Hello!

You’re writing that calorie counting is the only thing you care about on earth. Actually, this phrase already contains a solution: find something else that would be interesting to you. It could be a hobby, a sport, a new project at work. You can engage in self-development and start studying some interesting topic. When there are no other interests besides calories, all your attention is focused only on this. Therefore, it is important to have alternatives you can switch to. You should stop criticizing yourself and just solve the situation.

As for your friend, firstly, anorexia is a diagnosis that only a psychiatrist can make. Therefore, you should not ascribe certain diseases to yourself. Secondly, even if it is really anorexia, it is not infectious. Most likely, your friend’s accusations against you are just shifting the responsibility.

I'm sorry to hear that, are you sure you are having anorexia? If you do then please try seeing a doctor, and make sure of eating right, working out right, you need to really join a gym, once you do so it can push you to have a balance diet, you'll feel the need to eat by yourself, rest if you feel it's really serious, seeing a psychiatrist and dietician might help

Well I feel you need to see a psychiatrist, and talk about this because if you feel it's bothering too much

Because this isn't the right state of mind you should stay in

You should not be counting calories, unless you're into some strict diet and workout plan, even which isn't always calorie deficit, maybe you can get some medication for it , which can help you improve

I get it but the problem is people here don't take anorexia so serious so they don't really consider going to a therapist for it. I'm trying to recover by myself & i hope i'll cuz it's on early stages.

Thankyou!🥺

@whatonearth I understand

It's unfortunate but true, if you feel you can recover on your level it's great but incase you feel you cannot then please see a psychiatrist

Look the basis reason leading to every women turning anorexic is that they don't feel accepted if they're above a certain weight, you need to accept yourself the way you wanna be , the day you achieve that you'll not care about it anymore, I'm not against health, be healthy do gym but do it for yourself not to fit a criteria or be chosen by someone


I hope you heal

Take care love ❤️

You know i'm an mbbs student so, it's not that i got plenty of time but even if i don't count them now i'm at that stage i know about how much calories i'm consuming not intentionally but in my unconscious i still think about it.

But I'm trying to do better & i'm getting better too like i don't use any app now like before & i feel more confident being myself. Trying to not define my worth by any scale hope it gets better.

& Thank you for removing that guilt thing about my Friend.🥺

Means a lot ❤️❤️
