DESPERATELY Want to Lose Weight.

I will do anything. ANYTHING.

I just want to lose weight. At least ten pounds, preferably more. I will start doing a lot of cocaine. I've already tried picking up the habit. It's starting. But I don't know how long I have to wait... What medications can I take to help me drop pounds? I don't care how bad it is for me. I just want to lose weight. I want my bones to be showing. It will make me happy. And I'm being dead serious.

PLEASE don't ask me how much I weigh now, or if I have a disorder. I don't CARE about whether it's a problem or not; my whole purpose in life is to lose weight. This isn't a joke thread, and I would be seriously offended if I am accused of it being so. I don't want to talk about my personal life, so don't imply anything of it.

Anyway: a brief overview of my diet.

Most days, I don't eat until suppertime. Physical activity is lacking due to school. I drink caffeine to help surpress my appetite. I'm trying to drink more water, because I've read that actually DOES help you lose weight. But it's not happening for me. I feel like I'm GAINING weight. I also throw up my food on a regular basis. Not helping.

Anyone. I'm desperate. Any ideas or things that have caused you to lose an exorbitant amount of weight in any point in your life?

Please explain.

Thanks in advance.

 

Try going to Africa. I hear alot of the children and adults there are skinny as can be. Some are so skinny they are actually dying. Quite an accomplishment, huh? Maybe you can pick up a few weight loss tips?
I sponser a poor child in vietnam, perhaps i could arrange a visit?

Please eat sweety, life is such a gift and we are so lucky in these parts of the world, because it is so easy. Don't take that for granted, because it could all end tomorrow.

 

get your ass to a therapist or mental institution

you need it

 

By not eating all day, you sending your body into starvation mode. It's trying to hang on to weight. Your metabolism is dropping to very low levels. Eat healthy, whole foods in reasonable amounts at regular intervals. Find time to fit in some exercise. Drugs are NOT the answer, but you know that already. Get some help so that you can realize that there are more important things in life than 10 extra pounds.

 

Haha.. that is what I was going to post.

 

Yeah, substituting food with coke will make you look simply gorgeous. :ack:

 

Oh, you silly healthy people.

I was hoping people as fucked up as me would post replies.

I don't care about looking good. I care about feeling good. Yikes.

I'm rethinking my starvation during the day. Or maybe switching to eating in the morning? I think I've screwed up my metabolism quite a bit. I'm not sure if my antidepressants are helping with that either, (Lexpapro), which I've stopped taking in fear of gaining weight from it.

Grr.

I really appreciate your kind, (and rather facetious) advice.

But I need weight loss tips.

Cocaine makes me sick. Bleh.

 

it's great that you're so eager to lose weight but be careful, you don't want to do a crash diet and then end up yo yo dieting. I have a great sitefor you though. it's a pretty cool one stop shop for weight loss resources. I find a lot of the info on there really useful.
Let me know what you think about it.

You're a nut.

 

You're not doing a very good thing for your health. At least drink some fruit juice instead of the caffeine...Usually losing weight takes time, it's better to take it easy...

 

meth works

 

OK-if you don't care about looks or health, pick a limb that weighs 10 pounds and amputate it. Doesn't get much quicker than that.

Seriously, get help.

I don't think your serious -- this sounds like a load to me. But on the off-chance that you are serious, or that there are folks who frequent our forum with these issues, I'm going to reply (though you can understand why I might seem sarcastic at times). However you can take my information and advice to heart, as I am training to be a licensed personal trainer and nutritional advisor.

Good.

STOP DOING COCAINE!!! Do you seriously think you need to do cocaine to get thin? Trust me, there are far safer, easier, cheaper and healthier alternatives.

Well then, cocaine is a great idea -- you'll be nothing but bones and death. And I'm dead serious.

In all honesty, this post is going to have a lot of difficulty being taken seriously when you're saying "I'll start doing lots of cocaine" and "Don't ask me how much I way". How can anyone help you lose weight if you're not willing to provide information and already have substancial issues that have to be amended before you can even consider losing weight? Your personal life has to be dealt with before the weight comes off. If you really want help, we need to know your stats.

Start eating more. Sounds contradictory, but what's happening here is that your body is being turned on "starvation mode" and when you do finally feed it, it's taking every single calorie that you put into your mouth and storing it as fat for the next period of "starvation". You want to speed up your metabolism, so start eating food (REAL food, not garbage like fast food, junk food, fake food -- essentially if it comes in a box or bag or has an expiration date that's longer than a week, it's not real food).

