some fattening potato salads, bean salads, burgers, and unfortunately way more than that! They have a pool…but it might start to thunder and lightning when we get there, so we might not be able to get any exercise. What should I do to not feel as guilty about pigging out this one day!?
I’ve been eating way healthier for the past week and a half- finally starting to lose weight. Will I gain it back if I eat poorly today, but go right back on track tomorrow?

P.S. I walked my dogs 1.2 miles today, so I did get SOME exercise.
I’m not heavy either- I’m 5’4″ and 112 lbs
Even though quite a few people commented already- please keep commenting! I check every single one, and I still need help so I’d appreciate even more answers!!! Thanks!!
