OK I've been having a weight problem for quite some time and it started back 2 years ago. I wouldn't eat for 2-3 weeks and then something would snap and I'd binged eat and gain all the weight back and I would be depressed and everything is bleaked. But I realized that I couldn't do this anymore so I decided if I want to lose weight I'd have to do it the right way. So starting July 1st I'd have a slimfast for breakfast and small lunch in the afternoon and then Lean Cuisine dinner before 7 and I exercised. The first week I lost 6 pounds and then the second week I lose 3 pounds which was fine. I really thought I was over my eating disorder because I was proud at the fact that I didn't feel the need to binge nor did I feel I was repressing myself. But the third week I wasn't sticking to my diet but I wasn't overindulging myself I ate healthy but I would have a cookie one day or eat a small bag of chips the next day I didn't think I was doing anything wrong. Well yesterday I weighted myself (I do it once a week) and it said I gained 5 pounds! I couldn't believe it and I got so upset that I started to binge eat and now I don't know what to do. Do I have to be on a stick diet in order to meet my goal or what can I never eat junk food again.?

The reason why I bring it up is because the weight problem is interfering with my social life and right now I'm at the point where I'm really just upset about my weight. If anyone has any helpful advice I'd love to hear it.

Not to sound mean or anything, but you really do need professional help. And I don't mean in losing weight.

Sounds like you're on the emotional cliff edge, as it were. Sounds like you're completely obsessed with your weight, and that is unhealthy.

I've had friends that were obese and friends that were nearly anorexic/bulemic. You know what they had in common? A weight problem? WRONG!

The root of their problem was they did not love themselves first. Think about it, you were doing fine. until you had a *minor* setback. (you can 'lose' five pounds by taking a #1 and #2 in the bathroom, BTW). Then you decided to not love yourself and did what you knew was against your goals. You then felt guilty about falling off the bandwagon, and that makes the 'problem' worse.

If you truly loved yourself, then that minor setback would not have mattered. Sure, it might have been a setback, but you are strong enough, smart enough, and pretty enough to not lose hope and achieve anything!

How do you learn the power of loving yourself? That's where professionals can help you find that love and figure out how to let it shine.

Losing weight when you are slightly bigger is an admirable goal (I used to be obese when I was in middle school). Being near the ideal weight has great health benefits, but it is not your life.

You just have to quit blaming yourself or your weight as the root of your problems and learn to love yourself regardless of how you look. Then and only then will you truly achieve your weight-loss (and other life) goals.

Best of luck to you!

ok number one I totally know where you coming as I am still struggling with one. I think you put on weight because you limited your bodies calorie intake and your metabolism slowed. try boosting it again and it will help . go for a run before breakfast or drink green tea . it helps reduce toxin build up and boost metabolism . As for the eating disorder I can't tell you not to do it . or anything like that I'm really sorry how is your weight influencing your social life. I don't want to sound lame but ry seeing a councilor or something to help with your self esteem or take up a new port to help you loose weight and boost confidence :D

i went through the exact same thing I'm on a diet now as we speak ! id a perfect figure but then something in my head told me to go on a diet so I did and I ended up putting on 14lbs.
then I starved myself for most of the summer in 2006 and I got skinny and was happy about it but then I cracked like you did and started bingeing and when I was 12 I was bulimic! but now my body is totally different I used to have a big arse and legs and a skinny stomach but after all the dieting I don't I have smaller legs and have a bit of weight around my stomach and I have love handles I never knew what they were before cause I never had them! I weigh myself everyday and I get really upset and depressed if I even put on 1lb! I put 8lbs on in the space of the last2 weeks and I'm freaking out and starving myself, so I know what you are going through and the only thing I can say is me and you need professional help because we are going to ruin are bodies(I already have) and we need to get out of this obsession its like an addictive thing its all you think about. I won't go out if I feel fat and will distance myself from my social life so I can relate to you in that way too, but I can't give you help because me and you need to go see a professional and get this dealt with I just wanted you to know your not alone on this

Question Asker I know I should get professional help but I can't bring myself to do so. It's nice to know that I'm not alone I just really wish I can get through this. I've become obsess with losing weight and when I did, life was just better but when I gain weight I go through this depress stage and I just want to be happy and healthy I hope the diet goes well for you and you don't fall back thanks for your feedback - 5 months ago
