Let me applaud you because you are being proactive by reaching out. But, take it from an ex-anorexic, I WOULD NEVER WISH ANOREXIA ON ANYONE. JUST LIKE, I WOULD NEVER WISH A METH-ADDICTION TO ANYONE (even if they wanted to lose weight). If you can sincerely say that you tried to lose weight by doing healthy exercise and practicing healthy nutritional habits WITHOUT weight loss, then you probably have OTHER MEDICAL ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED - FOR YOUR OWN SAKE! Perhaps, you began to diet in a conventional way when it was too late - when proper medical attention (by people who REALLY CARE) will give you the proper tests ( and/or; the proper referals for those tests.
Have you seen an endocrinologist? If so, did you feel comfortable with your endocrinologist? Did you feel as if you were taken seriously (as a person AND a patient)?
Let me just tell you something... There are 10,000 reasons that people who are overweight JUST DON'T THE RIGHT ADVICE! I am not going to try to sell you ONE SINGLE THING. But, if you give me an insight to your personal and medical backgroung (are your parents overweight, etc.), I think that I might be able to give you advice as to which avenues that you can venture to find the answers to your questions and concerns.
LET ME JUST TELL YOU - THERE ANSWERS THAT CAN HELP YOU TO NEVER GO THROUGH THE PAIN THAT YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH UNTIL THIS TIME. YOU CAN LOOK MY NAME UP - DO A BKG. SEARCH - AS AN EX-ANOREXIC, I AM TERRIFIED WHEN I READ THAT SOMEONE WANTS TO STRIVE FOR THAT. AS, SOMEONE WHO HAS STUDIED NUTRITION, AND HAS HELPED PEOPLE FOR FREE, I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU ADVICE.
You don't EVER need to respond to me. Just respond to this forum. And, I will try to help you if I can. There are 3 personal issues that are important to me... any sort of eating disorder/issue is one of those 3. Whether or not I can help you, I'm glad that you are reaching out. And, I wish you the best of luck. Take care!
