@acidxburnedxsoul close but anorexia is just the shortened version of anorexia nervosa because it's a bit of a mouthful like bipolar disorder is called bipolar
Wow her face was soooo boney and now that she is healthier her face is so beautiful and her boobs are huge for her thin physique. Wow really pretty girl.
Not in my experience, but i was lucky enough to have an amazing psychiatrist who is also the head of the ed unit here where i am.
But you are quite right, in many cases until you get underweight, you tend to go unnoticed, which is terrible because the state of your health can be much worse by this stage.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i am actually just about to starve myself. i'd just like to know, do you ever know a limit? will you ever be able to stop when you've reached your ideal weight? because i've known people who have starved for 2 few weeks, some up to a month, and then after that, they recover. does tht even count as ana?
That is not Anorexia. Rather, that is "crash dieting." With Anorexia, you may set goal weights for yourself, step on the scale, have a brief moment of happiness when you reach that weight. Then shortly afterwards, you set yet another goal weight. And another. And another. This may not be the same with all girls who suffer from an eating disorder, however, for myself and many of the others that I've met with Anorexia, this is often the case. It is a never ending cycle of self loathing and hatred.
What? Yes, this is anorexia. Anorexia can be classified as ANY period of intentional starvation, whether it's 24 hours or 24 years. There are 2 types of anorexia: for weight loss and as avoidance. Weight loss anorexia is the one everyone talks about; anorexia as an avoidance strategy stems from some type of illness that makes the patient nauseous. For instance, one of the symptoms of appendicitis is "anorexia" meaning the patient will not eat in order to avoid throwing up. Read your DSM-IV
just wanted to put this out there. There is an Eating Disorder Recovery Collab channel that just launched last week. Its 13 people from around the world who post 2 videos a day answering questions and topics about ED recovery. We cover Anorexia, Bulimia, and Binge Eating. Feel free to subscribe, friend us, and there is an open mic night, Sunday where viewers can co-host. Get involved! Its all about recovery & it's a safe place for all who wish to have a life free from ED. WeRFreEDdomFighters.
firsthand?...i hope you're better now....since its firsthand i have a question? can an anorexic ever say..."ok..im gonna starve and workout for this many and this long until i am this and that size" and once they become that size..what happens?
but you see this woman is almost literally bones, cant one see that in the mirror or lets say in a picture of their body (if they didnt even know it was them) wouldnt they be able to see the bones?
Anorexics, in pictures seeing themselves, can actually see how small they are and realize it's them. In the mirror though, no.
I'm recovering of anorexia... I still don't see my true image in the mirror.. I rely on the nurse, my teacher - the only one that knows - my therapist, and pictures to get an idea of what I look like.
Today I'm a year, 5 months, and 6 days into the recovery process... I still have a ways to go yet.
If you have any more questions feel free to ask =)
so they know how thin they are! yet in the mirror no? wow!..thats hard to believe but thats the way it is i guess, i actually had anorexia for a full week (if that makes sense) i debated a year in my mind how i wanted to be thin and one day i just ate 200 cals or less and went to the gym a lot but only lasted 1 week cuz i knew i couldnt do it as a lifestyle and i was always weak but on the bright side i had time everything else in my life cuz i wasnt planning on what i was gonna eat
Anorexia isn't a lifestyle, it's a DISEASE. It's a mental illness. One cannot just "become" anorexic. God knows if I would have had a true choice I wouldn't have went down that route. I didn't just wake up one day and start it.. it was a process of development. A hellish one at that. It started so simply, my doctor told me that I needed to shed some pounds.. I never had time for anything else, ana consumed my thoughts, actions... everything. Ana became my life. She scared me, yet comforted me..
yes i know, but its so strange how i had anorexia in my mind for a year! but put it to action for a week, i still go to the gym but i dont know what to call that week that i didnt eat because im not anorexic i dont have the disorder, its as if I chose HER, but for a week...i dont get it :p..my friends were worried cuz i lost 8 lbs and my ribs started to show, i weighed 110 going down...so youre better now? are you eating healthy and exercising?
