I need some advice.
-
Hi everyone here from SGForums.
My name is Alvin and i am 18 this year.
I have a problem for around a year already, and i am alway aware of it and i really need advice.
Last year, around Janurary, i realised that i am near the overweight mark. I stand 172 and weighs at 70 kg at that time.
At first, i cut down on food for a few weeks and i am rather active as i play football every weekend, it does not really help.
Then, i watched on tv, a guy managed to drop his weight, by vomitting after food consumption.
I did just that.
After sometime, my weight really dropped. Food explusion became a need for me now.
Now i stand at 172 and weighs 55 kg. I am still having that problem.
Somedays (once or twice a week), i would gore myself with food, soothing myself, then force them out.
Most of the time, i would just live 2 cups of coffee and one piece of bread for the day.
I need advice. I think i have got a disorder here. I know it myself, i cant stop. -
ask yourself why you want to undergo this when you can actually live a better life
if you got family members maybe talk to them
think for yourself bah
your health leh
and you not necessarily have to puke out all the stuff you eat just to lose weight
just eat normally and exercise as usual lor -
see lar. anyhow.
1. visit your friendly neighbourhood GP, they will see your condition and refer you to a friendly hospital specialist. if it does not help, try 2.
2. visit your friendly TCM clinic, ask the doctor for herbal prescription. if it does not help, try 1.
meantime, take multivits pills and start eating light. don't drink caffinated or alcoholic drinks, try soups and porridge to start. eat things dat are nutritious, and high in protein.. even if they are juz a little bit.
and for crying out, don't gore ur food down. ur tummy cannot take the stress. -
I've been thinking about it for some time already. I read up about it on the internet and i realised that maybe i need a psychologist.
I dont want to see a psychologist. I know i am perfectly fine with my body whatever, but that problem becomes a habit. I tried not doing it for days, i feel damn uneasy to the extend that i would not even take in anything except plain water.
I feel that hunger is a better feeling then being full.
I think my father suspects it. He tried to get something out from me yesterday. I said i was brushing and went too deep into the throat. -
Try the oxo soup diet.
Take nothing but OXO soup for a week. -
have you ever vomitted blood out??? if you have, you really MUST see a doctor because it might be internet bleeding which might be extremely dangerous.
i would advice you to see a doctor ASAP and also let your parents know.
for the time being, take soft foods as they wont be as demaging to your body esp your throat when you purge.
since you say that you dont have an issue with your body, then this should not be too hard to cure. -
Bulimia ...........this stinks of bulimia but u need someone to diagnose u.
Anyways
Just take small servings of food when u feel hungry and eat til ur satisfied.
Don't chuck all at one go - I think ur already psychologically conditioned to chuck it all out for a reward (losing weight)- hence it forms a habit . You have to recondition yourself slowly.
If it continues and you lose weight further - please seek professional help. -
my only advise to u is.
take a deep breath...pluck out ur courage and go see a doc NOW!
gd luck

dont make yourself do that kind of thing. food means to enjoy 1. dont eat ready then vomit out. fat nvm wad. i see some gals go out with fat guy, and those gals is really ichiban 1.
got this brazilian model, too obsessed with being thin that she died of starvation! -
eat more friend food
-
from your habit, i can see that u are losing muscle mass to fuel up your body.
kick the bad habit off..go to gym or do some cardio exercise. it may help you in your appetite.
or you control your withdrawal symptom. force yourself not to puke. play games or what ever to move away your concentration. -
1.72m , 70kg
Not very heavy ma
*faint*
must be unattached or U trying to attract which girl?
U are a guy, not gal, so dont really need to slim down.
and u are only 18 YO, entering NS soon,
can tone up when u go in, so no hurry
I think its your self confidence thats wrecking havoc -
grab some cash n see a doc. how hard can it be? even u say that u need a doc. haha...
as for psychiatrist... dun recommend that. when u enlist, they'll ask if u went to see a shrink before and if u tick 'yes', they'll think that u r nuts.
come to think of it, if u want a slack life in the Army, then by all means, go see one.
-
yes see a doctor.
-
ermm yea... i think its bulimia..
u put ur finger in ur mouth after u finish eating rite? how to solve the problem??
Its never about the food. Its about your self-esteem. So wad if u're fat? There's always someone fatter than you and i bet he is leading a happier life than u.
Find someone to talk to or u can pm me if u dont mind sharing ur problem with me.
I strongly suggest you to seek a psychiatrist. Bulimia do cause complication to your stomach and other parts of your body. Its best to seek early treatment and its never too late to do it now. -
omg. thats dangerous...
dun anyhow learn from tv.. not good. i rmb i watch a show about girls who always vomit their food out. better see a doctor..
vomit every meal very xing ku one leh.
btw. just an advise better try stop this thing now. several years ago when i was still a kid i vomitted once really 'hard'. then later got red dots on my face then i went go see doctor. when i puke i use too much energy , thne the vessel burst. but luckily not fatal or anything.. -
it actually hurt ur esophagus. If u do ct scan on the throat, u actually can see scratch mark on them
-
Binge on food at certain times, and force vomiting a while later. That sounds like classic bulimia to me.
My advice to you is to see the doctor immediately. First thing tomorrow morning. No kidding. Whichever GP clinic that is open on Sundays. The fact that you've lost about 15kg in the past few months from bulimia is certainly a cause for concern. -
purging can also cause other blood vessels to burstOriginally posted by ifish:it actually hurt ur esophagus. If u do ct scan on the throat, u actually can see scratch mark on them
it might or might not be an eating disorder. an eating disorder is really about the mindset rather than what you are doing (binging and purging). if you have issues with how you look, and are really unable to eat cos you think you are fat/imperfect etc. then its most likely an eating disorder. i suppose thats how you got into this habit
thing about purging is that once you start, its kinda hard to stop. and soon, it might become so bad where once you swollow food, it automatically comes back up...
coffee and bread are NOT good things to purge. starchy foods are bad. try eating soft foods that come up easy. and drink water instead of anything else. im NOT saying that you should purge. but until you can get yourself to a doctor, find foods that are easy to purge. and since you have been doing this for so long, it really would be best that you tell someone about this ASAP... -
wait, first, stop doing the goring action. it's bad for ur throat and ur body.
nxt, this is a eating disorder, try consulting ur family doctor or a GP about tips to Quit that action. Ur weight to high ratio is considered ok now, so just eat, don't worry. with constant exercise, i can assure u that u will nt be over weight. Don't stop eating because u have lost weight. it's nt a right thing to do. -
*edit: my bad, didn't read carefully the first post. You definitely need to see a doctor for this disorder.*

We are not professional here,seek advice from a doctor that the best answer which i think you yourself should know.
