Q. Okay so I'm in health class, actually right now lol, and my friend and I are doing a project on eating disorders; bulima, anorexia, and binge.
We already know the effects and weight losses (gain) of each of them and would like to know
them mixed or put together.
So to get the 10 points will you guys please answer these 2 question (if you do use a link, please paste that..on account it is a school project & we do have a bib page!)
1. How much weight can be lost if a heavier, fromer binge eater turns anorexic?
2. How much weight could be lost if a person is a bing eater & anorexic?
Thanks guys! These kind of examples will look great in our project.
**DONT FORGET 10 POINTS!

A. To be totally honest it really depends on the person. I've had experience with all those eating disorders. I was a bulimic and managed to lose about 20lbs in a month and a half to two months. Then I gave up purging because it ruined my voice and I gained about 30lbs in three months (horrible, I know) and just recently I've stopped eating very much (like 800 calories per day) and I exercise A LOT and within five days I have lost six pounds.
My best friend lost weight in a healthy way and lost 30lbs in two months, and then she became anorexic and within about three months she went from 130 pounds to about 90 pounds (which for her 5' 9" and medium build she just looked horrible at).
The more you weigh the faster the weight will come off at first, so a binge eater turned anorexic will lose loads of weight at first but then the weight loss will slow.
If someone is a binge eater they're most likely not anorexic, but if they will binge maybe twice a week and starve the rest they would- depending on their metabolism lose a few pounds per week or maintain if they were to starve for three days and binge the rest.
But to be honest it really all depends on the person, their sex, their level of activity how much they binge, how often they purge how many calories they take in every day and their metabolism.
If you have any more questions feel free to email me.

2 questions about anorexia?
Q. 1.do anorexic people think that slim(regular size) people are fat?
2. has anyone ever heard of an anorexic person who turned into a binge eater?
no i dont suffer from anorexia or binge eating or anything im just curious.

A. 1. Not necessarily. Anorexic people usually have the mindset that they themselves are fat, no matter how skinny they actually are. This could be considered a distored self-image. However, they don't really see slim people as fat - just themselves.
2. Binge eating is typically related to bulimia, but bulimia can lead to anorexia, and vice-versa. So yes, it is possible.
Hope that helped. Anorexia is an extremely serious disorder, and if you have it / know anyone that has had it, I really hope that you'll get some help, or at least talk to someone who can help you out.

A. Dearest Janey,
I am so glad you know it is not good. Can you stop? It is not at all uncommon for compulsive overeaters to switch to bulimia and/or anorexia to control their addiction to food. I remember a woman who lost185 lbs and then got so obsessed with losing that she became anorexic, only eating bite size pieces of candy 3 or 4 times a day. She died at 85 lbs. Conversely many anorexics become compulsive overeaters. I read an article about such women who became plus size models. The problem is that the disease isn't obesity, the disease isn't anorexia or bulimia or compulsive overeating or binge eating disorder. The real disease here is addiction. And most good girls (lots of food addicts try very hard to be "good girls") can't reconcile with the image of themselves as no different from a heroin junkie. It is known now that sugar and chocolate and flour that quickly turns to glucose in our mouths (put a saltine in your mouth and let it melt...sweet?) all effect the dopamine receptors and the serotonin neurotransmitters in he brain. It is too complex for me to keep in my head and explain as I am not a neurologist. But it is these same pleasure centers that are lit up on PET scans when narcotics are used! Food addiction kills (I just got word today that my friend died from this disease) not just because of the physical side effects of all the permutations of his disease but from the horrid emotional pain that it causes. I have personally known 3 ppl with food addiction issues who have committed suicide. I am a sufferer of food addiction myself and have attempted suicide because of it. I am happy to say that today I am in recovery and grateful to have learned that this is a real disease, brain disorder, mental illness; and I am not a bad person with a weak will. Most food addicts have strong wills and that is our real problem. We have to learn to surrender our wills to a power greater than ourselves. It is a long process and some of us need more than just www.foodaddictsanonymous.org or www.oa.org (overeaters anonymous) or www.ceahow.org (compulsive eaters anonymous) or www.eatingdisordersanonymous.org for help. Some 85% of food addicts (anorexic, bulimic, coe) have been sexually and otherwise physically abused. And abstaining from compulsive eating behaviors and addictive foods can bring up memories that we tried to bury with the food. Sometimes the pain is so bad that more help is needed than just the meetings, tools and step work. That is when it is time to call in a professional for help. Sometimes it is necessary to get professional help just to be introduced to the meetings. That is how it was for me. I went to treatment for bulimia in 1984 and went to my first 12 step meeting there. There are very few places that treat food addiction as an addiction instead of a psychological only problem. www.milestonesinrecovery.com, www.shadesofhope.com and www.tpoftampa.com (Turning Point) are the only ones that I know of www.placeofhope.com is another place (The Center for Counseling and Health Resources) that treats eating disorders as a spiritual, emotional and physical problem but I am unclear about their understanding of the disease/addiction concept. I live near them and personally know several of the staff and clientele. www.foodaddiction.com is a business that brings recovery intensives to your city for much less $$ than going to a treatment center.
Janey,I pray you will get the support and help you need. If you can stop, do it now before you can't. If you can't stop, don't wait to check out these websites and call and talk to someone. You were brave to break your isolation this much (addiction, esp. food, is a disease of shame, secrecy and isolation) now break it a little more and call one of the toll free numbers listed on those websites. You can also write me thru my profile on yahoo answers. And you can always call a pastor or prayer group at a church for support too. If you don't know Jesus yet, call 1-800-NEEDHIM. If any of the problems, issues or thoughts that I have mentioned fit you, please find help now.
I am praying for you, Joy
