Dehydrated?????????????????!


Question: Dehydrated?????????????????
I am 13 years old & I suffer from anorexia. I weigh 51 pounds.
Anyway, tonight I ate alot for dinner so I felt really bad. I went upstairs to exercise & now I'm SOoooo thirsty but I cant get a drink because it'll make me fatter. I'm afraid I could've already gained a pound from dinner?!?!?
Am I dehydrated? Should I get a drink?

Answers:

Ok, I'm not trying to be judgy or something because this isn't exactly a detailed description of your situation but it sounds like you're just trying to get attention. I doubt you'd still be alive at 51 lbs as a 13 year old. If you were, you'd be in treatment or the hospital. But to address the question... Just drink water. A lot of water. You never want to risk dehydration. Water can't make you fat, just bloated but bloating eventually goes away. I doubt you could've gained a pound anyway. One pound is 3500 calories. If you honestly do have anorexia then seek medical/psyciatric help.

Common sense/ personal experiences



Yes. You're making your self horribly sick. Drinking water does't make you fatter. You kidneys are probably struggling since you're so malnourished.

I hope you can accept the help you need to be strong and well before you damage your health permenantly.
