Hi, I am fat, so I知 always on some kind of diet, but without much success. I avoid eating in school, because I don稚 like other people to see me eating. Recently, I started to feel dizziness, and my parents think it痴 because I知 not eating enough. Could it be the reason?

HI, I also try to avoid eating whenever possible, because I need to lose some kilos. I already lost 8 kilos, but I知 still fat. I feel dizziness, muscle pains, if I知 forced to eat something I get sick. My mother is taking me to see a doctor, because she thinks I知 a bulimic. I just want to look good and feel fine in my own skin. She believes that I知 affected by pop-stars who are anorexic and that I can ruin my health like that. I also exercise every day for 2 hours, and that makes my mother think I知 over obsessed with my outlook. Am I starving myself, I just want to get rid of kilos? I have friends who can understand this, because obese people are not satisfied with themselves at all.

I've been there too. Though, I wasn't obese or over weight... I was in my range of weight health and BMI. Though, I kept this obsessive way of "dieting" and over exercise. I would spend MORE than 2 hours doing such activities. I was bulimic and I also took excessive amount of diet pills. All this at the age of 15. Right now, I am 18 years old. The smallest I got to was probably 102lbs at the height of 5,5. I now weigh about 115 at the height of 5,6. I can tell you that was the worst period of my life that I had ever lived. I would feel palpitations, my blood pressure would drop constantly and from the fright of gaining weight, even from drinking water, I would start to purge. I didn't eat, and so would lose weight rapidly. From all this I started to also suffer from panic attacks. And would get constant light headedness and tremble at times. I am now diagnosed with panic disorder. Though I've stoped all these habits... I still have the idea that I should go back to them. I battle with that every day I eat something. So anyone that reads this, don't do this to yourself, it's not worth it. What's the point of wanting a stick-like figure body or lose weight when you are putting your health in danger. Only to become ill and worse case... die. It's not worth the risk. I didn't see a psychologist for this... I battled this all on my own... kept it a secret from my family... all but my mother, who in the end I had to tell. Because when I was rushed into the emergancy room one day, I knew that my secrets would pour out. And seeing her cry and suffer as she watched her daughter lay on a hospital bed wasn't worth it to me. And I didn't want to be there. So please, if you feel that you are getting ill from your dieting and feel that you must lose weight (even if you need to), see a doctor who specializes in nutrition and dieting. It's the best advise I can give you. And remember, no one is perfect.
Live well, live long. |
