How can I get control of my weight?

is there anyone that can relate? I used to be overweight, but then lost about 35 pounds just eating healthier and excercising. My family started putting pressure on me to gain pounds because they were afraid I was becoming anorexic and were not used to eating healthy or seeing me be that healthy. I felt so pressured that I finally listend to them I started to gain weight, and now my worst nightmare has come to life…I cannot stop gaining weight. I know what I need to do to loose the weight, but every time I try I end up loosing control. I am so tired of this and am depressed and not myself. I am so uncomfortable in my body that all I wear are sweats and I never like to go out anymore. I have even reverted to bulimia in attempts to loose the weight, but it has only made me gain more because I binge. this is not who I am and I just want to go back to the happy, fun-loving, energetic, in-control, thin person I used to be. Can anyone relate, and if so how can I loose the weight and regain enough control to keep it off?

Answer #1

Hey I can relate, as I’m nearly anorexic as well. I suggest that you talk to your family and ask if they could help you stay on track with a diet. This will really help, but if they do’nt follow through try talking to a doctor.

Answer #2

thanks kiasu, I am aware, and am not seeking to adopt an eating disorder. I just want advise on how others succeed in taking control of their diet and maintaining that control.

Answer #3

Hi sashie_callum , Its great to see positive advice from someone going through a similar situation.

This is not always the case on this site unfortunately. You are a true diamond in a sea of horse cr*p!

Answer #4

I can’t relate but I just want to say that if you decided to eat healthy your family should be there for you 100% helping you along the way…you should talk to them and ask them to help you…but please don’t harm your body by being bulimic…

Answer #5

Hi iwanttobehappy, Beware of people sufferring from anorexia contacting you direct via messaging or funmail pretending to be a ‘friend’

Unlike Sashie above, most of them enjoy encouraging others to become mentally ill just like them.
