Someone Please Try And Help Me!! Posted: 11-05-03 21:00pm
Ok, i'm 17, and as most teenage girls do,
I worry about the way I look. I can't
help but think that i'm huge!!!
Although I don't weigh all that much. I
haven't eaten in 22 days...Nothing!!
Not so much as a peice of gum has entered
my mouth. I started out at 158 pounds,
now i'm down to 137 and dropping rapidly.
I'm about 5'4-5'5ish. Am I in danger of
having an eating disorder?? Do I have
an eating disorder?? I wanna eat, I
really do, but I can't! I try all the
time, but I can't bring myself to do it!!!
Help!

If I Could Grant You One Wish................... Posted: 11-06-03 19:06pm
That wish would be for you to stand on the
other side of you and see the person I
see. Even though I do not know you nor
you me...I was 17 a long long time ago. I
have felt fat my entire life, but never to
the point of not eating. You are going to
wind up in a hospital. Then, when they
find out what you have been doing, send
you to the psycho dept for eating
disorders.............You are a very
strong willed girl. I can feel this.
Otherwise, you would not have come here
and asked for help. That is the first
step. See, of all the post, I went and
found yours! You are not overweight. You
are only 17. If you will start to eat
correctly, healthy balanced meals and
continue to exercise, you will maintain a
good healthy weight. Someone has shot
your self esteem out of the saddle, and
you are the only one who can get back on
the horse.......So girlfriend, get your
ass back on the horse! You can do this.
You look in that mirror everyday and tell
yourself how special you are. God does
not make junk. You have to believe in
yourself if you want other to as well.
Just want you to know, there are lots of
use out here that have been where you are,
so you are not alone! Keep us posted and
be strong girl!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you fairygodmother. I'm going to
try and take your advice as much as I can.
Thank you for showing me that someone
does care. It means a lot even though I
don't know you, or vice versa. Once
again, thanks!

Some Advice!!! Posted: 11-06-03 23:06pm
I don't have an eating disorder, and I
don't know much about your situation, but
I want you to know that I care. I am 19
and my whole life I have been skinny.
Sometimes when I think that I am gaining
weight I start eating less. I also have
a nervous condition, when I get really
nervous, which is all the time, I dont
eat..I am always afraid that I am going to
get sick, so I don't eat. And let me
tell you not eating and letting myself get
over hungery and weak, and light headed is
worse then eating and getting sick. And
then a few days later I always have to go
to the bathroom alot cuz there is so much
acid in my stomach. You have to be so
unhealthy!! I can just imagine how you
feel, do yourself a favor, and talk to a
professional. Like the other woman said,
if you dont and let yourself waste away,
they will take you to the hospital and
admit you into rehab!!!! And I dont
think you want that! Talk to your
doctor, a friend a nurse , anyone close
enough so you dont have to go through this
yourself. If you start eating healthy
and excercise regularly you will maintain
a healthy diet and routine. I bet that
you are a beautiful girl, and as long as
you know that, who gives a crap what
anyone else thinks. You are strong you
can get through this!!!!! I wish you
the best of luck !!! You will feel so
much better about yourself, the first step
is realizing that you need help, the
second is actually doing it, and you are
the only one that can help yourself!

I Used to Have the Same Problem Posted: 01-23-04 19:41pm
Hey,
I used to have the same problem, I used
to want to eat but couldn't, but then, I
was hurting myself, I was getting so bad
that I was having black-outs(because I
wasn't eating enough)...I now have
lukemia(cancer) it's not fun at all....So
please don't end up like me. Eat, even if
it's fruit, try to eat a little at first
and gradually eat more as you can. That's
what i've started to do. Please don't end
up the way I am.
Let me know how it goes.
Liz

I agree with all the others, especially
the part about god not making junk!!
You do have an eating disorder!! You are
incredibly strong willed!!
You have already harmed your body (your
organs have not been fed for 22 days!!)!!
You can change & have taken the first
step.
As liz said start eating abit of fruit, or
a biscuit, some toast or some thin soup,
anything just start!! Or you will die!!
Eat or die your choice!!

Everyone goes through these problems....At
least mostly everyone. You are your own
critic. You pick out the things that no
one else see's. Eating for that long will
skrew up your metabolisim.(sorry if im
spelling incorrectly) right now i'm
pregnant and I feel really really really
huge! Sometimes I feel like not eating
but I do because I have to to keep myself
and my baby healthy. Even thought you're
not pregnant you need to eat to keep
yourself healthy.
Keep us updated on how your doing
lots of love

Right In There With You Posted: 01-28-04 02:27am
I know i'm replying a lot - and maybe i'm
"talking" more so that I can start to feel
better. But I know how you all feel.
I'm 21, and have battled both anorexia and
bulimia for 11 years. Up and down with
weight. And when it all started, when I
was 10, I was thin as it was.
It's my hope that, as many others have
posted, you all know I understand and am
here to help. It breaks my heart to know
that others are going to bed hungry, when
they don't have too. And it troubles me
so, that young girls are feeling the need
to starve themselves into an suicidal
ideal.
Love to you all!
I'm here to help!
Please reach out!

I hope you have eaten since you wrote this
post. I read your post a few days ago and
since then I have put on some weight. I
can't bare it I think its so disusting my
face is like a balloon I have decided to
not eat at all for a week I was thinking
if you did it for 22 days I could do it
for 7. If I don't do this I might never
be ok i'll go crazy, I was wondering did
you drink anything? I have not decided
wether to drink something but I think I
might have to drink water. I can't even
purge anymore i'm absoulthy patheic .
Sorry about this I just have no one else
to talk to and I needed to say it to
someone now I know i'll do it. No need to
write back.
