News of Anorexia Nervosa Forum

I went through the last month severely restricting my eating. Every other day- and I usually only eat once a day. I don't get hungry that often. I have a drinking problem. I have a problem with smoking. Cigarettes, however, are a far more expensive and insoluble problem than anything to do with drinking.

That said, I get really pissed when my starvation diet doesn't result in any significant weight loss. I don't think I'm ...

Does anyone feel like they try recovery just because it's what everyone else wants? I feel like I always go back and forth and don't even know what I want!

Hi,

I struggled for 17yrs. with anorexia, no binge purge behaviors, just starvation for days. I no longer struggle with this, but Bdd towards face. To be honest, I'd rather die from anorexia than deal with bdd's thoughts towards face

I read this book, a christian wrote it.....Lisa Bevere....very good book to consider even if you aren't a christian.

i have a history of anorexia so i never weigh myself. ever. even if i just see a scale i freak out so i always make sure that at houses i go to it's hidden and that at shops i go to i don't go to the section where they sell them.

i gave blood recently and as i'm only 16 they needed to weigh me as they thought i wouldn't weigh enough. obviously i ...

Hi. I finally decided to talk to someone, because I do think I have a problem. My story:

About 6 months ago, I was at 194 lbs, I started a calorie counting diet. This worked great for weight loss and I started exercising and everything was going well. I kept telling myself how happy I was and everyone noticed the change. I have lost 66 lbs to date, and so you would think this is ...

Hey.
I am looking for some help.
For a couple of days I've been wondering what to do. I found out that my best friend (our families live in the same house) is struggling with her weight. She didn't tell me this but i found out because i read some of the emails she sent to her best friend a couple of months back. In one of those emails she admitted she had a eating ...

I am a 17 year old boy and I feel like I am fat. I've been starving myself but have finally been getting help for this but when I told the psychiatrist that I starve myself he was incredibably surprised.

I purge using diet slimming tea with senna leaves for five years at least , just lately I have not had the desire to eat as much because I am trying to lose weight and using something called Lipodrene I have finally got down about 8 pounds in 2 weeks and I have cut down on my antidepressant Lamictal because I heard it could make me retain water or get hungry. I'm not sure what ...

Hello, I'll try and make this short. any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

I have grown up around an eating disorder. My mom has struggled with one since she was a teen and I grew up hearing her throw up in the bathroom and at dinner say how she wasn't hungry because she "had a big breakfast" ...over 8 hours ago!

Anyway, I started falling into it when I was about 14. It was more ...

Hello,
I am a student in journalism and I am writing on the calorie count requirements on menus of New York City restaurants as well as the new educational campaign on subways (on one ad, you can see a harmless muffin with a flag telling how many calories). I am trying to figure out how this new barrage of calorie counts affects people with eating disorders.
If you have any comment on that or want ...
