Question : Pro anorexia/bulemia, anyone willing to take the bait?
I completely understand the harm that anorexia and bulemia can do to the body if it used excessively (such as organ failure, enamal removal, burns in the throat etc.) but there are groups that support the moderate use of these techniques for loosing/maintaining weight because it is easy to do without exercise or supplement use- keeping an open mind- tell me what you think.

What are the meals in a hospital eating disorder program like?

Question : What are the meals in a hospital eating disorder program like?
I am going to be starting an intensive outpatient program for eating disorders. I’ve been on the waiting list for 2 years and I am ready for this support and therapy as I’m totally on my own (26, no family, live with craigslist room-mates), and need professional help to ditch this evil thing forever.
SO when the program begins it will be monday to friday, from 11am-7pm. We will have lunch and dinner there. The meals will be supervised and you have a set amount of time to eat in.
I’m scared. I’ve been bulimic for 3 years now since I was drugged and raped in 2007… and my digestive system is pretty messed up.
I won’t be put on the weight gain meal plan since my BMI is healthy, (19.8– I am 5’7 and 126 lbs)…
so the lady said I will be eating normal, regular meals.
But I don’t know what that means. I don’t eat pork or beef and that began before the eating disorder, simply because I hate the idea of it (antibiotics, chemical feed etc). Will they force me to eat that? Or will they be ok with me eating equivilent calories in some other form of protein, like chicken or fish or beans or tofu?
And how balanced are these meals? Are they horrible, fatty meals? Or normal food-guide style balanced ones, with a protein, starch and vegetable?
fuck im terrified.

Answer by Cat
Holy crap. 2 years?!? honestly any program that compromises your health for that long worries me. I was told the 2 week wait at one treatment center I was at was long.
The meals are very healthy and balanced. They should definitely accommodate to you not eating red meat.
Be brave, it’s scary but it’s not horrible and helps you get your life back!
Can you recall the name of this two-player flash platform fighting game?

Question : Can you recall the name of this two-player flash platform fighting game?
This 2D platform fighter was popular back in 2003. The characters are very small compared to the level, about the scale of the ninjas in N. Some had spiky Vegeta hair. They could double-jump and do somewhat acrobatic energy attacks in the air. The game supported two players on the same keyboard, and made for some exciting fast-paced battles. What was it called?
platform scales

Depends on what was used. If it was that epoxy that’s cured with UV light then it will last and wear about as well as your natural tooth.

Question : Eating disorder treatment renfrew ?
well tonight i had like a panic attack or something, i really don’t know. i like fell on the ground and like hyperventilated, i was like shaking it was so weird. i was with like a whole group of people, then all of a sudden i couldn’t breathe good, my stomach hurt and my lungs. My body feels like ****. my diagnosis is bulimia but i restrict daily.
i’ve lost like 7 pounds but gained it back, because i binge and purge too. like i don;t even know what it is. bulimia,anorexia? or even an eating disorder at all. i’ve been purging a lot lately, and my body feels like ****. my stomach hurts and i feel bloated. all i think about is food, not eating it or purging whenever i binge. its on my mind 24/7 my parents don’t realize how serious it is. so it makes me think it’s not serious. I can’t concentrate in school, i get trembles and i can just feel my body breaking down, but i can’t stop. my friend suggests i go to renfrew to go stay there for a little while – residential treatment.
im 5’0, 14 years, and 90lbss.
i’m not anorexic skinny so i don’t know if i should go there, or even think about it. i mean i guess theres no help for me because this nutritionist and therapy isnt helping, its honestly making things worst and wasting my dads money.

Answer by someone’s mom
If your parents are paying for a therapist and nutritionist, they are aware that there is a problem.
Need to sit down and discuss this with your parents who can help you decide how best to proceed. When they try to minimize what it is you are telling them, need to get their attention, look them in the eye and tell the truth so they get the picture. Parents do have a tendency to be in denial about their kids when they don’t know what to do. Been there, done that with my own kids.
Your passing out is reason for concern, as is your awareness of your eating issues. You don’t feel well, your stomach and lungs hurt, potentially from purging. I would want to know this about my child.
Good luck……..
