QuestionHi! I am 62 inches tall and i weight approximately 44 kg. I used to weigh 65 kg until 10 months ago but since last September I lost 11 kg by December and the rest of it slowly. In the months of January, February and march I used to be in the gym for over 4 hours until the gym instructors realized that and made a conscious effort to throw me out of the gym. I used to burn almost 3000 cals a day walking on the treadmill.
After continuously being forced by my parents I had managed to come down to 300 calls a day but my food intake reduced greatly. i was barely consuming 1000 calories a day and it is still the same but I have started exercising to lose 500 calls a day. If i don't exercise I feel guilty and i don't feel like eating. I am become so used to it that my appetite has shrunken.
what is it that i am going through? I barely eat grains and practically live on fruits and vegetables - knowing it is not the right thing to do. I still cant help myself!
please advise..
Answer It sounds more like a condition called "exercise bulimia", a method of purging food intake via excessive activity. I've had this too (along with anorexia and other forms of bulimia, among other e.d.'s).
You're also right that you can't help yourself. This is a psychological disorder and the only way we can recover, is by getting to the bottom of it.
Most of us were abused (emotionally, mentally, physically) as kids, have low self esteem and are over-achievers.
You've got to find a support group or a counselor that knows about these things specifically.
Give my site a look and see if you can find options in your area by clicking the e.d. - bulimia links.
The hardest part of recovery is what you just did. Realizing there's a problem.
