Brief Answer:
What is your weight and height?

Detailed Answer:
HI,

I will like to know what your height and weight is as the decisions on weight need these parameters. Weight lost is not a sprint but a marathon. You have to stay the course for meaningful weight loss. Keep up with exercise and dieting and you will be marveled in the long run at how much progress you have made.

Thanks and wish you well.

I'm 5'6 and I weigh 180lbs. I'm concerned at how fast I gained it, is it possible that my homones are messes up? Is it possible that my body still thinks its pregnant? I seem to always be hungery and constintly find myself thinking about food, I'm working on myself control but sometimes I give into the cravings and binge eat. I have read a little on BID do I possibly have this disorder?

Brief Answer:
You must control your eating habit!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

If you cannot control you eating habit, exercise will certainly not lead to any weight loss. It is very important that you be able to eat little and spend more in terms of energy use for any weight loss to be observed. Try eating more vegetables, fibers and avoid fast and fatty meals.

BID related to many disorders in medicine. Would be nice that you state what you are referring to expressly.

Thanks and hope to hear from you!

BED- Binge Eating Disorder.

Brief Answer:
Thanks for the precision!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

If you eat so much and then have the voluntary urge to vomit thereafter, then there is a real concern there. I will suggest that you see a psychiatrist for this for evaluation and treatment. There will and cannot be any real weight loss when you continue eating much, even more than the body needs.

Keep me posted on your visit to the psychiatrist. Feel free to follow up and ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
