Im afraid of being fat and gaining weight

i'm 5'4 and weight 95ibs and im constantly trying to control my weight. some days i go with only drinking fluids and some days i even starve myself. i know this isnt normal but im so afraid of getting fat and looking like my mother that im always trying to stay in control of the way i look and my intake on food. im getting a little scared because im always tired and it takes so much effort just to go out for a nightly jog. is this normal for anyone? do other people have this issue?

(p.s) don't tell me i need to seek help. i am not looking for help. i'm just looking for some1 out there who suffers the same issue as i do.

    Ok all you people who are telling you to keep it up are losers. Firstly, yes I am quite like you, and secondly its not a good thing, its obvious, because lack of energy from lack of carbohydrates and so on and so forth. I know you said you weren't seeking advice, but I've been through exactly what you're going through, now I know better, eating healthy and excercising the right way is the way to go!! Its not easy, but its worth it, I've now got a fit and toned body, better than being skin and bones like before. Plus the energy and sense of well being. Once you start feeling good you don't want to stop you actually want to do it :) Please don't harm yourself!! Yes, after dieting the way that I did I got serious health issues. After losing so much weight the unhealthy way I was, always cold (hands, feet & shaking), dizzyness, low iron, low vitamin c & d and psychological anti-social issues along with it, because I was so determined to lose weight I missed out on everything else. Plus you will most likely gain the weight you losr back. Diets are temporary, life style change is what it should be, its what I'm aiming at. I'm sorry if I dragged this on, but I want to help and support :) Good luck sweetie all the best!!

    P.S. Don't forget; no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

  • have you thought about eating healthy and drinking lots of fluids? because truth is... when you stop eating, your metabolism gets all messed up and you dont get the vitamins and GOOD fats that the body needs to function correctly. you are definitely NOT fat. i'm 5'4" and weigh 98 pounds, and my friends say i'm skinny. but , i eat a LOT. just... don't be afraid of food, or gaining weight. one of the best things you can do (if you wanna get what you need from food), eat a nice big breakfast. fruits or yogourt, oatmeal, cereal, toast.... anything really. you'll burn off all the calories you've taken during the day.

    last thing: you are HUMAN, you need to eat, it's just one of those things that'll probably never change. you won't gain weight if you eat, just don't overdo it. even then! you probably still wont gain.

    hope this helped !

    You should be around 110lbs. I'm 5'1" and 105. Go see a nutritionist about your diet.

    ok so no... you shouldn't starve yourself because it's not good BUT i do understand why you would do this because I'm pretty sure heaps of people are scared of becoming fat, just at different rates. I think you should start to eat, small portions but eat BREAKFAST ( that starts your metabolism which processes your food quickly ) and just casually exercise. Maybe if you balance exercise and eating you can eat healthy and never feel guilty! Please don't starve yourself because it can lead to such bad problems which will lead to seeking help so you should stop this yourself before someone else has to :)

    If your goal is to be attractive then the thing to do is to lift weights and gain muscle and to eat a good variety of healthvy vegetables, and organic meats. eating healthy not only will help you gain muscle but your face, hair, etc, which equals sexy face and body. plus you will feel a lot better, be happy, etc.

    you need to drink MORE water if you want to loose weight. water will help your body flush out all the toxins. no more than 2 litres a day though because you could harm yourself. and your always tired because you dont eat. you have to eat to live and if you want to keep your weight healthy then eat healthy. dont eat any processed food. eat a couple of pieces of fruit a day, lots of fresh veges and about 100gm of meat in your dinner. fibre will also help you maintain your weight. also keep the portions of your means healthy too because even if you eat the healthiest food but a lot of it, then you will still gain weight. experiment with different foods and cooking different things and you will soon learn what will help you loose and maintain your weight. good luck!

    Careful, if you want to be able to have kids in the future, you might want to rethink your lifetyle choices. Women who starve themselves and over excersise don't get their periods. Just sayin'.

    Normal as, I am exactly the same. But then I found the secret of weight loss/stating slim, and it's not eating less. The reason you have no energy to exercise is because you're not eating. Try eating in moderation, don't starve yourself hey because that doesn't work, I've tried that. Eat normal serves of food and exercise more and you'll never get fat. Best of luck :-)
