post anorexic metabolism

Question
I'm 18 now, and all through my childhood I was overweight.  My senior year of highschool I became anorexic and went from 150 to 105 in a matter of 4 months from a combination of exercise and diet.  When I felt my habbits became too noticable, and I developed symptoms like, my hair begginning to fall out, loss of my period, I stopped.  Now, approx. 7 months after eating normally I am back up to 150lbs. and not stopping.  I still exercise 5 to 6 times a week, and in my opinion,eat moderately.  I feel that there is nothing left to do except not eat but I fear that I will become extrememly emaciated as I did before.  What do you suggest?  Is my metabolism severely disrupted because of my anorexia?

Answer
Christine,

With your history my suggestion would be to sit down with a dietician and your doctor to go over your calorie intake and activities.  I think that it's unlikely to have your metabolism disrupted to that degree, but it may be worth running some general blood chemistries and thryroid testing to make sure.

Best of luck.
