Hi...
I'm back again after being a "bad girl" over the past little while...Just not following what people are telling me. Anyway, something came up that confused me today. All this time, my dietitian has been telling me that I am losing weight "too fast" and that I shouldn't lose any more (and I am by no means thin. I'm 5'4" and 132 lbs as of this morning ![]() Bjork |

As for the "too fast" part, I have always been told you should lose no more than 1-2 pounds a week. Anything more than that is unhealthy.
Hope that helps!

If you're in recovery you should cut off negitive influences that would revert your thought patterns, like the comments did.
In recovery, you shouldn't be thinking about you weight. I mean, you should as it corresponds to HEALTH, not looks. You will be healthy if you follow your dietition's advice. The advice is hard to follow, recovery isn't easy. It's uncomfortable and you're going to want to stop. Don't. Give it a go. Make losing weight the healthy way your goal now. Maybe one day you'll decide that you aren't suited to that system. One day in the future. Let them guide you for now, they're not going to try to hurt you. :3 Good luck! I'm kind of confused by what she said too, by the way... o_o;;; Maybe it's my own disordered thought process that's making it seem like it, but 5 pounds every two weeks right? That's what, 2.5 pounds or so a week? Sound pretty healthy to me. If you're eating well and not being reckless with excersize that it. You need to bring it up with the dietition, they can probably clear it up for you. And darn it no losing 30 pounds isn't going to be good for your frame, please don't do that. >_<;

I'm not in recovery really. My parents *assume* that I am, but I'm not. I follow my own rules when it comes to the weight that it should be , and i do try to eat healthy things, but my mother makes me eat her dinners every night , which are usually not healthy.
The way I've been losing weight is by being very active at work (intentionally making it so that I have to walk to and from my desk for things and whatnot), and skipping or restricting lunch and snacks since no one's there to care what I eat. I'm not at home then, I'm at work. All I know is that I look *disgusting* now and I think that losing 30 lbs would fix that problem. I've lost *much* more than that in the past and it was okay. I just want to be "little" again and I think I'm going to keep re-arranging my diet as I've been doing until i get there. Hmmm... Bjork |

I think I had lost a little more than 5 pounds over those two weeks, I was just making an estimate. Whatever I lost made my dietitian and therapist "concerned". They're also concerned about the reasons why I may have lost the weight as well...
