lose weight (read all 6 entries…)
163lbs @ 5ft8 17 months ago

I lost ten lbs since I last posted here. I haven’t gained any weight back since I started losing.

It is extremely emotional for me to diet, because I know how unhappy I am with my body. It is so easy to use fasting as a way to punish myself, and I do it a lot. Then sometimes I skip meals and run instead. Eventually I could see myself developing some kind of anorexic eating disorder, but it’s inevitable because the problem is I feel losing weight is more important than anything else. The idea of skipping meals excites me somehow, makes me feel like I’m working on some secret project that is completely within my control. And I get excited thinking about how much calories I didn’t consume, and honestly the closer to 0 the better.

If you don’t eat, you’re body will go into starvation mode. If your body goes into starvation mode, it will store fat, and use muscle to provide the calories/energy you need. It also slows your metabolism. So not eating, or skipping meals, isn’t a very good idea if you’re trying to lose weight. The idea sounds good, but the reality is not.

I seriously know how you feel. Skipping meals always made me feel better than everyone else, and it made people look kind of pathetic when I watched them eat at school or whatever. It’s not a good cycle and it’s hard to end, but good luck :)

be careful

It’s common to go into an anorexic mode when you feel like this. and, if you do put on some weight,is it really such a bad thing, so long as you are healthy.
Doctors are finding out that everybody’s ideal weight is different. Some people cannot lose weight beyond a certain point unless they go anorexic.
For some, the weight is set a little higher than others. Technically, I am overweight, (5 9, 190lbs) but my blood pressure, and cholesterol are good and rock solid. The Dr. told me as long as I exercise and eat right, the extra weight will not do any harm.’
BP 120/80 cholesterol 140.
