Should I be concerned? Please don't be judgmental.?!
Question: Should I be concerned.? Please don't be judgmental..?
I have never everrrr talked to anyone about this so its a bit of a touchy subject.. or question. But uhmm I think I have a problem. And I hate admitting problems. So I recently lost 15 pounds, and now I weigh 116. I'm 5' 5". I think I look better, but I still hate looking in the mirror I hate it so much because I just feel so fat it drives me crazy. But other days I am fine, and am happy with myself, but that will end in a second. Like last week I pigged out and didn't care about it, like no guilt, and then this week I have been eating like normalish and yesterday and today I have felt so horrible and fat that I don't even want to pick up food. (all i have eaten today is half an apple) for breakfast. I don't know, I just feel happier when I am so hungry I can't think. I find super skinny to be pretty. And when I was just in the shower I honestly felt like I wanted to cut myself because i just hated myself so much, but of course I didn't. Now I am kinda mellow about it, and am not feeling hate, but I don't want to eat for sure.
I have been having feelings of guilt about food for like 2 years, but it has never been this bad... i don't think. but yeah this "cycle" that i go through is probably how I lost the weight.
I think I need help. /=

Wow girl I feel your pain. I do the same thing ALL the time. Somedays I'll wear in outfit and think "WOW, I actually look good" Other days in the same outfit I want to rip it off and burn it and put sweats on cause I feel like a fat cow. Just like tonight. I'm at work, work graveyard and for lunch I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich and some crackers and I feel like I gained ten lbs from it. I even workout but I feel so fat all the time. I will be motivated to lose some weight and than later I won't be and decide to eat everything in site. I am 5'2 and 111, I want to be my previouse weight at 103. I don't know how to stop feeling that way. I wish I could help you but just thought I would let you know you're not alone. Health Question & Answer
Kind of sounds like anxiety. It's not a horrible thing to see a counselor / therapist about this kinda stuff. They help straighten you out. Or try this. Just eat healthy and exercise and hopefully you will feel good about yourself. Trust me 116 at 5'5 is not fatHealth Question & Answer
Believe it or not you are not the only one out there feeling like this. My old friend used to be like that. You should talk to someone about it. It is not to be ashamed or anything! You admitted this to yourself so you made the first step.Health Question & Answer
You are showing signs of Anorexia. You need to see a doctor. Not only a regular doctor but a psychologist too. Best of Luck sweetie. Many girls and women are like this.Health Question & Answer
First off, it's a good thing that you admitted you think you could have a problem, that's a step in the right direction. Secondly, you should talk to someone about your weight issues, you don't want your eating habits to control your life. I can't say I understand what you're going through, my mental issues were more with anger and depression then eating habits, but I know talking to a professional does help. As for being the last person who'll admit there's something wrong, I'm in the exact same boat. It took years for me to let my guard down, since then it's been worth it.
As for knowing more then half the people here about dieting, it seems from your question that this is a psychological question, not a "how many calories can I eat one" so it might be out of your forte. Good luck in whatever you do, and I hope you get through this cycle. Health Question & Answer

What you need to do.? Admit at least that you MAY have a problem, and get to a doctor that knows about this stuff. Counseling could help alter your view of what is beautiful and help you have a good relationship with food.
Boy, am I one to talk. I'm on the opposite end of the weight issue, yet feel the exact same way all the time. Won't eat for days, then will binge, extreme guilt, self hate, etc. I do wonder if the other end would be better than where I am. We may be at different sides of this, but I feel your pain all the same /hugHealth Question & Answer

it is not uncommon for people ur age to feel like that, i believe that you are still healthy however it would be a good idea to see a counsuler about this before you become physically unhealthy, or you find someone you know and trust and talk it over with them. you are fine the way you are, you would look better if you gained a little weight, think about that next time you look in the mirror. you should feel good about yourself the next time you "pig out"Health Question & Answer
I'm 18, 5'6",174 lbs (approx. 6 months ago I weighed 187 lbs), size 12. I gained 30 lbs last year from the former 157 lbs. Trust me, you don't want to have the same problem. I do think you have a psychological problem, for which I recommend visiting the doctor or a psychologist/psychiatrist. Usually one gets an appointment with a psychologist through a doctor after which, if necessary, transfers to a psychiatrist. Sounds to me like if you don't take care of this you could become anorexic.Health Question & Answer
I know EXACTLY how you feel. I lost over 60lbs over the passed year, but I still have days where I feel just as gross as I did when I was heavy. I heard someone call it "phantom fat". Although you were still in a healthy weight range for your height, you felt like you were fat. You lost the weight, but you don't always see it for yourself like others do. You really shouldn't beat yourself up dear. You weren't heavy to begin with, unlike me. Eat at LEAST 1,200 calories a day, get some exercise, and keep up the good work! Be proud of yourself for losing the weight. Just remember that even those "skinny" girls have insecurities.Health Question & Answer
