Anorexic thinking

 

I'm crazy.

I care too much about my body. People tell me to shut up because I'm tiny. I do know I am pretty small, but I am definitely getting chubby. I feel it and my clothes are getting a bit tight.

I know I'm not "fat," but I feel it. Although my eating and exercise hasn't changed, I've gained 10 15 pounds. My periods are very very light and lasts a day. With my vision, I am able to see  clear enough to know if I have my period, but I can't tell anymore because it's so light. I asked my mom once... She said there was blood, but barely any. I think I skipped this month.

I have a small gut, so I think I'm gaining weight because I'm pregnant. That'd explain my periods as well.

 

Funny thing is, I decided to stop having sex when I got on the pill. I slipped and went against my decision in July, so I'm still blaming pregnancy. My tummy must be a baby forming inside of me?

 

I work out every day. I go to the gym and take a pilates, an intense cardio class, and do strength trainging with my personal trainer 2 or 3 days a week. When I'm at home, I try to walk on the treadmill or use my elliptical. I haven't felt sick and none of the workouts have been hard, so I can't be...

I don't understand why the weight won't come off though. I was 112 pounds around early March and am 126 pounds today. It doesn't sound like a lot at all, but I'm 5'1. I have a figure and could never (or would never want to be) as thin as a stick. It has been months, but with my daily exercise, I don't understand how I keep gaining weight. 15 pounds is pretty drastic. Some days I'm not hungry at all, so I skip meals. Other days when I am hungry, I intentionally skip a meal or eat something small. I know that's horrible, but I can't help it. Skipping meals/eating less doesn't make me lose weight which confuses me more.

I know a common side effect of birth control is weight gain. I was on birth control years ago before my accident, but it didn't affect my weight at all. I was pretty active though. These days, I have a serious sedentary lifestyle. Maybe the BC is affecting my period. I googled this and found that it does make periods lighter/shorter, but it's not like I'm even getting it.

Excuse me.

I'm entering the Halloween contest this year! My sister took some pictures that I'll post this week. When she was taking them, "suck in your gut." She laughed and said that because of the material, it'd make anyone's stomach look bigger. Since I can't see the pictures myself, my lovely pair of xanga eyes chose 3 for me. She tells me there's nothing to worry about, but of course she would. I'm afraid to post them on here. Hey, make me feel better and vote for me! I'm still cute with a tummy? and the prize is candy. Perfect.

I thought I was pregnant for the past 2 weeks, but after a bit of research, I realized that I've been taking bc for almost a year now, which is a result of my weight gain and lack of periods. If your stomach hurts at all, it's either from a poor diet, a lack of eating, or you're just stressed.

When this happens I cling to structure.  I start tracking everything that I eat to make sure that my perception of my diet aligns with reality.  I also track my exercise.  This really helps me keep it all in check.  I also learned that I drop weight much faster when I refrain entirely from drinking alcohol and carbonated beverages (even diet).  


I also suffer from a sedentary life style and it sucks.  Exercise is now mandatory ... but that doesn't stop me from skipping it.  haha.  


Also, I can't tell if you're serious or not... but take a pregnancy test if you're concerned about a potential pregnancy. 


Best of luck.  :)

Jen, you have nothing to worry about, and if you need me for anything you know you have my number and can text me. I am really bad lately with helping people it seems like, but if you need anything let me know. Also, I had a friend gain a lot of weight the first year she has been married and she is tiny like you--sure you will feel the extra weight, but that is not bad--since we both are rather petite it will show more, but listen...NEVER BE ASHAMED OF YOUR BODY, you are a goregeous woman and have so much to offer the world. I love ya, and believe in you always! :)

I don't get my period anymore with birth control, but I still get period symptoms like cramping and mood swings. It's probably just the BC. I think you're just gaining more weight since you're getting older. When I was 18 I couldn't gain weight if I tried. Now all I have to do is look at food and my hips widen.

I'm sure you still look great though :)

Maybe you should just get a pregnancy test to make sure. Then you wouldn't be wondering what the deal is.

Depending on the dosage of your BC, it can make your period nonexistent. High dosage birth control pills can also lead to weight gain and water retention. However, if you are worried that you are pregnant, take a test.

@xdeelynnx - I do think it's the birth control affecting my weight, but having so much trouble losing, I think of pregnancy especially because I skipped a period. I went on the pill to regulate it so I don't understand. @light_blue_fables - I keep track of everything on myfitnesspal.com. I was only drinking water for months but recently got addicted to diet coke. Maybe that's something! Haha thanks. @Endless21Echos - Oh thank you Erin :) you're always a great help and good support to talk to. I agree.. We're smaller so gaining some weight dramatically shows lol @lovejennyy - You don't get your period at all? I got on the pill to regulate mine. That happens? If so, I'm like either just taking birth control to gain weight or scare myself! @LadyofWaters - I'm planning on it if I don't get my period in November. @ImNotYouOrMe - Haha I got offended until I finished that sentence! But thanks. @Erika_Steele - Thank you for that. I had no idea that birth control could stop your period.

I guess a simple drug store test kit will tell you if your are pregnant.

I was diagnosed with anorexia a few years ago and I am an old guy---I thought that was for teen girls--and it mostly is.

Hope you get some stability with your weight.

if you are working out as much as you say you are, you may have gained muscle and that weighs more than fat. bc pills can mess with your periods and can casue weight gain.  like others have said...do an in home preg test

I agree with most of the people and wanna say it's probably due to the BC. This is what happens when you take extra hormones than what your body produces; everything goes outta whack :| If you're really unsure, you should talk to your doctor or take a home pregnancy test.

I still remember your Halloween costumer from last year, the bumble bee, and the picture with your dog, it was very cute ! I wouldn't worry too much about the whole weight thing, it's normal that it goes up and down over the course of a year. I always feel fat after eating tons of food, but the next morning after going for a long run I feel thin.

I would say it's a great idea to go visit a doctor and see if you can find out more information about your appetite, period, and/or possible pregnancy. It never hurts to get more information and if you think there is a chance that you are pregnant you should definitely go.

I know you take great care of yourself and live a healthy lifestyle so I really don't think you have anything to worry about in that regard. Basically the Xanga Premium just takes the advertisements off your site, and allows you to upload all of the photos you want every month. I use it for the photos since I'm always uploading them.

I do wish you all the best with everything. Take care and enjoy the rest of the week, bye for now.

Kyle

@xraindropsonroses - You are so weird lol @ANVRSADDAY - I think anorexia is more common with teenagers as well. I'm not seriously anorexic. Even if I wanted, I could never. My mind set is stupid. Love eating food, hate being fat haha @buddy71 - I know that muscle weighs more than fat, but I'm not upset over my weight. More so my body. I am definitely not getting bigger because of muscle! @hilabpartnerxD - Totally out of whack. Birth control is just a bad decision. I started it to regulate my period, butt it's just making me crazy. @kyle061685 - Thanks. I think my costume this year is awesome. Vote for me! :) I actually feel the same. After a day where I had a good workout, I wake up feeling thin. About premium.. I guess it didn't do much for me, so oh well it expired.

You sure are obsessed about the weight gain. Sometimes you can get pregnant even while on bc's. Do a pregnancy test. I am sure it will be negative, but that might relieve your worry.
