re: anyone ever had or know someone who had an eating disorder?

150 is pushing it, bro.

I was in your situation. I'm about your height and I got down to 155. I was ripped, but it was too much. I realized I had a body image problem.

Now, I'm over 170 and I look a whole lot better.

How tall are you? I'm 6'3" and fluctuate between 205-215. I also lift regularly and go thru bulk/cut periods.

Do y'all think 150 is too skinny?

I have known girls your size that look perfectly fine, so yes.

If you have a lanky body type, that might be acceptable. I'm 5'11 and 175 has me cut (185 right now). My upper body is naturally big though, and I looked fine at 200 when I was working out.

It seems like all of that working out would cut into the time you could be spending with your kids

im almost 5'11 with broad shoulders and a large frame. my dr measured my bones and i did some test on my body and i fall in the "large frame" category.

yeah its tough man, its a work in progress. im just afraid to gain weight without gaining fat. i want my clothes to still fit.

i now avoid work happy hours and dinners because i dont trust myself. its an addiction just like drugs, alcohol, etc. i know if i go to a nice restaurant on the company dollar i will eat 3-4,000 calories and not eat for the day after so its easier to just avoid it.

I have known both anorexics and bulimics. The one thing they all had in common was they were absolutely amazing liars about their conditions.

I think you are telling the truth here because it is an anonymous message board. Commit to telling the truth when you are speaking to medical professionals as well. They are there to help you by routing you in the right direction. The more they know, the better decisions they can make, on your behalf.

Good luck.

Dude, you need to get fat. Honestly, I'd say a guy of your height should in the very least be 165, and I'd say more likely 175. You must look like a skeleton. Start eating, man. Being 5 pounds overweight isn't going to kill you.

185-190 at 5'11" is perfectly ok

I know someone very close to me who had an extremely similar workout regiment and thought process toward food & eating as you do. I'll get to the point, you are damaging your body. ie muscle tissue & liver. You have a very long road ahead of you and there is no way you can do it without help in my opinion. You need an anorexic specialist and a dietician. I don't mean to scare you because I know how important it is to you but they are going to want you to cut way down on your workouts, they sound very excessive even if you ate enough calories. Send me an email if you have any specific questions, I know all about what you are getting ready to experience. Good luck man! wrosev1@gmail.com

What does your daily diet look like? It seriously sounds like you are more excessive with your workout routine than anything.
