Question : I need a diagnosis… eating and exercise? help!?
Right, basically, i have to ask random people about this because my friends are no help whatsoever. In the past year i have lost 4 stone… im now 5 ft 10 and i weight 9 st 6. I know that im not fat. I did it all healthily at first. I ate proper meals. I felt happy. Watched the fat in everything and went to the gym every day doing either cardio or weights… without fail. Only the past 3 months id say, i think my head is going the wrong way.
I make myself wake up every day at 6am, to get to the gym for when it opens, and until the calorie burner on the treadmill says 750 calories i dont get off. I calorie count EVERYTHING. I will eat two special K bars for breakfast, porridge or toast for lunch and a bowl of salad or brocolli for tea. I dont snack. I constantly find myself chewing gum, i smoke loads more than i used to. I feel crap in myself. I constantly look in the mirror and breathe in so that I can see bones. If i go a few days without going to the gym, i actually feel obese. I feel unhappy constantly. If i dont get up early and go to the gym, it will be on my mind until i finally decide to go… im constantly tired aswell. The only time im happy, is when the weekdays are over and i know that I can go out with my friends. I will go out on a saturday night, and get drunk, usually ending up in me not remembering the night whatsoever, then i will wake up on a sunday and eat like a footlong subway (but a healthy one :S) and then feel like absolute crap after eating it cause i feel like ive just had a total binge. I hate making myself look good in the week. I will just chuck on my gym kit to go into uni every day, just to make me feel better, even if i dont actually end up going to the gym. I hate the fact its got like this. I will also take pictures of my body on my phone every week if i feel fat, just to see what i look like. Then the next week ill look at them and think ‘sh*t ive put on loads of weight in a week’… im tired and i keep buying sugar free redbulls thinking they will wake me up, but they actually just make me more tired.
I wouldnt class myself as having an eating disorder though. I personally look at myself and dont think im ‘skinny’ … i just wish i wasnt in this situation. grrr… i dont know… i guess i just want an outsiders opinion on what they see…
My motivation used to be so high for going to run on a treadmill at the gym. Now i just feel like its a chore i have to fulfil every day. otherwise ill just be a mess
