Question by BrieAnna: How could this happen with Anorexia?
I’ve seen pictures of people with Anorexia, and they are scary skinny. Then, on Y!A, some people say it makes you gain weight? How could Anorexia make you gain a lot of weight, when people suffering from Anorexia are super small?

anorexia makes you drink a lot of water so it’s an illusion. you don’t gain weight and the pictures you see on the internet are fake..most of them

As part of a project for health class I must research anorexia. One of the questions on my page is “If one could only drink water, but they couldn’t eat how long would one survive until they experieced and physical changes as in body “shut down”? So, pretty much the question is how long could someone live without food?

Daughter with anorexia, how will this affect Uni prospects?

Alan — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 23:05:53 +0000

My 17 year old daughter has anorexia, and she is just now accepting that she will need some treatment. However, she is very worried about how this will affect her University applications, especially as she is set for Cambridge. Her As work so far has never been lower than an A grade, and she is incredibly bright, but unfortunately this has happened…. If she misses a lot of school to recover, will she get compensation with her AS results? Will Cambridge even look at her if they know her medical history?

If you die from complications arising from anorexia would this be considered suicide for insurance purposes?

The anorexia is undiagnosed, and there haven’t been any recent treatments for mental illness.

I Hate This Body!!?

Alan — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 07:32:23 +0000

i am in (forced) recovery from anorexia and am hating this so much. i am now 111lbs at 5′8. i know it doesn’t sound too bad but i look disguisting, and it is sickening to think that i weighed 82lbs only 3 months ago. they want me to be 130! i’ve never been over 105. my shoulders/arms used to hang in a square shape, now there is this disguisting curve where fat has accumulated in my shoulder and upper arm. if i gain much more my thighs will touch. my hipbones are disappearing. all my clothes were a baggy size double zero now my whole wardrobe is too small, i now can squeeze into a uk size 6 and am too embarrassed to buy clothes so big. the boyfriend says i am still thin but i know he is only lying to make me feel better, i don’t deserve him, he doesn’t deserve a fat girlfriend. i am trying to eat as little as possible but i am on a meal plan and am forced by my mum to have breakfast and dinner.

Will This Make Me Fat?

I’m thinking about not exercising today. But I just got my new meal plan from my nutritionist for anorexia recovery and so for the first time I’m going to be eating probably twice the calories that I usually do. Should I take the day off or will I gain weight?

Will I Gain Weight From This?

Alan — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 19:30:05 +0000

When i entered recovery for anorexia 4 weeks ago i was 5′8 118 pounds and they put me on meal plan c (2000 calories) because i needed to gain weight and because i was exercising alot. A day after being told i needed to follow that meal plan, i was told by my doctor that i could only go for walks because my heart rate was 41. now, 4 weeks later, i am at 122 lbs and they just changed my meal plan to meal plan b (maintain weight) because i still cannot exercise; not because of my heart, but because i was over exercising last week when i was told by my doctor it was not safe to exercise. My question is, now that i am on meal plan b (1800 calories) and not exercising wont i gain weight? why would they put me on a meal plan to maintain weight if i am going to gain weight from it?