Excuse. You can either get up 30 minutes earlier or go to bed 30 minutes later, you can skip an episode of some television show, you can change your routine, you can study while walking, whatever -- 30 minutes a day of exercise (in your case, any exercise) is absolutely necessary.

Stop drinking coffee. Replace every liquid you drink (alcohol, juice, pop, coffee, etc.) with water. I don't care what you drink or for what reason, you need to drink water. Lots and lots of water. Coffee will give you a jolt of energy, and then make you crash and be lazy.

You're not drinking enough. What's more, you're drinking too much coffee, which is making you pee more, which is keeping you dehydrated. Drink more water. Eliminate every other liquid.

You are -- you've convinced your body it's starving and needs to retain every calorie you're giving it. You're not flushing out the toxins from your body and then you're feeding it more by drinking coffee. Stop everything you're doing and eat fruit, veggies and meat. Lots of all three.

So you have an eating disorder too. Great, yet another thing to have to deal with along with your cocaine and starvation. Call Kids Help Phone, you desperately need help.

First off, you're not going to lose it overnight. You didn't put it on overnight, either. It'll take time, so don't expect effects to start overnight.

Furthermore, you're on a path of complete and utter self-destruction. You don't have anyone to blame for these things you're doing to yourself but you. And you have only you to look after you. You're abusing your body mercifully and you have to stop, or you will die. It's that simple. Seek help immediately.

My pleasure.

 

You will naturally lose weight and body fat by consuming fewer calories. My advice is take it slowly. Maintaining a Body Mass Index within the lower end of the NIH recommendations of 18.5-22 is fine. Purge your diet of all bad fats, includingtrans) fats, such as shortening and margarine. Saturated fat, such as in meats, some dairy products and tropical oils like palm and coconut. A daily intake of 1,900 calories is plenty. www.calorierestriction.org www.LivingTheCRWay.com

 

man.. dumb, self-loathing girls whose only concern in life is how much they weigh. gotta love it. why don't you go read about some real problems in our world and see how insignificant this thread really is

I started to write a response and then realized that I'm not exactly a good person to give my "tips" on this, considering the fact that I've battled both anorexia and bulemia, as well as have a distorted self image (I look in the mirror and see a "fat" girl no matter what I weigh) since I was 9 years old. My weight has been up and down most of my life, I've done the starving, the binging, the purging, secret eating (I still really hate eating in front of others), laxatives, diet pills, you name it.

I thought over the past several years I had finally beat things, that I was at peace with who I was, loved my body, but it seems I've gone into another version of weight obsession. Yet again.

By that I mean, I work out daily to keep my weight low, which is good, but I hurt most of the time because I never give it any rest. And if I eat more than what I think I should have, I'll immediately work out more afterwards. So while I'm healthy as a horse and my body looks really good, it aches like hell everyday of my life.

I tried getting help several times throughout the years, and I hate to say this, but nothing changed. I didn't want to change however, I felt powerful in having the control. Sometimes it feels like weight is the only thing I can really control in my life, which is why I think I don't really want to get help again. Plus, I feel ashamed, embarassed that I'm this way. I've not really told anyone besides this board that I've realized I'm having problems again, although I know some of my family have picked up on it, my mother mainly. Anyway.

I can sympathize with the way you are feeling. It's hard for people who haven't dealt with a disorder such as this to truly understand how it can take over your life.

This statement is a contradiction. You're focusing on looking a certain way... because you think that will cause you to feel good? It's a popular belief and is ABSOLUTELY false. You're on a goosechase. I can tell you feel a certain sense of desperation about getting to this imaginary point of feeling good, although it's not imaginary to you right now...right now it feels absolutely real. But it's a waste of time. I would suggest questioning your assumption that this is possible. Happiness is not found in some future moment that hinges on arranging things in your life just so (body image included). It is here right now, within you.

Have you ever played a game with a dog where you throw it an imaginary ball and it goes chasing it like mad, only there's nothing to chase? Your mind is doing that right now. It's throwing you an imaginary ball... it's saying RUN HERE FOR HAPPINESS.... and it points somewhere and then you run like crazy. Never do you stop and question what the mind is doing. Never do you pause long enough to wonder if the mind is just playing a game with you, tricking you into running wherever it's pointing. Because as long as it tricks you like that you will never stop to look at it and never realizes that it's a trickster. Once you do that its game is up and you're in control again.

Do you want to be in control again? Or do you want to forever chase an imaginary ball?
