News of Anorexia Nervosa Forum

Hi, I am 16 yrs old and I was diagnosed with anorexia a few months ago. I spent 2 weeks in hospital and gained 4kg in 2 weeks (that was bad enough). I have to go and have doctors appointments every week to be weighed and to make sure I'm not losing weight... the problem is I started water loading and putting weights in my undies to make everyone think I was gaining weight so ...

ive been struggling with this for about a year and a half. last summer (2008) i stopped eating "normally", as in i would go on fasts randomly that would last from 8 hours to 48 hours. and then usually every night i would walk in circles around my house from 1-3 hours to work off any food i did eat. i stuck to low-calorie foods and if i ate a high-calorie one i was ridiculously ...

I"m trying to figure out if maybe I have a problem. Sometimes i think I might.. sometimes i'm not sure.

I admit, I'm obsessed with my weight. I got really fat once, after leaving home. I didn't realize it at first, then when I did, I worked to take it off.. in five weeks, i lost 60 pounds, and I just kept going. That was 18 years ago.

Since then, never a day has passed ...

Hey, I am new here :)

I am struggling with some things, and do not know how to handle or cope with them. Let's see..

I've always been self conscious and a little on the "heavy" side. I am 21, 5'5" tall, and my normal weight used to be 120-125lbs on average. Now, I am 97 pounds, I feel like I have half the amount of hair ...

Hi there,
I'm new here and I hate my body and always have. I am clinically bipolar and on medications that I think made me gain weight. I ballooned from 120 to 210! My family noticed and made rude comments, even my own mother. I tried "getting out more" but it didn't help & being on these pills just make me so tired. So I started to binge & purge with much pain and every ...

My girlfriend seems to fluctuate between starving herself and over exercising and overeating. When shes starving herself and exercising, she never has any energy and often will blow off plans or events to exercise or sleep. After a while of this, she'll often start eating again, but when she does, she'll overeat and get very angry with herself and gets very depressed and often talks about harming herself or suicide. It isn't uncommon for her ...

Hi all,

I am 27 and anorexic for 6 years. I have tried many treatments, went to therapies, stayed in hospital etc. but nothing worked out. Actually I am not so much underweight at the moment because I have to study a lot, I have to eat stg.like sweeties to focus. Except I do only eat salad-no dairy products -and some fruits-no other kind of food.

Anyway, I do know this situation is really very ...

I'm not sure when my eating disorder started. I have a feeling it was sometime last year. Whether it is affecting my health, i don't know. I'm not a very healthy person to begin with. All I know is that it feels amazing. That sounds really awful, even to type. But when my eating is controlled, as typical as this is, everything in my life seems to be on track. And whether it's in my ...

The longer that I have been alive on this planet, the more I have come to detest the act of eating. First I stopped eating junk foods; meat and dairy were next; eventually, all I would eat was raw organic fruit, so I would be considered a fruitarian I suppose. I am both horrified and fascinated by the practical application of breatharianism, a theoretical/real state of being ...

I have been struggling with anorexia/compulsive exercise for over a year now. My doctor knows, my parents know, and I am on a strict diet, and under strict watch. I am not allowed to exercise because I am underweight, and I haven't had my period in over a year. I've been sneaking in exercises for so long now, because I am TERRIFIED of getting big...it sound ridiculous, I know, but it's this fear in me ...
