Joseph asks…

Where can I find pictures of…?

Women wearing standard white sports bras of different body types? A friend of mine has a very close friend with severe anorexia. She is seeing a therapist and nutritionist but still has many problems, especially with body distortion. I am most likely going to go into psychology and am very good with talking to people. Yesterday I spent most of four hours helping her through some things and coming up with activities that she could do to help her out. I know the standard one for people with eating disorders is to have a picture of themselves mixed in with others of people with varying body types and have them pick which one is theirs. Where could I find pictures like that? Does anyone already have the standard pictures for this activity? Thank you so much in advance for any help that you can provide.
She is very, very underweight and does not realize that she’s not the same size she was before the eating disorder started.

Laura asks…

Please, I need calorie help!?

I am 5’1″, 13 yrs, female, and currently weigh 93 lbs. Last fall i was about 118 lbs, but through sports and sickness i lost a lot. For a while after i got better, i was eating very little. I started running 2-3 miles and was only eating 1200-1500 calories a day.Now i am running 3-4 miles a day or going to swim team practice. I eat 1600 to 1800 calories, a recommended amount, but i gain weight! Between today and yesterday i gained 0.3 lbs!!! i want to know how much i should eat to maintain. Its really upsetting me. Please give advice if you know what you are talking about! Like, if you are a dietician or physical trainer or nutritionist. Please!
I weigh myself the same time everyday! i have a condition called chrons disease but it wouldnt affect this. I want to call a free nutritionist. my mom just yells at me to eat more. its almost depressing me.

I can’t answer the bulk of your question, since I lack the qualifications you requested.

I do have some experience with weight loss. From that experience, I know that weight can fluctuate throughout the day — sometimes by a couple of pounds.

In monitoring your weight, check your weight at the same time every day — preferably, just after you get up in the morning. Also, allow for variations from one day to the next. Instead of judging if you are gaining, losing, or maintaining your weight, from one day to the next, look for a trend over two to three weeks.

If you have trouble managing your weight, see a physician. Weight gain or weight loss can be a symptom of an underlying illness.

Michael asks…

Tell Me Did I Say Or Do Anything Wrong… Told A Thin Person How To Gain Weight?

I’m on a television message board and a member asked a general question about how unhappy she is that she can’t gain weight and asked for advice – she’s like 28 and said she is 5″8 weighing only 100lbs.

I told her that I’m not an expert on this but her best bet would to see her doctor and have them recommend a dietitian / nutritionist.

I also asked her if she eats 3 meals a day and what she eats, does she keep a healthy diet. I also asked if she exercises or works out at all – even something like walking or running every morning or plays sports.

She put me on block and I didn’t know why. Other members told me in private that this member has a history of clinical depression and anorexia and that I may have upset her.

I don’t see what I did. Even if I knew of her problems is what I said wrong?

admin answers:

You might have been polite when saying it, but what you said might have triggered a reaction to something in the past that has happened to her. I am sure that it will be fine soon.
