Has anyone been overweight and lost but then developed and eating disorder?



(i mean slightly overwieght people who just stopped eating and got to into weight coming off weekly they just lost control)

I was never overweight but because I thought that I'd look better after losing a few pounds, I cut back on calories and tried to have a healthy diet. I did good for the first month or so but slowly, I started dropping my calorie intake by each day. That lead me to survivng on 300 calories a day which I mostly consumed when I was around people so that they would not think strangely of me. I couldn't keep up with that forever though because I loved junk food so I later found myself binging on my favorite foods and throwing them up...

I knew what I was doing was wrong and although it took time, I slowly gained control over myself with slow painful steps. Now I make sure that even if I am not in the mood to eat, I get at least 1200 calories a day although it's hard sometimes.
before i gave birth i was 142 pounds, during muy pregnancy i went up to 204 pounds, and two months after i gave birth i was 124 pounds. i looked in the mirror and all i saw was a huge fat cow. i used to think i looked beautiful, after i lost the weight i thought i looked awful, it was humiliating to look in the mirror. all i saw was fat, i never saw the bones and dark circles under my eyes, so i became bulimic, and then i stopped eating. i went down to 114 pounds whick for my bone size was deathly. it put me in the hospital hooked up to tubes and a heart monitor. i cried everynight i was away from my baby. I learned very quickly that losing weight wasnt worth dying.
its been 5 years and i now weigh 141 pounds and i feel great, a little chubby, but i wouldnt want me any other way. hope i helped, and please take care. there is nothing wrong with being "soft" most real men LOVE this!
