| You're very skinny so obviously people aren't going to understand your fear of gaining weight because in their perspective you can certainly afford to. However, I know that's it's about yourself and what you feel comfortable with regardless how many times people tell you you are too skinny. I too have a fear of gaining weight. I can't enjoy food because I always imagine it accumulating on my body. All I can say is that ultimately health should be your priority and the weight that you are is unhealthy so I would suggest putting just a little weight on. You'll still be skinny as hell-too skinny even but you'll realize how even with weight gain you are still thin and guys will also find you more attractive if you have a bit more shape so that's a plus. ↑ |

dear kelly,
Unfortunately, once you pass a certain point, the skinnier you get, the fatter you believe you are. That is the usual progression of an image disorder. This doesn't mean you are mad but it does mean that anorexia has biochemically altered a part of your brain (the hypothalemus) to the point that you are no longer able to distinguish fact from fiction. And what a sad fiction it is. You say "I will commit suicide one day anyway"... doesn't that tell you something? And please don't say that people who decide on suicide are making a rational choice. Also hopefully, you don't glamorize insanity as some alternate form of genius... Because the truth is that just as you say "I will commit suicide anyway" - what you are really saying is "we all die anyway" - which is true but you think you are more in control if you kill yourself first just as you think you are more in control if you starve yourself. I had anorexia myself for years. The truth is I have never met an eating disorder patient who wasn't bright... but the truth is also that everyone who recovers from the disease says the samething "I can't believe what a trap or tunnel I was in with my sickness without knowing it" - the point is that a big part of your sickness is not being able to picture yourself leading a really happy life - it is part of the depression just as fear of never being able top eat normally (without thinking about it) is a part of every eating disorder patient's fears. But they do recover. They do become happy. And they do eat without considering what they are eating. And, besides that, most even stay pretty skinny without having to obsess over it. I should know. ↑ |

I don't have a clue what your aneraixa has spawned from, but most girls get it from the constant media pressure to look a certain way. Ie, the hollywood way. All im gona say is, look at Jordan, she is not fat, shes 5'6 and weighs 8 stone. Kylie Minogue I think is 5'5 and weighs 8 stone. They are not fat. They look good. So if you can see this for yourself then you must train your brain to accept that 8 stone is a good target weight for you to be at. And its safe. Hope this helps

| Ok, you have relised that you need help thats the first step. Congratulations. Next step is finding that help, all you have to do is get you parents or your friends to take you to the closest hospital and they will tell you were to go from there. Im only 16 years old and i have been anorexic. It started when i was 8 years old. Yes eight. I was only 37kg which is pretty much nothing. Dont let yourself down. You know where help is ... go and get it sweetie. I know there are heaps of people out there wanting to help you, just like they wanted to help me. ↑ |

We are all strangers on this board so she is talking to strangers! Folks that are trying to send her to a couseler or Dr are saying that they can not help her That she should talk to someone who can. When you have a broken bone you go to the drs so when you are bulimic & cutting you need to get professional help. Even a school counseler might be able to direct you to help.
Even if we knw what someone feels like does not make us qualified to help!!!!!
This is not a game my daughter died from this illness last week she would not get the help she needed and talked to people that are not Drs. and it killed her.
Thanks for nothing Stop.
If they call a hot line people know how to help and how they feel.
PLese call "Someone n need for Help}

Hey,
o.k i was never exactly anorexic but i was bulimic and i obsessed over my weight more than anybody i had ever met in my entire life.I used to throw up if i ate a slice of pizza and take diet pills and work out 3 times a day an hour of each session.I was religious about it.I mean it got sooo bad that when i ate and didnt want to throw up i did anyway because my stomach was so used to being empty.But there is a way to get better,i found ways to make myself not be like that but to be able to help u i do need to kno more about you,like y is it u feel this way,what ur past is like, the kind of peple u hang out with.Believe it or not alot of that usually has alot to do with it.so if u wanna talk u can always hit me back at [email protected],I check my mail everyday i will write u back asap.Promise ↑ |

| hun, what I honestly think you should do is, not worry about it. I know after you starve yourself and you eat u feel like you gain weight quikly. What you should do is stop starving youself. Start eating again juts very small portions. Starting now have a yogurt for brekfast, wait till lunch have half a sandwich and dinner some carrot sticks. I know now that seems like alot but it's really not. Just so you dont blow up..affter you eat and its night, go for a 10 min run or a 20 min walk (that way your eating but your not burning everything off) over time start eating a little more.but continue walking for 10 mins a day so your body can readapt to food ! =) good luck ↑ |
