I just ate a Mcdonalds meal and I feel disgusted with myself.

I think you need to seek help. 95 pounds is an unrealistic weight for you. I just joined weight watchers and I am 5'4. A minimum healthy weight for you is 113 pounds. You are below this already. I noticed that you have posted this under concerned with aneroxic. Also, if you are thinking of throwing food up, you are leading yourself down the path to bulimea. Seek proffessional help. Get yourself to see yourself as you really are. Please let me know how you are doing.

Don't worry much about your weight or your physical appearance. Do not pressure yourself in attaining your goal in weight. You are definitely not a pig. And it is really hard to resist a McDonald's meal. It's a temptation. Don't throw up you might end up having eating disorders.

I had to work that out into stones because that's what we use here and I'm absolutely shocked you want to be that small!! Are you sure that is healthy according to your BMI? I'm not sure if you care but I'll be honest, from my perspective that is unnatractively skinny. I am about 5'8, 11 stone (154 pounds) and I like girls that are about your height and about 10 stone (140 pounds), does that seem alot to you? Because I can't understand it, it just makes me sad that people do this, I wish you would be happy with yourself! You're probably very attractive, you shouldn't be trying to make yourself so tiny! Food is something to be enjoyed, and an occassional McDonalds is a nice treat, you shoudn't hate yorself for eating it. When and if you hit 95 pounds, will it stop there or will you still want to be smaller do you think? Sorry, hope you don't think I'm lecturing you, I am just very intregued. Cheers

You are WAY off base. 95 pounds is far too small for someone of your height. You should weigh about 115. You are helping to portray an unrealistic standard for women to follow in this world. You make people like me feel like $hit for my weight, which i cannot help because i am pretty much wheelchair bound.

P.S. After rereading your discussion, I think you are anorexic, aren't you? Have you considered therapy? Please do. I am concerned for you.

Hello gaby_girl I think you should changes your mind, healthy is more important than weight. Don't hate your self, it will getting worst if you think about that. It would kill you one day. You are the most beautiful girl, so don't be so cruel with your body. God bless you

Well... I dont think there is anything wrong in eating in Mcdies... If you work out regularly, you will never put on weight... And yes, we should not eat junk food regularly... Once in a while is fine...

Nope you must not induced it i guess, its nothing wrong in eating there, but make sure that you are doing some exercises routines everday if you wish to eat such food served at mcdonalds..

You know beating yourself up is not very helpful. I also think 95 is a little thin for 5'3". I hope you don't have an eating disorder! Anyway, do not use this event to put yourself down. You slipped and fell. Pick yourself up and go on! Getting off track once doesn't make you or your diet a failure. On the other hand, if you are have a serious self-image problem and often find excuses to hate yourself, then maybe it would be a good idea to talk to someone about that. Whatever you do, please take care of yourself!

I hate to say it, but I agree with susieq...I think you might be way too obsessed with your weight and it sounds like you're demonstrating anorexic behavior...my goodness 107 pounds isn't exactly fat you know..I really think you should talk things out with a professional before you run into really serious trouble. By the way you're talking that you damaged yourself by eating a McDonalds meal...and hating yourself..see a therapist if you have such a hard time even eating one meal like that!

Hi there, I just wanted to share my experiances with you. When I was 13-15 I had a problem with eating disorders. I ate 500 calories a day at most and the only thing I ate until dinner time was sugar free jello, which had hardley any calories in it, so I could eat a sort of regular dinner without my dad catching on. Bad idea. I am 5'10 and was the same height at the time and I got down to 107, and like the one PP said, even though I was under my goal weight of 110, I kept saying, well maybe 5 more lbs, and also I thought if I stopped my jello diet, I would gain back so I kept doing it. My dad saw me all the time so I don't think he noticed how skinny I had gotten, but then I went to stay with my aunt for a few weeks over the summer and they noticed right away, I would eat a small salad at dinner with no dressing, bread with no butter ect. They realized I had a problem and told my dad, and they all started watching me like a hawk. Eventually I gave in and started eating right again and stabilized my weight around 120-125. Now I think 95 is too low for you, but that's just my opinion, I don't know you or how you look now, or if you have a big body frame or small so I can't really say much, but if your worried or your family is, take it seriously. It isn't worth it, and now when I see super skinny girls I realize it doesn't really look that attractive. Good luck! Keep posting here and let us know how you are doing :) PS we had mcdonalds for lunch too, it isn't SO bad to have it on occasion!

Hi Gaby, I don't know how old are you, but I know that when I was in high school I was also obsessed with my weight and even I was really skinny (5'25 and 92,5 pounds. I was even trying different cures for loosing weight. It was quite stupid because I was still a teenager, and during this period the organism is still forming and needs a lot of nutrients. Anyway I was not anorexic or anything because I really like to eat:). With the time my body changed, I gained some weight (now at 27 years old, I have 108 pounds) and I don't look fat at all, but I look like a woman (with all the stuff if you know what I mean:)). And my boyfriend loves it. If you ask any man they don't like skeletons, believe me, and you don't look healthy either. Regarding McDonald's food I would not recomand this anymore. I don't know why people in America eat so much crap, so much fast food.

