Someone Please Try And Help Me!!
Posted: 11-05-03 21:00pm

Confused 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 Crying
or Very sad. 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.
