I'm trying to recover from anorexia and bulimia but right now it's just bulimia that I can't seem to get rid of. I went to the doctor on monday and I gained 1 kg since February which brings my weight to a total of 59kgs I'm about 171cm tall and that terrifies me because I've been doing binging once a week with no purge because my esophagus is now too weak to induce vomiting it could snap so after my weekly binge I just fast for the next 6 days. I got so upset when I got on the scale so I bought a slimming supplement which is basically a herbal supplement that you take before meals, I'm not that dumb girl that buys diet pills but I was desperate it's legit though it's on tv etc. I'm trying to study for my exams but I'm so hungry. I don' know what to do. Is it normal that I'm beating myself up for being 59kgs?

    There are some extremely thin people that are into this life path. It may be dangerous and have heath threatening consequences but it is worth the risk for some. Takes all kinds to make a world. I've always been attracted to very thin women since I was young. I used to smoke until I got cancer. I knew the risks but I chose to ignore them. If being very thin is what you crave then dont deny who you are to please others. For many living a long life isnt what they want anyway.

    I'm a male who had a problem with anorexia. I'm 6 feet tall and went down to 165 lbs. I forced myself to eat because my family and friends were very concerned about me. They told me I looked ill. I still see myself as fat but am now a healthy 190 lbs. Every day is a struggle. I just take it one day at a time. Good luck

      Glad to hear you're getting better. The hard part of EDs is the perception you have of how "fat" you are & everyone telling you differently 190lbs is awesome for such a tall guy like yourself. Will take each day as it comes as well don't need another relapse. Goodluck to you too.

    Try to enjoy eating more. Maybe cook, or don't be afraid to eat guilty pleasure food. Please be careful, I don't want you to hurt yourself.

    I'd say 59kg is a very nice weight.
    Having your height, I would be comfortable with anything between 57kg and 63kg.

    Please don't freak out and focus on recovering :).

    Here's what helps me when I'm hungry or have cravings: Bananas, Ice Cream, and Milk. Bananas keep your stomach full, ice cream is tasty but fairly low on calories (compared to most sweets), and milk...well, it's not as empty as water :D
