Alright /fit/ here's my question.

I've been dropping weight. I lost about 99 pounds exactly right now and people have been telling me that

A) I'm anorexic
B) I'm Bulimic
C) I must be using crack

I don't think I look gaunt or anything. I've been pushing myself quite hard, but not eating less than 1300 calories a day and only working out for no more than 2 hours a day.

I don't care much about C), but am I anorexic or bulimic?

Thank you. That's what I've been saying too. I eat properly and I don't puke up my food.

They said that because I exercise so much that's why I'm anorexic.

Your losing weight fine, but no your not anorexic or bulimic. I'd stop with the 500 cal deficit though around 170-160 or until you got a BF% of 10% because lower then that and your really anorexic. Also GJ, they're just jealous shits because they would hang out w/ you because they would use you to make themselves look better.

When you would go out would they ask you to eat more? if so then they're trying to get you fat again. Either that or they're not used to the sudden change.

I don't drink much anymore and I think that bugs a lot of them. I noticed myself becoming a bit of a depressive alcoholic before mainly because of my weight problems and when I quit drinking, I sort of lost a lot in common with them.

You could stand to eat more. Your maintenance level must be well above 2000 calories. That's a pretty huge deficit. But you're not anorexic.

Get new friends OP? Either that or tell them I wanna be healthy so I don't drink as much or just fuck it just drink a beer or two and have a shot because you're gonna burn it off anyway. It wont hurt.

OP is definitely not anorexic, you're at a healthy weight now..if your friends can't appreciate that then they aren't your friends.

Oh I just switched what I drink now. I'll go out once a month for a rousing night of fun; but no more of this all weekend boozing trips where we end up crawling from pub to pub and find ourselves in the backseat of the car passed out with a exorbitant credit card receipts.

How long did it take you to lose all of the weight?

Anorexia is more a state of mind. As long as you reach a point where you think you look fine, are healthy, and want to stop there, you don't have a problem. Anorexics have a skewed sense of themselves and want to lose weight beyond what is normal and healthy.

Just tell your shitty "friends"
"Fuck you. I worked hard for this healthy weight, and if you can't accept that then you should go fuck yourself."

About 10 months. I dropped the last 50 pounds in 2 months though. I finally started caring about it and it just fell off. It's easy when you actually stick with it.

I want to get down to 170 and then stop. I've also been working out my arms, chest, legs, and abs so I can look better. Been doing great with it too.

Thanks a ton guys. I came here for advice in the past on how to start losing the weight and you guys all helped me out a ton.

Any time I needed encouragement or I had just an awful day and felt like giving up and going back to eating, you guys gave me the words I needed to hear.

Suppose I know this is a Chan website and all, but in reality, you guys really helped me lose this weight.

Thank you.

OP tell those fatties to stfu. When I lost weight (Went from 150 to 110 in a few months.) People thought I had an eating disorder. In truth I did not at all, I did it in a healthy way.. But it's just a reaction people have when you lose weight for some reason. It's ridiculous, honestly.
