About two years ago i was obsessed with my body and the way i looked. Frankly i thought i was fat. I would look in the mirror and all i would see was fat, though i never weighed more then 8.5 stones (54kg).
There was then this big turning point when i had lost a lot of weight and i was like a bag of bones. I realized how skinny i really was and that i really needed to do something.
I know weight just over 9 stone (59kg) but i still feel like i can add a few pounds, although i'm finding it a bit hard and I'm still skipping meals (but thats more to do with laziness )
but what i wanted to know was how many other guys have had problems with their weight wether its gaining it or just the way you look??

plenty of guys have problems with their weight; the majority of them just dont ever talk about it because its seen as a 'girl thing' because of the media; i mean is there a women's magazine in existance that doesnt have some kind of weight loss plan or celebrity anorexia story in it?
i used to have an eating disorder, and even now 2 years on i still have food issues. but there is a difference between wanting to lose weight and an eating disorder and im not sure which of the two you meant this thread to address?

well its was kinda both.. with me i started off wanting to loose weight but then it became obsessive to the point of an eating disorder so i'm addressing everything, whether you have weight problems in general or whether its an actual eating disorder Life is like a birthday until someone shits on your cake

Last year and a bit of the year before I had succumb to an eating disorder or two. It first started by skipping meals and wanting to get thinner as my so called "friends" were always telling me that I was fat (which I wasn't). I was originally 165 pounds and 6'2" and from not eating I dropped about ten of that really quickly. Then, I started purging after eating... which made me drop another ten. Long story short, I no longer hang out with those people and I'm not dealing with as much of the self consciousness and at the moment I'm 155.

ugh, i was anorexic for three years and kept the same weight of 95 pounds. 12, 13, 14. then eventually i went to see a nutritionist and she put me on weight gaining drinks and made me eat proper meals. i think i always was afraid of being fat, so i took that fear out on my already skinny body. but yeah, i find it hard to eat meals. for some reason.

The only time I skip a meal is if I ain't hungry, or if I can't be bothered getting off my big ass to make something!
Sorry just trying to keep the spirit here

I was about 90 pounds when I was 11, which was pretty weak considering how tall I was. When I hit puberty, I gained weight. By 14, I weighed 130 pounds. And then my dad noticed that I wasn't eating anything for breakfast or lunch cuz I basically hated eating so early. So he got me to eat in the morning and I gained like 40 pounds.
lol not sure if that's so inspiring.