Yeah, I'm getting better. I actually don't exercise much anymore - maybe once every few weeks - and when I do exercise I'm closely monitored by my mother. I have a lot of restrictions on exercise, I can only do it for 10 minutes. I have to take in a certain number of cals per day or I'm in big trouble with my therapist. I'm weighed once a month to make sure I'm telling the truth - blind weighed.
Damn thats a LOT of monitering...only 10 minutes???..omg wow...how many cals do they say you have to consume?...so you dont even know how much you weigh?..wow..well at least you Are getting better and thank god for everyone who cares and helps you through such a difficult battle...and thank U for answering my questions :) i get very curious
I have to consume AT LEAST 1,500 but my therapist hopes that I will hit 2,000 per day. I think I weigh around 128 or something, I'm not sure. They won't tell me. Good thing they don't. All that would do is cause me to drop lower. Ah no problem for answering. If you have anymore, I'll answer those as well.
i dont even count calories anymore cuz this girl (she has an 8 pack abs goin on :P said that i didnt need to, all i had to do was limit the fat and eat clean and healthy,...damn 2000 is a lot though isnt it?...128? ur so exact lol what would have been you ideal weight? and did you have anyone as a thinspo?...thanx soo much answering my questions :P...and is it true that once you try to recover you gain all your weight back if not more??
Yeah it's true. I dropped lower than what I am now, much lower. 2,000 is what you're suppose to hit in a day. My ideal weight? If you mean the one that ana set for me, that was 99. My ideal weight according to a chart is 113 to 129. I mainly used Mary-Kate Olsen as thinspo as well as Nicole Richie.
1200-1800 calories also for some ppl.i wanted to be 90lbs but deff no more than 100lbs, but since i dont have a disorder i starved most the time and exercise but it wasnt like i could continue with it, that was my problem.for real??? mine too, i LOVE nicole richie's body omg i wanted to look just like her and started posting pics of her on my computer for thinspo and watching her on youtube, she's the reason i wanted to diet and sometimes threw up the food i would eat.guess it wasnt worth it huh
i can understand when someone started not to eat, but the difficult part to me is how do you keep so consistent, doesnt hurt? doesnt it get tempted to eat? dont you feel weak and want to eat some energy? dont you know about the 2 choices you have left= death or recovery?...because of these questions i ALWAYS tell other ppl, that it IS serious because it IS a disorder that you CANT choose, but you could you answer those in your opinion, idk if those questions are rude =[ but i hope i dont offend
so you ignored the hunger pangs and it would go away...a good thing? wow, so you didnt hang out with friends wen they invited you anywhere?...how many calories were you consuming? and did you still exercise although you were weak?...
I don't remember them ever going away. I remember chewing gum to curb my appetite, and drinking lots of water to fool my stomach and my brain. I really wouldn't go out to eat that much, when I did I always wound up purging. I was consuming anywhere from 160 to 290 per day, that was when it was at the point where I had to start therapy.
And yeah, I always exercised, except for the times when I was fasting for weight loss. I would fast so long that my vision would black out.
did you ever tell anyone at all or did you keep it completely to yourself?...wow, and how long did this go on for?....omg thats so bad =[ i cant imagine, didnt your parents say anything did anyone notice at all?
I told my best friend, she kept it to herself. Then my Spanish teacher noticed & started sayin, "You look awful." "You're TOO thin, Bec." "What's up? You don't look good." "Are you okay?" This went on for a little over a year, enough to shrink my stomach 3 sizes & damage my breathing & ovaries. Lots of people noticed, it was hard to miss when I was around 100. My Spanish teacher constantly made me eat. Literally, she would hold me in her room until I ate something.
yeah i read at top where you said about the gum and water thing. i do that all the time because its not that i wanna stop eating its just i wanna stop myself from snacking but i always fail:P
