But it's working!

You can sustain this, can you? 'Cos as soon as you start eating normally again, the weight will go back on.

I know, but I can be incredibly disciplined when it comes to food. I'm not that bothered about food anyway so I think I can sustain it (maybe I will start eating a bit more) for a long period. I just have like a fear of anything fat-based or oily - like I would refuse to have caesar dressing on salad because it's got parmesan in - I'd have balsamic vinegar or honey/mustard instead.

Well you're a grown up, it's up to you what you eat, but this isn't healthy! :smile:

That's totally the point though - not everyone can eat loads of high calorie food and remain slim. I have quite a slow metabolism so always am careful to eat as little as possible - I don't wana turn into humpty dumpty!

Yeah, for now. 500 calories was all that i would let myself eat for about 6months-a year and i was so ill. My skin was dreadful, I had no energy - I was like a zombie. Try and take it up a bit, maybe a hundred calories or so more every few days to get your bodies used to it - if you really want to not eat that much then thats your choice and i respect that, but if you dont want to end up landed in an EDU like I did and force-fed then restrict sensibly, if there is such a thing. You can lose weight more effectively by eating a few more calories, trust me!

Last year I went through a period of eating very little, not because I didn't want to eat but because I was just so so busy that meals became unimportant. In the end I became ill and was in bed for a week because eating so little meant I became very run down. Not good. And the less I ate the less I wanted to eat because my body became used to it. Now I am very careful and make sure that even If I am busy I eat something..

Not really..I just try to make sure I get to the gym about 3 times a week. I don't do it to stay slim as such but I just love exercise and how it makes me feel so great. I actually find that not caring about how much I eat has helped me...you know all that stuff they say about having a positive view on food.

I always find that I eat LOADS compared to friends when we go out for the day on trips. I will have loads of food and eat a massive lunch whereas my friend will eat a packet of crisps over the whole day..that was an example from when I went to an uni open day with a friend. I felt like such a pig!!

See, people have this myth that anorexics don't eat - they do, just certain "safe" foods and in certain quantities. You can be any size and still have an eating disorder - if you find that it's really affecting your life then it might be worthwhile going to see your GP who can refer you to a specialist if they think you have a problem.

Yeah pretty much, I just have learnt how to eat enough too keep people off my case and not so much that i feel uncomfortable with it and want to use "behaviours" to the same extent. It comes and goes. 'Recovery' for me was more about learning how to play the game, really. sigh.

but I do eat low calories specific amount of food,but I mean it's not that I eat a banana the whole day and I do take a free day each week where I allow my self to eat an icecream or something like that,it's like when I go out with my friends I do not eat anything and I cant bring my self to do like eat something fatty except that day or I might feel extreamly guilty,also if I was eating and somebody wasn't I just stop eating I feel like a pig and if I was eating more than somebody I also feelguilty,today my sister wasn't very hungry at lunch she took off some of the pasta from her plate,I couldn't bare it I fel like a pig,so I took a very small plate and started adding the pasta to it in a small portions and when my parents were done although I started after them I stopped eating... :confused:

It does has its advantages though. A lot of my male friends have informed me that it is a good thing from a male point of view because they say that an attitude of eating anything at anytime is rather attractive. Personally I cant quite see how stuffing your face full of cake (might be an extreme example) in front of a guy would be that attractive but I shall take thier word as truth.

Yeah, it's not attractive to see a girl obsessively push food around her plate I guess. I try not to eat to excess, but if I want cake, I'll eat cake, if I want a massive pizza all to myself, I'll eat one all to myself... life's too short!

Life is too short. I once played the role of gluttony in a play so got to go on stage with the biggest piece of chocolate fudge cake each night and stuff it all in my face. And before I went on I would use my hands too scoop chocolate fudge frosting out of a tub and smear it all over my face..really disgusting but so good at the same time. It was heaven!!! :biggrin: (Always makes me think of Alan Partridge sitting in his car with chocolate all over his face and toblerone wrappers everywhere!!)

I am glad that I am not publishing last weeks food diary here as I ate two packets of hobnobs and a whole chocolate roll and two tubs of ice cream and a huge box of maltesers!!

or if you want you can just play with the food and take the longest to eat so you eat less then do the same with the dessert and so nobody would notice. :biggrin:
