Day 2 - Feb. 5, 2007
Maybe I should tell you more about myself...
I'm 25 and weigh 112 pounds at 4'11". My BMI is 22.6. A healthy BMI is between 18.5 and 25. I know I have a healthy BMI, but there is a lot of fat on my body. I don't like exercise much. I would much rather restrict calories to lose weight. People haven't been very supportive of my methods. I also have an eating disorder, but it's under control right now. I binge and purge. My goal weight is 95 pounds. At that weight my BMI will be 19.2, still normal. I admit I have problems with my body image. I just think things will be better for me at 95 pounds. It's still healthy so I see no problem in trying to attain it. My plan is to eat a max. of 800 kcal/day until I'm 95 pounds. Once I reach 95, I will eat more until I stop losing weight and then maintain my weight. I'm taking a calcium supplement and multi-vitamin because I know I'm not getting enough nutrients from my food. My plan for Feb. 5: Breakfast: 1 package instant oatmeal 180 kcal 1 multi-vitamin 0 kcal 1 calcium chew 20 kcal Lunch: 1 can salmon 120 kcal 1 cup noodle soup 70 kcal Dinner: 1 cup Romano beans 260 kcal 200 g broccoli 70 kcal 1 calcium chew 20 kcal Total: 740 kcal I burn about 1400 kcal per day. So with eating about 800 kcal/day I have a deficit of 600 kcal/day. I will lose about 1 pound a week. I hope I get support here. |

You are at the lower end of the weight range already. I hope you've checked with your physician about your plan. There is a problem that some very well-trained athletes have when their heart rate goes very, very low. At that point, some minor anomalies can translate into rhythm problems, etc. With very low weights, there are some risks available too. I evaluate people with a variety of disorders, including eating disorders. I'd be cautious about going on a program that may be harmful for you. If your physician (or other primary health provider) says okay, then it seems okay to me, but really I would urge you to get a formal okay from him/her and to be willing to return to his/her care for ongoing follow-ups. Too little weight and electrolytes, essential muscle functioning, etc., will be negatively impacted. Have you checked your plan and goals out with your primary care provider? (I sure don't want to be a negative force, but if you were my daughter, I'd ask the same question.) Yours truly, Caleb |

Day 2 - Feb. 5, 2007
I know my plan is not the healthiest and I know my doctor would not
approve, but I just have to lose some weight. I'm taking calcium supplements and a multi-vitamin to make sure I don't lose bone mass or become vitamin deficient. My protein requirements are 20 - 36g of protein. On my plan I make sure I eat at least that amount of protein. Yesterday I ate 52 g of protein. I also eat beans for fiber. Yesterday I ate 23 g of fiber, pretty good considering I only ate about 700 kcal. I also make sure I eat veggies, about 200 gram's worth of a green veggie. I like broccoli. The broccoli also gives me vitamin C and A. I also drink about 4 mugfuls of green tea a day. That provides plenty of anti-oxidants. The tea also keeps me full. I'm not hungry on my plan. I think I can do it. I can't wait to lose some weight. I'm possibly meeting some online friends in May and I want to be thin by then. I'm also eating salmon everyday to get omega 3 fatty acids, good for my brain and heart. :-) I think I'll be OK with my plan. I'm a really small person so I don't need a lot of food. Your eating 2000+ kcal to 1000 kcal a day is much more drastic than my eating 1500 kcal to 800 kcal a day. My weight loss will be hopefully about a pound a week. That's a perfectly reasonable rate of weight loss. I want to be thin so bad I'm willing to do unhealthy things, but I'm trying to make my plan as healthy as possible. One of the advantages of sticking to my plan would be a reduction in number of binge and purge episodes. http://www.indoorclimbing.com/Protein_Requirement.html Jenny -- My goodness!

Jenny, I know you felt people were not supportive of YOU, but the fact is,
we were not supportive of your method, because of your problems with eating disorders. We didn't want to see you hurt yourself. You don't have to believe me, but we sincerely were worried about your physical and mental heatlh. "Jenny" wrote in message ups.com...

((((((((((((determined))))))))))))
You're right, people didn't support my methods because they cared. I'm sorry. I'm trying to recover for the most part, but sometimes I go back. I still have it in my head that I'm fat. I'll tell my psychiatrist about my latest struggle. I was better for a long time (like almost 2 months). I'd stopped counting calories and was maintaining my weight at about 112-113 lbs. I don't know what exactly triggered me to restrict again. I'm much happier when I eat normally. I don't know why I keep doing this to myself. Thanks for snapping me back into reality. I've got to tell my pdoc about this.

Jenny, if you are sure that your doctor would not approve, that makes it
even *more* important for t you to check in with him/her. You are so focused on your weight goal that you are ignoring the possibility of some serious risks. YOUR HEALTH is far more important than you weight! Please visit your doctor as soon as possible--and let us know what he/she has to say. Vitamins do not make up for severe calorie deprivation, and you can cause permanent damage to your health. "Jenny" wrote in message ups.com...
