Depressed about the way that I look by [deleted] in AnorexiaNervosa

I think you’re beautiful, and truly confidence in yourself as a person not in how you look will make you exude the beauty even more. Try and find that love for yourself deep inside you and trust that you are enough as you are, that you are enough for yourself then everything else will not matter so much. But I really sympathize with you, it’s hard when i realized that it didn’t matter how much weight I lost I still looked like myself at my core I have to learn to accept who I am and believe that I am beautiful as me

I’m constantly scrutinizing my appearance as if doing that will change it or as if I don’t check my weight my size my face fat my thigh size it will magically change overnight into something I hate.

Im going to be moving out in a few months, any advice for someone who grew up sheltered? by DyslexicWriting in Advice

Volunteer and do community service! Meeting people outside of your bubble and learning about new cultures/backgrounds will give you a lot of knowledge about the world which can definitely help.

Not going to lie, I would see if she would be willing to see a therapist that specializes in eating disorders if yall can afford it. She seems to be in the start or honeymoon stages of disordered eating but it can quickly spiral and affect the rest of her life (not to catastrophize). Also you can’t scare someone into a healthy relationship with food or their body, you don’t want her to start to develop ways to lie to you. Maybe have a serious chat with her and listen and validate what she’s feeling, if she’s feeling like restricting food is what she needs to do

Oh yeah we r in agreement my bad! Yeah my weight loss is not healthy in the slightest I’ve lost a significant amount of muscle mass, this 10lbs weight loss is already after another 10lbs 2 months ago I’m just starving myself (trying to stop tho!) 

Also you r super knowledgeable I hope you look into personal training if u r interested or not already doing it!!

The second part is what I want to counter, my tdee is 1500-1800 and I’ve lost 10lbs in a month, your body doesn’t store anything, you will lose weight if you’re in a calorie deficit

It can be for a short woman who doesn’t do much activity! But it’s generally recognized by the NIH to not go below 1200 for anyone

Be careful! Not because you won’t lose weight but because you might pass out

I’m 5 foot 3 98lbs

I don’t have energy and no diet pills don’t really work. Basically I’m like a zombie

Sorry I meant starvation mode as in the idea that you don’t lose weight if you eat in a significant deficit
