Raina Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 It began around 4 months ago, when i started gaining weight. So far it has been 10 pounds. I suspect that it is this new pill im taking because i didnt change my food intake and my weight had been steady for a few years until then. Of course it started making me unhappy, specially because summer is coming, i dont fit on my usual jeans anymore and im worried about what my boyfriend thinks. He confessed months ago he stopped enjoying his ex-girlfriend body because of weight gaining. Anyway, i've always had a sensitive stomach. Two years ago I had a gastritis that made me lose a lot of weight. For the last weeks I've been feeling completely out of control about what i'm eating. I always end up eating too much unhealthy stuff which makes me feel sick and i end in the bathroom throwing up. I'm not sure if I can call this bulimia since I'm not the one provoking vomit, its just my stomach feeling sick. I think I got a gastritis again because it feels as bad as 2 years ago. The difference is that I keep gaining weight this time. I could blame boyfriend issues or college exams but i'm not going to. I'm unhappy about how I look and feeling awful about this week holiday i'm having in less than a month. I'm honestly considering making up some appoitment so i dont have to go. I dont know how to get a hand on myself and stop this vicious circle. Im tired of waking up in the morning and promise myself that i'll eat healthy from then on and treat my stomach well. I never do and its so frustrating. I dont even have the strenght to go exercise anymore, it just feels so useless. Anyone ever been through this before? Link to post Share on other sites
Trialbyfire Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Raina, please go see your doctor before you self-diagnose. He/she might have some suggestions for you and also verify that there isn't a medical reason why you're feeling like this. A good doctor if he/she feels you have an eating disorder can provide you a referral to a specialist/therapist who can help you through this. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Raina Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 Thank you for your answer Trialbyfire, I will. I cant really go right away since I'm on college exams and they consume all my time but I'll arrange someting next month. Link to post Share on other sites
Trialbyfire Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 ((hugs)) Nibble on some fruit and veggies during the day, to at least keep up your nutrients. Drink plenty of water and take care of yourself. Link to post Share on other sites
baker23 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Raina, I second going to the doctor because he/she will give you a better disgnostic. I have also found out that whenever I thought I was going to try and eat healthier, for some reason I would eat worse than I would normally do; not only would I eat more, but I would also eat lots of junk food. So I think that the more you stress about it, the more frustrated you'll feel. My suggestion, go grocery shopping when you are not hungry; buy lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, and place them on small ziploc bags to bring with you wherever you go. If you get the muchies, just eat what you have with you; at least you won't go out of your way to get something you'll regret eating later. Take care of that gastrities and good luck.