I have anorexia... and everday I ask myself why I'm doing this to myself. Everyday I feel guilty for not eating, for over-exercising, and for hurting my mom so much through what I do, but I still do it.
Everday I go back to thre mirror, everyday I grab the calculator to check my calories, and check, and check, and check again. And everytime I look into my mom's eyes, I feel guitly. But I still chose the disorder... and I don't know why anymore.
I think you're incredibly strong for going into recovery, and for chosing to get help. Not only that, but for wanting to stay healthy, and spreading the word about this horrible disease, even if it's only on youtube. So kudos to you! I wish you the best of luck in your recovery process.
2000 isn't a lot.. Its what you need. It isn't hard to eat 2000 when your sitting down for proper meals. Trust me. I am 5"8 and I weigh 112 pounds and I counted how many calories I ate yesterday (WHICH WAS VERY COMPLICATED I DON'T RECOMMEND TRYING) and I had about 2,300 calories. I wasn't even really hungry that day.. and thats over the 2000 calorie recommendation.. so trust me, it isn't hard..
i actually like counting calories just so i know how much im eating but im not sure if i should count the fruit and veggies since supposedly theyre negative calories...i dont think i reach 2000 but i never know cuz i havent been counting for a while..im 5'5 115lbs, you must be naturally thin then right?...that happens to me also, like i wont be hungry the whole day for some reason but ill still eat ever 3 hrs or something, whole wheat grains mostly...i understand what you mean...are you a model
Nope, I'm not a model, but I wouldn't mind trying some modeling :) I guess I could say I'm naturally thin, but I do a lot of walking all day because i work in the city. You seem pretty lean yourself. Yeah and with like fruits and vegetables I think as long as your not consuming whole melons at a time, you have nothing to worry about :P
it isn't hard when you haven't been through anorexia. follow the conversation before you make a comment. anorexia is centered around taking in less than 200 calories per day, which trust me is harder than what it sounds.
i can't believe the person who wrote the last comment. She looks very healthy now and more importantly she is not in danger of death. The person who said she was more beautifu before and has a fat head now is ridiculous. She was absolutely skeletal before and now is very perfect. That comment was shocking
I don't want this to be offensive, but you still had very pretty hair and a large bust, its impressive. When I lost weight my boobs were the first to go. But I assume you body functions went back to normal when you regained a healthy weight?
In April it will be a year since I've been out of the hospital,I'm thrilled. Everyday though is scary. I always wonder how long I'll be able to stay at maintaince and not slide back. I pray for all of those out there who are struggling with any mental illness. It is hard, and no one truly understands until they've been through it themselves. It's inspiration for me to continue the hard work to stay healthy, thanks for the video.
It the same in Australia, there is nothing for people living in Rural or remote areas, You have to move to the city to attend treatment in either a hospital (which is just a ward setting) or out patient programs, that are not ideal for someone who really need to be under 24/7 care.
I hope Ali can gain some funding in her area, and I hope that Australia can also gain funding. People do not understand how serious mental illness is now days.
the government has done you a MASSIVE mis-service.appalling.

Not many Anorexics are capable of stopping... Once you start losing... it's so addictive...

no, you aren't offending me. it's nice that someone has some interest
Consistance: it hurts a lot, but the anorexia was so strong that I never paid any attention other than meeting her foolish demands.

wanting to eat: absolutely but the calorie amount scared me senseless.

It's inspiration for me to continue the hard work to stay healthy, thanks for the video.

Correction. Ali's mun meant to say that the consultant wanted Ali to remain an inpatient for another 4 weeks, not four months.

It the same in Australia, there is nothing for people living in Rural or remote areas, You have to move to the city to attend treatment in either a hospital (which is just a ward setting) or out patient programs, that are not ideal for someone who really need to be under 24/7 care.
I hope Ali can gain some funding in her area, and I hope that Australia can also gain funding. People do not understand how serious mental illness is now days.
Well done Ali, keep walking forward!
