    Default Can I find a happy medium?

    Hey, I'm 18 and 109lb. I am aiming to be around 98lb.
    I've found that having a diet of one apple and 2 ryvita biscuits every day has previously made the weight fly off but conflicts with my new love in life - exercise.

    I don't want to give it up. Suffering from depression whilst dieting makes me really anxious and subject to bingeing. Exercise relieves this, but in order to have the energy to do the intense cardio that gives me an exhilirating feeling I have to eat high-carb foods which means.. I don't loose any weight. Even if I exercise untill I faint.

    Is there any way to be at this weight without feeling too tired to stand and still being able to exercise?
    Right now I only eat raw vegetables and yoghurt.

    My doctor warned me that I wouldn't be able to exercise if I lost any more weight, but I really want to be skinny. Its the only thing I've ever wanted.
    Is there a happy medium?

    hi hun, how tall are u? coz right now at 109 i can see no reason why u cant do your exercises on an empty tummy - i do! i know u said u need the extra energy from food to do your workout properly but have u tried not? i mean it doesn't even take long for the body to shift and not yearn for food, it takes what it needs from your body fat. and oh god the high u get when u have fasted all day and then really pushed yourself in the gym (or wherever) when your legs are shaking and your head is spinning, the high is amazing.

    I am 5"7 so my BMI is roughly 17.4, ie I am only just underweight. This disgusts me even more, girls with BMIs under 15 can still exercise, I don't know whats wrong with me

    I am feeling a little better today though - I've ditched the yoghurt now and have switched to a more or less vegan diet. I think its just a matter of getting used to my new food intake. I think I might just do easy exercises for a while (speed walking on treadmill, low resistance x-trainer and bike) while I get used to it.

    Well done you for being able to carry on
