Expert: Jeanne Rust, PhD - 10/21/2009

Question
Hi Jeanne,
So.. i've been on a water fast for 2 days now. I'm 5'9" and was 101.64lbs just a while ago... but when i started eating, it went up a LOT. I'm at 108lbs almost, right now... but i've been on a water fast for 2 days so far to get back to my low weight.

The thing is.. im just wondering how i can start eating again without actually gaining back the weight. I really dont want to come back to such a high weight again.

Thanks.
H.

Answer
Dear H.,

Eating without gaining weight is not possible!  Literally not possible.  You are very anorexic -- maybe it's time for you to find a good therapist and nutritionist who can help you stop the eating disorder behaviors, still be thin, eat healthily, and have a wonderful life!!  What do you think?  All of those things are true!

Warmly,
