Weight issues

I'm 5'4-5'5 and i weigh about 7 1/2 stone. I used to be bigger and i always thought once i lost the weight i would feel happier about myself and my apperance. Sadly, things didn't work out the way i wanted them to and now i feel even worse about the way i look. I get my self in to such a state when i over-eat or break the cycle of a healthy diet. i think about food a lot and fear putting on the weight i've lost plus more. I cant see much of a change in my size.. in fact sometimes i think i look bigger. I've made myself sick a couple of times and i'm worried that itl be come a habit.
I just needed to talk to 'someone'! it's silly i know... Has anyone been in this state of mind? I'm worried it will get out of hand.

I agree totally. But more importantly, Carlos Valderrama pulverises kumquats with startling accuracy.

To "Anonymous" - for your height if anything you are underweight according to all the facts and figures - i know this isnt always a comfort if you are conscious about the way you look but health wise - you dont need to worry at all about losing weight.
Food can become an issue the more you think about it - try and distract yourself from thinking about it when you can and then when you get genuinely hungry (check its not thirst first or something) then eat until you feel full and try to stop, and then do something else to try and take your mind off food
i know this is so much easier to say than do but its all the advice i can give! and obviously making yourself sick isnt healthy but thats not why people do it - theres deeper issues there (usually - not making assumptions!) and i hope your coping alright with that - all the best!

i don't think it's about how much you weigh, it's about how you feel about yourself and your attitude towards food. you clearly are unhappy, stressed and slightly obsessive about food. as such, you have a problem. i would suggest going to see your doctor, or if that sounds too scary, maybe finding someone you can confide in at school/ uni/ work first. if you need someone to chat to, feel free to pm me any time. i hope you get help and start feeling better soon. in fact i'm sure you will, you have already been able to recognise this problem in yourself. hugs, gaia

to anonymous, you are certainly not alone!! sadly lots have felt like that, myself included, though its hard to tell its possible that you could be on the verge of a downward cycle which its best not to let go to far. its good that your thinking about this now as alot of ppl who develop eating disorders will deny it even to themselves until their lowest point.
As alot of ppl have already said though your weight is pretty low, and losing any more could be a great risk to both your physical and emotional health.
My suggestion would be find someone, eg one of your friends or parents, or teachers or a doctor (rather than tsr) who you can talk to . tell them exactly what you told us to share the burden a bit. it should make you feel better and most importantly it could help you on the road to recovery before its too late.
good luck!

i'm also worry about my weight. cos,i lack of exercise about fitness and like eat food.
so i get weight.however,the important thing is your attitude towards that.
my bf would tell me don't eat too much though,he is not worry about my weight.
i'm confident as well.my apperance is not important.my soul is.

I think, to me, it sounds like you may have an eating disorder. This may seem a bit like I'm jumping to conclusions. But all the signs point to it. The good thing is that you seem to recognise this, I would think about going and having a chat to a doctor if I was you (which I have been). But it's a good sign that youre worried about it, that's the first step in correcting things. Good luck x x x

I feel the same constantly but i sadly have an ed. Sounds like when you binge you feel bad about it. I know and feel this too. I say you should talk to someone you feel comfortable talking to before these thoughs take over your life. Because once you've gone so far it starts to control you instead.

I think the next step is talking this through with a councillor.Talk to your GP and get a referral. You don't want to get to the point where you need hospitalisation. They say that realising that your behaviour isn't healthy and that you need help is the hardest step. Unfortunately from experience I don't believe that, but I do believe that if you really want to get better you can. It'll be hard to break certain mindsets and habits so make sure you have a strong support network. Have your friends and parents noticed that something's wrong? Maybe it's time you started confiding in the people closest to you. That support will be invaluable.

I'd just like to say im sorry for the inappropriate post i made on here last night, i wouldnt have dreamt of posting something so stupid if i was sober. Im not even sure why i logged on to TSR last night (i was at a party)

So to the thread starter, i apologise sincerely.

Hi, I used to be in the same boat as you- I'm 5ft 4 and about 2 years ago became anorexic lost far too much weight and then 'lost control' started binge eating basically developed bulimia- was VERY VERY unhappy. My advice would be to try and get professional advice, maybe see a dietician. Look at other areas in your life that might be causing you to feel down about yourself like confidence, relationships with other people etc, try and confront them instead of taking frustration out on your body- because you will damage it by restricting what you eat, especially if you lose more weight. When I started throwing up I thought it would be a temporary thing I'd do once or twice- at my worst I was very bad, now I occasionally do but its 4 years on and I'm wishing it had never started! Sorry, I don't want to scare you, I just know how you feel. I'm now over 10 stone and can't control my weight, bingeing is often a result of over-dieting and it ain't pretty. I'm sure you've got a fabulous figure that most girls would kill for- start enjoying yourself and be happy with the gorgeous body you have.

boo.gross

what about making a diary of what you eat? how much calories..
and what exercise to do every day or so? and how long..

this could help you keep in mind of how much you eat and not worry too much about it.

oh yeah, to make you feel better and make me feel worst..

i weigh much more than you. but i don't care about how much i weigh right now as concentrating on exams.. but i shall probably just do some watching music video dancing random exercise hahaa
