Lame, but i need encouragement
Let me start off by introducing myself. I go by Annabel, and im a californian( california was voted, by the way #21 on the fittest cities list ) I am 5'3, and 125 lbs.
Last year, ( yes, thats only about..... a few weeks ago!) i lost weight, yes, but in a very dangerous way. I was bulimic, and anorexic. But bulimic only on rare occasions- ( when i binged, that means ) i went down to 112.... and then after my recovery ( which was God's doing ) i bounced back up to 125. And yes, its somewhat difficult, i s'pose. But its not like ive not been at this weight before( i started at 135-40 ) Anyway, for the last few days ive been reading skinnydaily.com which really has motivated me.. but argh, that scared, weary Ann still hides somewhere within me... i do well with eatin gin the morning, have a yogurt, some fruit, then afternoon maybe a veggie sandwich ( im a vegetarian ) but by the end of the day ive already had 2 bagels after this, and some more bread..... and then some hard boiled egg whites..... because i postponed running, and now its 7:14 and very dark. i was home at 1:30pm. My goal weight forever has been 100. But now, i'm willing to just at least get down to 110. 110 will be a huge improvement. Gaining weight is not fun, as all of you know ( which is why im so thankful to be here ) so yeah. i also do yoga on saturdays.... thanks for reading/listening - Annabel PS : id also like to add that i am very comfortable with myself right now. Relatively, i mean......the bulimia was only my output of stress, ithink |
Annabel,
Welcome to 3FC. It's great to have you here. I've also had ED and know how hard it is to combat them. I'm a bit concerned though, I don't believe 125 lbs for a 5'3" woman is overweight. But that is only my opinion :) We also have an eating disorder forum here and you are more than welcome to post with them any concerns and rants or just chit chat with them! They are a great group of women :D Again welcome to 3fc! Michelle |
Hi Annabel,
Just my 2cts, but are you actually eating enough, and enough protein at that ? it is very easy not to eat or to eat very light in the morning, but then your bloodsugar can drop so low that you actually eat more as a result of that afterwards. Maybe you should try to add some snack in the morning and in the mid afternoon, and put a bit more protein in. As a vegetarian the protein may be more complicated but you could think of -brewers yeast , lots of protein but you have to get used to the taste -soy stuff -milk + beans combined (together at one meal this delivers a lot of protein becouse they cancel out each others deficiencies in aminoacids) good luck, rabbit |
