Just a reminder

that starving yourself and working off uneaten calories will NOT make you look like this:

because these bodies are crafted from eating healthy, working out correctly, and eating enough. pass this on

I feel like I don't really have an ed. Sometimes I can restrict for months at a time and I KNOW I can b/p for months at a time (it's hell). But mostly I just binge then overexercise and stay the same weight. Do you know any long term affects of that?

You do have an eating disorder. Even if you are diagnosed or don’t believe it’s valid. Restricting, overeating and overexercising will damage your health. Your metabolism will be wrecked. Even if you stay the same weight, you’ll lose muscle and that will be replaced with fat, which is lighter (thus more of it). You’ll look bigger with yo-yo dieting/restricting. Don’t yoyo restrict and diet. I know an eating disorder is mental and this is easier to say than do, but strive for health and a lifestyle change. Please don’t hurt yourself anymore. If you’re looking for a sign, here you go - please try to recover.

Here are some Medical Tips/Facts about EDs

1. If you are eating very little, make sure you are consuming some sodium (not too much) so that you don’t induce hypotension.

2. Make sure you eat a banana or potassium. Many people with EDs collapse without it.

3. Learn the difference between water soluble and fat soluble vitamins. In short, water soluble vitamins are flushed from your system after it extracts the needed bits. In fat soluble, the extra unused nutrients from the vitamins are stored in your fat/body and can become VERY toxic to you if you contain too much of it.

4. Do not exercise if you are fasting or have eaten very little. This can destroy your health so quickly.

5. If you aren’t eating enough for a very long time and are underweight, there’s a chance you will lose the ability to have kids/ make someone pregnant.

6. Laxatives and vomiting completely diminish you of electrolytes. Electrolyte potassium plays an important role in helping the heart beat and muscles contract. Make sure you replenish them via sports drinks, pickle juice, etc.

7. Your metabolism will crash. That’s why most former people with EDs end up rebounding into obesity.

8. Food restriction and/or vomiting will cause gastroenteritis. This in turn causes bloating and nausea (plus a whole slew of other symptoms.)

9. Severe binge eating has been known to actually rupture the stomach and cause a life-threatening condition.

10. The brain consumes around 1/5 of your consumed calories. Lowering your calorie consumption damages/impairs the brain.

11. You will lose your sex drive. The hormones, testosterone and estrogen, are produced by the fats and cholesterol we eat. If none present, the hormones fall.

12. Make sure you have some iron. You can self induce Anemia if you don’t.

13. Start recovering or encourage your followers to recover. We all know what damage we are doing to our bodies, so I don’t wish it on anyone else. Recover.
