i was reading something and a girl who is 5foot and 118lbs
doesn't get her periods because of her anorexia which she suffers and she hasnt recently gained weight

where as im 5ft3 and 104lbs... and ive never lost mine because of my anorexia :(
it makes me cry because as weird as it is, the one thing i want from my e.d is for my periods to stop...then i can see my doctor act gormless over not knowing why they have... then maybe get help for the e.d

:'(

It depends how long you have gone, and the nutrients you take in...You should be trying to fix your Ed so go to a doctor and tel them about it.

It is malnutrition that has caused her to lose her periods not her weight. I can see why you would want to lose yours too and I understand your reasons but once they are gone they have gone forever..I don't think you would want to jeopardise your chances of having children for that single reason. There are other ways..Good luck xx

No u can get them back..
my friend didnt have hers for 2 yrs. then she got them back

Sweetie, PLEASE don't try and stop your periods. You are much better off just approaching your parents or your doctor about your eating disorder regardless. I dealt with anorexia for two years and I am now fully recovered so I'd be happy to talk to you anytime. Please don't hesitate to PM me.

She might starve, then binge.
Or she suddenly started to restrict and lost heaps of weight quickly which shocked her body. This happened to me. I have been suffering for a while now, haven't had my periods in a long time. However now my bmi is in the anorexic range, and I'm dying for it to be lower and lower, until I am classified as 'emaciated' at the very least.
If you ever want to talk about your ed feel free to message me.

You should go to the doctors anyway. Or if it's easier, go and say that you missed your period (but can't be pregnant) etc even though you haven't. And then work yourself up to a confession about your ED

I used to feel the same exact way. and i still kinda do. i feel like having my period means i'm fat
Aliboo Posted at 2:55 pm on July 4, 2009
not just the weight loss but the stress on your body is what causes people to miss their periods. if you stop eating it wont always make you lose weight but it will mess up your body systems

audibleSIN Posted at 2:41 pm on July 4, 2009
Eh, I probably can't help unless it involves hugs. Would you like a hug?

Also, BMI is pretty outdated.

GoodFairy13 Posted at 2:41 pm on July 4, 2009
Thats fucking retarded, you stop your periods, its likely you won't ever conceive.
You're taking a choice away from yourself before you even understand it.
Anorexia is so stupid.

You could just to the doctor anyway?
