I had problems with my eating habits since I was little. I was an obese- medically confirmed- child
and suddenly, due to a depression, started to loose weight. Anyways, 4 years ago I used to restrict-
not so much, really-
but last summer, after 3 years of being healthy with some small periods of restricting and others of
over-eating( not consiously, it was all natural because I did not intended
to get skinnier or fatter, I just ate what I felt was right) I started to vomit...I suddenly was overweight again.
My period stopped. Then, I received treatment and in 3 months I was in my weight
again and all cured, but in the beginning, I had edema in my legs and feet for about a month...guess
my body was readjusting my liquids.
I was fine for 6 months. In April, I began to restrict a little bit.
I had a calorimetry (do not how to call it in english) that told me that my calorie need per day was 1080,
and with excercise...around 1400. I am 1.61 cm tall and weight 56 kilograms. Now it is
been 2 months since I began to restrict (like around 700-900 calories) and I vomitted
in the last 2 weeks like 5 times. I am now 52 kilograms...but I had 3-5 days refeeding adequately.
My question...after all of this descriptions...is
if it is possible that with what I've done in the last 2 weeks (only 5 or 6 times I vomited) I am having an edema now that I am refeeding...
or is my metabolism slow and I am getting fat?
I just found out my feet are seriously big...I usually eat loads of salt and sodium
and drink tons of water...
My weight 3 days ago was 51.3 and now I am 52 after refeeding, but I noticed my feet.
Is it an edema? or I am getting fat?
Thank u and sorry for the english, not a native speaker.
