Anorexia Nervosa?
I've self-diagnosed myself
with Anorexia Nervosa. Why? I
skip breakfast and lunch, and
then after school I try to
prevent myself from getting
home as long as I can so I
won't be around food within my
reach. When I have no choice,
I go home and drink a 220
calorie drink that delays
hunger for up to four hours. I
then stay up in my room and do
all that I can do prevent me
from leaving to go into the
kitchen.
I think I'm fat, though I know
I can't be with my pant size.
(28x30 s don't fit without
belts. I'm a guy for the
record.)
I don't want to start eating
again because I feel different
this way. I'm trying so
desperately to not let my life
be controlled by hunger and
having the need to eat to go
on.
I just don't want to eat, but
I'll gladly get nutrients
somehow else.
What can I do?
I do at least 40 minutes of
cardio EVERY DAY along with
weight training every other...

Anorexia nervosa is loss of appetite resulting from nervous anxiety. This nervous condition is self induced and more commonly found in the young women. Some of its symptoms are loss of appetite, activeness but very much less sleep. Other symptoms include weight loss, stop of menstruation and lack of sexual desire, etc. Some of the natural methods to treat it are as follows: 1. To start with the patient should fast on water and orange juice for 3-5 days. 2. Application of ice-bag over the stomach for half an hour before meals. 3. Use of sour grapes, etc. For more information try the link below http://www.naturaltreatmentsit e.com/anorexia-nervosa.html |

Not diabetes, but here's a list copied word for word from another site (reference below). You don't need to worry about diabetes, but even as a teenage with anorexia heart attack is a real and serious threat to those suffering from anorexia. If you think you or someone you know has anorexia, please ask for help. * Irregular heartbeat and heart attack * Anemia, often related to lack of vitamin B12 * Low potassium, calcium, magnesium, and phosphate levels * Increased cholesterol * Hormonal changes (can lead to absence of menstrual periods, infertility, bone loss, and stunted growth) * Osteoporosis * Seizures and numbness in hands and feet * Disorganized thinking * Death (suicide is responsible for 50% of fatalities associated with anorexia) |
