"super-size me!"

NO, SUPER-SIZE HIM


*sigh*

Eat more, exercise more, your current behavior isn't healthy by any means.

You can borrow some of my fat if you'd like.

In fact, you can keep it! I'm sure I'll have no problem replenishing stock.

... but in all seriousness, besides "eat more," I don't have any suggestions. Are you exceptionally stressed out or something? That might be killing your appetite.

Yeah, I'm very, very stressed out from my parents and sitting in my room everyday, I'm losing sleep too

*shrugs* I'll try to exercise more, but the heat is brutal right now where I live

aaah! that might be the problem, maybe its cos your stressed out? when you dont sleep you feel lack of appetite or no appetite at all? i think i kinda understand. its also hard to sleep when its really hot

Your metabolism slows when you don't eat frequently enough, and then food makes you feel sick

*nods*

I'm not sure what else I can do besides take drugs, things really have been slow lately.

Nibble on things throughout the day to boost your metabolism, not full meals, but like, little bites here and there, and do some aerobic stretches in your room

It does? I've been eating like once or twice a day randomly for like hte past couple years.. that can't be good o.o

To quote a health website:

"# Don’t eat fewer than 1,000 calories a day. Your body and metabolism thrive on food. When you fast or crash diet, your metabolism will slow down in order to conserve energy. Imagine your metabolism as a blazing fire. If the fire burns consistently with the appropriate amount of high-quality wood, it will burn at a steady rate. But if it doesn’t have enough wood, the fire goes out. If it has too much wood, it can get out control — just like your waistline! "

that makes alot of good sense.. what site is this?

I second this. Make sure to get at least SOMETHING in your stomach each day.

eat lots of taces they is good :-P

I don't know how FA is supposed to help you eat.

DA didn't work either :I

Time for LJ! ;-;

If you're on antidepressants, those can suppress appetite.

Yeah, I'm going to taper off of them starting today

That might make it worse! See a doctor about getting your prescription changed. One of the symptoms of depression is loss of appetite. Sounds like your meds aren't working for you.

*nods* I did yesterday, I'm taking new stuff for my congestion, I don't feel sick anymore

DAMN YOU SKINNY SON

Rice is an incredibly efficient food, calorie-wise. You can't go wrong with rice if you're not eating much. Also: Go running. Either in the morning or at night, but find a route about a mile or two and do that every day.

i been telling you for about a month your too skinny if you don't start eating your body is going to start breaking itself down.
also experience tells me starvation causes long term health problems.

I still have health issues from starvation15 years later. please take care of yourself, much on some carrot sticks or something.

i wish i had your problem

Eat whatever you can get your hands on (Semi-crappy advice)

My meds fuck with my appetite. I eat before/as I take them for this reason.

I've lost lost a lot of weight due to stress before. I would often got for at least 24 hours without eating. Basically all I would eat was hamburgers, since fast food was the only thing I felt I had time for.

If else fails, I'd recommend getting at least keeping a bag of chips and some fruit handy. It's a lot easier to eat when everything is sitting there for you already.

I also agree with Stillman. I've been running every morning (involves getting up before 10) and my mood has been much better. I also feel like my day has much better structure to it, since I start it off with a routine activity that involves me getting off my ass.

Yet, you still weigh more then me (109 lbs).

I wouldn't worry about it yet. If you get under 110, then yeah, I'd see a doctor. The main thing i can think of is ti try to force yourself to eat.

Caution: you may have a parasite if it's been a relatively short amount of time since the weight loss. D:

Nah, I've been between 110 and 120 for a few years now, I've just beed losing a lot of weight from stress

Do you spend as much time as you can outdoors, to explore, to wander? Fresh air and long walks would likely help to reduce your stress, and this in turn might help your appetite. Doing this, and following Sharra's advice about eating small portions frequently throughout the day, might be a good way to boost your energy and your mood. It would certainly much be healthier, and much more beneficial in the long run, than sitting in your room and starving yourself.


Mark

"It would certainly be much healthier," is what I had *meant* to say. ;)



Mark

I do go out sometimes, but there's nowhere to go and it's so hot I can't even breath at times

The stress is from my parents pressing me to do what they want, I have very little choice other than to move out.

But I have no money and no place to go, so I'm stuck here

No parks, no forests, no beaches, nothing nearby?

In my childhood and my early teens, when I lived with my parents, I often went out less for the sake of going someplace than for the sake of getting out; it allowed me to survive. My parents were likeable and reasonable people, but like many teenagers, I could not stand to be around them for long -- I had to get out. And that, I think, is a healthy and normal reaction, especially if you feel trapped at home: an urge to wander, to see what lies around the corner.

If the heat is too much, then wear a hat and loose clothing, pack a sandwich, a bottle of water... and head out. That's really the best advice that I can offer you, under the circumstances. There is a world out there, waiting to be found.


Mark

You see, my parents won't allow me to do anything other than stay in my room. When I do try to go for a walk my dad just chases me down in the car and makes me get in

My will is broken, I don't know what to do

Are your parents psychotic...? :(



Mark

Very, verypsychotic, I get into fist-fights almost everyday with my dad over small things

You'll have to get out of there, or at least find help. Relatives, counsellors, friends -- there has to be *someone* who could help you out until you can find a steady job and a place of your own. At your age, you do have some say in the matter!

You take antidepressants? The doctor who prescribed them must know something of your family history; perhaps he or she could offer advice on support groups....


Mark

I've *tried* for years to do something, but I'm just too afraid to do anything on my own...

If you lived here in Canada, you would have many opportunities for assistance. I find it hard to believe, then, that your State, your municipality, would not at least have *someone* who could help. Community centres? Distress centres? Subsidized housing? There has to be something.



Mark

That's the problem: I want to live on my own, I want a normal life. I could move into a home, but that's not what I want

That's why this is a Dilemma

Are you by any chance a student?


Mark

No, I was home-schooled since the fifth grade

I wish I could help you, but I have no idea what community services might be available in your town or State.

Do you have friends online who live in your region, who might be able to dig up information on assistance programs?


Mark

No, I don't have many people who live near me

What about friends who live within your State: people who could at least find information about state-level services?


Mark

None, I have like three friends and they barely talk to me, zero friends in real life

I wish that I could help, but there really is nothing I can do.

At some point, you'll have to get out of there. And the sooner you get out, the sooner you can chart your own way through life.


Mark

O.o Why do your parents do that? Is there any time that you do get freedom?

No, I'm allowed to stay in the room on my comp and that's about it

jesus tittyfucking christ

SOMEONE WEIGHS LESS THAN ME WTF

<--- 5'6, 122lb

Why am I reading this now? AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! ROFL! *dies*

Yeah, doesn't help me much. Although after a rather nice session recently I DID eat 11 doughnuts in about 3 minutes. It was fun...

Eat

wish we could exchange problems in that aspect for a little while. I am plagued with the answer to the question "could I eat?" always ALWAYS being "YYYEEESSS GIVE ME FOOOOD NOM NOM NOM" >.<
