That was a lot written there.
I was chubby when I was a toddler and in kindergarten to 2nd grade. Then, I was small until I was 11 years old(Im now 18). I was diagnosed with a mental disorder and the meds made me gain so much weight. I became bulimic at age 14 which I wish I could take back. The kids around me were teasing me and I had to do something.
I went to a mental doctor and he told me that eating potatoes can help fill you up. Another doctor at a hospital told me that eating turkey can help you fill up. I usually fill up on turkey and potatoes. I always have turkey slices in my fridge.
Ive been gaining weight too and it is really hard. But, go on walks if you can. Dont be afraid to join the gym because just tell your mom that you are trying to be healthy. Thats the truth, isnt it?
Lastly, dont let anyone bring you down. Take care.
Hello....I hear your distress, and I'm sorry for both of you that you are feeling so unacceptable for many reasons.
I'm not sure if either of you have been assessed to determine if you have an eating disorder, but if you haven't, I suggest you do that.
This particular forum is not about losing weight. It's about normalizing eating patterns and separating any of those patterns from emotional distress.
Recovery from an eating disorder cannot be focused on losing weight. By restricting food, you will be led into the pattern of bingeing, which is what I think I 'hear' in your posts.
Accepting that we all are different is important, and recovery from an eating disorder involves eating normally and accepting our bodies for what they can do for us.
Please seek help for this mindset, and consider having an assessment by a mental health professional to determine what your true needs are.
But please don't promote dieting or weight loss here...because it's already a problem for the majority of people, in some respect. I do hope you find the help you need. Take care...Jan ♥
thank you and thanx for pointing that out for me . ill be more careful now.
Wishing you the best...please continue to share about your feelings, and what you are doing to find help to overcome this horrible problem. Take care...Jan ♥
