First, I have no money for a doctor. Second, my insurance won't cover eating disorders, so having them pay for a doctor visit is out of the question. I lost my period when I was a senior in High School, and fell into anorexia for two years. I'm almost a junior in college. I'm 5'6'', and about 105-110 lbs. I'm thin, but I feel really good. I have a normal appetite, I excersize when I can (which isn't everyday, probably about twice a week). I eat a variety of healthy foods within my budget, including nuts, fish, meat, eggs, fruit, veggies, whole grains...I do it all, and even eat candy and icecream and pizza if have the extra change. But no period. I'm not sure what to do, and eating more would be out of my budget and an inconvenience. Here's and example of what I eat daily: breakfast: 1/2 c oatmeal, 1 c soymilk or cow's milk, banana, big green salad lunch: 1 10'' flour tortilla, 1/2 c refried beans, large apple, 1/2 c peas, big green salad dinner: hummus or turkey sandwich, 10 baby carrots, an orange dessert (sometimes) about 5 hershey kisses, or 1/2 c icecream --------------------------------------------------- I don't see anything wrong with this diet. I don't see anything wrong with my lifestyle. I'm not emaciated anymore. Can anyone give me some advice BESIDES "go to the doctor". I CAN'T.

I lost my period for three years because i was so underweight. I'm 19 now and I tried everything to get it back (eating a lot of fat, etc.) but the only thing that got it back was gaining 25 pounds to get to a healthy weight. I'm sure I look better to everyone now even though Im not totally OK with it. But you should try to gain 10 pounds or so so you dont get osteoporosis and have trouble later in life. Good luck |
