Sure, you might lose some weight for the few days that follow, but you know what else you'll lose Do anorexic people force themselves to not eat or is there just no feeling of hunger Your metabolism will go down, and with a low metabolism, you are prone to weight gain, so please do not become anorexic.
Anorexic woman’s dramatic transformation | CNN
As a recovered anorexic, the mindset felt so strong
Each meal i missed gave me drive and power and seeing the numbers on the scale drop gave me such a high
I was a walking zombie the entire time, consumed by it all Calories, what time i could eat, what bowl i would use It started as a way of control and to hurt myself as much as other people had hurt me I didn’t feel deserving of food.
People can engage in anorexic behaviors and not lose weight / not lose a lot of weight It depends on the person's metabolism and which behaviors they're indulging in. My sister even said that i am anorexic and my mom agreed It sucks to know that my family sees me trying to be healthy as me having an eating disorder
Sorry if i rambled a lil bit archived post
New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast Best open comment sort options best top new controversial old q&a neontomb • Anorexia nervosa is a real, serious illness that affects thousands upon millions of people daily The people that have this illness are not attention seekers, they are not dare devils, and telling us to just eat is not helpful in any way shape of form
This is a safe place for those with this illness, and for those that are in recovery Violating this safe place will end up as a permeant. A severe anorexic will eventually get to the point where they aren't losing weight, because to lose any more weight would literally kill them If you're feeling this way, i advise you to seek medical help.
So i got diagnosed with ana a little bit ago, i have all the phsycolgical symptoms
And some of the physical symptoms (persistently cold, fatigued, dry skin, etc) But i’m not really that thin, granted i did loose a decent amount of weight but currently i’m about 150 lbs at 5’9” and was at my lowest 138. How do anorexic people function When i don’t eat enough, i get low blood sugar and i find it hard to concentrate and function enough to do anything
And that’s just from skipping a meal, let alone if i hadn’t eaten for days or was subsisting for years on a very small amount of calories.