Ok here's what I think. I am trying to loose weight too but I'm doing it my way. I simply stick to 3 square meals a day with no snacking in between. I have lost 20 pounds this way since january. However I have never been one to stick to my resolve and just last week ate half a chocolate cake. I'm talking a huge birthday cake sized one. The point I'm trying to make (admitedly in a way that probably isnt helping, sorry) is that everyone has temptations and urges to eat things that they know is wrong. Eating a mcDonald for example, let's think about it that entire meal probably didn't make you put on a pound so my advice to you is to not stress about the tiny mistakes you make and realise that one day you will look beautiful to yourself as well as everyone else. Be proud of who you are and then start to focus on who you want to be :) you'll get through this because it looks like you have a bunch of people who care enough to give you advice. I'm sorry if this doesn't help you but I have done my best. Good luck!

actually dieting is really hard especially when you were into eating a lot of yummy foods.if you really want to start dieting you must first set your mind what your goal is then motivation makes you build confidence then im sure from that you will be at ease when you do dieting ok.

I'm sorry you feel that way about gaining a few extra pounds.Its not much though and all i can say is if you can gain weight,you can loose em too.Thats the only that can bring you back to your regime of maintaining 95 pounds.Get into some strict diet or something,burn some extra fat that you've gained and dont ever go back to McDonalds.lol. Stick to fresh juices,they are the best.They keep you healthy and they tasty too.btw i appreciate your determination and objective of achieving something.Its always needed in life especially if you wanna be an achiever.Anyhow,all the very best and i hope you get back to what you wanted.

Enjoy your McDonalds meal. If you like it, enjoy it. I know that's not exactly something "memorable", but when you're old you're not gonna sit back and reminisce about being thin. You're going to think about the good times you've had and the time spent comfortable and doing things you enjoy. If you abuse your body trying to become extremely thin you will lose all those good times. Take care of yourself. Don't bend to fit in with what's in. If you start chucking your lunch and starving yourself your hair, skin and general appearance will suffer so much that it would actually be more attractive to be overweight. I've watched people I know waste away with things like anorexia. There is nothing beautiful about it. I wish you luck in getting things straightened out to the point you're happy.

I feel bad for you. Even at my highest weight (and I'm 8 mos preggo right now) I'm not that miserable. I know I need to change and have started to implement a whole foods diet. Meat and plant life, with little of anything else. I think that you are setting an unrealistic goal as well. I think instead of looking at POUNDS, you should go to what your body NATURALLY likes as its weight. I have a goal of between 155-170 for my 5'6 frame. Cause at your in your current state of mind, you WILL have to have an eating disorder to get to that weight... not many people can get away with 95 lbs naturally... unless you are asian decent.... One McDonalds meal will not kill you.. (well the trans fats and general unhealthiness of it might over time). Pick yourself up and learn to love yourself as you are.. you cannot change into who you want to be and love yourself THEN... it doesn't work that way... sorry to break it to you hun, but that is life. You got to deal with your issues, then lose.... cause you don't change things just by losing weight, your old issues will still be there.... I know this for a fact....

first , very glad to see you through internet ,i am a chinese,and i am a fresher too ,i want to make a friend with you,oh ,i am living in hangzhou chian,did you know the west lake? my email:rennywang@163.com hope for your reply .

I think maybe the underlying issue is being skirted here. I have struggled with anorexia for 25 years, and for the most part, it is not really about weight or appearance. Although outwardly we project that, it typically is a result of feeling a need to gain control over one's life or circumstances. Because this is one way we can take the ultimate control, it becomes rather addictive. Then, although we realize we have gone too far, we can't stand the thought of relinquishing that control for the sake of health and happiness. In other words, yes, I would rather be in total control than happy. Of course that is ridiculous to the average person, but to the anorexic, not at all. I was diagnosed at age 14, and hospitalized soon thereafter. My lowest weight was 82 lbs, and it was a terrible time for me. I say all of this because I want you to understand that I know those feelings, and although they may not seem logical to most people, they are real and should be validated. People with eating disorders have exactly that-- an eating "disorder." They are not trying to set standards for what women should look like, and most importantly, they are not thinking clearly so all the advice from well meaning people falls on deaf ears. Know that you are understood, and try to dig deep and find the possible reasoning behind it. That is a great step toward changing the way you see yourself.

I too am I girl, I want a nice figure, but I think what you are saying here is a little overboard. I mean, you can sometimes cheat yourself to eat at a fast food restaurant yknow. Then, burn it with exercise and diet by eating healthy foods, you are not a pig or anything you are 5'3 and having just 90+ lbs I personally think that you are too skinny for that. Anyways don't think much about your weight, eat as much as you can, but do watch what you are eating.. Eat healthy foods.
