-- Posted by butterflygrl2005 at 12:02 am on Sep. 13, 2008 he calls me anorexic but can't figure out why i don't lose any weight. i actually scare him a bit at times.... i eat at least 500 calories a day, but my max is 1500. i work out at least 15 hours a week, and my max is around 25 hours. i don't think i'm anorexic, but i skip breakfast and lunch usually. i hate eating and will only eat dinner, and with as little food as possible since i don't think that my body needs the excess weight. i eat, however, when i start having cramps and usually eat something like a luna bar.... how normal is this? -- Posted by Aratal at 12:03 am on Sep. 13, 2008 You shouldn't skip meals. -- Posted by mycuteFIEND at 12:03 am on Sep. 13, 2008 Not normal. -- Posted by cherryD at 12:03 am on Sep. 13, 2008  Some people don't like food. -- Posted by FRYYS at 12:03 am on Sep. 13, 2008 not normal. you cant hate eating, you HVE to eat. -- Posted by gdeeaz at 12:04 am on Sep. 13, 2008 not normal at all. if you work out that much you should eat more to replenish your energy. waiting till you have cramps is very unhealthy -- Posted by BrokenBelief at 12:04 am on Sep. 13, 2008 That is not normal.  If you are exercising 2-3 hours a day, you need to be getting more than 500 calories.  It's simply not enough.  That is all pretty true to anorexia. -- Posted by haysues at 12:04 am on Sep. 13, 2008 well. there are many things id like to say about this topic. but i wont. because most of them are mean. so, just please eat. its unhealthy. and exercisig that much isnt good unless you eat more. you actually should have meals throughout the day... -- Posted by Micus at 4:25 am on Sep. 14, 2008 When I had an eating disorder I would put off eating farther and farther in the day... my goal eventually was to wait out the daytime and only eat once the sun went down. I would skip breakfast and lunch religiously. I would run everywhere in Boston, instead of walking to increase my heart rate more. You remind me of myself. -- Posted by SimShrimp at 9:24 am on Sep. 20, 2008 Not normal at all.  eating only 500ish calories a day is not good at all.  nor is eating that little and exercising that much.  you're probably getting cramps because you're not eating.  And skipping meals is not healthy. -- Posted by Natsy at 9:55 am on Sep. 20, 2008 it doesn't sound like ana, but definitely some kind of eating disorder -- Posted by devilindisguize at 10:03 am on Sep. 20, 2008 it does sound extremely close to an eating disorder. you can find a survey on www.something-fishy.org to determine whether you have an eating disorder. either way though, that is not healthy at all. you need to eat more.
