Because it's not normal (and you must be aware of that!) there may be an underlying health situation that needs your attention...how's your confront? It may be a simple thing that requires a handling, and then all will be well...as to vits to bring back the appitite, I've never really heard of such..Good luck and do what ya gotta do on this...

Some people do have a craving such as this with little effect. You must have several blood sugar levels done to rule out diabetes. Glucose tolerance test. \n\nIf you don't have this problem, then not a big deal. Unless there are an adverse effects on you in some way to your health. I hope you are getting the other nutrition as you should to balance some of this.

How tall are you and what are you at now?  In my senior year of high school I used to obsess about what I ate and I joined the cross country team.  I dropped 30 pounds pretty easily.  \n\nAs I started to learn more about health, I have kept doing cardio and weight lifting to maintain a healthy body weight.  Plus I took a nutrition class in college and learned some good things.  Now I let myself indulge sometimes, but understand I should put more good then bad into my body, and eat the right amount.  \n\nI recommend eating calcium rich foods since you probably had bone loss with your disorder.  Plus doing impact exercises like running and jumping will help your bones to become stronger and denser.  Good luck!

It is an illness, eating disorder. Your brain tells you to keep eating,all the time.You eat till you vomit & eat some more. Big weight gain, strain on heart. Strokes can also be a problem.

Good job in recognizing this as an addiction.  Please get some professional help immediately; almost no one can stop this on their own.  One factor that keeps you addicted is when you consistently undereat.  When you undereat, your body does its best to MAKE you eat -- and that means constantly causing you to think about food and obsess about food!  This sets you up for a binge.  You are fighting your own biology, and you cannot win.  The only solution is to accept your body's natural hunger and learn to eat whenever you're hungry, and treat yourself with kindness.  It is impossible to maintain a weight too low for your body and NOT obsess about food.  Once you're addicted to binging/purging, it will take time and effort to break the habits, but it absolutely can be done.  Hope this helps.  I've been there.

Check out www.hufa.org.  Your gaining weight and your obsessing about your body may be signs of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).  \n\nI hear you about the inconvenience - except thank goodness for crock pots.  I just made a tasty soup/stew that only took chopping up the meat and veges.  I froze what I don't need now, for quick meals in the future.

Whats bothering you?  Most people don't realize that binge eating is like binge drinking, so its almost an addiction.  while your eating try noting down what your thinking about.

It could be stress, diet, disease....what has the doctor said about it?

Neurological maybe? Eating is sending wrong message to the brain perhaps? Our bodies do what our brain tells us and maybe the association with food get crossed messages as to what to do when you eat. You need to see a neurologist. The brain also controls movement and the lack thereof. But continuing to eat and not find the culprit may take a treatable condition at this point and create a more severe condition. Please look into it early.

I think hunger is just as much a mental thing as it is emotional and physical. I believe that you are doing all to keep your physical self from being hungry, it's the emotional you that is hungry. Try a new hobby or something to keep your mind busy. And, keep telling yourself that you are working for a better you, all the way around.\nBest of luck to you

no. go look in a mirror and even if its hard, try to think about it realistically.  look at yourself as a whole instead of focusing in on different parts here and there.  you are not fat, you are thin. \ni have a feeling that you dont eat very healthily and my advice is too eat regularly, even if its not a lot. even if its less than you should, eat regularly.

Have another serious talk with her saying "Hey I notice you havent been eating much, is everything ok??"  Don't accuse her of neccessarily having anerexia, as that woould put her on the defense...  Now you're coming across as a good concerned friend...  Maybe it has nothing to do with being aneroxic at all, maybe its a sign of depression...  Did she just recently lose someone close to her??  Or maybe a bad breakup??  Or heck maybe she just hasn't been feeling well the last few days...  See what she says...  If it's only been a few days or so since this pattern started and it's pretty sudden, it could be one of the above, just be there for her for the next few days till she slowly gains back her appetite...  IF however this has been an ongoing issue, whether or not she admits it (she'll probably be in denial even with herself) I would then say "well, you might say it's no big deal, but I am truly concerned for you..  I have noticed that all you ate today was a tic-tac and an apple, or whatever, and then tell her this is not healthy...  Mention again what you said about the running and healthy foods, which should be part of any healthy lifestlye, even if your not on a "diet", tell her you want her to help yourelf, but she's gotta do it when she's ready, and in the meanwhile if she ever needs anything to call you day or night to talk (even if it has nothing to do with food, like i said earlier there could be an underlying emotion helping cause this, the best thing you can do is just be there as a friend)...  From there back off for a few days or so, unless you see herself in an immediate life threatning situation, such as she's talking about suicide and stuff...  See if she takes your advice and starts to get help oh her own...  If she doesn't look like she's going to take responsibility for her own actions and seek help on her own, then you might have to...  Maybe go to her again and say "You know I noticed this situation hasn't getting any better (and possibly even worse) You leave me no choice but to go to the authority (whether it be a councelor, school nurse, trusted teacher) myself, that's my duty as a friend...  If you'd like we can go together to talk to them, and I'll be there every step of the way with you, but if you don't come with me, I'm still going to tell them..." She might be mad at you, but in time will thank youo....  Aneroxia is a very seriouos conditioon and needs to be adressed, don't let the possibility of having a friend mad at you, stop you..  I'd rather have a mad friend than no friend, and aneroxia is indeed fatal in the long-term...  Thing is it's one of those slow deaths where your body will just weaken to nothing, but your not going to die from starving yourself one day, many people fast for religious purposes, etc. for a 24-hour period...  Your body has enough fat and nutrients stored that you can survive, but over time, it WILL kill...  PLease talk to her today, don't procastinate...  Good luck to both of you

Sometimes . Fortunately i don't have  any  weight problems, so i don't have to worry about THAT aspect.  I know that healthy eating has more to it. And i really  wish i could say  - yes, always. But... there are so many delicious things out there! And its  such a pity they are almost always unhealthy :)
