Large pieces of cake, whole packages of cheese or a quart of ice cream are gone overnight.
My 16-year-old daughter is really concerned about her weight, but she does not look fat. She and I live alone in an apartment. I have been worried about her because some food I buy disappears quickly. Large pieces of cake, whole packages of cheese or a quart of ice cream are gone overnight. Should...
How is the appropriate calorie level is calculated?
I am curious to know how the appropriate calorie level is calculated. I have been struggling with bulimia for nearly 2 years and feel like I am gradually getting a hold of it. I want to try eating normally but still aim for some weight loss as I am over fat (BMI) and in...
If I can begin eating at a calorie level close to normal I may be able to lose weight slowly as I am active.
Thanks, Joanne for a quick and helpful answer. I did check again without estimating activity levels. This seems to be what other answers have been based on. I didn't realize that activity made such a difference. I am quite active, so if I can begin eating at a calorie level that is closer to...
I am a recovering bulimic and am in fear of how my diet affects my life.
I was surfing the net trying to find all the info I could find on hypoglycemia.
I am a recovering bulimic. Both my parents are alcoholics. My father is a "rageaholic". I think this stems from a sugar disorder. I am also in recovery for money issues. I am debt free, but I still use...
You said that vomiting does not work for weight control then why do I gain weight during recovery?
Hi, I'm a 22 year old bulimic. I appreciate your site and have read a lot of the info on eating disorders. I've alternated between anorexia and bulimia (mostly bulimia) for 6 years.
My questions are regarding recovery. You said that vomiting does not work for weight control, then why do I always gain weight...
In the last month, I have been exercising, taking pills, laxatives, throwing up, and doing all kinds of crazy things.
Hi, I'm a 16-year-old student in Guatemala. I need to tell someone about my eating disorder and I spotted your site in my research. Well, I have been bulimic for a time now. Sometimes I used to throw up, but that was a long time ago. Then I started to exercise compulsively etc. In...
How can I speed up my metabolism without a lot of weight gain?
I am a 28-year-old woman who has anorexia and bulimia. I started these behaviors when I was 16 years old and was recovered until last year. Last December I fell into the terrible anorexic trap again and lost 30 pounds, which only put me at 100 pounds (I'm 5 feet 5 inches). Luckily I...
I have asthma and need an effective method to lose weight instead of binging / purging.
I have a very complicated tale to tell. Firstly, I'm a 19-year-old male. I have always been a finicky eater and food has always ruled my life. My mother and my younger sister both lost weight very fast by not eating. I did the same.
I didn't eat anything for nearly 5 months and when...
What is bulimia? Is it the same as anorexia? Can a person have both?
What is bulimia? Is it the same as anorexia? Can a person have both?
Bulimia is characterized by binge eating, which is eating a lot of food in a short period of time (usually less than two hours). Ninety percent of the time, a person with bulimia follows this with vomiting to rid herself/himself of...
I have an employee who exercises at lunch and after work.
I have an office manager who started working for me less than 3 months ago. Right off the bat, she started taking 1 1/2 to 2-hour lunches so she could run. This is after she worked out in the morning for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Then she leaves promptly at 5:55 P.M....
